>what's the matter trainer?
RIDE THAT SURF
>>737893446>TAKEN DOWN WITH ONE HIT
>>737893537damn the animations went so hard. earthquake looks cool as hell
>>737893537Legends say Iwata himself programmed that animation of nidoqueen presenting her tits
kans-e about to fuck up that fake ass poser dragon
>play a battle revolution hacked save that adds proper rentals>it's kinowhy did they kneecap PBR so hard?
>>737894119to incentivize people to buy the handheld games idiot
>>737894119to make you buy a DS and a copy of Diamond and pearl
I lost my pokemon yellow cartridge so I had to use rentals and it was fucking tough man, this game can get brutal if you're using those shitty rental mons with trash stats and movesetsI don't think I ever managed to beat the gym leader castle
Oh it's Weepinbell!
>>737893446How did they make such a soulful game that the mainline series still can't compete with decades later
I'm playing through Crystal Clear just so I can play Stadium 2 at some point.
>>737894454It wasn't made by GameFreak, that's how.
>>737894454the announcer and the animations, they are top notch. The Galar games with gym battles happening inside FUCKING STADIUMS and not having an announcer was such a missed opportunity
>>737894454It would be impossible to make a game like this with custom animations for 1000 pokemon
>>737894661No it wouldn't, they're just lazy as shit.
>>737894661It is, Gamefreak just isn't willing to put in the budget for it despite making games of the biggest IP in the world
>>737894745ok impossible wasnt the right wordunprofitable was, unless they use AI
>>737893537
5 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1I’m not joking.
>>737894767GF doesnt decide on budgets, the pokemon company/nintendo doesGF are just slaves in the pokemon mine
>>737894817>They literally exposed a ganguro with a hypnotic kiss to millions of children and NOBODY noticed
>>737894818yeah thats indeed how numbers work good job
>>737894661that's ok, of those 1000 pokemon only like 300 are not garbage designs or utterly pointless and redundant, so make a game with only the good ones
>>737894818prove it
>>737895014They just did that and it fucking blows donkey dick
I can't phantom why they get HAL to make champions but fucking ILCA of all companies wtf
>>737895290Because they know ILCA is incompetent like Game Freak from BDSP.
>>737894776pokemon is one of the most profitable IPs in history
>>737894454Gamefreak didn't make it
>>737894661The real problem is the length of the animations would get annoying after a while.
>>737895651The thing with ILCA is that they are not devs, they are a support company that helps with assets and shit for games, they just went for them because they are probably the ceapest option and it shows.
>>737895854correct the leaks showed the TPC wants to make things cheap and it works since the revenue is always high
>>737895847Retarded argument, there could always be the option to turn the animations off, game desyncs shouldn't be an issue considering it stops to communicate before after every turn plays out
I like how they fully animated moves that are impossible to learn, like Venusaur's Earthquake
>>737896048It was never turned off for competitive.
>>737896218Are you sure it doesn’t just use the special attack animation? Stadium follows rules like the regular games do
Stadium had a weird bug with freeze, and I can't find anywhere that mentions it. You can't body slam a frozen pokemon, the move just fails or misses.
>>737893446>>737894454>>737894745If stadium 2 was made today you'd all despise it.>only 251 pokemon? holy dexit batman>god fucking damn these animations take for fucking ever, where's the speedup option?>rental pokemon all made as shit as possible to force you into buying the mainline games>can't adjust moves, IV/EVs at all have do that in a different game>can't fuck with held items ingame, have do that in another game also>can't change the music>"wasted time" on minigames instead of more battle shit>>737895290>I can't phantom whyIt's FATHOM, you fucking ape. Learn the language or leave.
>>737896517Nice strawman
>>737896517you can't even english
>>737896710>>737896820>no argument
>>737894454Take a look at which dev team didn't make it
>>737896517>>only 251 pokemon? holy dexit batmanyou are a fucking moron
>>737896319Not the game's fault, also that and the newer games chugging along at sub 20fps in Doubles during VGC Livestreams was fucking embarrassing to see.>>737896517What kind of retarded take is this? 251 Pokémon is also about 64 more than are usable in Champions btw lmao
>>737896873>no Deficiency
>>737896873why do you feel entitled to an argument when you post something idiotic?
