Retards: >OMG MODERN POKEMON IS SO BAD BECAUSE IT'S TOO EASY MUH EXP SHARE AND MUH KANTO PANDERING -_-
Also Retards: >OMG HG/SS BEST GEN EVER DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOUR POKEMON ARE CONSTANTLY 20 LEVELS HIGHER THAN EVERYONE'S ELSE'S AND WTF ZOMG YOU CAN GO TO KANNTTOOOOOOOOOO?!?!??
The games peaked with the 2.5D style of Pokemon Black and White for me. Everything went to shit after they started going full on 3D.
Benjamin Wilson
Recently retards have taken to finding every little callback to kanto in recent games as a major offense against them. Not sure what about is so offensive, but if a pokemon from kanro even so much as shows up like Mewtwo did in XY. It's Kanto Pandering and a crime afainst nature.

>DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOUR POKEMON ARE CONSTANTLY 20 LEVELS HIGHER THAN EVERYONE'S ELSE'S I wouldn't say constantly, but this only happens during the 3 hour Kanto portion for the run of the mill throwaway trainers

There's literally no reason for Charizard and Mewtwo to be the only two pokemon with two mega evolutions.

>>OMG HG/SS BEST GEN EVER DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOUR POKEMON ARE CONSTANTLY 20 LEVELS HIGHER THAN EVERYONE'S ELSE'S AND WTF ZOMG YOU CAN GO TO KANNTTOOOOOOOOOO?!?!?? Why are Johtofags cool with letting their region get cucked by Kanto?
Ryder Phillips
I get the feeling that a lot of judgement is based on the starters given at glance
like not just for the impact I feel Gen one is most popular since it pretty much has the best starters overall
but anyways like I was one that thought B/W was going to be shit since the starters looked lame as fuck to me and still think so, dewott aside, is ashame samurott is not as cool but whatever, but my respect went up for game seeing more pokemons of it I love like Scrafty, Golurk and Hydreigon, is ashame that vanille got more attention since is easy to shit on
and here I am having 0 interest in the new pokemon with these shitty alien looking starters
Jordan Wilson
that's like saying why are emeraldfags cool with letting their region get cucked by the battle frontier it's a neat post game, that's it.
Gold and Silver were intended as direct sequels, so it makes sense that Kanto is a big part of those games. Regions like Kalos meanwhile have no connection to Kanto other than the gen 1 pokemon and/or references that the game shoves down your throat at every turn
Brayden Cooper
>it's a neat post game, that's it. >level curve is because of Kanto >the shit distribution of Johtomons is because of Kanto The two biggest flaws of Gen 2 come from Kanto leeching off Johto. And there’s fuck nothing to do in Kanto other fight.
Jackson Clark
>beat the lvl 33 average 7th gym leader >finish the dreadful team rocket arc >all of their Pokémon are around level 27 >all of a sudden levels jump massively Not fun. HG/SS are okay but not the best and it took a replay to realize this
Evan Sanchez
Except that people talk more about Hoenn than they do Johto. Whenever praise for GSC and HGSS are mentioned, almost none of it actually is towards the region of Johto.
David Gomez
can't remember his name, but aside from the s.oymouth shit he's pretty boring.
Cooper Gutierrez
It's funny how wrong you are. Kanto pandering comes from the fact that Kalos and Alola barely have an identity of their own because they're too busy fellating a region that's as far away from it as possible. At least Johto had an excuse by being directly linked to it in a literal sense.
Jose Morgan
But GSC aren’t sequels otherwise it would’ve been a BW2 scenario.
Lucas Price
the level curve is literally a meme though I'm currently playing through heart gold. I beat the elite 4 with this team at these levels. there's only a level curve problem if you brute force the game with only one pokemon, or if you fight every single wild encounter, and if you do either of those you don't expect the game to conform to your play style. the distribution is bad. there's no reason for there to be johto pokemon that aren't available in johto. hgss made it a bit better by putting some of them in the safari zone, but that's just a bandaid I just don't see that at all. a valid argument would be that most of johto's praise comes from it being comfy more so than from any gameplay aspects, although even then there are a lot of johto pokemon that people really like
>the level curve is literally a meme It’s not when just about every fanmod of Gen 2 seems to get rid of it. Plus fighting the Rocket Boss and his low leveled trash team isn’t fun compared to taking out Giovanni in FRLG.
David Stewart
Take out HGSS and replace it with Platinum because Platinum actually fixed the issues of DP instead of repeating them.

