4chan's favorite Pokemon game
>>721168108they’re objectively the worst pokemon games
>>721168108sissies here would never choose an entry where you can't play as a girl
>>721168108yellow because it's the most like the tv show was
>>721168108they’re objectively the best pokemon games
>they’re objectively the worst pokemon games
>>721168108>Beat the game>Unlock an entirely different regionAmazing. All these years later, all the technological advancements and you beat the game, get some post credits shit hinting at a sequel and then you can buy the DLC for it.
>>721168225The early generations of Pokemon were adventure games. Gold/Silver was the best adventure.
>>721168225The music is my favorite along with gen 3 and 5
>>721168108even oldfags are too old to have played this as a child
Reddit's favorite Pokemon game
>>721168960...is Platinum
>>721168960reddit is shitnova albeit.
>>721168108I don't care what corner of the internet you cling to. Gen IV platinum and hg/ss are the best games
>>721168635The adventure in GSC sucks dick, the region is boring, the pokemon distribution is dogshit, the rewards for exploring sucks, and Kanto was gutted of all substance. You’re still fighting level 15 Rattatas at the end of the game lmao.
>no running shoesshit game
>>721169274Reddit just cycles with the current nostalgia, so theyre unova right now but will be creaming over kalos soon, expeshuly with za around the corner
>>721168225People like you are the reason Pokemon is in the shit state that it's in.
BAN EVERY SINGLE POKEMON THREAD NOT ON VP.BAN EVERY SINGLE USER MENTIONING POKEMON NOT ON VP.
>>721169387>pokemon distribution is dogshit How many times do we have to post this image before you will stop lying. Add the Kanto mons to this and GSC has the BEST distribution in the series, bar none.
>>721169437You get a bicycle early on you faggot
>>721170096>shit pokemon and type distribution; at least a third of the new mons are inaccessible until the very end of the game, also enjoy having exactly 1 dark type before kanto lol>terrible plot that ends with anticlimactic battle against a literal who admin who doesn't even get a name until the equally as shit remake 11 years later>most gym leaders don't even use the new Pokemon>elite 4 starts at level 40, not only making it the lowest elite 4 start by 6 levels, but meaning that you wont be able to use some of your favourite pokemon (ex Dragonite) until half way through the postgame without sweeping every gym>evolution item distribution is terrible>still fighting level 25 shitmons in the grass all the way through the postgame kanto>Kanto is barren as fuck with most things gutted outright and the gyms are a cakewalk with lower levels than the elite 4 you just beatmakes no sense. gen 2 is awful regardless of the shitty switch games
it's actually harder than gen 1 and 3
For me, it's crystal.
>>721170254These are all non-complaints, and a result of Game Freak/TPC drilling their 'every generation is a soft reset' agenda into your thick skull. Congratulation, the corporate entity drives your opinions and you have 0 independent thoughts. You are a useful idiot, and an ignorant shill. Imagine seeing the pure SOVL of pic related and thinking that any other Pokemon game other than Gen 1 can come close.
>>721170254>evolution item distribution is terribleThis is a problem in gens 3-5 as well
>>721170254he did the meme lmao
>>721168108I mean you're objectively correct, they're the Pokemon games that scored highest in the polls last year.
>>721170625they’re all valid complaintsthe games are awfulthe most soulless iterations of pokemon made solely to capitalize on the pokemon craze>>721170745nopeeven the shitty johto remakes gave awful stone distribution and tried to baindaid them with shitty minigames
>>721170625Why does JOSH get 2 starters?
>>721168108RPGCodex agrees
>>721170254>giant essay posted exactly 2 minutes after the post he's quoting Johto derangement bros have entire copypastes ready to seethe about GSC, lmfao Has to be Unova or Hoenn fans, no-one else in the Pokemon community is sad enough to do that
>>721168108If they're not someone's favourite pokemon game I simple don't trust them to have good taste.
>>721171062Gen 2/Johto fans have a lot of friends to trade with
>>721171021>gen 2 is the only gen to capitalize on the pokemon craze delusional nugen shill, everyone in the thread now knows your opinion is meaningless
>>721168108https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/AzPKTQymhRIO6y3RiyMHfw/Stop it. Get some help.
>>721168108For me, it's genwun
>>721168225>this is what SwSh and SV fans actually believe
>>721170203I completely agree and that guy is an utter and complete retard, but calling elekid "readily available" when it's only in crystal and a 1/7 chance out of an egg that doesn't have an indicator on whats in it is a bit disingenuous
>>721168225Fuck off back to /vp/, /v/ is Gold&Silver territory.
Gen 1, 2, and 4 have the best Pokémon designs for sure
>>721171559It's hard to obtain sure, but it is still readily available. Sometimes there are Pokemon that you gotta put the work in for, that's just how all the games work. It's like saying Milotic isn't readily available in RSE. It's just factually incorrect, if you know what you're doing, Milotic is perfectly obtainable. If anything it separates the men from the boys.
>>721172114Elekid requires actually resetting the game if you don't get lucky on your first try. Milotic just requires you to know what you're doing. They're objectively not the same.