>>737895659so? you think all that profit goes back to the dev?
>>737897063>when you post something idiotic?I didn't, you are simply unable to read and formulate basic sentences. You can't and won't ever refute a single point in that post.>>737897004>What kind of retarded take is this?No argument, the /v/ classic.>251 Pokémon is also about 64 more than are usable in Champions btw lmaothere really aren't 251 usable pokemon in Stadium 2. Show me your little cup victory with Weedle. Also, Champions (which is also shit, in its own way) will just have more added in updates.
>>737894661Nobody has ever asked for every move to have a unique animation on every Pokemon. It's a strawman to excuse laziness.
>>737896513...for real? Make a webm
>>737897157I think there is major money laundering going onI also think there's a bunch of gamefreak bootlickers happy to slurp up no effort diarrhea just like you
my faggot brother took our copy of pokemon stadium 2 to college with him and never brought it back
>>737897257>there really aren't 251 usable pokemon in Stadium 2. Show me your little cup victory with Weedle.Nice goalpost move, competitive Pokémon by ots very nature filters out about 98% of any given game's Regional Dex (sometimes National back when every Pokémon was still in every new game), why not just have the same dozen or so Pokémon be the only ones usable in Champions?
>>737894398>Sex cauldron?! I thought that place closed down!
>>737897634Either I'm having cataracts of this is the ugliest filter I've ever seen.
>>737897634That image isn't from Champions, anon...
>>737893446TAKEN DOWN ON THE WORD GO!
>>737893446まだまだ勝負の行方は見えません!!
>>737897738yeah I just grabbed it off of an image search, it looks retarded>>737897769I know they let illiterate kids graduate high school but maybe read the post I made and you'll see it's meant to be an "image example" of the "point being made"
>>737898095brother use to call my dad venusaurI suddenly see it.
>>737898095your dad was a pothead?
THAT was the WRONG POKEMON!
>>737896517These animations are awesome, I would NEVER speedup them. You're a retard.>only 251That's all that existed back then. And they did put them ALL.
>>737895014You're not a real Pokemon trainer if you don't respect ALL the Pokemon.
>>737894661they stopped making new models generations ago
>>737899760
>>737896517This is a pathetic argumentYou zoomers need to try harder
>>737894817It was different time lol.
>>737899898True for all of the Pokémon that appeared in X and Y but obviously they've had to model every additional Pokémon introduced since. The reason Dexcut was embarrassing is because the models from 3DS onwards were meant to be futureproofed so that they'd never need to cut Pokémon.
>>737901351imagine the rimjobs
>>737893446I keep hearing as >a hot battle is unholysatanic panic aaaaaaa
>>737893537She ruined my sexuality at the tender age of 5.
Mewtwo looks the best in his Stadium model to this day. This model makes him feel like his Movie 1 self and I don't think any other game has replicated that.
>>737893537Where's Nidoking's "I love BBWs" shirt?
>>737903053melee?
>>737901351Miley Cyrus TRACED this
>>737903053
>>737903053>>737903438He looks better in the Stadium games and Melee than he ever did in the movies or anime tee bee h. Ever simce the movie they've been giving Mewtwo gigantic hips for no practical reason.
>>737903438Ah yes the game where Mewtwo gets his ass kicked by Jigglypuff.
>>737896140hope condoms are enough to protect against poison point
>>737903053I'm just now noticing the nerve anger appear jesus I know we glaze this game to death but it has so much soul
>>737903053i love him using the kamehameha motion

>>737904240used to main herit may look like a shitty filler mon, but she can learn almost all of the 5PP OP attacks regardless of type
>>737905802what is this?
>>737905802
i still love the animations
Why are the stadium 2 remixes so slowed down compared to their gameboy counterparts?Stadium 1 didn't do that
i remember beating the elite 4 by using kingler and just hoping that guillotine would kill karen's dumbass umbreon before she could set up the paralyze/swagger combo, then swept lance with it too. took like 50 tries and i didn't require any skill
>>737904240does nidoqueen really stand there fondling herself?
>>737896873Lmao...I miss this.
