i haven't played a pokemon game probably since emerald, how's the franchise going after that? are the modern 'mon games any gud?
They're all trash
I only got through SV and ZA because I autistically like Pokemon. They have a lot of problems and if you haven't played since Emerald you should just play ROM hacks instead or maybe the DS games.
>>735949269Play Lovander's game instead
>>735949269gen 4 and 5 are similar enough to the first 3 gens to not kill you inside
Gen III is probably as good as it gets, maybe Gen IV with Platinum and HGSS. After that? Na. Don't bother. Just stick the Gen 3 and 4 (including remakes) and you have everything you need.
>>735949669Rent free
>>735949642i still have my 3DS, so might be a cool idea. thanksany rom hacks recommended?>>735949678>>735949721alright, so definitely just don't play anything after 5 kek. got it
>>735949269play till gen 5 if you want, the rest is absolute garbage, not worth your time. Play hack roms and fan games instead
>>7359497975 is even a bit of a slog as times, and you have to play the shitmon filled kusoge BW to get to the pretty decent BW2
>>735949269NoJust play romhacks
>>735949965>reee why can't I use pikachu
>>735949269its the golden age of fan games no point in playing official ones when they are designed for retards.
>>735949269The mainline games are this close to being fully automatic with zero player input.
>>735949269>are the modern 'mon games any gud?Not really, but it's Gen 10 waiting room atm. + Pokemon champions will release soon. They clearly want to move away from turn based combat. PvP players will keep turn based in champions tho.Play Platinum, HG/SS, B/W and B/W2, those games are still excellent. Everything after is mid.. Gen 8 & 9 run lag free on the Switch 2 or on an Emu, if your hardware is alright.
>>735950628if B/W is so great why did they make a B/W 2?
The Legends games and Scarlet/Violet are all pretty good I’d play ZA or SV personally
>>735949965I'm gonna be real, I didn't like BW first time I played through it, but once I got to BW2 it made me appreciate the first one alot more. The structure of the game is better and honestly having to use all new mons is actually fine. BW2 feels like a romhack and not a real pokemon game with its pokemon selection, really feels like they walked back wanting to do a fresh region and not in a good way
>>735951185>having to use all new mons is actually kinoftfy
>>735949269No they are bad, they seem to be obsessed with story and stopping the player every 5 seconds despite not having anything to say
>>735950942if gemu gud = sequel, prequel, dlc, definitive edition etc etc etc
>>735950942Because Game Freak didn't want to mix race black and white so people could vandalize it into Pokemon G(r)ay.>>735949269Last good games were from gen V, play the rom hacks for QoL and extra content like that anon told you. The variety for them are mostly on gen II-III though.
>>735953808 (me)Oh, and I would like to add gen III remakes from gen VI, ORAS was it? Then again, I still won't forgive Matsuda for what he did to the Battle Frontier. Fuck that nigger faggot.
I miss Claude.
Wrong board.>>>/vp/
>>735955726nah + bump
>>735949269>are the modern 'mon games any gud?No. Platinum and Black are fun if you already liked the GBA games. Going to 3D happens to coincide with the point they started to suck, so you can just see the art style and instantly know if it's good or not.
