Let's get this show on the road.
...
Wow, I don't remember half this shit.
Last good gen before they turned pokémon in fucking monster gods creators of universe and all that fucking bullshit
I forgot how much of a shitty sea clusterfuck Hoenn was, not as bad as Johnto, but still bad
...
Hoenn is the closest we’ll get to a vice city in pokemon
look at all that empty space.....even on land
Should change the fug to ‘Fun’
>gen 3
>boring AND piss easy
>good
No, they shouldn't.
>Hoenn
oh god no
yeah your taste is fucking horrible, sorry. Probably you are a Sinnoh baby, or Unova embryo
Gen 3 was when I stopped giving a shit. Aggron was cool though.
Damn shame fug didn't make it to Ultimate. They could have updated the fight to include megafug
I think I fucking lost my GBASP and Emerald cartridge and I hate myself for it.
Back to school underaged
I never got this meme, it was never even bad, soundtrack is kino
OBJECTIVE RANKING
1 > 3 > 2 > the rest lmao who gives a fuck
They really could have done so much more. There's so much shit like the mountains and lakes they could have used.
Too much water
'least it was until Groudon and Kyogre fucked everything up
but this game was exactly the first one where there was a climatic event that was threatening to destroy the world
>Sinnoh baby, or Unova embryo
All those are better than Gen 3 tho.
Only pokemon gen 1-4 are good. Prove me wrong
>people born in the same year as gen 3 will be 18 in 2020
>Prove me wrong
BW2
>TRUMPETS GOOD
>SINNOH BAD
All the versions are to damn easy. We need one that is actually hard as fuck.
>monster gods creators of universe and all that fucking bullshit
you mean like having the ability to evaporate the entire ocean or increase sea levels overnight?
Why are Gen3cucks such retards?
>Night never comes
>You can't sleep
>Die of sleep deprivation
... home.
I liked 3 for the soundtrack but I didn't like the 85 percent of the Pokemon. I like gen 5's Pokemon more. I liked gen 4s hm slave region more. Gen 6 did nothing right and didn't get a chance to fix anything
Man, Ruby is my favorite pokemon game, I prefer it over Red and Gold. Diamond sucked so much compared to it, I dropped Pokemon completely after beating it.
Based fugposter
I feel like the combat is too simple to make a really hard game with it in a satisfying way, but imposing handicaps like using only pokemon of one type the entire game is a pretty fun way to increase the difficulty.
I'm almost 23. I started with red/crystal. I loved gen 3. I don't get the meme that everyone is a certain age if they liked a game.
>Kyoger threating to litteraly drown the world overnight
>no godmons
Hmmm it was the first one to do that
You were so close. Gen 1-5 are good Pokemon games. After Pokemon leaped to 3D it lost it's charm and developers got lazier.
The game is almost old enough to post here itself....
May is 10x better than Dawn
Just like real life
Haha hahhahahahhahahaha
Emerald top pokymans
Fucking retard, imagine youtube.com
hoenn was really that big? I should replay emerald. What's the best way
No one Pokemon generation is "the" one that fucked up. Its been a compilation of fuck ups over time. Gen 3 introduced god mons and villains with grand schemes, 4 ramped that shit up, 5 gave us shitty ass rotating sprites and simplified the dungeons beyond recognition, 6 was just flat out piss easy and hand holdy, and 7 eschewed all remaining player engagement for a basic ass experience where we collect pokemon in piss easy tubes with no side content, puzzles, or exploration.
This is why Gen 2 is the best. Not because it was the most refined. But because it had compromised the least from the series' original vision.
finally an user that fucking gets it
I fucking hate how the power of legendaries became so literal rather than just folklore. Platinum at 2x speed is still my favorite game though.
If we go by the movies Mewtwo was about to Katrina the kanto region, and Lugia kept the weather from plaguing humans like a biblical hellstorm of fire, ice, and lightning.
Best setting don’t @ me
>This is why Gen 2 is the best. Not because it was the most refined.
lol
this user fucks thicc black girls
@Anonymous (you)
>"Boring and easy"
>Has one of the hardest elite four in the franchise
Sure man
Actually too much water. It isn't a meme.
>dont @ me
Is there any website the twitter generation hasn't taken over?
Oh I think the only movie I saw was the 2000 one with slowking
Is this BW2? I don't remember half that shit. Fuck they must have added some content over the originals.
>move rain dance exists
>pokemon devoted to making it rain a whole hell of a lot
>move sunny day exists
>pokemon devoted to making it painfully sunny
This is a natural evolution. It certainly set the tone for the gen 4 legends, but you can't pretend that that's the same as creating the universe.
>>Has one of the hardest elite four in the franchise
lol what? It's the easiest in the GBA series. FRLG had the hardest E4 of that era.
Too bad we dont get to fight the REAL og final boss: prof. Oak
>This is why Gen 2 is the best.
It sin't the best anything, everything it has done has been done better by other games (Gen 4/5).
no
twitter is the new Yea Forums
I just started playing this game. I got torchic bros. I've been stomping everything so far at first gym.
I want to get swallow and wondering what I should do. Are the berries helpful?
Does it bother anybody else how there are rocks blocking ships and there are no roads for cars.
That's XY
I have to agree. Gold/Silver felt to me like it'd be the last "really good one" after Ruby/Sapphire.
I would say though that Black/White did a great job recapturing the original Red/Blue magic for me. Not seeing any returning Pokemon through the whole adventure was exhilarating.
You just level it up, berries are mainly for healing up and stuff, just plant them or keep them on you
Gen 2 is the best. It improved over 1 by more leaps and bounds than anything to come out ever since.
Why they never replaced the phone with the Vs Seeker I'll never know.
Never played that zoomer shite so must be why.
Is it worth buying a gbaSP charger to play crystal and ruby? where do I even get one from these days?
>It improved over 1 by more leaps and bounds than anything to come out ever since.
>4 gives us the Special Split
>5 gives us infinite TMs
>unova
>XY
??
tbqh you may as well emulate unless you want to trade stuff. And you'd get a fake chink one off ebay or pay $50 (I assume) for a legit one.
Don't listen to that user
That's BW2
Least it was fo' I fucked errthang up...
Literally how
Twitter is filled with e-celeb garbage and an army of liberals demonizing you if you say the "wrong" thing in their eyes
I don't get why Yea Forums mods consider this hyper-sensitive website to be based while posting screencaps from a gaming IM like discord gives you an auto-ban, even if its relevant to the discussion
For the longest time I thought those dumb robot things in that movie were Pokemon
I'm so confused
>fake chink one
on a scale of 1-10, how "On Fire" will my house be after using it?
>Gen 2 is the best.
>worst pokemon distribution
>worst rival
>worst villains
>most boring region
FUG
At least it was until I fucked everything up
Based Fug.
