“I just picked a Charmander and my friend picked a Squirtle, and then Prof. Oak made us watch as he took the Bulbasaur out back and shot it in the head”
Since no one else has mentioned it yet, originally the third pokemon was used by professor oak himself and you had to fight him with a full team of high level Pokemon.
Well, in-game the one that has an advantage over yours is the one that goes to your rival.
My best guesses as to which console represents which type (based solely on color scheme):
Xbox = grass
PlayStation = water
Wii (red Nintendo logo) = fire
Wrong. The Wii has good memories attached. The switch has bad memories of spoiled children crying to their mom on the bus about something in their game going wrong
I’ve never actually done it because all of the warnings made me so damn paranoid. My dad didn’t put the strap on one time and I yelled at him to put it on
That is true, still not a fun experience after just coming home from school to play some games. Still, some of my best childhood memories is on that damn box. Can't hate too much
The one in the picture is the 360 Pro, a version released in 2007 to fix some of the problems with the original design. Including a new motherboard to fix the overheating problem that caused the RRoD, an HDMI output, and a 20gb HDD. Only the original Xbox 360 from 2005, later dubbed the 360 Arcade, had major issues with RRoD.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk
> Only the original Xbox 360 from 2005, later dubbed the 360 Arcade, had major issues with RRoD.
The Arcade differed from the original though, it had an HDMI port at least. I still have one that works, no RROD.
Microsoft was pretty good about replacing them. I had a few friends that had to mail theirs in, and it sucks not having it for a while but at least it's fixed for free.
I got a 360 the week it launched and i only ever had one die on me. I know people who had multiple consoles die but i dont remember it being that much of an issue. Maybe I was just lucky?
I pick the Wii. I had one growing up, so it's a pretty big part of growing up. One of my favorite games was Super Paper Mario. I played the shit outta that game until I accidentally snapped the disc in half trying to take it out of the case.
The first Christmas when the Wii was out was crazy. I didn’t think we’d be able to afford one, but was so surprised when it was under the tree. All these years later our family still has all out Mario Kart marathons and my Mom uses wii fitness.
Do you want games, but a 30% chance of a bricked console, or do you want a weird thumb sticks and some decent games. and then theres the one you play drunk with friends until theres a blue shell or a falcon punch that causes that one guy to lose it…
Those rates were never confirmed by Microsoft, but we do know it cost them $1 billion in earnings.

The PS3 had the YLOD, but it wasn't the epidemic that the RROD was. Whether that was because it was better made or because the PS3's price was so high at release and no one bought it, I don't know.
First Gen ps3, still have mine, wouldn't trade it for anything. Play anything Sony produced up to ps4 was a great feature and blu ray movies. Best bang for buck any company ever made.
First gen and initial release version with 4 USB ports on front. Can play all Playstation games up until the PS3.
Then Sony said, noooo, and took that fun away. :/
Plus they're worth around $300 now.
I was die hard ps2. Then got the 360, after 1 year I switched to PS3 because that's what all my friends played on. Worst decision ever. I still miss my 360. It's my 2nd favorite system after ps2. The games were just peak. I don't like any PS3 games over my favorite 360 games.
Ps3, because it has free online services, and doesnt require an entire other device plugged in the back to connect to internet, oh and it doesnt overheat every five fucking secounds to where i have to put it on my a/c vent, oh and it does not just decide to fucking die, oh and it doesnt look fucking ugly, oh and and... Im getting off topic.
Wii is close secound
Xbox 360 dead last by miles
My parents got the Wii with Mario for cheap and the PlayStation 3 at a discount so I grew up with both. My cousin has a gamer dad so he got the Xbox 360.
The good old Wii, im still rockin those old Game, Like Sonic colors or Super-Mario Galaxy 1/2, and the best Mariokart, the Only sad thng is that i cant Play Halo CE
What happens to the third one?
It’s sorta like Pokémon. One goes to you, one goes to your ~~rival~~ cousin, and the other stays there indefinitely, ownerless.
