Gaming News: Remember the Gameboy’s Completion Certificate? Here’s Why Gamers Are Nostalgic!
When you consider Pokémon, it’s usually the number of Pokémon collected that first comes to mind for a fan. The idea of filling a complete Pokédex is an enticing notion, isn’t it? However, let’s face it, for numerous players, it was more like a challenging and lengthy adventure of heroic dimensions. The early Game Boy games featured some Pokémon that were incredibly hard to acquire honestly, such as Mew, which required a sophisticated glitch to obtain. As one user humorously put it, “It’s kind of amusing that getting it honestly was almost impossible.” Certainly, the completion certificate made the effort worthwhile, but obtaining it felt like defeating the final boss in a dungeon. Spoiler alert: Acquiring the certificate proved to be nearly as difficult as completing an actual dungeon in a traditional RPG! Now, players look back fondly on that unique challenge as they reminisce about their unforgettable journeys filled with wild Pokémon encounters and competitive trades.