Remember the minigames? The lickitung one was hilarious, and I still remember the groovy drum beat in the clefairy one
>>737893446Kans-e backwards is E-snak
>>737912915Lickitung and Metapod are probably my favorites, the stadium 1 and 2 mini games are a lot of fun with friends
>>737910469Stylistic choice, also most of the youtube uploads and internet downloads of Stadium 2's OST are at the wrong tempo
>>737894661You only need like, 10 animations per pokemon. Punch, kick, body, headSpecial 1, Special 2Entrance, Idle, SleepKOEverything else is generic and can be slapped on top.>But that's 10,000 animations!It's legit not that much more than they already do, and they recycle animations in following gens just as they recycled 3D models.
>>737903589Not sure what Mewtwo's melee viability has to do with what he said but ok
>>737894817Nikki Minaj
>>737910203Damn that's pretty sick if somewhat silly. Crazy that pokemon attack animations peaked in 1999 and have only gone downhill since.
>>737893446Been going through this recently. Thank god for fast forward since doing an entire 8 battle tournament repeatedly gets so fucking slow otherwise. Doing it normally with the voice and all is fun occasionally, but you're spending most of your time watching animations with no input.>>737903053>fight this fucker with a single pokemon>try to toxic him down and just heal>he just spams physic and rests when low hp>figure he'll run out of physic PP eventually>30 turns later he's still goingFucking cheater
>>737894661Do them in batches and each game do a generations worth.But you fags buy it regardless and they know that.
>>737905802This animation is like a decade old now, maybe older.
>>737915939>he'll run out of physic PP eventually
>>737910203the sound effect are so crunchy too, i love the sound of Thunder hitting the enemy
>>737916646Hitting Thunder with these speakers felt fucking orgasmic
>>737894398Taken down on the word go!
>>737917609btw that animationfor that pkm has sfx for the claws sinking into the ground
DOWNTHEY'RE BOTHDOWN
R I D ET H A T S U R F
>>737893446
>>737920152What was the reason Pokemon could be slightly different shades of their base colors again?
Here we go!
>>737920532Naming them gave them shiny colors for some reason
Think this is meant to evoke Godzilla's movements
>>737910203is this real? why did they make venusaur a sumo wrestler lol
>>737910985>>737896513I miss the swirly eyes and X eyes
>>737920609Easter egg, Venusaur can't learn Earthquake in RBY
>>737920554this was more difficult than the actual cups
>thinking about playing pokemon stadium:)>remembering the horriblly shitty rentals and the fact that your imported pokemon had to be maximum level 50 or else they ended up in the level 100 cup:(
>>737920609it was fun
*phtoo*
>>737920554My lvl 100 Mewtwo ought to put a stop to that!
>>737920812that lorelei..
>>737920606Comes off as a kabuki thing to me
>>737894569/thread.
>>737903053He's too fucking smooth nowadays. His sprites and Stadium/Melee got it right.He's supposed to be an unholy abomination; a fucked up, engineered version of Mew.
>>737920572Not shiny but it would fuck with their hue as a fun little thing.
>>737920981Maybe it is. The way he holds his arms just reminds me of the suit actors for Godzilla, plus Dragonite being the general shape.
>>737920238sovl
most infamous stadium match?
.......
>>737920572i think that was an idea they abandoned, pokemon having multiple colours/shades, not including shinies (which were different and also programmed into stadium 2)
>>737921481Pika Cup R2 final trainer, I'm struggling to think of an even more assholish team to create. The only line he doesn't cross is Dragon Rage Aerodactyl
>>737921481lass or gambler

COME ON! HIT!
>>737921496this guy seems... familiar
>>737920152>>737920532>>737920572it's a whole thing reallyvery uniquehttps://bluemoonfalls.com/pages/general/stadium-hues
>>737920836simple but looks so cool
>>737921738either the easiest or most bullshit fight
>>737921470Look out!
>>737893446OH IT'S EEKANS
>>737910203Oh this is Stadium 2 right?Such an expensive game nowadays
>>737922027>Stadium 2 gives Lugia a Crystal-coloured shinyWe got robbed so hard it's unreal
>>737922236AAAAAAA
>>737922546it's even funnier looking at the other legendary shinies and seeing that they are near identical to their in-game counterparts, even back then they knew it looked like trash in pink
WHAT'S THE MATTER, TRAINER?
