History VideoGame / PowerProKunPocket8

* LookBehindYou: Fukiko attempts this on the protagonist if he [[HeKnowsTooMuch discovers the truth]] behind their organization. The obvious choice is to ignore Fukiko and then fight her in a top-down shooter minigame, but depending on your stats you can actually fall for it and then react in time by either injuring Fukiko or blasting the gun out of her hand.

''Power Pro-kun Pocket 8'' is a 2005 Baseball simulator + dating sim + ''VideoGame/{{Minesweeper}}'' developed by Pawapuro Productions, formerly Diamond Head, and published by Konami for the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS. The Baseball simulator engine has been changed again, and features a SpritePolygonMix with larger character sprites. Like in ''3'', the Inner Success is just a ''Minesweeper'' clone, but it does have a little storyline.

* OffModel: The protagonist in ''Showa Adventure'' is the same one from the previous game's ''Taisho Adventure''. The main menu depicts him with an AdventurerOutfit, but then you see the developers recycled Hero 8's standard baseball dude dialogue portraits for him. Similarly, the menu illustrations depict Hero 8 with a different outfit than the one he uses in the story's opening.

[[JustForFun/TheOneWith The One Where...]] you wonder "Do robots dream of electric Baseball"?

* ThinkOfTheCensors: In Somushi's scenario for ''Showa Adventure'', she talks about her family to Hero 7B and half of her dialogue is bleeped out when she goes over the circunstances or her birth. Yuda starts shouting [[BreakingTheFourthWall that]] ''[[BreakingTheFourthWall Power Pro-kun Pocket 8]]'' [[BreakingTheFourthWall will be cancelled]] at this rate, as if what she told them is worse than [[VideoGame/PowerProKunPocket6 the goat-fucking and executions two installments ago]]...

** This time game over screen for Pennant mode shows the protagonist lying on his face in the middle of a street.

* CreativeClosingCredits: The staff roll shows scenes from previous games, mainly featuring the Glasses Clan guys that starred in each of them. The final shot shows Hero 8 walking around a plain, and then cuts to a TheEnd illustration of him brandishing a bat and a gun.

** In ''Showa Adventure'', Kameda has a new Gundar Golem to cause trouble as usual... but it explodes on a minefield before we even see what it looks like.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The antagonist of the final chapter of ''Showa Adventure'' is a Saori-chan who seemingly appears as a normal person instead of a doll this time, though Yuda notes her mouth doesn't move when she talks.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Like the previous Saori-chans, the one in ''Showa Adventure'' has a normal-looking face instead of the chibi look of the other characters.

* SkillTree: There is a Study mechanic to complement the standard Training option. You must use a different kind of skill points on it and you must commit to a path on the tree. Choosing a different path of traits just wastes all your progress.

* BlackComedyRape: [[MachoCamp Seiji Onizame]] is still part of the Moles turned Hoppers staff, and if you befriend him too much you're [[DepravedHomosexual not going to like]] [[BadEnding what happens]]. Oh, and he can end up fucking the protagonist to death midway through the story too. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCOEzlmK6as Really.]]

Cyborgs and RidiculouslyHumanRobots have become commonplace in the ''Pawapoke'' setting. To regulate them there is the secret CCR police organization, and they have sent a certain agent "Hero 8" to investigate the Oogami Hoppers Baseball team (formely Moglars, from ''2'' and ''5'') which is suspected of hosting an illegal cyborg. But can he do it when he doesn't know the first thing about Baseball?

* DemotedToExtra: In ''6'', the crayon doll Horuhisu was a minor character and in ''7'' he was the TrueFinalBoss of ''Taisho Adventure''. From this game onwards, Horuhisu is reduced to making cameos on certain minigames.

* CreativeClosingCredits: The staff roll shows scenes from previous games, mainly showing the Glasses Clan guys that starred in each of them. The final shot shows Hero 8 walking around a plain, and then cuts to a TheEnd illustration of him brandishing a bat and a gun.

** The ''Minesweeper'' game is known to rarely spawn mines that are adjacent to 0-marked tiles. If the spin attack is used to clear away the surrounding tiles, the misplaced mines won't trigger.

** Clearing the story but failing all objectives makes Hero 8 leave both the CCR and Hoppers, resulting in the worst ending, the loss of the custom character and a game over that displays the "終" screen for one of the last times in the series.

* EndlessGame: ''Showa Adventure'' goes on for as long as you can endure. You can finish it from the shopkeeper menu after you clear 15 boards, but you need 25 to actually see a proper ending.

* GameBreakingBug: If you register over 60 characters the system breaks and it becomes impossible to either register new ones or even viewing epilogues after beating the Success mode. This forces players to completely reset the cartridge's data.
