What is the single most iconic moment in all of gaming?

>blah blah blah
This isn't your personal blog faggot

The feeling you have after bonking your head on the first blocks and dying to the goomba at the beginning of 1-1

Final Fantasy VII is like Evangelion; it was a big deal to the people who played it, but it doesn't really do much for video games as a whole. Like one of the Dragon Quest games caused teachers to let Japanese kids have the day off from school so they could go buy it and play it at home, that's the kind of gaming thing you would need to compete against, and FF7 isn't Dragon Quest.

omg is that... IS THAT HECKIN RED??? FROM THE FIRST GAME??? WTF SO FRICKIN EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dragon Quest is a literal who series in the west.

>Optional post end game side encounter that has nothing in game to put you on the path to go there

90% of people who played these games never even made it does far

>Yea Forums isn’t my personal blog
Lol since when?

His team was so bad. Pikachu didnt even have a light ball.

Dragon Ball would've been like that as well. The original manga got turned into an anime and that anime was going to be localised and got rejected. Westerners back in the 1980s were really stupid, aren't they?

…

>TUN TUN TUN TUNLUNLUN

So that's why I never knew about this. I'm pretty sure I'd always move on to something else after beating the elite four in pokemon games.
Fighting the protagonist of another game or even the series' main protagonist will always be my favorite trope.

No Dragonball in west would have been weird. That's like the number one show other than Pokemon and Sailor Moon people watched growing up.

Do you even understand what iconic means?

What got localised in the west was when Dragon Ball Z became a thing. You can look it up. I'm not much of a Toriyama Akira fan, but the original Dragon Ball anime got rejected when it was first pitched to be localised in the west, so westerners got to watch it wa~ay later, and associated it with Sailor Moon which whose popularity in Japan was following after Dragon Ball (their respective mangas were being serialised at different dates).

I suggest you go back.

Again, do you not understand the meaning of the word iconic? How can it be fucking iconic if 90% of the people who played the game didn’t even fucking see it?

>evangelion didnt do much for anime
99% of the posts here are from people who have no clue what the fuck they're talking about. i already knew that, yet i still got mad

SMW or Tetris are synonymous with video games anywhere you go.
What is your point? If you want to count YouTube views this is trivial and Undertale or Minecraft is the most iconic game.

Ruining anime didn't do much for anime.

the pokeball is handsdown the most iconic and recognizable video game icon in the world

undertale and minecraft are good candidates

I accept your concession and I’m glad you agree that it was foolish of you to make this stupid thread in the first place. Thanks for being such a good sport about it.

It didn't do much as a whole. Mainstream versus sub culture. If you were alive in the 1990s, you might think it was a big deal just like FF7 was a big deal if you were part of the Otaku sub culture, but it didn't affect people in the main stream like Dragon Quest did for video games that caused people to skip work and school to go play it. I would have to think hard what kind of animation had that sort of power, maybe one of Disney's older films like Bambi.

heh... not bad kid...

normies don't even know what undertale is. its popularity is only inflated because the internet is majority comprised of furries and weebs who try to populate every corner of the internet they can to validate eachothers' shitty opinions. it's why furryism has become so normalised on the internet nowadays.

Minecraft IS the most iconic game
or one of the most iconic games

see

What do you think more people know? World 1-1 or the Pac-Man death sound? As time goes on it will definitely become 1-1 but even a decade ago I have a feeling the Pac-Man death sound was much more well known.

Yeah but does it have any iconic moments?

Unironically something like "creating a world in Minecraft" would probably best fit OP's question

Not OP but a lot of people made it that far. This was my first Pokémon game after learning how to read so I couldn’t have been past 1st-2nd grade and I’ll never forget the moment I ran into this dude. I thought it was ash Ketchum

>FFVII

If it's strictly anime, South America as a whole would stream Dragonball movies in major downtown areas, and their uma delicia jungle ape chanting may or may not have influenced the music for the Broly movie.

how is this proving your point exactly? not a single person in that crowd recognized the song

Completing four lines at once in Tetris.

But Pokémon has views and mainstream popularity, again I don’t think it’s the most iconic moment but it was the defining moment of the Pokémon series imo

Imagines have this on vhs

The defining moment of the pokemon series was the intro to the first episode of the anime.

This shit is insane, and the most hype I've had is watching the Broly movie in Mesa, Arizona in a theater packed with spics.

It feels weird to think that pokemon is the biggest entertainment franchise out of everything
Like if aliens came and we had to show them our flagship franchise, it would be pokemon

wait if he is a chud why does he wear a chud face? your meme makes no sense

You guys aren't thinking logically. You are thinking like a teenager/young man. You also aren't taking into account the entire world. Pokemon is a good contendor because it was fucking huge all over the world in the 90's. Boomers know Pac-Man, Q*bert and Mario. Boomers don't know Minecraft. I'm sure they have heard their younger relatives speak about it but most have no idea what it actually is.

Well I meant games

kek

This, it'd be foolish to say the games aren't popular but they're not the main reason Pokémon has been internationally beloved for twenty something years. It's a massive media franchise, the games are the foundation but I don't think there's any universal experience tying it together. I've played every game since Red and I don't think I could point to anything and say "this is the defining moment of the franchise, this is what Pokémon is all about." If anything it'd be getting your Pokémon from Professor Oak in Pallet Town, or even just the "Welcome to the world of Pokémon!" intro, I can still hear the music crystal clear in my head.
