I stopped playing Pokémon around Diamond and Pearl, so I'm not aware of what happens in the games after that.

In Mario & Luigi, I didn't press the buttons on purpose and leaving the characters struggling to show you how much coins you could be losing. However, if you indeed repeatedly mashed the buttons, the two brothers would leave the screen FAR MORE QUICKLY than the examples I recorded for the video.

And for the FF3 anecdote, this was just a dramatization to help you visualize. I didn't record what happened back then, unfortunately.


I'll be more than happy to hear your complaints in FF14 on the Moogle server on my character Baguette Cat.