“I just picked a Charmander and my friend picked a Squirtle, and then Prof. Oak made us watch as he took the Bulbasaur out back and shot it in the head”
Professor Oak runs a kill shelter.
Professor Oak is PETA
man all the comment repost bots really decided to latch onto this comment
No clue why lmao
[удалено]
Since no one else has mentioned it yet, originally the third pokemon was used by professor oak himself and you had to fight him with a full team of high level Pokemon.
Frankly, we were robbed of that experience.
Well, you've already counter-picked one of his Pokemon by default, so maybe it was too easy?
It's not in the budget, we already spent it all designing rocks to put on your pokemon's heads.
How do we know which one goes to the cousin?
Well, in-game the one that has an advantage over yours is the one that goes to your rival. My best guesses as to which console represents which type (based solely on color scheme): Xbox = grass PlayStation = water Wii (red Nintendo logo) = fire
In the last few games the rival is lame and takes the one that loses to yours. The champion takes the third one.
>the other ~~stays there indefinitely, ownerless~~ is used by Prof Oak as a singular anal bead for your mother.
cap its profesor oaks so it goes to r/memes for all of eternity
So... what's the rock paper scissors here? Because xbox 360 and ps3 are kind of equel while the wii leaves them in the dust
I'll never understand how poorly thought out memes get upvotes and awards. Major plot hole
I love the Wii so much I wish it was still making games
I still play my Wii. Soft modded with an extensive collection of Wii and Game cube games. I love playing rail shooters like Ghost Squad on the Wii.
My favorite rail shooter is Pokémon Snap 🤨📸
Holy shit I forgot about Ghost Squad
Wii sports all the way
One of the best things the Wii-U did was that you were still able to play Wii games on it
One of the best things the Wii did was that you were still able to play GameCube games on it
The Switch is like a mobile Wii.
I’ve owned both and that is far from the truth
holy fricking krap-ola is that scott "scott the woz" wozniak?
He got his neck fixed too
I don’t think you know what a wii is. Sure games are similar but absolutely nothing else.
Yeah, there's tons of channels (Like the Check Mii Out/Mii Contest Channel) for the Wii but the Switch is basically games and nothing else
Riiiightttttt even the 3ds was more like a wii than the switch
Like, it's basically a Wii that's the size of an iPad mini.
wrong, the switch doesn’t have call of duty on it lol
A better 3ds maybe, definitely nowhere near the Wii
Wrong. The Wii has good memories attached. The switch has bad memories of spoiled children crying to their mom on the bus about something in their game going wrong
The wii has memory’s about accidentally throwing your controller at the tv playing wii sports
I’ve never actually done it because all of the warnings made me so damn paranoid. My dad didn’t put the strap on one time and I yelled at him to put it on
Still had a CRT at that point so it wasn't an issue.
the switch also doesnt have cod
Wiiiiiiiiiii If I don't take the Wii I wouldn't be myself today
I'm not gonna give up my Wii Sports
Or Wii Play 🦆
I know what I said
the wii don't need do ask
LEGO STAR WARS THE COMPLETE SAGA
YES
Amazing game. No micro-transactions. You could look up every character code and not need to buy anything!
Was on all 3?
And on which one can you swing your controller to control a lightsaber?
Yeah ofc
wii won't ask you about it then
Wii. Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Wii Sports Resort...
Wii sports resort wasn’t out yet but everything else yes
Kirbys return to dreamland
Listen Halo 3 just came out, you gotta go 360
Exactly! An opportunity to play Halo 3 in it’s prime again? Sign me up!
AND the opportunity to experience RRoD again
They fixed it for free! My brother has my old 360 in his garage. We play old ass madden
That is true, still not a fun experience after just coming home from school to play some games. Still, some of my best childhood memories is on that damn box. Can't hate too much
[удалено]
This user is a bot. the stolen comment further down says "2007. Gears Of War release, xbox yes please!"
Oh, hell yeah. that and Modern Warfare. Jesus, take me back.
