Why isn't there any mention of this game's similarity to the later Pokemon series of games? The encountering of creatures in grasses, and being able to run or fight them, the entrance into towns, two main types of buildings therein [Inns, to heal in, like pokecenters, and Marts, like pokemarts,] and even the character design were obviously strong influences on the Pokemon games for the Gameboy.

First, sign your talk posts. Second, because virtually EVERY console RPG has these features, so singling out Pokemon for mention is pretty pointless. Kouban 01:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hoimi

I have looked at many Japanese dictionaries, and have never once found one that had Hoimi in it. I believe that this is an incorrect rumor. SMimas 16:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

This is indeed a very incorrect rumor. Hoimi has indeed entered popular language, but nothing more. It is not an accepted word, nor does it means "heal" in Japanese. --Dez26 18:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
