Earthbound

[Zero]

And Red/Blue partly leads to influence overall of the series.

Also what the intercourse ? Mother 3 has grinding? I agree that Mother/Earthbound Zero is poop (No I really do), Earthbound can tend to be a huge hit or miss, though most people I know get past a lot of combat by speeding it up on the emulator, and Mother 3 is easily the best in the series. It doesn't contain grinding, it contains a more likable plot/characters, more likable combat system (Abit poorly still compared to other great RPG's; "Matching yourself with the music" Was so half assed)

Regardless I still agree it gets more praise than it's worth, especially Earthbound. At least Mother 3 doesn't have a ridiculous amount of praise in comparison to it and Mother...Hell I'd go as far as saying it doesn't deserve any praise.

Yeah but who knows what they "assisted" with. For all we know they just advised them on basic role playing dynamics that everyone already knows. The fact that the Pokemon Ranger series is as bad as it is, to me, is proof enough of how crappy a developer they are.

I was mostly talking about Mother 1 and 2. I haven't played much of 3 because I have hardly any patience for emulators. I will agree that 3 seemed way better, but still isn't for me.
