Why do I like the original Pokemon so much?
>>737844123Your imagination filled in the gaps.
I miss him.
>>737844123Nostalgia. They were unironically worse games even compared to the shitty switch launches. It's fine that you do no one is forcing you to switch games.
>>737844123It's the most thoughtfully and carefully designed game they ever made, despite the glitches and bugs.It's obvious when you play it.
You tell me
>>737844123SOVL
>>737844219Not every thread with a gameboy pokemon game in the OP is your general claudefag.
>>737844123It was something you played back when you were happy. So seeing it reminds you of back then.
>>737844123for me its Shield
>>737846493I've never played Excite Bike. Is it good?
>>737844545Absolutely no.Gen 1 was a pure passion project from Tajiri, from Gen 2 it became a soulless corporate franchise
That's not the original. This is literaly rev3.
>>737847178It was never a passion project you stupud faggot. It was ALWAYS meant to be an IP to drain money out of kids. Nintendo quite literally spent millions to ship it world wide. You can stop trying to push this retarded narrative you read on reddit.
>>737844123Autism, probably.
>>737844123I don't know, why don't you tell us?
>>737847727>Indie game with 6 years of development hell>IP to drain moneyMaybe after Miyamoto proposed the two versions, but it was born as a pure passion project.
>>737847727>stupudl
>>737847591its effectively the same thing, the only noticeable difference are the new sprites
>>737844123sometimes the simplicity of older games make them better.
>>737844123No natures no ivs or evs just pure simple fun
>>737847178>le ebin passion project>Steals designs from dq>Steals gameplay from smt>funded by nintendoKek
>>737848089>no ivs or evsthey actually do have their own version of that though. it's slightly different but it mostly works the same way
>>737848128DQ steals designs from Japanese folk lore, the same place Pokemon does.
>>737848128Good artists copy, great artists steal
What happened to Claude Plays Pokemon anyway? I see the stream is offline. Was AGI achieved?
>>737844123>Simple and direct gameplay>Short and sweet>Technical marvel for the gameboy system>Iconic soundtrack>The great pokemon designs>The spooky shit>The sprites have a weird and unique art direction>The infamous missingno glitch>The pokemon trading/battles with your friends of that timePokemon 1gen and 2nd Gen are probably the best pokemon games you will ever play, because the formula is at its purest, and because gen1 and 2 has the coolest pokemon and characters in the series. Yes, these games are tied to a franchise that lost its way, but these two pokemon games came from the era where the Pokemon franchise was at its freshest and at its most creative.Im pretty sure (You) still keep a pokemon red rom on your phone or your handheld emulator, and still play it from time to time.>But muh balancePerfect Crystal and Pure RGB fixed that.
>>737844123its the only truly original game in the series every pokemon game from here on out is the exact same
>>737848695Based
>>737848089none of this has ever matteredits a little spice for the min-max autists and nothing more
>>737844123Pretty much the whole game is urban. It's an adventure that feels like it could take place in your backyard. Other games, even gen 2, are way more about trekking innawoods and other natural places.
>>737844123I think gen 1 designs are the best. When gen 2 came out I took one look at it and thought, "What the Hell is this shit?" Gen 1 Pokemon don't feel like they're trying to look aesthetically pleasing, they just exist. Then all of a sudden everything is cute or cool and it feels like pandering.Like no one would look at that fucking Pidgey and go, "OH MY GOD, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!" but that's precisely what makes me like it. Even the cute gen 1 Pokemon look kinda' janky, they're not walking mascots, they're animals. Just compare starters from each gen. Gen 1 sticks out like crazy.