>>737920238post the mega kick one
a fat hoddle is unbolding
>>737920836CLICKCLACKBOOM
I was 11 when this came out. I still remember the unique feel of this game and what it was like playing it when it came out as a kid.
>>737893537Is this queen like behavior?
>>737896513I wonder if its because body slam is the only move that can cause a status effect that isn't the same type as the status effect it causes.
>>737908990this is literally all it is, if you were hoping for more of this
>>737896513
>>737920609>>737910203this animation is for when venusaur uses earthquake, which it can't actually learn. aerodactyl also has an animation for earthquake, which it also couldn't learn in gen 1.
god I want to emulate stadium again
>>737901351Me when fat latinas are around
>>737920836>>737923865long lost soul... my beloved...
>>737911123it's crazy how many pokemon had animations for attacks they could learn but would realistically never use.
>>737910203Peak
>>737920572actually, the name just shifted their hues a little bit but generally wouldn't make them look shiny. in stadium 2, the nickname will never affect a shiny pokemon's colors.
>>737893446It’s NOT very effective
>>737923972crazy how ever since the main games went 3D, blastoise never used its cannons all the way up until they fixed it in scarlet and violet.
>>737899912>Gamefreak makes a character say this>Then proceeds to give half the mons in the game shit stats and no movesLedyba and Espeon are not made equal
>>737910203he's doing the jiraiya-sensei stance
>WHAT'S THE MATTER TRAINER?
>>737921481I used to get filtered by that bitch with the miltank that uses attract
>>737920750you can emulate stadium in project64 and actually set it up to import your gen 1 ROM pokemon. You can use some kind of save editor to build your team. I mean otherwise you'd never be able to use mewtwo or dragonite since you can't get them under level 50.
>>737921228my kingdom for a pokemon game with 7 mons and 5 attacksi wanted this back in blue days
>>737894119post
>>737894661With all the money TPCi has, absolutely not.
HERE IT COMESTHUNDER
>>737924375>shadmon
for me, it's sushi go round
>>737922027I wonder why the Johto mons seem to generally have much more limited hue shifts from nicknames, pretty disappointing how hard to notice some of them can be in actual gameplay. Really happy my Red Version Rhydon was blue, looked dope.
>>737924769>>737922027fun fact, in stadium 2, smeargle's paint and the spot on its back can be different colors completely independent of its nickname or shinyness. i think it can be green, red or blue depending on some of its stats.
PARECEN FUEGOS DE ARTIFICIO
>>737920750Depends on the mode, only Prime Cup actually forces you to bring Level 100 imported teams. Gym Leader Castle scales the opponents to your highest level team member so you just need to make sure the whole squad is evenly leveled has some good moves, at least for Round 1.
YooOOOoooooohh
When I play Smash Remix I like to play with the Stadium announcer enabled. Some of the triggers are funny, like Crash's up B making him shout BODY SLAM.
>>737893446Unable to be voiced again with hundred more new pokemon and several new skills.
>>737903053If you push A as soon as the Physic flash goes off, you get a critical hit. Same with Thunder and Earthquake.
>>737894745Wrong. Everything is about money. It would become extremely expensive. Why waste money in that shit when they can do it muted like every game the last decade?
>>737893537UOOOOH SEX WITH ANIMALS
>>737894661>>737894454I believe the issue is less the animations themselves (even you can see Stadium taking shortcuts), but the lack of dynamic camera angles or cuts, which adds the missing weight that "sells" the attacks
>>737904240what the hell? kids game
>>737910203ah yes, stoner venusaur. I remember it well.
>>737926542this was back in the 1999-2000 where you could do stuff like this and laugh it off shame too many puritans nowadays
>>737910764you don't?
>>737893446not even a pokefag, this game was kino. mostly because it had those big character models and animations which were like nothing I had seen up to that time.
>>737925578>Doing the Pinser/Scyther minigame in 2 until I got all perfects>Doing the Chansey egg catch until perfect>had to return cart to BlockbusterNOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>737925578I didn't know what these were as a kid but they looked sort of tasty, I thought they were desserts like cakes and stuff.
