These

...are the games that saved Pokemon from almost dying due to Gen 3 aka, the games that killed Pokemania.

Seriously read the Youtube comments on any generation debate video. Everyone loves Gen 4, it holds so much nostalgia. Literally no one talks about Gen 3 like that, lol.

sinnohfetus revionism. gen 4 was hated, especially DP since they were so slow. the only games people liked from that shit gen were HGSS.

dumb zoomer

as said, everyone hated d/p because they were SLOW AS FUCK and completely departed in feel from previous games.

Even platinum is overlooked despite fixing all the speed issues and actually being a good game.

Gen 4 had the opposite effect on me, I didn't pick up a real Pokemon game again until Pokemon Go convinced me to try out X/Y.

Gen 4 was waaaay too much of a downgrade

You guys have a board dedicated to Pokémon fuck off

pokemania died with gen 2, and gen 3 was no where near dead numbers. Gen 5 is what scared the shit out of gamefreak and left us with the shitstains that are gen 6-8

>Everyone loves Gen 4, it holds so much nostalgia. Literally no one talks about Gen 3 like that, lol.
sick confirmation bias, D/P are considered trash

this. I stayed away until my friend convinced me to get White 2 wich was good

obviously if you go on your gen 4 OST vids it's going to be nostalgiafags jerking off to whatever. Gen 4 was a mess, platinum bandaided some shit but still had a lot of problems like garbage region, HM, and speed. Gen 4 is largely liked due to HG/SS

D/P/Pl also under-performed, only reason they sold more than gen 3 was the DS selling double that of the GBA (despite this D/P/Pl barely sold more than R/S/E)

ITT: people that had no friends to mine with.

Gen 4 nearly killed Pokemon and is the starting point of many cancerous elements that are currently tumors on modern Pokemon.

>people that had no friends to mine with.
I did actually do that wiht my cousin. Shit mechanic but I'm still strangely nostalgic for those times. We we're both trying to get aerodactyl.
4 was ok but Gen 3 was better imo

What is with all the Pokémon threads today, did something happen on /vp/ or something?

sinnoh is trash, don't let the nostalgiatards tell you otherwise. The only good thing is the post game of platinum which is an inferior version of Emerald's anyway.

A small list of some problems with gen 4:

-speed. Battles take way too long due to shit like long weather effects or slow HP bar drain. This is especially bad in gen 4 since blissy was so prominent online.
-garbage region. Only variation in the main game is snow and swamp, both of which are terrible and slow down the gameplay even more. All environmental diversity was crampt in post game
-worst HM usage in the series
-lol mt. coronett
-horrid pokemon distribution, platinum fixed it a bit but it was still shit
-contest and battle frontier were shittier than gen 3's
-horrid legendary bloat with most of them having shit designs
-bunch of babymon and disgusting cross evo designs, along with the previous bullet point, give sinnoh the worst pokedex in the series


no argument, typical sinnoh idiot

Been thinking of replaying gen 4 recently, should I just play the OG Platinum or Renegade Platinum?

Fuck, I remember doing this with my friends in middle school. One of us would have a birthday party and we'd all do the underground stuff and hide and seek pictochat. One time my friend's dad got pissed off because he found out we were all just sending messages with "fuck" etc on it.

Detective Pikachu reminded everyone that Pokemon existed.

is your containment board. Please use it for all your Pokemon discussion.

I always thought Gen 4 was kind of forgettable and the games felt weird.
But whatever, after 20 years of the same arguments about designs and gimmicks I don't really care anymore.