>Not a single San Andreas reference in the first 30 posts
Nothing but fucking zoomers anymore
Fuck off. I'm tired of bitching about the shitty games.
Gen 3 and gen 5 are my favorites.
Pokemon fucking sucks lol.
BW is the GTA4 of pokemon, BW2 is the GTA SA of pokemon.
The game that killed Pokemania.
Never tried GBA chargers but I've got cheap micro USB cables that haven't burst into flames yet.
"@ me" applies to discord as well.
also viewing twitter as one site/community is a stupid idea, it's more like an ocean with several sub-communities. vapid, uninteresting, rich furries are a bigger and more common problem for discussion than liberals.
>Gen 2 is the best because it was bad, but I personally agree with its """vision"""
Also
>Ho-Oh
>Not a "god mon"
Retard
Man IGN were right, too much water.
or at least it was until ORAS fucked everythang up
ALL I EVER WANTED WAS TO PICK APART THE DAY
She's an asshole but at least she has nice tits.
this song is so good
Nintendo was obsessed with water at that time between this, Wind Waker, and Mario Sunshine.
Most of the early 2000's media was obsessed with water and beaches.
wrong. 2 > 1 > 3 > rest
KANTOOOOOOOOO
You have to love Hoennbabbies trying to act like their game is OG Pokemon. Yall will never be part of Pokemania. Fuck off.
It's funny how this became a meme. I actually did remember it bugged the crap out of me as a kid on how the map was 50% water, the amount of Tentacools and Swimmer trainers you just get sick of
Actually it's more of the early 90s media due to baywatch taking over television
I'll be honest, anons.
Gen 3 was the best-designed generation of Pokemon as a whole. The main games were all great, the spinoffs were fantastic, even the anime was decent at the time. It's so fucking good that I went and made a living dex just a month ago, and I'm considering doing it again.
The early 2000's was an extension of the 90's anyway.
No, everything changed in 2001.
Does anyone have the original Fug image?
*2007
2007 was when major changes started taking place.
Maybe it's because of that retarded kid whose name escapes me know, but I can't stand any of the Hoenn anime. Even as a kid I just stopped watching after Season 5 ended.
True, it did feel like around 2005 everything about our culture started to change
>>Ho-Oh
>>Not a "god mon"
>Retard
I like that you point out the retarded thought processes that got us where we are with god mons. Not being able to see a line between "powerful, old pokemon people revered as a god-like spirit" and "lmao this nigga's Jesus" is what dragged this series into its DBZ levels of canon power creep.
Ho-oh was a kami. Kyogre is a Greek god. Knowing the difference should be a pretty basic fucking task.
I would say at the time of 06-07, but 05 did give us a warning sign.
>around 2005
I always thought it was around 2007/8 what with Obama and the recession.
Wrong, and retarded.
I need to catch up on this manga. Last series I read was the BW1 one years ago
That was the second change. Things were very different once Bush was in office and 9/11 happened.
Just skip straight to the XY arc. The Unova saga is on hiatus, though it's coming back this month. Either way it's going to be a long time before it's finished.
>Wah wah wah
I'll just do my victory dance now
Yvonne is so perfect.
Makes sense, it was noticable that the mangaka was going to eventually get his schedule tied when he was working on Platinum, HGSS, and BW1 at the same time.
Smartphones are really what did it. Suddenly every retard had a voice on the net
You got a point there, still love this episode, the fucking music is great; youtube.com
where's the full size?
Zoomer
>Suddenly every retard had a voice on the net
God, the late 2000s were full of retards like that.
>Is based on new York City
>Ground zero is a desert
And yet, Sinnoh was the best region
Battle Frontier, bitch
megafug in smash when?
emerald doesn't count
>don’t @ me
die nigger
>3/5 of the world map is water
Amazing
The absolute best.
This, comfy as region with many biomes while Johto only had the Ecruteak Town. Unova rivals it thanks to the small towns and Castelia City.
I like the johto feel and music best but damn is it small
>Videogames can't be discussed on a video game board
Fuck off
/vp/ is containment for the anime and cards and shit
>Groudon can set the sky on fire and set off every volcano just by being awake
>Kyogre can turn Earth into fucking Neptune with screaming winds and nonstop storms that never end
>the stones that wake them up are in the care of 2 old people who run a cemetary
>rather than a locked box on the moon with no key
I guess Hoenn just doesn't care about anything
First Gen to straight up remove a lot of features from the previous games and make large amounts of Pokémon completely unobtainable until Colosseum/XD and FR/LG came out
retard
Well the idea is that half the routes are land and the other half is water. Land and sea. The only problem is that all the water routes look the same and there's nothing in them
Fair enough, you can stay as long as you keep it vidya
Manga discussion is allowed since it stays more true to the game's canon than the anime
The problem with the water areas is that they're glorified caves with a swapped palette and all the Pokemon that show up are Wingull and Tentacool.
holy shit did rayquaza just murdered that girl? the fuck is going on in the manga?
>count the Hoenn routes
>16 land routes and 16 sea routes
That's actually kind of cool. Still don't like the water routes though
The objectively best designed region.
Pokemon Adventures is pretty edgy in general. iirc Red's Charmeleon slices some dude's Arbok right in half early on. Really worth a read.
>best designed region.
>all that water that could've been used to house more islands
imo Hoenn would be significantly improved by removing Wingull and Tentacool from the sea routes. There's enough water Pokemon by gen 3 to give every sea area a different encounter pool, it's baffling that they left it as it is.
She's still alive, but crippled.
Green's Charmeleon. Also the Arbok can regenerate so it's fine.
>All these babys crying about the difficulty of pokemon
>While pokemon PRO has been out for years
Also to differentiate their look? Maybe make one a reef? An archipelago? Something to break up the endless blue
This thread had me looking for my Alpha Sapphire, too bad they didnt remake Emerald
1, 2 and sometimes 3.
h-haha...
Ho-oh is completely optional though. Kyogre and Groudon are the main focus of the story. Those are hardly comparable
Gen 2 > Gen 4 > Gen 1 > Gen 3 > The rest of the bullshit.
Good joke. It actually goes:
>Gen 4 = 5 > The rest of the bullshit.
then stop playing a RPG made for 8 year olds retard
nice bait
Sorry dude, but it's the truth. Gen 3 and previous don't come close to what is offered by Platinum and BW2.
>there are people in this thread who claim to love Hoenn and love gen 3, yet they never got a Milotic in RSE
Its not too late Yea Forums, you can still correct your mistakes.
Caught Pokerus in this shit and managed to keep the disease up until at least HGSS, maybe even up to BW. Shit, my saves are probably all still there.
>you will never check every tile of the river listening to this for the first time again