>>737926956fun fact, in the log cutting game, if you have a scizor on your GSC game, you will play as scizor instead of scyther or pinsir. several other minigames had hidden pokemon as well
>>737894661They could've done this back in the XY days with a team of a few animators back when there was 700 pokemon. they only need a few animations per pokemon and they can easily recycle them. but people like you will make excuses for the billion dollar company
>>737925578When I was a kid. I thought the wasabi was a vat of green radioactive material or something.
did anyone know about the hidden mimic animations for other pkm?
>>737927105call it an excuse if you want, but the long drawn out stadium type animations would get annoying to sit through every single battle during the story
>>737896517Impressive bait
>>737896517there are pokemon in stadium 2 that i doubt anybody has ever used, which effectively means they wasted time animating them
>>737927020you were right, they were various donuts
>>737920368I was a little surprised to learn Sky Attack didn't get dexited yet
>>737927181It's almost like they have had an option to reduce attack animations since the very first pokemon game
>Earthquaking a digging pokemon>Swift-ing a flying pokemon
>>737927736you couldn't turn off animations in the newest game at all though
>>737927820>Earthquaking a digging pokemonthis wasn't a thing in gen 1. not sure it was in gen 2 either.
>>737927862It was in Stad 2.Gen 2 let you do Twister, Gust and Thunder to Fly-ers.
Stop bullshitting, your 6 pokemon were your evolved starting pokemon, the 3 legendary birds, mewtwo, alakazam and dragonite. On target
>>737928036Stad 1 is doable with just Red's team, Pikachu's speed stat lends itself to easy crits and the birds rental moves fucking suck.
>>737904376>Dry, infertile, dusty old hag Stop it anon I can only get so erect
>>737928036Incorrect, only Zapdos of the legendary birds. My starter, Zapdos, Mewtwo, Gengar, Aerodactyl and Lapras
>>737923923Aerodactyl does use the Earthquake animation for Ancientpower in Stadium 2 though
>>737921470Why do all the gym leaders hang out in a spooky castle?
>>737894828>GF doesnt decide on budgets, the pokemon company/nintendo doesthe director of the games has said multiple times that he will keep the team as small as possible because he feels the most comfortable, so yeah, they will never have the manpower to do a good game ever
>>737897662Stop sexualizing Weepinbell!
>>737930309It was supposed to be a nice castle but the air pollution has gotten severe due to the minigame industry nearby.
OH, IT'S CHANCEY
current themehttps://youtu.be/9E0m-DcikDI
>>737922465And for some reason the Jap version is like 14 dollars.
Why is there no pure battle pokemon game with every one available Just let me play with the mons
>>737910203I've never seen that animation before. Cool how they were probably given a lot of creative freedom, which is why we see a lot of Pokemon spinning their heads or melting.
>>737932087SwSh being a shitty 3DS to Switch port sold at a higher markup and still being the bestselling entry until Gen IX proved that people will still pay out the ass for these fucking games despite the dex cuts.
>>737910203that's fucking rad
>>737932087Champions is evidently supposed to have that eventually. I'm curious if they actually intend to include shit like weedle and snom though.
>>737932291I still remember what appeared to be the massive backlash to that and SV’e performance issues, then both games went on to sell gang busters. Modern Pokéfans deserve the slop they get.
TAKEN DOWN AT THE WORD GO
>>737927138anon thats tea...
>>737893901Battle Revolution on the wii has some pretty great animations too. Rayquaza's fainting animation is hilarious.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LieQsnNoEGM
>how will our intrepid challenger fare against the best of the best?>he says as the opponent sends out a Caterpie to face my ArticunoGee I dunno announcer-kun, this might get tough
>>737933741BR has excellent animations. Shame about the game itself. Guess that applies to all of the Genius Sonority Pokemon games. They look good, but the games suck.
>>737933302It's hot, they don't like the heat.
KARP KARPKARP KARP KARPKARPKARP KARPKARP KARP KARP
>>737934243i like how they made an entire mobile game out of this
>>737924994I think I might actually have considered running a Smeargle for Stadium 2 if grinding weaker mons didn't suck in Crystal
>>737926956>perfecton the unlockable very hard difficulty right
>>737893901>Went so hardZoomer retard lingo
>>737932584Well yeah, parents buying shit for their kids aren't going to care about any of that, they carried the sales almost single-handedly despite what you might assume from reading about faggots bragging about how they were buying multiple copies of the games to "combat the chud boycott" or whatever.
