69. Grand Bazaar
In to the 60's!
Also, I know I'm going at a quick pace (because 97 games is a lot to get through) so if you miss some, don't worry about commenting late even if the entry came up a long time ago
Grand Bazaar, as it is a Harvest Moon game, has a large emphasis on farming. But unlike other Harvest Moon games, this one also revolves around selling your hard work at the weekly bazaar and trying to drum up business for the town. As usual, you can get married and participate in events and festivals.
Like other Harvest Moon games, this game revolves largely around farming, with a dating sim aspect. There are four months, each representing a season, and seconds count as hours allowing the days to pass. By growing crops and tending to your animals, you'll have items to sell at the weekly Bazaar, which is where your income will come from. You can also woo the local ladies or gentlemen, depending on what gender you're playing, by giving them gifts and the like.
This Harvest Moon is a bit different from the other ones, but I really liked my little stall at the bazaar, and it had some of my favourite characters of the series, as well as some of my favourite playable characters. Everyone is so nice and friendly and the game is just some good lighthearted fun. It's so easy to lose hours on it but it's also very relaxing and not too serious.
Favourite character: Daisy 7H0bKTe.jpg
Honourable mention: Sherry wCs0ntr.jpg
I like Daisy and Sherry because they're both just sweet, good people. Daisy especially just has such a positive can do attitude and her curls are adorable. Sherry is very sweet and helpful to everyone.
I haven't played this one, but I do generally enjoy the series. The Bazaar system sounds interesting, and it makes me wonder if it was the inspiration for the little store minigame in Rune Factory 4.
As for Super Scribblenauts, I felt some of the rooms were incredibly restrictive in terms of how you can beat them, which worked to the detriment of the game. I mean, the fun of the system is in experimenting and playing around with the word system. But there are certain stars in rooms where you have to use particular combinations to fill in a series of rooms, and it can be so particular that it falls into the standard old school adventure game system of having an idea what the puzzle wants, but not what the specific solution is.
The puzzle type: "Put an object in the box! Use adjectives to make it similar to its neighbors!" I remember creating over forty different object combinations for one of those rooms before eventually abandoning the game and looking up the solution. I don't think I've gone back to the game since.
I really, really liked the open parts of the game where there was a star somewhere and you had to figure out a way to get to it. But the more restrictive "box" rooms just utterly killed the game for me, and I felt they were way too common.

Big up the Scribblenauts!
68. Pokepark
In this game, our hero Pikachu is separated from his friends and has to go rescue them by playing a series of mini-games in the different areas. Because that's how life works.
As I mentioned above, this game is basically a series of mini-games. One of the things you do is go around making friends with other Pokemon. You can do this by chasing them or by fighting them or other such things. And then you go to the attractions, which are different types of mini games. It ranges from swinging from rope to rope, to races, to flying through hoops, to sliding down some icy mountain. The player primarily plays as Pikachu, but in the attractions you'll have a variety of Pokemon to choose from.
This game is so much fun and it had so much to do. It did get a bit repetitive by the end, but its a fun game to just pick up and start playing and have fun doing those mini-games. Remember how I said I liked the mini-games the most in Pokemon Stadium? This is essentially a game full of them. They'll also give you quite an arm workout. There were some really pretty locations to. I haven't played the second one but I very much want to try it one day if it's anything like this one.
Pika Pik! This reminds me of "Hey you, Pikachu!" for the Nintendo 64. Only less mini games and more hanging out and talking to Pikachu in a mic.
67. Pokemon Diamond
I loved that game when I was little
This Pokemon game takes place in the region of Sinnoh. Like all the Pokemon RPG's, you go out and catch Pokemon and try to beat the Elite Four and become a Pokemon Master. Some other stuff happens I guess. I dunno, I was busy catching cute Pokemon.
First you pick your male or female hero, and then you get a choice of three starter Pokemon of grass, fire, or water type. The choices this time are between Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. I of course chose Piplup. Afterwards you go out and fight Pokemon to gain EXP, which will allow your Pokemon to get stronger, learn new skills, and maybe even evolve. You can also catch Pokemon by weakening them and throwing a Pokeball at them, after which you can name them and train them. Then you go around beating gym leaders and collecting gym badges, with the end goal of battling and defeating the elite four.
You've already heard part of this story. I wanted to play Pokemon games since forever and ever but life didn't let me until I lived on my own. Even when I was younger and had consoles, the man I was living with wouldn't get me a handheld because he said they were a waste of money and you couldn't see anything on that tiny screen anyway. Much sadness. But eventually I saved up and got myself a DS Lite and Pokemon Diamond. It was my first Pokemon RPG and I was super happy with it. I had stopped watching the show by that point so I didn't know who a lot of the Pokemon were, but that made it kind of special because every new Pokemon was a surprise! Overall I've had a lot of fun with Pokemon Diamond.
So I see you like Pokemon.
How much higher up the list is Platinum? Because it's quite a bit better than Diamond and Pearl.

I've heard it was better, though I never looked into the improvements it made; Pokemon Pearl is actually my favorite entry in the series and I might have to give Platinum another look if you say it is that much better.
Never played Platinum
Pika Park, while not even a game that makes a blip on my radar, is actually silly fun. It's little minigames are good for a group of people to goof around with when they're taking a break from something like fighting games.
66. Theatrhythm
Final Fantasy Theatrythm is about the heroes from different Final Fantasy games banding together to defeat Chaos in the name of Cosmos by... using music or whatever.
This is a rhythm game. There are three types of stages. You have battle music stages, field music stages, and event music stages. They each play slightly differently and are set to different Final Fantasy songs. Basically you will slide or tap your stylus in different ways as instructed. You can select different games from which to play the levels, or you can take a go at the Chaos Shrine and try to unlock characters more quickly.
I'd never played a rhythm game before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but my goodness did I ever play this game. I bought it to save for a road trip and ended up playing hours of it the night before. While some of it was difficult, I did eventually improve with some practice. I had so much fun that the sequel was one of my only first day purchases ever. I loved unlocking new characters, new levels, listening to the beautiful Final Fantasy music. Overall it was a really enjoyable experience and a fun little game to waste time on when you just want something more lighthearted.
I really like this game. Not a huge rhythm game fan, but I thought this game was great.

I didn't think it was a great game, but I played the everloving crap out of it.