Heck, lots of people complain about the lack of Johto Pokemon in Johto in the first place to the point where it is a common error for people to believe Skarmory and Slugma are Gen 3 Pokemon.
Nathaniel Perez
Fixing the worst games in the series just makes it ok, it's not above HGSS
But BW1 are handled better in every other way
Noah Gomez
Actually read the difference instead of being of a retard, retard.
Benjamin Bailey

HG/SS had the Pokewalker which made the game far more enjoyable. While BW2 were far superior, the Dream World shit was... well, shit.
Brayden Brooks

Samuel Powell
It is considering HGSS doesn’t fix the core issues of the original GSC titles while Platinum did while also being better in the same categories Gen 2 failed.

Dylan Taylor

Dylan Green
You seriously need to start lurking more, like holy shit. Take a weekend at /vp/ if you have to.
Aspects of Kanto have been the forefront of Pokemon for a decade. Shit like Unova recreations, constant Red appearances, gen 1 pokemon making up most of megas in xy, area recreations in gens 6 and 7, all alolan forms being of Kanto mons, Lillie and Gladion "going to Kanto", Brock and Misty episodes in the anime, Let's Go's entire existence...
It's gotten so obnoxious that a lot of fans are just sick of seeing Kanto and Gen 1 mons in general.
Andrew Russell
Seething. Lmao. Didn’t even mention the new pokemon or the battleground or the BF.
Noah White
>Shit like Unova recreations Unova has the better Pokemon designs.
Dominic Diaz
No shit, but the majority are designed concepts from gen 1
Jose Butler
>instead of fixing the real issues the games suffer from, they went full damage control by ripping off hoenn's battle frontier
cope harder
Landon Powell
gen 1, its pokemon, characters, etc. are more widely recognizable among most people. Because of this, Gamefreak makes more callbacks to gen 1 than other gens and this upsets some people to a great length.
Hudson Ross
*redesigned Sorry, bad brain
Adrian Morris
>ripping off hoenn's battle frontier Actually, they made it better by getting rid of the dumb gimmicks. And people liked enough to port Platinum’s BF to Johto make up for a lack of anything to do in Johto. Plus Platinum’s biggest issue was the save issue but that was GF ineptness.
Lucas Scott
Because genwunners suck, catering to them = mistake
Easton Sullivan
No, you should strive to create a fresh experience for players. There's literally nothing wrong with making new ideas and throwing in some gen 1 mons for route filler. Gamefreak are hacks and stagnating their own franchise.
Nolan Nguyen

HGSS had the most side content out of any pokemon game. What are you talking about?
It's got: -an expansive Safari Zone -gym rematches with 16 gym leaders -optional events and legendary encounters -pokewalker shit -bug catching contest -entirety of Mt. Silver -aforementioned BF
Lincoln Roberts
>HG SS would be the best even without kanto Don't kid yourself. Jotho is as barebines as it get without the kanto nostalgia trip carrying it
Brayden Gonzalez
Johto is comfy and full of side-content
Jaxon Rivera
>full of side-content Like what?
Lincoln Bailey
gen 2 and by extension hgss are so overrated it's insane. I can't even remember anything about johto expect the slowpokes and the tower. I'm 100% sure that love for it comes from nostalgia
Brayden Hernandez
I'm honestly just tired of Kanto at this point. I kind of liked having new generations of players be introduced to new generations of Pokemon, but now they're even making their new players into gen1 nostalgiafags.
Dylan Butler