Don't you talk shit about Silver. He mah boi.
>Feebas-hunting
miss me with that gay shit
Thank you, fug

Mareep master race
I plan to once I start my next emerald run.
5>3>2>1>>>7>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Good luck! 5 encounters per tile worked for me as a system.
Didnt they make Feebas easier to find in ORAS? Or did I just get lucky with the one I found
I hate how ORAS ruined the region with all the loading zones.
The wide ocean areas around Mossdeep and Sootopolis in paticular got gutted so badly.
Do maps like these exist for xy or sungay yet?
Unova in bw2 was the best map
Bro just bring sunscreen and a floatie lmao
>literally just a circle
Try again.
>warp digivolve
get that shit out of here
Fug is in ultimate man, Kalos Pokemon League stage hazard
>feebas hunting
Nooo thenks
she looks like she fucks african american men.
From the last FUG thread:
youtube.com
still mad that they took out the day-night cycle
there was no technological justification for that except possibly the original GBA's screen, and even then all they had to do was make night a lightish blue hue + yellow windows rather than actually making things darker and harder to see. even if it looked like 5-6pm at midnight it would be better than having it constantly sunny.
somene spoonfeed me the fug meme
>>literally just a circle
Didn't stop it from having the best pokemon distribution or biomes.
in the german translation rather than having flying type pokemon show as "flug" they typo'd it to "fug"
based
Gen 3 was peak comfy of the series. Secret bases, and just the overall environment, graphics, and sound effects were spectacular.
Fuck me, this region is really ugly when you lay it out like that.
>Sinnoh was peak comfy of the series.
ftfy
wrong
Hoenn and Sinnoh are where I wanna live, they have the comfy feel of a bunch of small villages without any major metropolises

No I'm right. Comfy snow and beaches > tentacools and wingalls
Try Farmer’s Only
>Destroy the world
>Waterworld vs madmax
No, dialgia and palkia threatened the existence of the universe while Groudon and Kyogre would've made one of those movies but with Pokemon.
besides the lack of quality the whole gen had sinnoh is by far the least comfy with its mud and fog.
or am i just taking the bait
How the fuck is humanity still a thing in this world? Why haven't they been wiped out by electric rats?
the reigon itself is one of the worst parts of gen 3.
The music is the only part of gen 3 i remember fondly.
Absolutely fucking based
Thank you, Fug.
Please make this happen. It's not fair.
it was the first one to have much higher stakes but it wasn't world ending.
also the narrative was interwoven with the story of the legendaries and teams unlike other gens which feel much more shoehorned ie sinnoh
>the lack of quality
?
>it was the first one to have much higher stakes but it wasn't world ending.
general slowness of the game, add on top the mud fog and snow.
add on top the accuracy drop from fog along side all the HMs needed and the back tracking.
along with the bad pacing of the story and the whole game is just a huge slog.
I don't want to bring up anything else caus i dont want this to be a sinnoh hate thread I just think this is the gens biggest detractor
Are we ever going to get truly mysterious Pokemon again?
>unlike other gens which feel much more shoehorned ie sinnoh
Other way around retard, Team Magma and Aqua were complete retards, Cyrus was man with the mission.
>played gen 1 a bit but was too young to understand whats going on because of language barrier

