Playing on an emulator really fucked up my perception of how Pokemon is supposed to be played because while playing Pokerogue with quick animations, cursor memory to repeat moves, and holding X to skip dialogues, I still find myself pressing Tab on instinct.

It's that distinct type of shitty sidescroller you'd see in a flash Newgrounds game about killing Justin Bieber.

Cycles between being a stupidly fun 15 minutes shootout of pure dual wielding bliss that makes you think "This is so cool I wonder why people don't like this one as much" to watching an unskippable 2 minutes racist cutscene and remembering why.

Another vicim of the early 10's weird aesthetic that I can only describe as "indie gymbro" that gave us some of the ugliest games I have ever seen like Broforce, Rocketbirds, Shank, Expendabros, etc...