>>721171062Romhacks/cheating
>>721172114Elekid is an easily missable one-time thing. Feebas is available from the moment you get to that route clear until the end of the game infinitely
>>721172446>>721172714Then reset. And if you don't want to reset, you're clearly not the kind of person who would have the endurance for Feebas/Milotic either. There is no excuse.
>>721172446unless you get lucky and find Feebas immediately or hatch Elekid first time, both of them are going to take about as long as each other, but then Feebas has an insane evo method on top of it, so Elekid is probably the easier find overall
>>721170203It’s insane how terrible the Johto dex is even with your mixing of all the version exclusives together.
>>721168108I had more fun with Red. Gold has a lot of nice upgrades, but the world is less fun imo. Never played any Pokemon game after that but I jerk off to the girls and some pokemon.
>>721173265Chimecho is worse, nigger. And I catch both every single Emerald playthrough. You're talking to the wrong autist.
Every game is the worst game.You want to catch this monster? Sorry no, you should have bought the other version of the game. Can't have that one either, you've got to trade it in from the previous generation. That one there was limited to online events ten years ago. The other one, you had to bring your cartridge to a cinema in Tokyo for it. This one you can have, but you need to delete your save and start over to choose it.Is there a series that hates its own fans more than Pokemon?
>>721173652>version exclusives are only bad when Gen 2 does it
>>721168108I HAVE BEEN PLAYING POKEMON POLISHED CRYSTAL, POKEMON CRYSTAL LEGACY AND POKEMON CRYSTAL CLEAR AND THEY ARE ALL FUCKING PEAKthat's all.
>>721174639Nobody actually says this, retarded Johtonigger. I wouldn’t ask someone for a list of encounters in an Emerald playthrough then expect to see Roselia or have Metagross “readily available if you own Colosseum”.
>>721175178If I were to play only one of those which would you recommend?
>>721175178I fucking love Crystal Clear, even with its OC faggotry
>>721173652Johto dex mogs gens 4, 5, 6, and 8. Scizor, Shuckle, and Heracross alone fuck your favorites pokemons sisters, mother, AND grandmothers
>>721175264Depends on what experience you're looking for.Pokémon Crystal Legacy is like the definite version of the vanilla Crystal. Bug fixes, adding some things here and there, makes all Pokémon catchable and balance changes. IT also fixes a lot of Pokémon too but it's sill familiar to the original Crystal.Pokémon Polished Crystal takes Pokémon Crystal and modernizes it. Adds current Pokémon gameplay like natures, IV/EV's and new Pokémon forms and adds it to Crystal. It also adds a LOT of new content. It also completely restores Kanto too like to how it was in Red and Blue. To be honest,. Polished Crystal is more of a HG/SS demake and I like it. I would recommend it.Crystal Clear is Pokémon Crystal but open world. You can start from any town and you have way more options for starters. It's pretty different in a good way
>>721175264Not that anon but if I had to just recommend one it'd be Polished Crystal. That game's like playing what your idealized memories of Crystal are.
>>721175871>>721176145Awesome, thanks. I'll start with Polished Crystal and if I still want more I'll give the others a go.
kino...
>>721170897You do realize your picture claims GS has a dogshit postgame this way?
>>721168882I played this as a child lol. Christmas 2000, I was 7. My brother and I got the same thing, a Gameboy color and this. I was given gold, my brother silver. I recently finally got all 251 for the first time using Delta. I didn’t have to cheat, just a lot of tedious trades on the PC and inserting the save file back in.I used a Poliwrath and a Gengar heavily his time because I’ve never done them as a lead. Haunter was level 52 by the time I was able to do a trade to evolve him. Once they get to Level 80 I put them away into the Hall of Legends. I may port them into a different save file. I kinda want to do gen I with a Porygon lead.
>>721183340Also I had to post. I love the Mew I raised for this playthrough. Not my first, but definitely the most powerful. All I did was use the dev-mode method in Pokémon Blue and I gave it all the TMs and vitamins from that and sent him to Crystal version at level 7.Mew is MonadMewtwo is Demiurge
its certainly an overrated gen and region but its not bad. i like heracross and smeargle :)
>>721179251>every game MUST have a 'postgame' The full game is from when you start, to beating Red. That is the game. Only terminal basement dwellers need more game after they've FINISHED the game, lmfao
>>721185479>That is the game.yeah and it's dogshit
>>721170203>readily available>several 1% encounter rate/postgame mons that are rarely on anyones team so you have to wait for a call informing you about a mass outbreak (one a day btw) to know where they are or to find them in a reasonable amount of time.>Heracross requires you to headbut every tree or look up a guide so you can see which trees correspond to your trainer ID>Hitmontop requires you to autistically stat train one of the worse mons in pokemon history and requires a guide because no one on earth is going to know how to evolve him without one>includes Scizor and Steelix despite metal coat being a 2% drop from a 20% encounter rate>version exclusives not separatedlol you gscucks are insanely delusional
>>721168225OP didn't post Diamond and Pearl tho?
