The most iconic moment in gaming

[winb83]

This is one of those you had to be there when it happened moments. I didn't see it coming either. Unless you played both games and didn't know in advance this will lose all its impact.

Spoiler: Yeah its Pokémon

Nah....
When we talk about iconic I have to go with:

The final boss battle in Super Metroid

Pulling the master sword for the first time in Zelda Link to the past

The final boss fight in Metal Gear Solid and all the dialogue leading up to it and even during the battle

Discovering that you were actually the bad guy the entire time in Star Wars KOTOR

[Take It In Blood]

 

[Human Torch]

Might not rank all time but personally.
I’ll never forget the first time I came across a berserker on GOW. The graphics, the tenseness, everything.

Or finding out Samus is a woman in Metroid.
Or Sephiroth killing Aerith in FFVII.
Or the Psycho Mantis fight in MGS.
Or fighting Tyson in Punch-Out.
There are many more moments more iconic than anything from Pokemon.

just a couple of mines

 

[Doomsday]

The shot heard around the world in FFVII

The intro of Metal Gear Solid when you land on Shadow Moses Island...doesn’t get more. Iconic than that.

This guy says pokemon

I cant stop laughing


Nothing can touch sephiroth killing that girl in ff7. Changed the entire atmosphere of a legendary epic game. And you knew about it beforehand, everybody had that game, didnt matter if u played rpgs or not, if u had a playstation u had that game. Still didnt change how powerful of a moment it was.

This lil jit said pokemon
