>beloved masterpiece suddenly becomes hated solely due to youtubers
>>
>masterpiece
HGSS is superior in every single way
>>
>>736329436
Being contrarian and hating on beloved things is an easy way to bait for clicks and get ad revenue.
>>
>>736329436
Been saying forever these games were dogshit. Gen 3 was the first playable gen and blew gen 1 and 2 out of the water so hard that even back then everyone dropped it. It's only been recently here that people have been spamming threads for gen 1 and 2 for some fucking reason. It's like some retard thirdie played pokemon for the first time.
>masterpiece
The remake was better, by a lot.
>>
>>736329436
Its gen 5 zoomers who don’t understand why gen 5 will always be the absolute dogshit worst gen and are desperate to try and shift it elsewhere.
>>
>>736329467
The 2.5D DS games are fucking ugly and I will not pretend otherwise.
>>
>>736329436
3>1>2

2 was always shit and has by far the worst Pokemon designs, that's why they gave you a watered down Kanto as an apology consolation prize.
>>
>>736329929
Gen 5 pales in comparison to the first 4 gens and even 6 and 7 but let's be real here, it's still better than gens 8 and 9
>>
>>736329436
This was just a lame stunt to shill his romhack.
His hack is very generic, hacks like Polished Crystal already do what he proposes.
>>
>>736329436
Gen 3 was the only good Pokemon gen. Emerald was so good it doesn't deserve to get lumped in with the rest of this garbage franchise.
>>
>>736329436
>solely due to youtubers
A lot of people just think the game fucking sucks dude. We've thought it for years but were always dismissed as shitposters and contrarians. Gen 2 is a fucking mess from top to bottom and it's genuine autism that holds up its reputation.
>>
>>736330039
i always like to imagine hoennfags pulling out their roster of illumise and luvdisk and masquerain and gorebyss and lopunny and gardevoir and explaining how chinchou is a bad pokemon that doesnt fit pokemons design, because the core quality that makes a pokemon a pokemon is that hoennfag is sexually aroused by it.
>>
>>736330430
>we
I doubt any of you zooms even played it. Just HG/SS for the basics and youtuber opinions to round out the rest.
>>
>>736330440
>Chinchou
Hoenn Pokemon, that's a bad example
>>
>>736329824
>Gen 3 was the first playable gen
dumbass zoomer everyone sane was already over pokemon by then
>>
>>736330481
i did intentionally misplace a pokemon, but it was not chinchou/lanturn which is gen 2.

Shut the fuck up zoomer.

Hoenn genuinely and unironically had too much water. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I dropped it when they gave me Dive, the absolute gayest HM of all time.
>>
>>736330430
>We've thought it for years
"we" as in redditors, right? Because these were always considered as the better side of the series here.
>>
>>736330478
I grew up with Gold as my first Pokemon game (technically Silver but it got stolen before I even beat it) and I thought Yellow was better even in 2002.

Bro I just meant that Chinchou is in the Hoenn dex, I don't see why Hoennfags would complain about it and not something like Qwilfish instead

I was alive before gen1 hit markets in NA, totally a zoomer. You niggersnare exhausting to deal with. Constantly showcasing your inability to read between the lines. If I played gen fucking 3 I was born before the year 2000.
>>
>>736329436
Johto is pretty shit, but Crystal is still my favourite game.
>>
>>736329436
People whining about Johto's Pokemon being bad is so funny to me because a good 90% of any given game's Pokemon are capable of pulling their weight if you don't play like a retarded chimpanzee. Just last year I did a run of Crystal where fucking Furret of all Pokemon was a solid team member from the very start to the fight against Red.
>>
>he doesn't know furret is considered a top tier by nuzlockers for gen2
>>
>>736329929
I'm a millennial and I enjoyed gen 5 even back then. Gameplay wise it was a big improvement over previous gens and it gave me my all time favourite pokemon (in a non-lustful way), Volcarona. And in retrospect is has only gotten better. It's really a "we didn't know how good we had it" situation because everything past gen 6 has been garbage.
That said my least favourite gen is gen 3, not counting anything past gen 6.
>>
>>736329436
I hated Johto before Youtubers did it.
>>
>>736331256
>in a non-lustful way
the fact you felt the need to mention this tells me your ass is lying
>>
>>736329436
The whole point of these vids is that the YouTuber in question with a team of devs when and made a rom hack addressing all the problems they reported in these vids, is called Crystal Legacy.
>>
>>736331331
You misunderstood. I specified that because if I rate pokemon without disregarding lust, I will obviously rate stuff like Kirlia, Gardevoir, Lopunny etc. higher.

I used to think Crystal was the best way to play Gen 2 but nowadays I agree HGSS is just better. The evolutions that Gen 4 gave to Johto Pokemon makes team building a lot more varied
>>
>>736329929
I have a friend that always said Gen 5 was the best Gen and constantly glazes it and then I come to find out it’s the only Gen he played in his childhood. Everything made sense after that
>>
>>736331854
Gen 5 is the best gen.
>>
>>736331620
Ok then it must be shit.

Where's League of Legends on this?

That list was made before league was a thing.

>>736332430
Well was there ever an updated list?

Any pokemon game with more than 300 mon is inferior slop.

Gen. 3 and onwards is inferior slop to you?

Johto definitely has more flaws than we realized back then, but by no means are G/S/C a "bad game". For me, time has simply dropped them from A tier to B tier. They're still very good.

Also, Crystal's biggest flaw is that you can't catch the Mareep line for some inexplicable reason.
>>
>>736333726
Yes. Legends Arceus and ZA are saved for being more focused and bringing QoL features.

The experience of playing Gen 1 Pokemon and then playing Gen 2 was indescribable. I could try put it into words, but I don't think I can capture the feeling. It was not like it is nowadays where you just get new pokemon, it was the first time it happened and you got an entire new dex. As a kid it was something else.
>>
>>736334893
Yeah if you use an esoteric cheat code that requires a number that is literally impossible to calculate on your own that wasn't known about until the later 2000s. Dumbo.

Nah Johto was always shit. I remember even back then being disappointed. Kanto is kinda shit too.
>>
>>736329436
Pokemon is trash but only retards listen to youtubers.
Their job isn’t to present genuine information but to farm clicks and views for ad revenue. If you watch this shit you’re a turbo retard that falls for the oldest trick in the book: click bait. The reality is that you shouldn’t even be watching this trash anyway. If you like video games you should be playing them.

I can.
>What happened to the magic? Why are these new Pokemon so bad? Why is Kanto so empty? This is depressing, I'm going back to Yellow
>>
>>736335675
>What happened to the magic?
your reddit is showing
>>
>>736335614
only the bargain shop is time dependent, and all you get is some pocket change once a week
>>
>>736335714
That's just how it felt. You had to be there.
