kanto pandering is bad and they should just forget kanto exists at this point, and the games are too easy

the problem with hgss is that you are underleveled before the elite 4 and overleveld after it

Kanto pandering? Explain.

I just wish they'd remove gen 2 from existence
By far the bleakest designs of all gens

HG SS would be the best even without kanto, it being there just makes it better.

Weak bait, cope.

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.

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

>muh level curve meme
what kind of retard fights every single wild encounter after they've beaten the first or second gym? you'll be on an equal leveling (or even be slightly underleveled) compared to gym leaders if you use a full team and don't fight every wild encounter

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

Why are Johtofags cool with letting their region get cucked by Kanto?

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

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.

Attached: 1534032013562.png (724x610, 165K)

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

>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.

>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

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.

can't remember his name, but aside from the s.oymouth shit he's pretty boring.

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.

But GSC aren’t sequels otherwise it would’ve been a BW2 scenario.

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.

Take out HGSS and replace it with Platinum because Platinum actually fixed the issues of DP instead of repeating them.

>although even then there are a lot of johto pokemon that people really like
Yes, but that has nothing to do with the actual region design itself. 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.

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

Actually read the difference instead of being of a retard, retard.

>grown men still playing and discussing pokemon

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

/vp/ literally ruined the very concept of having legitimate Pokemon discussion with their obsessive hate towards gens 1 and 2

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.

oh yes, how could i forget, they made it so you can SCROLL FASTER THROUGH YOUR BAG?!?!?!?

who cares. retard.

>/vp/ literally ruined the very concept of having legitimate Pokemon discussion with their obsessive hate towards every gen
fixed. sometimes I wonder if /vp/ even likes Pokemon, or just sticks with it due to be lonely, failed people.

>grown men still playing and discussing video games

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.

Seething. Lmao. Didn’t even mention the new pokemon or the battleground or the BF.

>Shit like Unova recreations
Unova has the better Pokemon designs.

No shit, but the majority are designed concepts from gen 1

>instead of fixing the real issues the games suffer from, they went full damage control by ripping off hoenn's battle frontier

cope harder

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.

*redesigned
Sorry, bad brain

>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.

Because genwunners suck, catering to them = mistake

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.

>grown

the last two regions have barely even qualified as their own regions. they're glorified guided tours of kanto nostalgia.

I rather listen to those than the ones that attack other games while defending Emerald's Rayquaza.

/vp/ hates 6 and 7 more than they do 1 and 2, shut up.

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

>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

Johto is comfy and full of side-content

>full of side-content
Like what?

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

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.

Refer to

>most side content

>gym rematches with 16 gym leaders
Botched thanks to the phone gimmick requiring you wait on them instead of going the Battleground route.

They pretty much have removed it.
>Almost no GSC mons in gen3 without trading or owning multiple games.
>Gen 4 they were pretty non existent until HGSS came out. Unless you pal park.
>Gen 5 removes everything.

Also pokeathlon and game corner

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.

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.

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.

>gym rematches with 16 gym leaders
BW2 did this aspect better, giving you FORTY gym leaders and six champions to battle + Red.

BW2 is good too, but its postgame and sidecontent ends at exploring the rest of Unova, join avenue, and movie shit.

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.

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

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?

If you can only formulate the opinions of "retards" with shouting greentext then you probably can't actually deconstruct their arguments.

I'm starting to think Kanto is to the Pokémon world, what America is to our world.
In the sense that everyone not from there can't seem to shut the fuck up about the place.

>he was the lonely loser who didn’t have friends to trade with on the comfy weekends
Lel, get fucked.

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.

Actually Unova is the America of Pokemon, meaning Unovachads nuked Kanto, Johto and Hoenn.

when you take off the /vp/ gen one hate goggles and actually think about it logically, alola having a bunch of kanto pokemon as unique alola forms makes perfect sense considering the fact that hawaii is full of japs and their mixed descendants

If you drop your nostalgia glasses they are awful beyond the pixel graphics and the nostalgia bonus you give them

>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.

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.

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

Glad you agreed. Also, don’t share your selfies on Internet forums.

Is there any shame in just looking up how to get the 16 gym leader phone numbers in HG/SS because all my pokemon are level 51 and I don't feel like waiting a week to get their phone numbers just so I can level up my Pokemon just so I can fight Red.

I didn't know amphy was a duck

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.

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.

Alolan forms was the last straw for me considering they deliberately limited their potential for Kanto shit

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

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.

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.

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.

Just grind in Cerulean Cave or, if you have another DS, transfer your team to Platinum for training.

It’s not just the diversity, Gen 2 Pokemon not Scizor or T-Tar have pretty awful stats and learnsets even in Gen IV.

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

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.

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.

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.

>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

Then why not Johto (Chubu/Kansai/Shikoku), Hoenn (Kyushu), or Sinnoh (Hokkaido)? Why just Kanto (Chubu/Kanto)?

>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.

Gen1=Gen2>Gen3>Gen5>Gen8>Gen7>Gen4

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.

friendship and affection
it's the main message of the entire series, so why not go all the fucking way with it

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.

Sorry but there's absolutely no reason for every alolan form to be a Kanto pokemon.

Then go back to your containment board that Hiro made specifically for you. Keep your manchild cancer out of Yea Forums. This isn't the board for that kind of thing ok?

>Keep your manchild cancer out of Yea Forums
what the fuck do you mean "manchild cancer" assuming you're not like 16, we're all adults talking about fucking video games. Yea Forums is inherently manchild ridden.

>that Hiro made specifically for you
how new

>all this gen 5 praising
How do you feel being a laughting stock? What did gen V did best than any other gen?

Literally 1% of the whole game.
>entire postgame is about look
Oh god the sinnoh pandering when will the horror end

This is false, I'm 4 gyms in and on par with everyone, you only become overleveled by soloing.

Are there any challenge runs that are actually fun? I've tried nuzlockes before but they always just end up being "focus grind whatever you have that beats the next area or else your whole team dies"

>tfw chad casual
Nothing more fun than seeing virgins bitch about the 3D models being "soulless" because they don't use Amie to see how good and expressive the 3D models actually are.

>How do you feel being a laughting stock?
That describes Pokefags buying the same game for two decades

based and not autistic pilled

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.

that still means said 3D models aren't as expressive in battle
the models themselves aren't the problem, it's Gamefreak being cheap fucks

>The majority of Gen V Pokémon had crappy designs
Oh please.

they are right though.

Being a casualchad is great.
>use favourite Pokemon rather than the competitively viable ones
>sometimes you get lucky and one of your favorites gets buffed in a later game

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.

I don't understand this thread.

Monotype can be fun, although I only tried it in a Drayano hack so I had all mons to choose from, some of the shitmons were better, good TMs were given earlier etc

yea gen 2 is trash

USUM had some difficulty spikes, and the Japanese players complained (the same people that complained that it was easy)

If you don't care about winning in online battles in Pokemon Can'to is fine but if you want to win you gotta drop the dead weight.

Leave my Smoochy alone. Go after literal shit like Magcargo and Sunflora.

I miss showderp.

it's still around

no smoochum is trash and has no reason to exist along with the other worthless baby pokemon

Baby Pokemon exist for certain moves and to push the breeding mechanic in Gen II along with filling some holes a few lines may have (Snorlax with Munchlax later on).
