YMMV / Power Pro-kun Pocket 6

---

• Crosses the Line Twice:
  • In Hapiness Island you can spend a turn resting to recover health, with some better options being available at a price. Watching a porn video is one thing, but the next option is to spend time with what's heavily implied to be a sex doll patterned after Shiori Fujisaki from Konami's own Tokimeki Memorial. The last one is spending time with Masako, a goat. Not only does the game go out of its way to make the protagonist and the goat emote as if suggesting The Immodest Orgasm, but picking this option enough times makes the goat fall in love with the protagonist. He then decides to stay in the island with her during the epilogue, with an oddly sickly appearance as he calls her "Masako-san" as if she was his spouse. In a 2022 interview with Denfaminicogamer, one of the developers stated the one line he didn't cross was inserting a slide of a box of tissues being used in those situations, so he put the Relax-o-Vision shot of a grassy field instead.
  • The aforementioned "Saori-chan No. 2" from "Mekimeki R" life-size doll is the one version of the character that actually resembles Shiori Fujisaki and is distinguished by having a... detailed open mouth. Egawa, the leader of the baseball team in Happiness Island, can sometimes be found using the doll and loudly beating her up while pretending she is Reika, the cabaret girl who was the cause of his financial ruin. In short, just depicting a sex doll parody of such an emblematic character from your own company in an all-ages game isn't enough; you've got to portray domestic abuse on it too!
  • The other "love interest" in Happiness Island other than the goat is Helga, the Big Bad. However, the only thing that befriending her does is letting you see the seconds before she is executed by a firing squad in any of the good endings. Hysterically edgy.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Konami took legal action against erotic fanworks of the Tokimeki Memorial series just for their own Pawapuro Productions team to imply in this game's story that the inmates of Happiness Island regularly relieve themselves to a life-size doll of Shiori Fujisaki.
• Memetic Mutation: Masako the goat is often referred to as the actual Love Interest of Happiness Island. And yes, even official media has joked about that.
• Player Punch:
  • Choosing to leave to the future in the main story is worth more points, but unlocks an epilogue with the protagonist regretting leaving his friends behind. To rub salt in the wound, each love interest has a bad ending where they're left despairing over his disappearance.
  • The game lets you see the moments before Helga's execution by firing squad only if you had befriended her through the story and saw that, if anything, she was a Well-Intentioned Extremist. Otherwise, the protagonist treats her with scorn during their last conversation and that scene isn't unlocked.
• Scrappy Mechanic: What's more annoying: having to clear the game 3 times to get the second story scenario or clearing it once but having to forfeit the character you raised and the chance to see the ending you got to earn enough points for buying the thing at the shop?
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: The idea of being forced to spend over three months working under threat of death for a nazi knockoff army that is performing human experiments isn't so Played for Laughs in this cartoony game. And then there's all the sexual innuendo stuff involving things like a sex doll and a goat. It still got an All Ages rating in Japan anyway, as did all the other Pawapoke installments. As the series went on, the CERO-A rating became a meme among players and was repeatedly discussed by Japanese game news when the Nintendo Switch remake of the first two games had its rating bumped to a B to prevent as much censorship as possible.