>clock in 500+ hours trying to train different pokes to beat battle tower with pokemons that arent iv/ev optimized and have shit move sets
man i love hoenn no matter what
playing omega ruby for the first time i had to wipe my eyes very 5 minutes because i was nostalgia tripping so hard
GOD BLESS HOENN!
>lets add new pokemon but you cant catch them until the games over
>lets make a split path but the game doesnt scale around it, leading to an exp void
>lets make 90% of those new pokemon pastel coloured animals
>lets make all the new gym leaders bland or only memorable for being frustrating
>lets reuse the elite four
Nah, gotta play it as safe and appeal as widespread as possible.
Imagine how terrible things will get if the new games perform worse than Let's Go.
what is this video supposed to prove?
during the Hoenn disaster not even the entire region is affected only the surrounding areas, it definitely wasn't a world ending ordeal
I thought the ultra beasts were going to give that old regi feel again
>I thought the ultra beasts were going to give that old regi feel again
lmao nope
Instead, "hey kids it's time to catch all the aliens!"
>general slowness of the game, add on top the mud fog and snow.
Nothing wrong with the snow and mud, fog is overblown since it's stuck to one route.
>add on top the accuracy drop from fog along side all the HMs needed and the back tracking.
Again, overblown and the only bad HMs are strength, rock smash and climb all of which can be applied to biberal. Cut is option entirely and Surf/Waterfall are GOAT.
>along with the bad pacing of the story and the whole game is just a huge slog.
Sounds more a you problem considering this isn't anymore different than R/S/E.
>it definitely wasn't a world ending ordeal
What happens in one part of the world will definitely affect another part of the world, thank fuck Fug was there to stop or else the world would've drown/dried up.
Didn't that Sword Shield leak talk about armored evolutions and flygon gets one
while I do think cyrus had a stronger character than archie or maxie, together they made a new team dynamic and we hadn't seen anything similar until aether/skull
team galactic as a whole was extremely generic and nonsensical, it didn't feel like cyrus was actually in charge or telling anybody what to do
[citation needed]
Only source on that is a one-off Yea Forums post that clickbait sites ran with.
>Implying Yea Forums is for video games
>With the plague of E-celeb threads that janitors turn a blind eye to
Your new is showing.
>. Cut is option entirely
Only after cutting down the trees in Eterna and the forest.
>it didn't feel like cyrus was actually in charge or telling anybody what to do
didn't play the post game where they literally fall apart after Cyrus leaves
>nothing wrong
>overblown
>sounds like a you problem
all of these things slow the game down considerably despite it already being the slowest games in the entire series.
it's sinnoh's biggest issue and I'm glad there are people like yourself who aren't bothered by it but its a severe problem for anyone who has played any other pokemon game
>before they turned pokémon in fucking monster gods
the legendaries literally controlled Oceans, Continents and the Ozone Layer, what the fuck are you talking about
Well yeah, it was leak post that got everything so far right.
when you think about it, the fact that some random pokemon has the ability to summon the sun or clouds is fucking absurd
again not even the whole region was affected, you could fly to safety fairly easy.
I mean sure if you just decided to never solve the problem theoretically it could be an issue but its a big difference from a world threatening disaster
wow gen 3 truly was a signal of the end
rival teams were out to destroy the world and you were the chosen one tm
story revolved around legendaries and world ending bullshit instead of being a local hero who proved their worth
cutscenes are centered around rival and both of your growths
>but its a severe problem for anyone who has played any other pokemon game
Bro, you knew well what you were getting yourself into. Even in SM they kept the HM but in name.
Handicaps, or boosting the opponents or region in some way when you enter it. There's a lot of ideas.
Even a dedicated hard mode that did some of these things would be great, and avoid the problem of making the game too hard for the super beginners that Gamefreak wants so much.
But given how little they're able to accomplish with each new entry, I suspect it would be too much work. Looking back, I'm still shocked at the amount of content in pokemon gold, and am confident that Iwata or someone else no longer there had to push hard for it.
>but its a big difference from a world threatening disaster
It is a fucking world threatening disaster, you've seen how fucked up earthquakes and tsunamis/hurricanes/floods can get, imagine the effect on the world should either Groudon or Kyorge win over the other.
you are fucking crazy.
sinnoh was amazing and a great peak to the series.
i can't even fucking play it without wanting to tear up at how perfect of an ending it was for my pokemon obsession.
both Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion had entire underwater levels as well
based
B/W are my favorite games but I'm not the biggest fan of Unova. It's the beginning of Pokémon regions looking like theme park maps rather than lived-in worlds. I also don't like how the prominent center of the region is exclusively for a feature I literally never used.
Gen 3 was the best one but unironically had too much water.Gen 4 had the best pokemon and gym battles
the only game that's comparable to the poor pacing of sinnoh is alola but for completely different reasons.
I'd rather be missing attacks in the fog than mashing A hoping to god this fucking tutorial ends soon
