The peak of a franchise
The peak of a franchise
Sorry, wrong image. Meant to post this.
how did things end up the way they did
why can't GF just make a decent game?
not even good. i'm not greedy. good is too much for GF. decent would be enough
Based, it's a sad life knowing they'll never top it
Shoo zoomer
>why can't GF just make a decent game?
because they are absolute SHIT devs who simply got really really lucky with an easy formula.
This game is like if you bought an expansion of a game that removed base content. Absolute shit and probably one of the worst by far.
fpbp
stop posting, i bet you also like SM and Sword & Shield
Because they keep letting Masuda and Ohmori direct
>why can't GF just make a decent game?
because they don't have to
the leveling curve was weird, i was severely underleveled by the time i got to e4 but other than that it was my favorite pokemon game.
If you say this about BW2, it means the whole franchise is an embarrassment
fpbp HGSS is overrated
They already did with Platinum and Gen V
She's cute
both are good imo. but White 2 is tied with Halo: Reach as my favorite game of all time.
Compared to its prequels of course it looks like a masterpiece. HGSS was an overall more finished product but was held back by Gen IV's slow-ass engine.
This, its never been about the hardware, especially since we have people pushing the Switch to its absolute limits porting games over that no one though was possible and they aren't actually terrible.
I can tell you right now Witcher 3 on Switchs filesize is bigger than what Pokemon would be with all the Pokemon available, with new models, textures, and all the post game features returning.
Gen 4 (sans DP) + Gen 5 is the peak of the franchise, no need to argue
PokeMMO
POKEMMO
POKE
MMO
PLAY IT
>Halo: Reach
The pic Johtocucks don’t want you to see
>unofficialMMO
who fucking cares
Everyone already played it years ago
WHO CARES
ITS BEEN AROUND SINCE FUCKING 2012
ITS ACTUALLY PEAK POKEMON
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH
PLAY IT
Platinum only has 8 though, gym 7 is less than halfway through in HGSS. If you're going to complain about something in Johto, at least mention how low level the wild pokemon are relative to the strength of the player.
The Black and White games were truly the last time Game Freak had any true passion for making Pokemon.
>an actual attempt at a story
>implemented new battle types
>instead of making a third version, they made actual sequels that further improved the base game, continued the story, added new areas and postgame, added older Pokemon to the dex, tourneys against every gym leader up to that point, etc.
All cast aside because Genwunners had autistic meltdowns over not being able to use older Pokemon immediately in the first BW games. Now they realize they don't have to try anymore.
Same, recently got back in and now they have a bunch of regions, even the DS games now
It's pretty fucking good, I recommend it to everyone
>ITS BEEN AROUND SINCE FUCKING 2012
thats really surprisingly actually, how hasnt nintendo dropped the DMCA hammer on it yet?
Now compare both games strongest trainers, if singular cherry picked examples of difficulty are good enough to judge the whole game.
Is this what Pokecucks consider "game design"? Completely arbitrary and easily changed team compositions, as opposed to the core values and goals that affect the direction of the entire game?
The reason why the games aren't made the way you want is because you aren't the target audience. Most Pokemon players never play online, they never do the post game, they don't complete the pokedex. Most players just want to play through the story, so that's what they've focused the games on. People loved Sun and moon, they liked the constant character interruptions.
You provide the roms, PokeMMO is just a client. kind of like emulators I guess, legally speaking
It also works to show show how much Johto took a backseat in its own game to accommodate Kanto.
why the fuck would a game developer listen to its consumers. just make good shit and ignore everything and everyone.
>"i-it's ok because Red!"
>this somehow excuses the rest of the game's level curve being dogshit
typical Johtard
In that case, Barry > Red.
People want Pokemon games to make a leap forward in terms of scope, Gamefreak hates admitting most of Pokemon's success came from the anime, and led to changes to designs and even the recent decision to put more hints that Ash in canon in the games.
What people really want is the scope on display in the show, make towns as big as the seem in the show we have the tech to do it now.
The only downside is the show has actually been trying to recreate the games town layouts despite being shitty, but when the anime staff is given free reign they do what they did in the SM special and redesign Brocks gym to be the size of an American Football stadium and change the concept of a gym to a sport stadium/YMCA
Have people managed to emulate this without it crashing and the screen going black? Remember it being a pain in the ass
>Now compare both games strongest trainers
Red isn’t enough to make up for the ass level curve and the ads Pokemon distribution
>attempt at story
>dude pokemon PETA lmao
no
In the past two years I've played through all of the Pokémon games, and I was surprised how well both B/W and X/Y were designed. The level system is best in these two games, and you could add Pokémon to your party at any time and reasonably either Audino grind or Battle Chateau grind to catch up with the rest of your team. HGSS specifically have no failsafes for this, you have to wait for trainers to rematch you or get ~300 EXP from wild Pokémon.
>it all went over your head
Gen 5 is the Hunter x Hunter of Pokemon. Retards can't understand either.
It’s better then Gen 2 where you have to clean up Red’s sloppy seconds or Gen 3’s we had no idea what the fuck we were getting into.
This but unironically. I'm really enjoying it
i must defeat capitalism by catching them all
eh, I think firered was its peak
soulsilver was good, sure, but it was too babyfied and had annoying noises and took too long to accept commands
Yeah so I can play games I've already played but now there's a bunch of deviantart rejects around me and a handful of unimplemented moves and abilities
Also don't remember, is PokeMMO the one where you can't get a shedinja or am I thinking of something else?
>Didn't address the fucked up wild encounter scaling and empty-ass Kanto that plagued the original
>DUDE IT GETS REALLY GOOD AFTER YOU BEAT THE GAME
Even the newer games don't railroad you as hard as this one. Go back to tumblr.
It makes up for it in the content.
Its worked fine for years mate. You just had a day 1 antipiracy problem I think. Feel like the patch was out before the west even got the game.
>Halo: Reach
B r u h
>having a good post-game is bad
I liked chasing the fauna around in the first level; they should have more of that in the games
>has a worse main story than Black and White
>b-but it gets good when you beat the game I promise!
Nah. HGSS are the GOAT. Gen 5 is overrated trash.
Hg/Ss is fucking terrible until you get to Kanto and then it's only meh at best. People just give it a pass because of Muh Comfy.
>Nah. HGSS are the GOAT.
Can’t be GOAT when your purpose is literally appetite before Kanto.
a few more years and I can sell my boxed copy of SS with Pokéwalker for a lot of money, aw yeahh
pic related is better
>even worse level curve and Pokemon distribution or physical split
Nostalgiacucks leave
