The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Pokémon Throwback is a vanilla quality-of-life enhancement decompilation hack of Pokémon FireRed. Pokémon Throwback aims to add as many QoL features as possible from the more recent games while looking and feeling just like vanilla FireRed and maintaining compatibility with the official games. Features include: catching all 251 Pokémon of generations 1 & 2, reusable TMs, battle difficulty, decapitalization, and much more!