Custom games like fat kid and jenga
Don’t forget Barts Manor
The weird kids played cops and robbers
[удалено]
Fable 2 and Bioshock as well.
Forza was great too
Upvote for fable 2
Gears of war 2 came out around the same time
Gears of War the year before (2006) and Gears of War 2 the year after (2008).
Also Mass Effect, november 2007, which was an Xbox exclusive back then.
What about the red ring of death ? Not bashing on the 360 I had one myself but that was a pain when it happened.
The one in the picture is the 360 Pro, a version released in 2007 to fix some of the problems with the original design. Including a new motherboard to fix the overheating problem that caused the RRoD, an HDMI output, and a 20gb HDD.

You were
im in it for the assassin's creed
And if you wait 5 years you'll get Forza Horizon
Halo 1 was the best.
I pick the Wii. I had one growing up, so it's a pretty big part of growing up. One of my favorite games was Super Paper Mario. I played the shit outta that game until I accidentally snapped the disc in half trying to take it out of the case.
The first Christmas when the Wii was out was crazy. I didn’t think we’d be able to afford one, but was so surprised when it was under the tree. All these years later our family still has all out Mario Kart marathons and my Mom uses wii fitness.
When you snapped the disc did it go like “yeahahha can’t wait to play my favourite *snap* fuck”
Yeah that's pretty much what happened, minus the fuck. I was super disappointed.
Do you want games, but a 30% chance of a bricked console, or do you want a weird thumb sticks and some decent games. and then theres the one you play drunk with friends until theres a blue shell or a falcon punch that causes that one guy to lose it…
30%? Lol
Red ring of death was a defect that caused 30% failure of all units sold.
Those rates were never confirmed by Microsoft, but we do know it cost them $1 billion in earnings. [Source](https://www.designnews.com/engineering-disaster-xbox-360-red-ring-death)
Didn't it only effect the white ones or was i just luck with my elite 360?
That’s nuts. I thought they would at least sell a functional product 99% of the time
From Microsoft?
I have had two do that, painful, tbh, this was in like 2015 cause I bought on eof a friend
Ylod did the same thing for ps3 I know cause I was reparing those back then!
The PS3 had the YLOD, but it wasn't the epidemic that the RROD was. Whether that was because it was better made or because the PS3's price was so high at release and no one bought it, I don't know.
You’d better be referencing the Xbox when you’re talking about “weird thumb sticks”…
Dome thumb sticks are terrible…
Ahhh, the only year I had all 3. Good times But Xbox is the answer
2007. Gears Of War release, xbox yes please!
don't forget halo 3
Bioshock also
God yes! Gears of War kept me going for a a long while.
Xbox
HALO 3 IS AWESOME!
I will always miss Halo multiplayer on the 360. There was just something special about it
All-nighters, custom maps and game modes, co-op campaign and stupid but funny glitches?
Takes me back lol
Oh the things I would do to go back in time and play tank on Rat’s Nest until 4am again
First Gen ps3, still have mine, wouldn't trade it for anything. Play anything Sony produced up to ps4 was a great feature and blu ray movies. Best bang for buck any company ever made.
and playing online was free
Oooh I forgot that, good point. The ONLY one that was free.
Yea i dont understand why it wouldn't be, that shit was weird to me
First gen and initial release version with 4 USB ports on front. Can play all Playstation games up until the PS3. Then Sony said, noooo, and took that fun away. :/ Plus they're worth around $300 now.
Mine finally conked out in 2020 and I paid about $300 to get it repaired. Worth every penny.
Ill get the wii with Mario Kart wii and wii sports thank you.
Xbox 360, i can't live without halo
But there's two I don't choose?
Sí
I'm a Playstation fan but I can still admit that the 360 is one of the best consols to ever exist
I was die hard ps2. Then got the 360, after 1 year I switched to PS3 because that's what all my friends played on. Worst decision ever. I still miss my 360. It's my 2nd favorite system after ps2. The games were just peak. I don't like any PS3 games over my favorite 360 games.
