They should stop adding Pokemon

But then we wouldn't get the good games

>cozy
you should play pokemon silver instead

For me it's Crystal

Your dad should have killed your mom after he creampied her instead of putting you into the world.
Gold/Silver/Crystal were peak Pokemon. Gold and Silver are very impressive for being playable on original Gameboys with how much content they had.

This. After gen 2 they realized it was gonna be a yearly cash grab game so they stopped putting in effort.
It would of been remembered fondly instead of it literally turning into minions level of cringe and greed

The real time clock added a lot to the game. It felt like you could check into the game every day to do something

There was hardly any content. Kanto was gutted and the balancing was dog shit. Most Gen II design were shit,too.
Gen II was the definition of a cash grab after Red and Blue.

I agree except I don’t care as much as you. Also the n64 games were good spin off titles.

it's ok to add 20-30 ones each time, but not 100-150

I mean we have so many now do we really need more for a while? Gamefreak can't even fit them all into games anymore

Hate to be THAT guy but Kanto was extremely butchered and the extra resources could have been used to spice up Johto since the region itself is extremely small

Let me guess. You were born after 2005?

At least you hate being a faggot. Kanto isn't the only thing I'm referencing when I say content, but it remains that on an 8 bit console is where GameFreak decided to add a whole separate 8 Gym badges and league champion. There are features in Gold and Silver that still aren't in Pokemon, like creating your own Pokeballs. And yet you faggots who weren't even cum stains when Pokemon first came out think that just because you watched some other cock sucker on YouTube that suddenly you're an expert on games you never played.

>ad hominem brainlet
Gen II is absolute trash gameplaywise. The level curve is fucked, gym leader teams are trash, the main "story" is garbage, Kanto is boring and most new Pokemon are locked behind the post game.

Funny because gen 2 itself was going to be a yearly cashgrab if it met it's orginal planned 1997 release

for me it was early morning Animal Crossing Wild World

Gen 2 didn't really have that much content. Johto is tiny with only a few interesting locations and even as a kid Kanto felt like an afterthought. Its inclusion was a cool surprise, but there isn't really much to do or see there and all the gym leaders are a joke. The level curve complaint isn't just a meme, the game is utterly fucked in terms of progression.
Really? Apricorn balls are what you consider content? They're a neat addition, but hardly anything that's going to actually add any playtime to the game. No one is saying including Kanto wasn't a cool idea, but that storage space would have been better used to really flesh out Johto instead.

Gen 2 is tied with 3 as the absolute worst generations.
Platinum polished up the turd that was 3 and 5 did the reboot right.

The yearly cashgrab shit didnt start until post HGSS

Post JUSTICE

kek a zoomer that retroactively analyzes every game as bad because it doesnt have mega evolutions or the pokemon arent made for competitive autism of a childrens game

/thread
Zoomers cant fathom how much of a technical marvel was Gen 2 running on a gameboy because they consider day/night cycles and timed events a given, and they cant understand that pokemon target audience back then was millennial kids that just wanted to catch Pokemon and have fun and not autistic manchildern that want to min/max their fucking pokemon and complain about everything all the time. Maybe Gen 2 feels outdated in 2022 but no other pokemon gen (maybe the n64 ones as well) has managed to take its console to the limits with its game features

Just end yourself. Those are perfectly fine arguments that show how Gen II is trash and you just keep spouting buzzwords to justify your nostalgia. This place definitely needs a lot more gatekeeping.

You're right, they were peak pokemon, until the other games released.
I'm sorry your favorite nostalgiawank game fell into nothigness.

nah, gen 3 is the cutoff for me.
Hoenn was pretty good, it was after that they switched the artstyle and made everything look shitty.

I'd play gen 2 over most modern Pokémon games anyday of the week.

Because of nostalgia, I know.

Do technical achievements have anything to do with the game being good
I like gen 2's atmosphere and designs, but I can't say the region is very exciting.

Not without a romhack/randomizer/nuzlocke anything to make the game even remotely harder. There are pretty good romhacks that fix a lot of stuff but vanilla is just a giant waste of time.

Sure, but they're the most fun to me, I played all of them.
Nu Pokémon sucks, it's just hand holding into cutscenes into more hand holding

It's a video game, of course it's a waste of time.