Gavin Powell
I hate that I've been realizing lately that HGSS actually aren't that fun compared to the games that came out directly before and after it. I really don't like how easy HGSS are, and how underleveled every wild Pokemon and trainer are.
Oliver Price
The side content isn't bad for the quantity either. You just want to believe HGSS is barebones, when that was only the case with GSC.
Colton Parker
dont forget about the shot-for-shot remake of the first movie in 3D, but with a different Armored Mewtwo design to shill the gimmick of Gen 8.
Luis Barnes
>gym rematches with 16 gym leaders BW2 did this aspect better, giving you FORTY gym leaders and six champions to battle + Red.
Gavin Clark
BW2 is good too, but its postgame and sidecontent ends at exploring the rest of Unova, join avenue, and movie shit.
Noah Fisher
All of those things got added in later on in HGSS and hakf of those things are in kanto. Hell the BF is just a copy paste of Plat's BF.
Dylan Moore
youre mum is a dog, that's my wife

People who eat GF's current-gen trash get offended when you say Kanto and Johto are the best regions
Jason Cook
And Black Tower/White Treehollow, the PWT, rematching the Elite Four, fighting Cheren and Bianca, fighting Alder, and catching all of the legendaries. Sure, you get to explore Kanto in HGSS, but aside from the gyms, what do you actually get to do?
Caleb Rivera

Blake Gonzalez

Pokemon are fucking gay. How is there even a reasonable discussion amongst adult men to ever be expected here?

Christian Hill
Kalos has an identity if its own easily. I'll give you Alola only because all the Alola forms of pokemon are gen 1, even though it's identify as poke hawaii is completley different, but Kalos is as seperate as can be. How come no one complains about fucking Looker having an extended fucking role in EVERY SINGLE game since. Maybe not in hg/ss though. I wish fucking Brock from Kanto showed up in every fucking game. Then maybe the claims of kanto pandering might just begin to have some merit.
Easton King

>Johto is less linear Mate, it’s the opposite considering how much the game stops until you deal with TR. Biggest examples of the game stopping you dead in your tracks is when you beat the Ice gym and can’t travel to the last gym leader because the fag selling candybars wants me to explore.
Jaxson Kelly
The revamped exp share from gen 6 up is a legitimate problem, over leveling the player so hard that it removes all semblance of challenge. When you're twenty levels above the elite 4 champion without grinding, that's a problem.
Yes, I know it can be turned off. You can also play the game using your feet to add extra challenge, but nobody's going to do that either.
Nathaniel Phillips
I dont have nostalgia glasses because i didnt play the originals or played the remakes when i was a kid, but you have to consider the time they were launched not how they do now

