Horror Gaming: Pokemon Creepypasta: Forgotten Yellow Review · 5:28am Jun 1st, 2021
A new edition of Horror Gaming is up, and we go over a creepypasta about a Pokemon Yellow version playing differently. As mentioned, gaming CPs slowly gained a reputation of producing poor results during the early portion of the 2010s. With the exception of Ben Drowned, Team Fortress 2 CPs and some original ones, these were the only good examples. When Sonic.EXE, MaRIo and Pokemon Blood Edition are listed on the resume of gaming CPs then you know something is wrong. These were notorious for their crappy writing and clichés used so often. As I have mentioned previously, eventually these writers would slowly get away from such bad habits in storytelling. Are there still terrible CPs getting produced till this day? Yes, there are, but they are far and in-between today—Friday the 13th NES from L.W. Sulton is an example of quality CPs being written lately.
For the story itself, Forgotten Yellow is among the few that’s based off the game to come out in the last decade. There is one called Rotted Yellow and another titled Jessica based on a guy naming his Pikachu in the plot. Often, its Lavender Town and its backstory that was used the most to tell these campfire tales around the first gen games. It's nice a break for the writers to do so to keep things fresh instead of relying on the same theme. The plot centers around a guy who one day after completing all his games gets the urge to experience Yellow Edition again. However, instead of being the same old game he previously went through it plays very different on this occasion. Did his new copy of Yellow Version get swiped for a rom hack at a store? Or is there something terrible about his play through this time?