>but they're the most fun to me, I played all of them.
Yes. That's nostalgia, why do you keep repeating yourself?
>Nu Pokémon sucks, it's just hand holding into cutscenes into more hand holding
Pokemon was always designed for children.

The absence of morning colors and a sense of warmth is what I felt they got most wrong in HeartGold/SoulSilver. They gave all the grass a more blueish color for no good reason, making Johto look so much colder and less summer-y.

>implying any area in any pokemon game has ever been particularly exciting

As in, generally well designed.

>Gold
>Not Crystal

Stop playing the wrong version, faggot.

>level curve
meme
>gym leader teams are trash
just like in every non-romhack pokemon game
>main story is garbage
huh, you're a kid who wants to be the champion. much better than the cringe "you're the chosen one that meets pokemon god and saves the world. AGAIN."
>kanto is boring
no, you get to hunt the new pokemon you're missing, rebattling old leaders and see where they aren now is fun. you're only coping just because your favorite game has only 1 region which shows how lazy GF got
>most new pokemon are locked behind the post game
houndour, misdreavus and larvitar? maybe i'm missing a couple but thats like 10/100, and every game has some pokemon locked behind postgame. and if there were no exclusive pokemon in the lategame, you retards would just say "but kanto is empty and there's no point because you already filled the dex"
G/S closely followed by RB and RS are by far the most effort GF has put on the games, you're just a denialist analyzing everything from a skewed zoomer perspective

It wasn't even my first, I don't think it's nostalgia.
I used to like gen 3 best, now I like gen 2

Actually it was so peak Gen, that Gen 3 and the 3d sequels did nothing to me and actually made me stop following pokemon games. I really hated how they removed day/night in Gen 3, how you couldnt "catch 'em all", and the fact that the improvements were not that groundbreaking anymore. Never cared to play pokemon competitive(lmao at those people who do), to care about pokemon balance(well at least on the art department, the good pokemon designs outweighed the bad ones compared to the new shit designs) and difficulty curve felt alright in Gen 2.

I guess those who grew up with gen 1+2 and still play pokemon games are just brand loyalists and zoomers know no better than modern pokemon and cant go back to appreciate the old gens(game+anime) where the soul was at. After Gen2, Game freak just stopped putting any kind of effort and went to only make pokemon games and mediocre anime series that went to turbo shit

i was stuck taking my GBC everywhere else while everyone was busy with Hoenn at the time lol. not that it mattered much, HG/SS was a real treat. haven't bothered with Pkmn since.

the idea of linking the time of the game with the actual time in real life is retarded to shit
making your consumer wait for real time hours so he can do certain things is an awful mechanic

It's not like anything essential is tied to the time. Just a lot of fun optional things

I'll believe you. What makes it more fun for you to play those? I'm honestly put off by no phys/special split in pre gen 4.

Now this is what a delusional nostalgiafag looks like.

>meme
Are you retarded ?
>just like in every non-romhack pokemon game
So Gen II gyms are shit. Thank you.
>huh, you're a kid who wants to be the champion. much better than the cringe "you're the chosen one that meets pokemon god and saves the world. AGAIN."
Did you completely forget about the atrocious recycled Rocket plot ? Wow, Gen II sure was memorable.
>no, you get to hunt the new pokemon you're missing, rebattling old leaders and see where they aren now is fun. you're only coping just because your favorite game has only 1 region which shows how lazy GF got
Except all the Pokemans are underleveld and pointless to add to your team. Most Pokemon you catch there are garbage and the gym leaders are boring. You can easily one shot every pokemon on their team.
>see where they are
They are literally standing in the same spot. They got copy pasted from Gen I without any effort or thought put into the game design. Kanto is pointless and poses no challenge at all until you get to Blue and Red.
>houndour, misdreavus and larvitar?
Murkrow, Slugma and Ursaring,too. And let's not forget about all the Gen II Pokemon you get right before or after Gym 8. Most Gen II teams in Johto look like Starter-Gyarados-Ampaharos-Quaqsire-Crobat-some Eveelution. The variety to build a team is dog shit.
> most effort GF has put on the games
Just plain wrong and you can't admit it because of nostalgia. Gen II was rushed as fuck to cash in on the hype. They were supposed to be last the games until GF realized that they found a cash cow. Just a few examples
>fire starters sharing the exact same stats with the one from GenI
>still no physical/special split making pokemon like Sneazle a physical attacker for some reason
>completely obsolete pokemon like Grandbul, Sunflora or Ariados which serve no purpose at all and get outclassed by most Gen I pokemon
>level curve being an absolute meme and trivializing everything after Whitney with the exception being Claire, Blue and Red