Jeremiah Lee

Jonathan Moore
There’s no shame in that user. GF really dropped the ball after Platinum hit the ball out of the park with the Battleground and the VS. Seeker.
Thomas Reed
personally I just regurgitate whatever criticism someone has for a game on here regardless of its validity to give the illusion that i've played it.
John Foster
Alolan forms was the last straw for me considering they deliberately limited their potential for Kanto shit
Jose Russell
Yeah the vs seeker is much better than the phone You still have to wait a lot, and call every trainer to rematch them so you can beat red without using some extreme measures like x items or a single overleveled starter Although if you use traded pokemon you can quickly beat the Eliter 4 after some grinding in Mt Silver
Dominic Sanders
don't even try to sound clever retard as you as you reach Ecruteak you're free to wander from left to right and fight the four gym leaders before clair at your own order, something that you can't do in newer gens like SM or BW, that's why the levels are so low because GF is too lazy to implement level scaling
>implement level scaling That shit killed Fallout, we don’t need that in Pokemon.
Jace Walker
The biggest problem with gen 2, this includes the remakes, is complete lack of pokemon diversity. Compared to almost every game, the diversity is SHIT. When I play soul silver or heart gold, I get the drayano rom hacks for those games as they are a MUST because they increase poke diversity an insane amount and give access to all kinds of pokes. If it wasnt for that problem they would indeed be the best in the series but its such a huge problem it holds them back.
Henry Cooper
I dont understand whats hard to get? I only like things that remind me of my youth. Only gen 1 and gen 2 do that. I dont like new things.
Samuel Cox
Just grind in Cerulean Cave or, if you have another DS, transfer your team to Platinum for training.
Andrew Smith
It’s not just the diversity, Gen 2 Pokemon not Scizor or T-Tar have pretty awful stats and learnsets even in Gen IV.
Jonathan Taylor
glad you accepted yourself for what you are user better than either having lvl 20-30 mons almost at the end of the game or completely gating the player from everything with roadblocks, Pokemon isn't a big bethesda title anyway
Dominic Flores
You don’t need level scaling, you just need to progressively have stronger wild pokemon/ trainers as the game progresses. A Vs.Seeker wouldn’t hurt HGSS either.
Luke Fisher
Generation I = Star Wars (A New Hope) Generation II = The Empire Strikes Back Generation VI and VII = The Force Awakens, Rogue One, Solo
You expect II to be a sequel to I, but by the late entries, you really don't need to constantly be referencing the defining works. It panders to nostalgia and makes everything in the world gravitate around the beginning when the beginning was great because it was a new refreshing concept and you didn't know what to expect. It's as exciting as a live-action Disney remake. It's like they have no confidence in making their new stuff stick so they just keep milking a dead cow.
Julian Hall
there would be literally nothing wrong with level scaling in pokemon if you have 4 badges then the next gym leader will have 3 pokemon in their 30s or 4 in their upper 20s. if you have 5 badges then the next gym leader will have 3 pokemon around level 40 or 4 in their mid 40s. it's really not hard to do hell they could even make wild pokemon scale a bit and the explanation for why there'd be fully evolved bird pokemon in their route 1 equivalent could be that all evolutions of a species live in groups together, and the stronger pokemon come out when stronger trainers appear to protect the weaker pokemon of the flock.
John Taylor
>you just need to progressively have stronger wild pokemon/ trainers as the game progresses isn't that what scaling is? Unless you mean them handcrafting each individual gym leader/area based on how many badges you have
Eli Flores
Then why not Johto (Chubu/Kansai/Shikoku), Hoenn (Kyushu), or Sinnoh (Hokkaido)? Why just Kanto (Chubu/Kanto)?
Lincoln Lee
>Unless you mean them handcrafting each individual gym leader/area based on how many badges you have It’s better to have handcrafted instead, because if you level scale it, the game will tie to your level, there will never be any sort of difficulty because everything will be equal.
Ayden Evans
Gen1=Gen2>Gen3>Gen5>Gen8>Gen7>Gen4
Lets be real, gen1-3 has the best mons. Anything 4 and after are dogshit except a few, they have only managed to stay alive this long thanks to the Kanto pandering.
Kantofags are cancer, we could've gotten more BW-tier kinos had it not been for them.
Jackson Nguyen
>we will never get another Pokémon game directed by Satoshi Tajiri Why do so many smoothbrains think that the director of a franchise can leave and it'll keep the same soul and intent? There's a reason that Gold and Silver were the only generations to be a logical improvement in every way on the previous games, and that's that they had the same mind at the head. Every game since has just been a numbskull trying to figure out what made the first two generations work.
>Every game since has just been a numbskull trying to figure out what made the first two generations work. oooh, I bet you'd be pissed if I told you they do, but they just don't give a shit because the games will sell 15 million copies either way. Because that's the truth. Masuda admitted during an interview that he and his team are completely aware of what the fans want, they just ignore most of the pleas to do what they feel like.
Logan Smith
friendship and affection it's the main message of the entire series, so why not go all the fucking way with it
Luke Jones
Gen 5 definitely got closer than any of the other generations, but I wouldn't say that it was 100% there. The game never felt like you were on your own adventure, it forced you into the "epic and cool" story more than any game before it.

Not really. The majority of Gen V Pokémon had crappy designs and the ones with good designs were found late in the game. I filled my team up with Dreamworld Pokémon as soon as I could because the designs were so bad.

Connor Gray
I had fun once doing a themed nuzlocke run with some custom rules. Focused on Poison types and had a tool that replaced the starter with my favorite poisonmon then the first route had 3 others I wanted. These central 4 I would never replace if they died and I would only have a 5th/6th if i stumbled upon another poison type in a route. No duplicates even of different evolutions. It puts you in a place of strategy and somewhat impossible situations pending your favored type and the generation you're playing. Just avoid letting yourself fall into the trap of "I can just grind 10 levels and be done" and try to figure something out.
Blake Price
I don't understand this thread.
