This thread is for the discussion of the Golden Age of the highest grossing vidya franchise (Pokemon Generations 1-6). For discussion of Generations without Satoshi Tajiri (Gen1+2) or Junichi Masuda (Gen3-6) in directoral positions, please go to >>>/vp/. Fanart and screenshots are also allowed.What's your favorite Legacy Pokémon game? What's your favorite Pokémon? What are some of your favorite memories with the first 20 years of Pokémon?
The golden age never happened because we never had a game like the first series of Pokémon Special

Honestly hard to pinpoint, but Sneasel has always been at the top for me.>What are some of your favorite memories with the first 20 years of Pokémon?Watching the anime as a wee lad and playing with all the toys I could get my hands on.Playing through Yellow and Gold with this fucking thing on my Gameboy.
>>730752234Fire RedKingdra or Politoed
>>730752234>6Masuda was the director but Sugimori stabbed him in the back during development, that's why 6 is the first bad generation, and after that they didnt let Masuda have a central role anymore
>>730752234man this art is so FUCKING good
>>730752234Lets Go Pikachu is peak
>>730758605>Please enjoy the dozen of unskippable cutscenes about muh character storylines and their family issuesIsn't this BW1 with N and Bianca? >>730758720>The SS Anne is trapped because they replaced Cycling Road
Gen 6 is trash and Fairy was a mistake. Stop including that shit
i've genuinely only played the first "generation" (red/blue/yellow, snap, stadium, pinball, tcg, even hey you pikachu) and silverare there complete romhacks of the mainline games? as in you can get all pokemon solo?
>>730758720Gen7. >>>/vp/
>>730763194Yes even for gen 1 you have hacks like Shin Red that have tons of bug fixes, QoL features, and additions while still staying true to gen 1.
>>7307522345 and 6 need to be left out of these conversations, even though I actually liked 6.Golden age ended with HGSS.
pura puta sidosa plays 3rd gen and newerjohto and kanto represents
>>730752234>6really tried to slip that one in there
>>730765214>HGSS.so overrated, the level scaling is ass and they made no attempt to fix it for the remake, the distribution of pokemon was not fixed at all and still sucks, and the battle frontier was just copy pasted from platinum
>>730752234pokemon is the nortubel of nintendo
>>730752234>Golden Age>(Pokemon Generations 1-6)The golden age is gen 1-2. No one even watched the third Pokemon movie in 2001.
>>730767253
>>730767215Cool script
>>730767390see how you have no rebuttal? because its simply true.
>>730766934dats right homie
>>730767552Didn't ask
The Pokemon games are better than ever, you’ve bought into a lie by autists offended that cross gen transfer isn’t as supported anymore
>>730767786
I like Hoenn.
>>730752234>What's your favorite Legacy Pokémon game?Platinum>Favorite PokemonAggron is what brought me back into the pokemon fold. I also really like Wailmer.>What are some of your favorite memories with the first 20 years of Pokémon?I remember my me and my brother getting really excited to get back into Pokemon after 8 years away from it with Gen 4. Before DP came out we bought Emerald and shared a game file. I remember him being really insistent on getting a female ralts with a good nature so he hogged the DS all day trudging through Route 102 for basically two days.
>>730752234Also, I dislike that Gen 6 should be part of the golden age. I liked some of the pokemon designs present in Gen 6 but holy fucking shit did I hate everything else about X and Y. I hated the enemy team, I hated the group of friends who followed you, I hated the gyms, and I hated the blocky 3D.
I don't like the term legacy because modern pokemon is garbage. There is no modern , there is no legacy, there's only pokemon and it died with the DS
>>730752234>6Nah
>>730767215already debunked and other games had it worse. stop watching the same yt clips
>>730756316>>730761372>>730765214>>730767032Gen 6 is the end of the Masuda era, love it or hate it.>>730753651based honestly
>>730769081i came to that opinion on my own hgss isnt much better than bw2 platinum or emerald
>>730769081>stop watching the same yt clipspoketubers are the ones doing the revisionist work claiming Johto level scaling is actually good though
>>730769151Taiji era is the only good era.
>>730752234>Gen 6Any gen after 6 is better than 6.
>>730758605Am I supposed to object to characters having storylines or what?>it's Pokemon you're not supposed to care!It's not so much that I care as I know writing a better story than Game Freak usually does isn't difficult.
>>730761372Get shit, dragon fucker
>>730752234>6MISTA MERRIKUUUUUUU
>>730771053 Only thing Gen 6 contributed was the eternal nightmare that is Fairy type ruining half of my team comps. Literally the beginning of the end. Game looked like a bootleg PS2 game and somehow ran worse.
>>730771048>make type to counter dragon type>doesn't actually do that
>>730752234>What's your favorite Legacy Pokémon game? I like all of them, but if I had to choose probably XY for replayability. >What's your favorite Pokémon?Eevee since it can be adapted to different games. I always used Jolteon in Kanto, but then Espeon in Gen 2, and eventually Sylveon or Glaceon in later games. It's a good mon, and deserves its popularity.>What are some of your favorite memories with the first 20 years of Pokémon?HGSS release or XY release.