I'm playing platinum currently, but i'm not enjoying it as much as i thought i would, there are some things i really don't like about it.
>but its a big difference from a world threatening disaster
Motherfucker Groudon LITERALLY SETS THE SKY ON FUCKING FIRE
>the poor pacing of sinnoh
You keep saying this but never even give an explanation when Platinum was one of the more open games.
*for the first time
Oh boy, wait till HGSS, it gets worse.
I really don't like this change. The harsh drought Groudon causes in the original Ruby is much more subtle and unnerving than the atmosphere itself burning. youtube.com
>>>/globalrule12/
This is giving me a headache.
>It's the beginning of Pokémon regions looking like theme park maps rather than lived-in worlds.
>first game where the region is inspired by something not from Japan
Agreed. They really took that aspect of the games too far for my liking, turning them into caricatures of the original.
nobody here was talking about ORAS
read the thread.
if I go into more detail this will become just another sinnoh hate thread and I'm trying to avoid that.
explain
>Virbank fucking City
>rainy port city fit with music club and located next to a industrial complex
Soul and comfy that eclipses previous gens
Yeah on the original games the Drought was just a drought. The sun was intensified and it was more like a suffocating heat on a particularly hot day. It wasn't going to kill everybody but it would irrevocably change the environment and make survival difficult.
In Omega Ruby Groudon brought a literal apocalypse. Everybody on the East side of Hoenn should be dead and the rest of the planet should be right behind them.
>if I go into more detail this will become just another sinnoh hate thread
Stop being a wuss and speak your mind.
I really need to play B/W2. It's been something I've meant to do for like a year. But I first gotta beat romhacks of the first ones. And before that I gotta decide black or white. And before that I wanna beat the pokemon red romhack I have. And before that I gotta decide my kanto team. This series brings out my autism I swear.
I left vp for a reason
every single time anyone made a thread about any region that isn't sinnoh it becomes a sinnoh shit thread where we all talk about how bad it is for one fucking troll.
I'm not saying you're trolling but I am honestly sick and tired of talking about how much I dislike the same game over and over.
if you really want to know why sinnoh is so bad just make your own thread over there, they bite bait like no tomorrow
pokemon clover is the best pokemon game
Great song. Great meme.
I never played Gen 3+ because by then I didn't care enough to buy a GBA.
Wuss
This. Genwunners just need something to pick at.
Diamond and Pearl are ass
Platinum saved Sinnoh
>E-sports players
>E-celebs that make videogame content
I mean, it sort of counts
>This is why Gen 2 is the best
the regis and deoxys were so cool and mysterious
this is new pokemon's greatest sin.
cutting up the map was the most soulless decision
Platinum had some much needed QoL fixes but HGSS really saved generation 4
>hardest in the series
maybe if you only level your starter, otherwise, no - beat them first try
>Platinum had some much needed QoL fixes but HGSS really saved generation 4
Lol other way around retard. All HGSS was the automatic running shoes.
What a projecting faggot.
is this a meme?
HGSS actually utilized the bottom screen of the DS
the watch idea was good but damn was the implementation shit, even with an extra button
t. KANTOOOOOOOOOOO
>HGSS actually utilized the bottom screen of the DS
So did Platinum with the Underground and the now defunct Wifi plaza. Anyway it's Platinum having the VS SEEKER which automatically puts it over HGSS.
Ray-quay-zah or Ray-quahzah?
Gen 5 is the best in terms of music
>Lacunosa is the best town theme
>Colress is the best battle theme
>Route 10 is the best route theme
This post basically boils down to "Gen 2 is the best only if you focus on the negatives and ignore the improvements made on future gens".
plat utilized the bottom screen during certain occasions, not throughout the game. thats a huge downgrade
the vs seeker is nifty but it's no pokenav.
plus calling for rematches has way more charm and world building. I'm sure they just wanted to keep that feeling from the original GSC remakes
>the vs seeker is nifty but it's no pokenav.
>plus calling for rematches has way more charm and world building
Imagine thinking that waiting on certain days, on certain times just for a rematch is better than running up and down and using the Vs. Seeker. You probably thought the dojo was better than the Battleground too.
Gen 1 and 2 had the best rivals. When they turned the rivals into your gay ass friends that‘s when it went to shit.
Yes, but the VS Seeker is objectively a far more convenient way to grind than waiting for calls
Ho-oh and Lugia were these old ass mysterious Pokemon that people thought were mythical because they were so powerful and rare. Kyogre and Groudon were literal gods, and Dialga, Palkia, and Arceus straight up bend time space and the universe
I'll give you Blue, but Silver was an edgy little bitch.
Gen 2 is the last good gen, hell it's when this shitty thing was supposed to end
At least you still hated Silver
The best version of Silver was in Gen 4 anyways.
>feebas
get fucked
What's the difference?
Hoenn is the comfiest region and i won't be convinced otherwise
>At least you still hated Silver
Had more fun beating the likes of Cheren.
I don't know how your rival in R/B got memed into this complete douchebag that pops out of nowhere to battle you when you're at your weakest.
Silph Co, and the final battle are the only times he could possibly catch you by surprise.
He's got an backstory... only accessible through an event.
Heartgold/Soulsilver is the perfect pokemon game, there's no reason to play any other.
>there's no reason to play any other
Vs. Seeker, faggot.

