So I've been contemplating getting into Earthbound and Mother 3 for ages now. I have Mother 3 sitting on my computer, but is Earthbound necessary to play for Mother 3 to make sense? Also, can you use VBA or KiGB for Earthbound if I find a ROM? I've heard from, like, tons of people that it's one of the best game series ever and I should pick it up, but I feel dumb and lost and just stick to playing almost every game in the pokemon series instead.
Mother 3 isn't connected to EarthBound much and can easily be played on its own, however, there are certain things in Mother 3 that have a connection with EarthBound so I would suggest playing EarthBound first if you can.
EarthBound was for SNES though so in other to play a ROM you'll need an SNES emulator. Unless you get a ROM of the Mother 1 + 2 pack that was released for the GBA in Japan, but then you'll need to find one that's translated.
And yes, EarthBound is a great series I would suggest to anyone. And I'm not even a big RPG fan. I've beaten EarthBound (Mother 2) and Mother 3. I've tried to play Mother 1 because I really want to, but the game hasn't aged very well making it less enjoyable. Maybe someday, though.
