Back when Pokemon first came out, I saw it at E3 that year and remember reading about how it was picking up speed in Japan.  I saw how they were going to market Pokemon in the US and I knew it would be big.  I requested to my editor that I cover all Pokemon games, and he was like, 'sure, whatever.'  So when the game came out, I was reviewing Pokemon games and events left and right.  I like to say that Pokemon helped pay my way through college.

I played the original Blue version to death.  I did get the GBA remake, but I didn't complete it like I did the original.  Actually I haven't finished any of the Pokemon games besides the original, because they're kind of all the same, really.  And to answer your question, the first RPGs I ever played were Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy on the NES, but the first RPG I truly got into was FF2 (FF4) on the Super NES.  And I bet this won't be the only Pokemon game we see on your list.

Never saw Maze Runner but the title did sound like Pac-Man.

Breathed graduated from the same college as I did.

I liked Minish Cap, but I felt it was too short.  I think I beat it in a weekend.  My favorite Zelda game is Link's Awakening.  Have you played that one?

I don't have any interest in playing these games either, but the lore behind them sure is interesting.

You never used a crock pot?  We use ours all the time.  Made tonight's dinner with it, actually.  I also make my annual company Christmas party weenies in it, too.

You got carded because you've been training so much that you must look way younger than in your 40's!

Super Mario RPG is a great game.  I played it to death back in the day.  It's not as good as Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, though.  I'd like to try Fantasy Life, but I don't have the time.  Can't play 'em all, you know?

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is the best Mario RPG ever.  It's a shame Sticker Star was so bad.  But yeah, GameCube Paper Mario was brilliant.  It never got slow or dull, and the script had some of the most clever writing in any video game I played.  I loved the crows' conversations in the trees, and Luigi in the game was just a parody on how nonsensical the story was. 

I got all the achievements in one of the Sam & Max games on the 360.  Fuzzy Tacos is good.

I never beat Majora's Mask back in the day, but I did get to the end.  I just stopped playing because Banjo-Tooie came along and distracted me.