Nugget bridge right after the cave. Also, he was a douche, did you read any lf his dialogue?
It's not just the Giovanni thing. His characterization and growth was more well defined. Before in GSC he was pretty one note with his muh power spiel.
That only happens if you walk past the pokemon center and out the north side of town.
And his dialogue is super harmless, the worst he says is that he's going to make your pokemon faint, people can't handle any level of banter.
by that logic you should only play RSE/ORAS cause pokenav

The mud and fog and snow actually makes the region more interesting. Even after you've played the games for hundreds of hours, there are still areas that you've barely been and explored, which makes the game feel more mysterious and longer lasting. When you've played the games for so long, and it feels like you've done everything, you still have the mud, snow and fog routes to go to, which you've probably stayed away from until then. It gives you another piece of exploration and the excitement of visiting areas you don't or barely remember, even after all that time.
>the lack of quality the whole gen had
user, gen 4 is the first time the game actually felt like they functioned as they should
Vs. Seeker gives reassurance that you will have rematch with whomever provided its outside while the Pokenav has the player at the mercy of the game and they run back and forth out of a area and hope the npcs will rematch.
I see what you're saying and its great that your imagination can help play a role in your adventure the way pokemon was intended.
if there were collectibles like maybe snow shoes or some kind of way to prepare for these environments then yeah backtracking to explore them would feel deserved as you get past what would've previously been annoying.
but these areas are more for slowing down the game further to increase play time instead of being niche places to explore
this is hilarious, the games run slower than the original RBY
you sound like an autist that battles the same npc over and over again in the same spot, nothing should be geared toward that kind of playstyle
>this is hilarious, the games run slower than the original RBY
and yet, RBY did not have physical/special split so half the roster was just shit, because they couldn't use their STAB moves properly
>nothing should be geared toward that kind of playstyle
It's better then grinding out the ass on like HGSS and RSE.
I'm playing through Ruby right now! My team is Blaziken, Gardevoir, Manetric and Pelipper.
>genwars
obviously the original game has issues I'm talking about this stupid phrase someone shit out
>gen 4 is the first time the game actually felt like they functioned as they should
this is a crock load of shit and deserves to be mocked especially if the original games run better years before it's release
Fun is a buzzword when you're trying to argue objectivity.
>the games run slower than the original RBY
Only saving, plus I'll take that over not having the split like
nigga you basic

Gen 4 did everything the originals did and much more.

>this is a crock load of shit and deserves to be mocked especially if the original games run better years before it's release
how come the battle system was broken and barely functional for the first 3 gens, then?
I just went through the catalog. There is not a single eceleb thread up right now.
Remember that time Chansey was the 3rd best Special Attacker behind Mewtwo and Alakazam?
remember when a Tauros spamming Blizzard was terrifying?
The first time I did it took me all day. Then when I replayed Emerald I got a Feebas within the first five minutes it made me lose my mind.
>genwars
can you give it up?
im not comparing the entirety of the games stop deflecting.
the fact is sinnoh runs extremely slow and all the games that came before and afterwards run 10x better.
now if you want to start some genwars about anything else go right ahead but nothing will compare to the shit dripping pace that was the sinnoh region
Honestly figuring out the right nature and making pokeblocks good enough to evolve it is harder than actually finding the feebas itself.
I like the pokeblock minigame but it's a piece of shit if you actually care about making GOOD pokeblocks. I think I ended up waiting for that pokeblock guru NPC to appear and just letting him make perfect pokeblocks for me.
I got my first shiny (Magikarp) Trying to get a Feebas. It was Gen 3 too so it's the only gen where a legit shiny Magikarp is still cool. I think I evolved it but I hope I didn't transfer it to gen 4.
>shit dripping pace
You're just being a bitch and overblowing it.
I go for Female cause it's weird otherwise. But they are kind of rare so if I get a Male I settle and just name it Tranny instead of Titty.
Daily reminder that crystal is the ONLY pokemon game worth a play and anyone who tells you otherwise is an autistic retard
Do you at least try for a good nature?
it's sinnoh's most glaring issue, but its great that you can look past it.
I'm looking forward to the inevitable remakes to hopefully save the region
Sinnoh was boring as fuck, an absolute bitch to get around in due to way too many HMs, and was pretty much just a frozen shithole. Hoenn is leagues better in every single conceivable way.

Thanks for the joke, have some water.
No because I don't want to sit in one area forever. I don't care about natures or abilities on my playthrough Pokemon. I can't control their IVs either so why should I care?
Watery tropical regions are fun as fuck, diving was kino. Much better than trudging around in shitty snow at a snail's pace.
>diving was kino
what the fuck am I reading
THANK YOU, Fug
You're welcome, have 8 (e i g h t) HMs and autistic OC fanfiction legendaries.
>HGSS
>Worse
The fuck you on m8? it was the height of the franchise
I wish I could do that. IVs are annoying but no seeing them lets me ignore them but natures and abilities are obvious and thus force me to stay put until I can get one that is good.
>shit level curve
>shit pokemon distribution
>johto is small and boring
>kanto still has fuck all to do in it
HG/SS are trash overrated by boomers
I just forced myself to not care or just hack them later. For a casual playthrough I don't mind the randomness. But in any competetive or serious setting where I want to win I will obviously want to have more control.
>height of the franchise
>starters have been fucked by the split

