There is a chance it had some effect but I've never been a misty respecter so it would have had to be a very early subconscious bias

Seeing a mutual say "Hinako" and my brain says yes, I also want Blue Reflection 3

Oh yeah I remember these. I think most of them are pretty weak, but I remember having fondness for the Majora and Twilight Princess ones.. might have just been because of my bias for those games tho lol

Never liked these ones as games to play through very much, but it unquestionably is the games where they flexed their writing muscles in both the most ambitious and successful ways.

Also has a ton of great pokemon designs that I cherish dearly