it has a clear high quality vision that it executes on perfectly. man wants to make a game about the excitement of going bug hunting, an act of exploration and discovery that is innately appealing to kids. the world you explore is one that balances right on the edge of familiar and alien in a way that naturally aligns with a child's imagination; charizard is an excellent example. as a starter, you get charmander, who is mostly just a little lizard guy. Kids are familiar with lizards, it's feels natural that you might catch one and bring it home. That it might grow up to be a dragon is equally natural as a direction of daydream.The plot of the game is also naturally within the realm of normal playtime imagination, switching intermittently between competitive fighting and cops and robbers. It never drags you along to anything, simply exploring at your leisure leads you through the natural progression of the game. The typing system is simple, but presents the kind of puzzle that kids delight in, and that makes overcoming obstacles feel rewarding.Like, genuinely, it's just a very tight, focused game. Legitimately one of the all time great pieces of design
>>737848695with gen 2 i think you can justify this on the basis that it really is a direct sequel to the first games. it makes sense for your second game to just be a straight up iteration where you can add all the stuff you wish you'd done the first time around, and execute on all the lessons you learned.gen 3 really has no excuse though, masuda was just terrified of fucking up and didn't know what made the series so popular, so he just cargo cults it
>>737844219Life just isn't the same without Claude looping in the background and the thread shitting out OC.
>>737844123aesthetics
>>737847727Pokemon was expected to fail.
>>737847727>It was never a passion project>made by a developer that was born out of a game magazine>Completely broken and basically ran on its system being held by hopes and dreams to the point constant fixes and reviews were made along the way to the point every gen 1 pokemon game is different one from each revisionNigger, shut up. You're way too dumb to even write properly let alone argue about anything.>>737848128>Steals gameplay from smtAt what point pokemon buy and fuses demons?
>>737850367>At what point pokemon buy and fuses demons?Damn those posts about gen1 and 2 spammers being third worlders were true
>>737850367>pokemonthere are several pokemon that can fuse now. Kyruem, Necrozma, and Calyrex being some of them
>>737844123Autism?Honestly theyre alright but dragon quest monsters 2 was better.
>>737844123Sprou was too good for this world. I do believe DomeGods won and helixsissies were btfo?
>>737850501>there are several pokemon that can fuse nowKeyword: now. Also; Kyurem was more of a being complete type of thing. There's no pokemon beyond B&W2
>>737849606this is why Gold & silver are the perfect expansions.
>>737849606What do you mean by cargo cult
>decide to play emerald>make a team>by the third gym i realize my whole team dies to one electric pokemonsend help
>>737851023basically doing something you saw work without understanding why it workedhttps://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm
>>737850367Masuda and company spent al their savings and risked it all for glory and fame. It is literally documented, you just can't deal with it. If it didn't work, they would have ended homeless.
>>737848695How can I add this to my game?
I wish my brother didn't steal my pokemon games from that era. I'd be playing them right now on original hardware.
>>737844123Simplicity, would be my guess.With the original games you very much knew what you had to do to get a good team together.Subsequent entries just added unnecessary bloat.
>>737851570And what exactly stops you from buying a gbc and a flashcart?
>>737851525Nta but https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/20257-busty-may-serena-mod/
>>737851586i don't really agree with this, for all that the focus on the competitive scene destroyed the single player jrpg aspect of the series, the more complex battling system is undoubtedly fun. when it gets used in romhacks that really take advantage of it, it can create some very fun gameplay
>>737851457>spent al their savings and risked it all for glory and fame. It is literally documented, you just can't deal with it. If it didn't work, they would have ended homeless.Confirmed as passion project then.>spent all their savingwild it paid off
>>737851613Shut up emu cuck. It's not the same.
>>737851717Oh I am arguing with an idiot. I'll leave then.>>737851719kill yourself, poorfag. You could easily buy them if you weren't poor.
>>737851719i would understand this if you were talking about the hardware, but a flashcart on a real gameboy is exactly the fucking same
>>737844123I prefer this version
>>737851780>xhe's coping
>>737851141>cargo cultdescribes this whole series. gen 5 was "too much" cargo cult, everything since is just fiddling with the dial
>>737851780>p-poorfag! I own every GBA pokemon game. I bought them for like 30 bucks in 2010. Now they're worth HUNDREDS. I'm anything but poor.