Just to expand on that one
>gym leader teams are absolute ass
>Falkner has two pokemon a pidgey and its evolution with mudslap as the gimmick
>Bugseys ace is a Scyther, you get to fight two mid evolution Gen I bug types before that
>Whitney has two pokemon, one of which is a completely pushover unless you get metronome luck
>Morty's ace is a Gen I ghost, not that there was anything to pick from since Gen II added one additional useless Ghost pokemon, also the movesets of his team are ass
>Jasmine has two magnemites (kek) and a Gen I evolution added in Gen II
>Chuck, top lel, I don't even need to say anything about his team
>Pyrce has a Seal and his ace is dog shit
>Claire has two Dragonites and her ace is a new Gen I evo just like Morty
>Elite Four is kinda ok but it's still too easy
>and finally Kanto, just skip it until Blue, all gym leaders are bad and not fun to fight

I really pity the anons who were too jaded or just downright hateful towards Pokemon that they never got to play through BW and BW2. Coming from someone that dropped Pokemon in 2008ish with Platinum, and then played BW2 last year, I felt like a fool that I dropped the series right before the best games of the series.

I feel sorry for you zoomer. Anime went to shit after gen 2 and the pokemon games stagnated in terms of quality and went to shit after the pokemon games on gamecube

Gen 5 is an extremely railroaded experience.
The only reason you would like it so much is because it's the first game you played as a kid.

>Min/Maxxing ADHD faggot
Rope yourself nobody's gonna read your essay

>my uncle storming into the room and saying proudly he won the friday pokemon radio lottery
>theorycrafting with my buddies about the alph ruins
>being told i can go back to kanto and seeing how my place of origins had changed

Second Gen does so many things right, I just dont know how they could ever top that.

>buzzwords, he doesn't understand
The only one talking about min/maxing is you, kek.
>calling other ADHD faggots
>afterwards admitting that you don't have the attention span to read a post with a character limit of 2000 characters. I feel sorry for you.

There are so many good reasons why Gen II is shit and you only like it because you were a kid when you played it. The only one not posting anything meaningful here is you. Fuck off from Yea Forums, you absolute cancer.

If you analyze every game this autistically, they're all bad and you should only play romhacks, so go do that retard

I feel sorry that you're so scared of new things and generations because it reminds you of how old you're getting.

Will GameFreak ever go back to Ultra Beasts and the dimensions they reside in? That dimension with Guzzlord was kino.

Gen 3 has a huge problem with monster placement and level scaling. If you've been switching Pokemon into your team all game you'll get to the Elite Four with most of your Pokemon massively underleveled because the last two gyms have weak ass teams and the random encounters are also low level. The latter of which is now a problem because you have to GRIND to catch up levels or get bodied by the E4. Oh and all the highest level mons out in the wild are one type so eat shit if you've got types weak to those that need training.

Gen 3 was SO BAD.

They couldn't. Unless you were back to being 10 and forgot all you ever knew then that sense of wonder can't be captured. It could have been Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Mario, Kirby, Zelda, GTA. That's why I really don't like why people are so critical of the Pokemon games. They've been functionally the same for the last 25 years. Getting mad or being disappointed at them at this point its such a waste of energy. Most people play one or two gens when they're young and they either drop out because they lose interest/hate it or they love it and keep going. I was able to drop my hate for the games and just enjoy them for what they are, and lowered my expections. Obviously I hacked a 2DS and played through all of them without paying a cent so that probably helped in my enjoynment.

all the pokemon games are railroaded as fuck what the fuck are you saying you fucking retard jesus fucking christ

I really do love gen II
Gold was my first Pokemon game, and replaying GSC always gives me that comfy feeling again, I had when playing it as a wee lad

doesn't gen 2 have those exact same problems?

>analyze
>autistically
>pointing out that most gym leaders in Johto use Pokemon from Kanto is "analyzing shit autistically"
You know, maybe you are just really dumb and can't understand a game designed for 8-year olds.
