Today we’re playing Pokemon Opalo! A fairly new Pokemon Fan Game that’s recently been translated into English.
This playthrough is slightly different than normal because I have a chat to talk to while I play, however most interactions will be removed for your viewing pleasure. I hope you enjoy it!
The statement “Fan games are better than real games” is a bold one. While fan games often showcase impressive creativity, passion, and unique perspectives, it’s essential to consider the broader context.
The Appeal of Fan Games
- Passion and Dedication: Fan games are often developed by passionate individuals with deep knowledge of the original source material.
- Innovation: Free from commercial constraints, fan games can experiment with new ideas and mechanics.
- Community Focus: Fan games often cater directly to the desires of a specific fanbase, resulting in a more tailored experience.
- Nostalgia: Many fan games evoke a sense of nostalgia by revisiting classic franchises or offering fresh takes on beloved characters.
The Advantages of Real Games
- Professional Development: Real games benefit from larger budgets, experienced teams, and advanced technology.
- Quality Control: Rigorous testing and development processes ensure a higher level of polish and consistency.
- Wider Appeal: Real games often aim for a broader audience, resulting in more diverse gameplay experiences.
- Economic Viability: The gaming industry relies on revenue to support continued development, leading to innovation and improvement.
Finding a Balance
Ultimately, the “better” game depends on individual preferences. Some players may prefer the raw creativity and passion of fan games, while others value the polish and production values of commercial titles.
Both fan games and real games have their place in the gaming world. It’s often the combination of elements from both that leads to truly exceptional gaming experiences.

I played this decently thru and I loved the fire type starter he's really versitle
"Open the letter, you worthless piece of shit!" had me choking
I know it's gonna reach you by episode 8 B's of the delay , but I believe the villain is pronounced like the gun so sounds like Dare-en-ger
Women really do be marrying dudes who disagree with them on basic human rights issues
this fangame is a really good one, its creator said it was intended to be sort of his magnum opus. also I'm trying to beat a deathless nuzlocke of it and wiped to the league on my 15th attempt
Krillin and Tien are bald.
Bruh, this Wooloo it's literally the black sheep! Hahahahaha dope.

It’s like 9/11 but in the Pokemon world
The dad has no chill
“I am going to unplug you google. Nobody loves you.” based
19:28 is that the edgelord rival from Pokemon Clover?
Doesn't look like it matches up to the official games
What emulator does it need lol
the only pokemon Fan game i ever played that is 10/10 is POKEMON PHOENIX RISING. the only thing that i didnt liked is that they didnt complete the game.
did your kid sharpie on you?
Why are fan games either "cutesy candy yay" or "blood death and destruction edge"? There's like no inbetween.
this is why we should praise the actual game makers instead of companies. so fuck nintendo.
Capitalism? Worst for society? Whaaaa???? Not Wars?? Not religion?????? Lol
This Fangame is up there with Sage and Coral as one of my favorite Pokemon fangames I've ever played.
But it might also be because SC/VI is SOO SOO BAD in comparison and the last good Pokemon-Like I played was Nexomon Extinction 2 years ago.
I personally like seeing some chat interactions in a video i make me feel included and adds more personality to the playthrough
I'm late to the party on this but open the letter first line had me in stitches. To be fair, your reaction was probably what made it super funny. Love the content, keep it up!
how can i download it
The answer to question 6 was very very easy, Religion is and has always been the biggest problem with are world.
Even more so today as it is keeping humanity from evolving and is holding us back.