A decade and they still fucked up.
Sorry Hoenncuck but it's the truth. Better pokemon, biomes, music and post game. So enjoy your water.
To be fair, G/S/C were dogshit titles to begin with. They didn't have much to work with.
Truth is, the Pokemon series didn't actually get good until the soft reboot in Gen 3. Gen 1 and 2 were bad games that rode off of fad hype.
Bugbros
At least it was until Game Freak fucked everything up
>Better pokemon
Fucking bidoof. A bunch of shitty prevos and evos nobody asked for. Pokemon that rival Gen 2 in sheer literally whodom. Gen 4 had a shit pokemon roster.
>biomes
Cold snowy regions are shit in real life and they're shit in games too.
>music
Utterly forgettable, trumpets > that shitty attempt at electric guitar
>and post game
Emerald's Frontier remains the best in the series.
I can't forgive Hoenn for creating Surskit and then have it evolve into the abomination that is Masquerain.
Gen 4 was slow as hell for no reason
>Fucking bidoof
bidoof is the best HMslave in the entire series.
>Pokemon that rival Gen 2 in sheer literally whodom.
In comparison to May/Brandon who never do shit? Please Barry pulled his weight around and had a decent team.
>Emerald's Frontier remains the best in the series.
Nah Platinum made it good, Emerald was a fucking slog to get through.
Luckily we have good water bug mons now.
You misread the post, I said the Pokemon roster is was full of literally whos. On the subject of rivals, Wally is much better than that ADHD faggot Barry, he actually had meaningful character growth.
>he actually had meaningful character growth.
Lel no, he's a little bitch the whole way through. Barry actually shat on for his autism by the other characters which is nice.
as for the pokemon, nah. They were pretty good and weren't held back by special bullshittery like Gen 3.
Whhich gen has the best ost?
3 due to Colosseum
Gen 5
>Lel no, he's a little bitch the whole way through.
t. zoomer retard who never even played/completed the game
>They're at least 30 now
Bros...
Lel I finished Ruby and Emerald, he's still a bitch.
I'm glad that they can chill now but it makes me wonder who Kanto's champion is now. What do Champions even do? Like Lance goes hopping around the region putting down crime syndicates, while Steven does basically nothing, and Alder is a literal hobo who never comes to work
Steven collects stones. It's his hobby, don't discriminate.
You're going to have to define what you mean because Wally started as a sickly, frail boy who could do nothing to bring able to make it to Victory Road on his own
Why do sixth gen Nintendo games have that most insufferable fans?
Hoenn Pokemon, Melee, Sunshine and Wind Waker.
Hoenn is the best because Colosseum and Gale of Darkness.
>They were 10 in 1996
Memes aside yeah they're probably at least 30
Gen 2 > Gen 3 > Gen 5 > Gen 1 > Gen 7 > Gen 4 > Gen 6
Glad I don't have taste this gay.
Its the most like Miami I guess
>Game Freak will never admit Stealth Rock was a bad idea and remove it from the games
>t. Charizard
The problem with Stealth Rock is that it's the only entry hazard that accounts for type effectiveness. It hurts less than Spikes if you're a rock or steel. And even though it sharply punishes Flying that's probably because Flying isn't affected by Spikes whatsoever. Toxic or otherwise.
Most memorable was the post game where you go to all those ruins for the legendaries. Going to cheatplanet to find out how to get the regis. That was really fun.
I loved that Route
I never thought about that, it does make sense
after all these years still the best route
Hated that route
too much water
I have my old SP and Sapphire but I lost that goofy proprietary charging cable
>regions based on Japan have non-linear progression, paths crossing over eachother, revisiting older towns
>regions outside Japan are straight lines, going from one attraction to the next
They fucked up when they started making regions based on places they aren't intimately familiar with
We're inevitably going to get a Gen 4 remake for the Switch. What are your hopes for it?
i hope it isn't as terrible as XY/LGPE/SM/USUM/SWSH
Which end does each guy get though?
Does anyone know that song that played on that rainy route? It was such a good heartfelt song, I remember leaving my DS opening and listening to it while I layed in bed when I was young. It had bagpipes I think and it was grand and BEAUTIFUL. Help me out here
why the fuck are IVs still a thing, their removal wouldnt hurt anyone and make teambuilding much faster
they fuck each other and the girl watches
originally people weren't supposed to know about them, and they were just there to make each individual pokemon unique. People soon worked out how to game the system and gamefreak just embraced it for some reason
> >453850687
>*ahem*
if we're taking spin-off games and remakes into account, then gen 4 is well above and beyond every other gen
gen 4 is too slow
Teaches kids about the virtues of eugenics.
you could argue that's the fault of the technology, not the game
and that only applies to d/p/pt
all those random patterns in the trees for no reason, near the berry place
Cold and snowy can be good in games and can be good in real life. Depends on where they put the focus.
Agree that the music is mostly forgettable, that was an issue I had with it back then too.
And yeah, there are many boring, forgettable pokemon. It has too few new pokemon that aren't related to anything else.
It does, however, also have enough memorable pokemon and interesting pokemon. My biggest issue is the large number of babies and evos, giving a low number of new pokemon in total, however the pokemon that do exist aren't really any bad, aside from the decline in overall design quality since generation 1.
it could be the technology but there are other pokemon games that run perfectly on the DS
>that only applies to d/p/pt
normally when people are talking shit about gen 4 it's sinnoh, not all the games
>normally when people are talking shit about gen 4 it's sinnoh, not all the games
so my initial point still stands, yes?
I like gen 3 cause you can dive in the ocean and it looked really spoooky and finding the Regis made me feel like a real explorer which I never got from any other Pokemon game
yeah it was definitely the best in terms of exploration
This was my first Pokémon game, I wish I hadn't been poor and played the red/blue when they came out.
>dude here have a shitty water route of low level pokemon in late game
it was fucking awful
It's supposed to emulate life
If you go to the ocean you're not encountering sharks each and every time
You see the low level shit and than once in a while you see something cool
That's how real exploration works
to keep competitive pokemon full of elitist hackers
its a fucking pokemon game
real life doesn't matter
people hate on gen2 for having a shit level curve but its literally the same garbage in gen3 with the shitty water routes
Life is more like swimming in an ocean of shit
I'm typically a Pokemon fandom outsider but Jesus, this thread is just pure autism, almost Metroidfag and FEfag tier autism.
Thank you Fug
how the fuck do some of you think hoen had better exploration. sinnoh's whole fucking map felt like a living breathing world, hoen really didn't have the same kind of interactions in comparison.
OG Hoenn too much fucking water and the worst pokemon generation with ugly fuckers.
Remake Hoenn the best gameplay and end game content in the series. Still the ugliest pokemon introduced in the series up this point an amazing feat.
Sword and Shield looks to finally surpass OG versions in shit pokemon AND shit gameplay damn.
Just started B/W2 (Blaze Black 2) what am I in for?
>tracing the route you follow through the game
>all those interconnecting loops back from areas that were inaccessible the first time you reach them