>>737907459Yea everyone knows nidoking & queen are good. Fucking retard
>>737893446>>737893704>OOH, IT'S A ONE HIT WONDER!
>>737907459nidoking is literally the main speedrun pick and it and nidoqueen can basically learn every good TM
>>737934965>>737935265nta but it was fun as hell playing Pokémon Red back in '07 and getting that crazy powerspike with Nidoking and all the TMs it learned. Didn't even take any effort like raising a Magikarp or Abra in the early game.
>>737935265I never figured the Nidos were good as a kid because Giovanni's were such pathetic jobbers
>>737935762in red and blue, enemy pokemon have whatever the four most recent level up moves were, so they both had poison sting. this also led to other stupid things, like the rival's rhydon knowing both leer and tail whip, as well as his exeggutor only knowing three moves.
>>737935762Red and Blue's difficulty is all over the place, Misty's Starmie is probably the single toughest thing you fight relative to when you get to the fight and the lategame boss fights from Giovanni to the Champion Rival just use level-up movesets for most or all of their teams. Yellow adjusted the teams and movesets but Giovanni still jobs since Ground is an easy type to beat.
>>737935835There's some exceptions scattered around but it's pretty much always just a single TM like Misty's Starmie with Bubblebeam, Blaine's Arcanine knowing Fire Blast and Lorelei's Lapras with Blizzard.
Among my friend group I was undefeated when it came to the Sandshrew minigame. I don't know how they were so bad at it though, you just spam the L and R buttons in succession.
Man, the more I think about em, the worse two turn moves seem to be. Only useful against AI for the most part and that's only some of the time.
>>737924314>I mean otherwise you'd never be able to use mewtwo or dragonite since you can't get them under level 50.Poké Cup lets you bring Dragonite but you can't use it in the same match with any other Pokémon above Lv50, the Mews are banned from everything except Gym Leader Castle and Prime Cup too.
>>737936351Am I weird for refusing to use evolve Espeon from male Eevees?>>737936354They're all shit, pretty much all of them are worse than just using the next strongest move of their type twice in a row, both of which can be crits. They really should've just made them total nukes. At least Dig had the same power as Earthquake in Gen 1 for some reason.
>>737936354The only good one is Geomancy, and that's because you can cheese it.
>>737928036I've never liked repeating types on my teams with a few exceptions. My last Red/Stadium team was Blastoise, Arcanine, Rhydon, Zapdos, Dragonite and Exeggutor.
>>737936354Fly tends to be the only good flying move for most of the game. In red and blue, it's basically your only option.
>>737936913I don't think I've ever once managed to figure out the drowzee game. I would assume you press the button when it hits the center, but that doesn't seem to work for me,
>>737936920i fucking hated the donphan racingfucking bullshit
>>737937129the timing is incredibly tight and it punishes you for mispresses and missed pressesas it drags on it feels like its not worth pressing at all so you dont get hit by the double whammy
>>737936913>tfw you manage to ring a golden DIGLETTnot my favorite minigame, but that's my favorite part of any of them
>A BRAWL IS SURELY BREWING! YOU'RE UP!
>>737920836don't show this to game freakthey claim it is impossible to depict water coming from blastoise's cannons
>>737937764they literally do in in scarlet and violet though. they also make is so charizard isn't constantly flying too. they basically fixed all of the pokemon that were constantly flying that they've had since XY
>>737937883It's really funny that Champions brings all the permanent flyers back to the way they were before SV, Blastoise Hydro Pump is "fixed" but still looks worse than it did in Stadium.
>>737937993I don't mind the ones that fly by flapping, but a lot of them just floated, like skarmory and xatu
>>737938130Yeah those were so fucking shitty to look at, especially Skarmory since you'd see it in PvP still
>>737938328I look like this and do this
>OHHH THAT HIT JUST THE RIGHT SPOT
>>737939472>RBY had a bug where a 100% accurate move still had a 1/256 chance of missing>stadium attempted to fix this>their solution was to just roll the dice again if the random value was 255>each roll still had a 1/256 chance to missThis effectively meant that a 100% accurate move STILL had a 65,536 chance to miss. As unlikely as that sounds to ever happen, it still has. Some streamer missed a Thunderbolt with their Zapdos despite having no accuracy drops.
