Sequel is worse than the original

Streets of Rage 3

how come Swinub is so good but Piloswine is such trash?
Is he from the same gen as OP?

gen 2 had a shit movepool for most pokemon.
I did like night/day cycle. Made the game more realistic for lack of a better term.

only mamoswine, swinub and piloswine are from johto

>tfw no friends
>item evolve Pokemon were always out of reach

Crystal is somehow gorgeous 20 years later and being a GBC game

a lot of the pokemon were kind of a bore too. it feels like the Gens goodwill is carried entirely by like only 8 of them

Fuck you, Rhyperior is great.

If noctowl was made now it would just be a big hoot hoot

His ability would be a fuckton better if during his slow start phase, his DEF and SPDEF were raised significantly, and cutting the amount of turns it'd take for him to break out of Slow Start to be like 3 he's been out.

They should've been buffed when hidden abilities became a thing
And archeops starts are nowhere near broken

Gen 2 sucked dick compared to Gen 4.

gen 4's designs are fucking horrible. Garbage cross gen evos, shit tier babymon, bloated legendaries most of which look like shit, uninteresting regular pokemon. There are like maybe 10 good designs in the entire gen, only nostalgia can fluff up gen 4's shit

>only nostalgia can fluff up gen 4's shit
Having the special split, BF and a Vs. Seeker automatically make it better than the previous gens.

All pokemon games after Gen 5
Fuck Megas, fuck Fairies, fuck Z moves

Swinub and Piloswine are Generation II. Mamoswine and Rhyperior (pokemon in OP's pic) are both Generation IV.

Slaking's stats and movepool could've been pretty good if the ability wasn't so shit

It added more content to the vanilla game while not fixing any of it's flaws like the excess of cinematic cutscenes (it actually added even more) while also turning a one-note character into a literal navi clone from zelda

Fresh and In-Training Digimon make sense because they're pets that grow, but baby pokemon just make breeding a tad more tedious.

The only additions were some new moves, extra ultra beasts, a slight change in the Elite Four line-up, and the latter part of the story changed to accommodate Team Rainbow Rocket which diminished Lusamine's role. It did nothing to change the constant intrusive and grating cutscenes, and iirc it even added more. Despite changing next to nothing they charged full price and released two versions

I'm glad you stopped because most of those are shit. you didn't even name the best one, driftblim/bloom, horrid taste

I think Garchomp is fucking stupid looking.

>hating on Vespiquen
Shit taste

Don't even understand why magmar and electabuzz needed evolutions. Their designs in my opinion were some of the best and their stats weren't the worst.
Vespiquen sucks ass for being slow and having an awful typing but it's design is great

Magmar's design is fucking awful. Magmortar sucks too, but that doesn't make the original not awful.

I don't think he's right that they're horrible, but Gen 4 had a lot of really average designs. For some reason it felt like there were a lot less standout designs, good or bad, than the previous or succeeding gen.
There wasn't any that I thought wow that's fucking great like Reuniclus or Shedinja.
There wasn't any that I thought goddamn that's fucking awful (although to be fair there's only two designs that I think are genuinely fucking awful, mostly Volcanion though). There were few I even moderately disliked. It was the "eh. ok" gen.
I do like Yanmega a fair bit though, and I was rather endeared towards Regigigas because of the manga.

What a mistake

>spin off game based around a gimmick is better than the series that gained it notoriety
Fucking hell we need a Jungle Beat sequel. Doesn't even need a control scheme gimmick, I just want to conquer the jungle with my fists!

I like Froslass a lot and tried using her once but her stats are so fucking bad and her gimmick doesn't come close to making up for it. Why would they invent a more annoying way to evolve your pokemon into a worse evolution?

I remember when people used to shit on Gen 5's moving sprites, it's nice to see people started to like them after two gens of those lame models.
Although I do prefer 3D eelektross, probably one of the only ones I do, alongside maybe Hitmontop's little swingy dancing.

Well we haven't had a baby Pokémon introduced in 13 years so I think Gamefreak understood they were pointless.

>shitty sequel gets a remake that improves it somewhat

Attached: 284Masquerain.png (431x431, 82K)

even with that boost, the payoff would be mediocre
at the end of the slow start period the ability should for the rest of the match be transformed into huge power

I wish Masquerain was Bug/Water type

Why do they even bother with mythic pokemon anymore? Why do they just not include them in the base game rather than have them datamined or leaked for the lackluster shit they are?

B2W2 is the best out of that era, but play BW first, since if you couldn't tell B2W2 are sequels.

5 by far.
Bw2 especially is regarded as the peak of the franchise.

Gen 5 is the best in the series.

Sometimes they do.
Magearna is in every Gen 7 game, you just scan a QR.
But otherwise, Mythicals exist mostly for 3 reasons.

Meloetta, the final event Pokemon of Gen 5.
Released at the tail end of BW2's life (and that of the DS) during XY announcement hype time, Meloetta received considerably less promotion than other mythicals had. She didn't star in any movies but instead was relegated to the rather poorly received BW anime and a small short involving Pikachu, and was only released for a short period before going away in most international areas, until the year of mythical Pokemon in Gen 6, where all mythicals were rereleased over a year.
She has underwhelming stats, an underwhelming gimmick where she morphs into a dancer instead of a singer (Normal/Psychic->Normal/Fighting), and an underwhelming signature move.
Most famous on /vp/ for boogie fanart and sticking icing up her ass in his art or something.

I rather like it.

Sad as fuck, also his "art" is shit.

I don't particularly care about his art, I was meaning I like the Pokemon itself.

The plot of DMC1 was nothing special. Meanwhile the gameplay improved vastly with 3 which was the first game Itsuno really got the reigns of. Even the plot of 3 was far greater than that of 1. 4, while an unfinished mess, was still a really fun game and 5 is better than any DMC that came before it in terms of gameplay. Itsuno was the best thing to happen to the series.

All they need to do is give Arceops Skill Swap and he'd be great.

We don't even know that yet, they could just make it optional since there's no tacked on partner Pokémon.