>yes you stupid fucking dipshit I want to get in the water
>mash A like a fucking madman because the menus in pokemon feel like molasses
that's hoenn in a nutshell, fuck water, that shit was insufferable
What anime does this come from?
I finally found it, the post so bad that it makes me quit coming to pokemon threads forever. Thank you user for I am released. Have this wonderful image as a thank you.

>no more secret bases
SOULLESS
They sure are.
The problem with Hoenn's water routes isn't that they are water routes, it's that some moron decided to fill them with nothing but tentacool and winggull. The only way you can find anything else on those routes is by fishing, which is okay in theory but in most of those areas there's really nothing all that rare to fish in the first place. So they should have had Wailmer and Sharpedo on those late-game ocean routes, not the same three junk common pokemon over and over again.
Platinum was the absolute peak of Pokemon you mouthbreathing retard
>3rd last game before the series turned into kawaii desu shillmons and furfag bait
Ftfy
La creatura...
daytonaaa
let's go away
Replace gen 1 with 5 and you'd be right
My mind is full of thoughts after seeing again this precious map, but I'll write down the most important one: we will ever see a Pokémon game where the map where every single inch is explorable? Just see this one, you can walk only in maybe 10 % of it. Look that huge-ass forest near the beginning of the game, so much wasted space. Gen 3 is excused, but why the hell in most recent games we can't explore everything like Gta San Andreas 15 years ago? In the remake we can fly everywhere but it's not what I'm talking about
Never, as long as GameFreak continues to get away with less than quality products that will always sell like hotcakes.
THANK YOU Fug
Imagine playing a game with a map/world that hideously shaped.
Sky pillar is in the wrong location.
>trying to Nuzlocke Gold
>everything has trash fire movesets with no decent moves until 50+

>elemental stones other than sun stone are also only in postgame
>even some new gen 2 pokes are only in Kanto
>wild pokes are 20+ levels behind the curve by lategame
ended up going back to hoenn
gen 2 is such a fucking shitshow if you don't just overlevel your starter to cruise through everything
even gen 1 at least provided good TMs in a timely manner
BW2 exist
>hoennfag complains about using HMs
119 is the best.
>Infinite TMs
Woop de doo. Truly revolutionary(tm)
It really is, now we don't have to keep the good items in the bags forever and grind for the shit pokemon to get better moves. Another reason Gen 5 is better than 2.
alright boys, I'm going to go play emerald.
It does make TMs relevant in the story mode. You can actually use them and improve your pokemon.
It's not something Gamefreak deserves any praise for, though. Because it should have been there at the very latest in 3rd gen. So it's just even more proof to show how incompetent they are that it took until 5th generation before it was fixed.
>. Because it should have been there at the very latest in 3rd gen
They were saving up it for a GOOD gen. Hence why BW got it first.

Hey Yea Forums I need one good wholesome pokemon adventure, as long as I can play it on my 3ds or switch.
Which one should I play?
>Got it from my twitter
But that's not Sachiel. I think you're projecting.
Platinum or BW/2. BW for the comfy story adventure, BW2 for the freedom.
you really know how to be a small brain don't ya

What I really want is more Regional variants
Don't worry we're getting armored mewtwo and probably armored [gen 1 pokemon] for swoosh
Sharing bases with your friends was so kino, you'd always feel connected even when they weren't around. And then when you met back up you'd get to see their updated base.
you think they'd be all over that, people love it and it's easy to do the design is already there. it's a fucking goldmine
Yeah but the happiness evolution helps with that.
Breezing thru with Espeon and Crobat is ezlife
>probably armored
Fuck ye-
> [gen 1 pokemon] for swoosh
Why does Game Freak do this? It creates a brand new region with brand-new moves in celebration of Pokemon moving forward just to give all the good stuff to the first generation. Did Generations 2 through 5 not happen?
Do you have down syndrome or something?, serious question.
How do you look at the post numbers "37242539" and "453867313" and think:
>Yeah, this was posted on Yea Forums over 2 months ago.
Just get a 3ds emulator and play a full dex version of Platinum, HGSS, BW, and BW 2. Everything after the DS era is not worth your time.
>3ds
DS*
3DS era is trash.
> Egyptian xatu never
I never saw the dick before
Gamefreak and most of the fanbase that aren't the unovabortion cabal want to forget that gen 5 happened, outside of some of the good mon designs.