Somehow no one posted this one
>>737936354Fly and Dig are fine in the singleplayer because the games are stupidly easy and the AI never switches.In an actual battle, you're basically giving them a free switch-in to a favorable matchup.
>>737894661No one pointed out that they don't have 1000 pokemon per game anymore anyway. Even Champions only has a handful of pokemon.
>>737943370>Digwhat's funny to me is that Dig and Earthquake having the exact same damage in gen1, but Dig is obviously worse as a result. Dig was more just a waste of time than strategic, since they also had the same amount of PP.
>>737943653Earthquake did not affect a pokemon while using dig in gen 1, by the way
>>737943529they do plan to add more pokemon as well as items, but I don't exactly know what that means. a lot of items have weird interactions with abilities and moves.
>>737937129>I would assume you press the button when it hits the center,you figured it out! when the ball shines and crosses the red arrow is the time (which is at the center)
>>737935186look at him go
>>737927862they quite literally teach you about that in Stadium 2 in Earl's pokemon academy
>>737936592you're weird for a lot more reasons than that i'm sure
>>737897801>>737920194yisss
>>737926073yes that's fucking kino and i lose respect for anyone i play with that doesn't love it
>>737945118I never had stadium 2 so i never got to play it with a proper team and my cousin didn't like to do battles just mini games
>>737932584i got shield super cheap for my kids and i didn't like it but they did, we borrowed violet from the library and they maybe played an hour each. i saw them use fly to get out of being stuck in terrain and that had me flabbergasted.
>>737934243KARPKARPKARPKA-KAAAARP~KAAAARP~KAAAARP~KAAAARP~
>>737945458The switch games are so poorly made it's insane
>>737945432>just mini gamesthey are pretty fun. I also like the Poke Quiz, one time my brother battled for an ice cream by a poke quiz duel, it was fun
>>737945602what kind of ice cream was it? this is important
>>737943370>>737943653They're nice to counter the opponent using fly or dig (or something else with a charge like solar beam)So yeah essentially useless if the opponent just doesn't use themThe only other use case I can think of is wasting time for something like poison to tick
>>737936132any kind of button mashing or joystick rotating is always my win every time. i can manage fast consistent finger motions really easy. my kids think it's hilarious when i flip the bird at 10Hz
>>737894661>its just impossible to make a good gameWhat Nintendo does to a mother fucker.
>>737939715i'm sure it happens plenty to people who flat out don't know it's such a rare chance. it's only notable when it occurs in the sight of someone that can recognize it
>>737893446The minigames were peak, being able to play pokemon on a big screen was great, and the announcer kicked ass. https://youtu.be/JVs6YUscLZk?si=HR_WEGVmjnWsv_P6
>>737945579swsh's 'wild areas' in particular were so bad. big open ugly expanses (that aren't even that big) and will project a series of weather effects on your screen in rapid succession if you are simply biking from one end to the other.those areas are part of the reason i noped the fuck out at the MP4 reveal lingering on that empty stretch of desert
>>737943653You get handed Dig right after Misty and can throw it on nearly anything to walk straight through Surge, the Earthquake TM is a while later. It's like the Water Gun TM in Mt Moon as something you're expected to replace when you get better Pokemon and more TM options
>>737945886that is several times more rare than a shiny pokemon
>>737893446AND THERE GOOOES THE BATTLE!
>>737946009that's rad
>>737893537>could you be... craving my nidonuggies?

>>737946245you've missed the point
>>737893446This game has my favourite Hyper Beam ever, especially the sound effect. Makes me sad when it gets ignored for the RBY version.
>>737946810i think my favourite sfx for a move ever is rock blast in pokemon yellow.it is a mess of a noise and i love it
>>737893446Big thing I realized between the old good games like Stadium vs the NuGarbage is the camera angles making it look like a sporting event.
