I fell for the advertising for this as a kid and it ended up under the tree one christmas. It's a game where you watch TV and hang out with a Pikachu, talk to Pokemon, go out in the world. A life sim, maybe? Who knows. It's slow and meandering but I loved it, spent hours in the in-game paint tool and named my Pikachu "Bruce" after my favorite stuffed animal at the time. I've revisited it throughout the years; showed it to my niece who enjoyed it and would pester me to put it in the Wii when I babysat her when I was a teen as well as through emulation as an adult. It's chill and calm, a weird blip on the Pokemon timeline.

If you're looking for a cozy game that you can pick up for short bursts, check this one out! There's a GBC version and a GBA version (Ruby & Sapphire). I've been enjoying the GBC version on the Delta Emulator and the GBA version on my Miyoo Mini+. GLHF! 😄

Jumpstart Animal Adventures that I’d play ALL the time before and after Primary School. This echolocation song was burned into my brain and I still catch myself singing the words “I find my prey I find my way, echo-loca-tion yeahhh” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvr4KSDA9Yo
(Batney Ears tho, iconic)
also I had an early game save just to leave Jak & Daxter running on Sentinel Beach even when I wasn't actively playing it, purely so I could listen to its theme whenever I wanted. My parents would get annoyed at me for leaving the TV on haha, but hearing it always made me feel so calm (:

sometimes when i'm feeling extra awful i'll sit back and watch a playthrough of this on youtube (linked). i spent hours upon hours on this game as a kiddo. it's a super simple computer game (as most 90's kid's games were i think) but the richard scarry universe has so much charm!! 100% getting something from here tattooed someday

This has been on my rotation lately. I got the cassette during a sale a few weeks ago, but found out about them months ago. They write really catchy hooks, I love the singer's voice in conjunction with the backing vocals and guitars. My favorite songs are Teen Challenge and Fade
