Nah, we are friends that met online.

Okay. Earthbound stars Ness (thr kid from smash Bros) as he goes on a quest to beat Giygas.

I played all of them for free through ROMs, but I don't think I can give you sites that house it.
I can tell you the game system though,

Mother 1 NES
Earthbound SNES
Mother 3 GBA

Mother 3 is a Japanese only game,(yet the main character Lucas is in English Smash bros.) but you can find fan translations online.

I would say these games can be somewhat hard if you do not know what your doing. I know there is a play through post here some where, Just have equipment,and use your brain,and rolling HP bars. I suggest you start with Earthbound first, even though it is the second game. I would not look up anything about it. If you have a question, you can probably ask around here.

To end this off, here is something I found that may or may not be true, it is cool though.

"By hacking into the Pokemon Red ROM, you can find that one of Red’s original default names was Ninten."

It is a pretty fun series to play, but i would agree that some parts are a little difficult, especially if you don't know what to do. Just a fair heads up Mother 3 gets really sad.







Also a little thing i noticed deoxys (normal form) looks somewhat similar to eve (from the first mother) mainly the head shape and torso

Yeah, I see how they are alike. Kind of how Dragonite was first used in Earthbound and the name became a Pokemon.

Quick question, do you know which level you was when you beaten Earthbound? I feel like I beaten it under leveled.

I tend to spend a lot of time leveling up my team before getting to the harder (or final) bosses in games, usually I end up being over leveled. I remember that Ness was level 91 and that Paula was level 87, but the only thing I remember about Jeff and Poo is that they were around level 70. Would you say that this is over leveled? I have seen people with their entire party at level 100, but I try my best not to spend too much time leveling up my party.

I think the highest level in my party was 70.
I don't really grind much in games.

I think it is a mixture of me under leveling, and you over leveling, then again, you might be at the correct level.

The only place I really grinded at was at Moonside, and that is because I was lost. I manage to beat Giygas by mainly healing, giving Paula the best equipment, and guarding. But when I say that, I think that is what pretty much everyone done. Did you also do that.

I went back to the fight, and I did not realized that The boss music was pretty cool! I must of was distracted by something to not notice it. I wonder what.

I... Don't really think about story too much. I prefer adventure, so I like Earthbound best.

Mother 3 does have a great (and pretty sad) story, and Earthbound did have pretty great gameplay to it.

I would have to say I did a pretty similar thing as well; I do remember that I did lose Jeff in the battle. Also the song that plays when you fight Pokey/Porky is a great sounding song


Also little question, who's your favorite boss in the series?

Well, The battles I can most remember are the final bosses and Master belch. The only reason for belch is because I got stuck on his battle for the longest time, and I finally won when I realized that I could of use the fly honey.

Honestly, The boss I felt the best was Starman Deluxe. I did the battle a few times, and I felt as a master strategist when I finally beaten him.

The fire dog, the mole cricket, and Fassad come close.

Since this is also a Pokemon message board, who will win.

Arceua vs Giygas (Earthbound form) Sees what happens to the universe
Mewtwo vs Ness (or Lucas is you think he is stronger) See who is the second strongest physic.

I am not including Ninten, because I honestly feel that Ninten could easily beat Any version of Mewtwo. But hey, your opinion might be different from mine.

You can also decide if your going off Smash Ness/Lucas. When their friends taught them some PKs.
