    I use the phrase codified. For example Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 didn’t invent fighting or exploring in 3D, but both established a baseline of what it should feel like.

    Pokemon took what SMT/Dragon Quest/Mother was putting down, simplified and refined the vibe and made it more accessible.
