Why does FireRed and LeafGreen feel so lonely and depressing despite being good games? Compared to Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald which feel a lot more alive and joyful
>>737722487LIMINAL
>>737722487it's probably the large swaths of single color that make the overworld look really flat and empty
>>737722487You should be playing the originals.This trash is for kids
>>737724575How old were you when the originals came out? I was 3. This shit was always for kids.
>>737724690You will always be a newfag
>>737722487FR/LG are not good games(that fucking turning movement was AIDS) and hell the entire GBA era of Pokemon is the start of the decline of Pokemon. Dipshits just started removing good features for zero fucking reason.
>>737724856>Dipshits just started removing good features for zero fucking reason.What features are you talking about?
>>737722487RSE were made to look like that so it feels right. FRLG are trying to emulate the experience of a Gameboy game on newer hardware, and the copy-paste of Kanto with a fresh coat of paint doesn't work on GBA. That and FRLG are just bad games compared to RBY, GSC and RSE. They were the first bad Pokemon games.
>>737724856this
>>7377250281/2 Nonsensical changes >more version exclusives added, which is objectively a terrible change (e.g. Psyduck, Shellder, Slowpoke and Staryu are now version exclusive mons, wtf) >there are also now pseudo exclusives that didn’t exist before, e.g. in Viridian Forest, Caterpie is rare in FR, meanwhile Weedle is rare in LG >Giovanni’s ace changed to Rhyhorn (even though he literally had a Rhydon in RBY?????????) >Bruno’s ace spoiled - random Bikers on Cycling Road now have Machamps for some reason Removed Gameplay >no day/night cycle >no days of the week >no berry farming >Golbat and Chansey friendship evo gated off until the postgame (despite the fact that you could just press ‘B’ to stop it if you wanted to) >Eevee friendship evolution IMPOSSIBLE in these games (because no day/night feature, seriously why is this bare minimum feature NOT in the game?) >breeding gated off until the postgame >basically any good feature from Gen 2 is removed or MAY be available in the postgame if you’re lucky Music >several music tracks copied and pasted from RSE (S.S. Anne, Victory themes etc.)>half of the music is remixed into a different key and sounds worse as a result (e.g. bike theme changed from C Major to F major, why the fuck?) >half of the music goes way too far with drums going full schizo mode in some tracks >a few tracks even have parts that are slightly out of tune Baby mode >pressing L or R at any point in the game will bring up a ‘Help’ screen to baby you through the game (basically the Invicibility Leaf of Pokemon)
>>737722487What the fuck are you talking about?
>>737725028>>7377255252/2 Other retarded bullshit >the roaming Legendaries Raikou and Entei are bugged - if they use Roar, they now count as ‘defeated’ and you can no longer find them + they’re guaranteed to have low IVs if you do catch them >rather than creating a cool 2nd region which would have significantly increased the quality of the game, they instead decide to give us the ‘Sevii Islands’, which is just 7 shitty islands with hardly anything to do >despite adding Gen 2 Pokemon into the postgame for the Sevii quest, half of the fucking mons aren’t available to catch (e.g. Houndour, Chinchou, Mareep etc. etc.), yet the NPCs do have them, which is a huge middle finger to the player >a lot of the suspense of some of the cutscenes falls flat due to the manner in which the text loads in, for example when Lance reveals that you are not in fact the champion yet and have to beat your Rival first, or when Rival emphatically claims to be the most power trainer in the world - the dialogue just appears in the textboxes, and doesn’t make good use of pauses between phrases for effect >Altering Cave is an unfinished cave that just has Zubats and literally nothing else >VS Seeker doesn’t fucking work in caves and buildings lmfao
>>737725571>>rather than creating a cool 2nd region which would have significantly increased the quality of the game, they instead decide to give us the ‘Sevii Islands’, which is just 7 shitty islands with hardly anything to doJohto did this, and the quality of the region suffered immensely because of it.
Because you're playing Pokemon into your adulthood and realize that you're probably going to be alone for the long run and it makes you feel lonely?
>>737722487This is before they started adding more friends and higher stakes plots. Kanto is about Red, alone, fighting street level goons. There's almost no supporting characters compared to later games. You have one rival and he's always ahead of you. Gym Leaders and Elite 4 don't get involved in the plot. No Champion to watch over you. No gadgets like the PokeNav or Rotom Phones. It's a very pure and simple experience.
>>737725620>Johto did this Based Johto >and the quality of the region suffered immensely because of it Incorrect It's time to accept that FRLG are bad games/Gen 3 is the end of the SOVL era.
>>737722487think for 5 seconds, they're near 1:1 remakes of old cheaply made game boy games, RSE were new, made for GBA.
because you're an adult in the information age your ape brain just knows this is ass without multiplayer and latest graphics
>>737725710>IncorrectNo, correct. This is garbage.
>>737725991Those are all great Gym Leader teams, much better than Gens 3-9. What is this image supposed to prove?
>>737725038kek
Oh, yawnfag is here.
>>737726063>great Gym Leader teams>Two magnemites and a steelix
>>737722487I hate how NPC dialogue is either “I sure do love Pokemon!” Or “Press Start to open the menu”. It breaks immersion like nothing else.
>>737726063apparently it's supposed to 'prove' that the leaders don't have any Johto mons, despite the fact that half of them have a Johto ace there's no point arguing with this guy btw, he's a known bort spammer from /vp/ that lurks the site 24/7 ready to screech at anyone that likes Johto/bring Johto up out of nowhere in the middle of a thread that wasn't even about Johto
>>737726118>two Magnemite to lul the player into false sense of security >suddenly a giant steel snake + level spike out of nowhere Yeah, I'm thinking that's a great team
>>737725525>breeding gated to postgameWould be busted for Kanto and also makes gen 2 babymons which goes against the kantomon only rule for the main story>no gen 2 evos until post gameI used to agree with this but the game is trying to replicate rbys progression and mon selection, you should feel restricted with the choices available since you only have access to ~60-80 mons and only about 15 of them are actually viable.>no second region instead shitty 7 islandsEven if they did add Johto it wouldve just been another glorified boss rush just like in gsc. I did enjoy isles 4-6 for the added post game quest that loosely connects the plot to the gen 2 games. Isles 1-3 and 7 are hot garbage though. All the islands desperately needed a handful more routes and dungeons to fill in the missing johtomons. Everything else you listed I agree with
>only half of them have a johtomon ace>in johtoWhat a dogshit region. This is why nobody takes West KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO seriously.
>>737726605>kantomon only rule for the main story Yes, this is my point - it's a BAD thing to make it Kantomon only for the main story. >you should feel restricted No I shouldn't?
>>737725991This is terrible, holy fuck