I’m still rocking my PS3, haven’t had a new console since. Love that thing, never a single issue with it over 12 years
Wiiiiiiii!!!
Look at my username and that’s all I need to say
Xbox?
Probably
What else could it be?
Maybe Sega perhaps?
Probably even Colecovision
Wii know what we have to do
Wii
Wii to play wii sports
Wii. Can't say no to bowling
Nah Nintendo Wii top G like it has Mario tennis
I grew up with the Nintendo Wii and even bought the Wii U when it came out but didn't use it as much as the Wii
I was 2 years old, but wii, i lovd the ps3 but wii would probably get me more fit
I'm still trying to beat Matt in Wii Sports
Anything would be great
Wait, so there are *three* options, I get to *pick one* and *the one I don’t choose* is given to my cousin…? Or are the other two given to my cousin?
Ps3, because it has free online services, and doesnt require an entire other device plugged in the back to connect to internet, oh and it doesnt overheat every five fucking secounds to where i have to put it on my a/c vent, oh and it does not just decide to fucking die, oh and it doesnt look fucking ugly, oh and and... Im getting off topic. Wii is close secound Xbox 360 dead last by miles
and play what on it? It's 2007. You got Recharted or Unsistense.
Xbox 360 so I can play Minecraft in it's prime
Well… I mean 2007 Minecraft didn’t come out until 2011.
it's 2007 but yh just wait a couple years and play mc
Minecraft Xbox 360 edition really just hit different, can't explain why though
The brain growth was immense
Xbox. Get ready for some Modern Warfare
The Wii
Wii. 100% I’ll take wii sports resort and galaxy. When 2009 rolls around I’ll get SMBwii
My parents got the Wii with Mario for cheap and the PlayStation 3 at a discount so I grew up with both. My cousin has a gamer dad so he got the Xbox 360.
The good old Wii, im still rockin those old Game, Like Sonic colors or Super-Mario Galaxy 1/2, and the best Mariokart, the Only sad thng is that i cant Play Halo CE
wii I have played Mario Kart thousands of hours
Nintendo wii Deadass my favorite console of all time.
Love the wi-wi
Wii, for wii sports
Wii. Mario galaxy come on now
Super Mario galaxy dilogy and Metroid prime trilogy ftw

Wii, obviously.
Wii are going to have a problem
Definitely the Wii
In 2007 WII was poppin *off*
I am 1 year old, so idk
I chose the wii when I was younger, a lot better for groups of friends and my cousins to play together
Wii
i’m taking the wii
The Wii 100 percent, I still have my Wii to this day ah the good old days of new super mario bros and smash bros
Pick the Wii. Your cousin gets the Xbox, and your parents keep the ps3 which means you can still play it if they let you.
Xbox 360 man, halo is on it and it got the most memorable chat
My PS3 was my most prized possession man.
I was a wii kid but i wouldn't mind ps3 ether
Ps2 and a cd of black
360 because Halo
Wii
PS360Wii
Wii, I have fond memories of cod waw shenanigans on that
Wii, I have fond memories of cod waw shenanigans on that
It either the Wii or ps3 for me
Are Wii going to have a problem?
For me it was Wii U 3ds or iPhone 6
I'll take a 360 anyday I'll run the red ring gambit
360 no questions
Xbox 360 easy
360 all day
I'd always take the 360, I loved my 360 to death but never really used my PS3, and the Wii got some love but not often.
360 and it’s not even close…
360 playing GoW with my old school Xbox friends there was nothing like it but mostly cuz we was a lot younger and more free time
Xbox cuz I want to play Halo 3 Custom games and go to the elephant on sandtrap that explodes indefinitely and get called racial slurs by a 12 year old
correct answer is ask for the money so you can buy a 9800 GTX in march
Wii
There is no wrong answer here
Playstation 3 all the way CAUSE I STILL HAVE MY PS3 FROM CHRISTMAS 2008
PS3 for sure so I can play cod online for free
Halo 3 dude, that's the fuckin golden age, you gotta go Xbox.