>>737938328me when i am
>>737946612not accurate, the original pokerap showed poliwhirl instead of poliwrath
>>737946927>ooooh but the motion sickness, i can't stand the motion sickness, my weak brain is incapable of separating vision from movement and this means everyone else in the world has to be denied interesting shit as a resultread this in a nasally jewish voice like kyle's cousin on south park or king arthur in that one fairly oddparents episode
Is it possible to get all 151/251 pokemons for the gameboy games using stadium?
>>737947367Only 150/249. Mew and Celebi were event distribution only, you needed to go to toys r us or wherever to get traded one.
>>737947367depends what you mean. there is ACE bullshit to get every pokemon in RBY and GSC
>>737925578YOU NEED JOB!ANY JOB!
>>737894454It wasn't made by Gamefreak, instead it was made by a good studio. The Stadium series is the only time that has happened with Pokemon
>le French accordion music>DING DING >DING DING DING
>>737949404>the only time that has happened with PokemonBro your GB TCG games? Pinball? Snap? The entire Mystery Dungeon series?
>>737949567Loved that music. Most of the minigames had really good music, actually.
>>737949927And Colosseum/go-back-to-reddit

>>737950797>'we thought of it'Wouldn't it just be an homage/reference?
>>737944967ILCA can't even get all of the existing interactions working correctly with what's in the game already, it's so embarrassing.
>>737950878gamefreak doesn't seem to like anything they themselves didn't make
>>737950992You sound like a Sonic fan.
>>737951029no need for slurs ,anon
>>737893446>use stun spores or thunderwave on the opponents team>spam wrapHeh, nothing personal, kid.
>>737894661Sure it would. A lot of the pokemon already share skeletons. You also don't need the same effort across everyone since a lot of shitmon are literally never used.
>>737951095>[Sega] doesnt care for the canon of [alt media], they only care about mandates!I dunnoooo anon....

>>737957146Did all of Round 1 using rentals on the Switch Online version and had fun but I don't think I'm gonna bother with Round 2 any time soon. Might some day though, but it's definitely a unique challenge playthrough if that's what you want from a Pokemon game.
Run you bastards!

>>737920212fat fucking Pikachu
>>737893446The most underappreciated aspect of the Stadium games are the amazing remixes. Some of the best music in the series. They've taken some of these remixes so far they barely resemble some of the original music anymore. Amazing choice of instruments and sound effects too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPJTvAUvsk8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q11h7FC7Kwwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxC-uaw8gOkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8fNtN5Gg1A

AHHHHH!!
>>737893446I think Pokemon Snap is a good game and i would love a romhack in with new areas and the 251 mons (or at least the OG 151) from stadium n
>>737962782they made that for the switch. say what you want but its fun. you get to see stuff like Clawitzer carve new paths
>>737963149but i want it for the N64 and with mons that i care about
>>737963341listen nigger, even if you don't care about new pokemon, this game still has the old ones too. theres even a bit where a pidgeotto catches a maikarp to eat

>>737964934do you have a nintendo chuck?

>>737968659>no nicknames2/10i'll acknowledge you for using farfetch'd though
>>737970090I agree with anon, at least name them. its in lavender town
Nintendo Switch Online version has no alternative to the transfer pak whatsoever, so good luck doing all that shit using rentals.Especially fucking Round 2 on Stadium 2.
>>737970493I have the original hardware... no need for a switch to replay Stadium 2.
>>737968659Pretty based, not a Farfetch'd fan for my ingame runs but I like the design lol
>>737970493What the shit is Nintendo Switch Online?
It's not really a hot battle if Clefairy isn't involved

>>737970061I'm 32
>>737965071thats a hot horse
>>737969569I could, but it would feel wrong to use the Missingno cheat to level them up to 100 instead of raising them myself to 100.
>>737974629shrink THIS
>>737893446Surf, Thunder, Earthquake, Fissure and Guillotine animations are peak.
>>737934618It occurs to me that I've never actually tried training a Smeargle in any of the games, much less tried creating a 'competent' one on cart. How DO you get a desirable moveset for Smeargle before gen 3 introducing double battles where you can Sketch your teammate's moves? Wild Ditto transforming into a Pokemon that has the move? I presume link battles revert the Smeargle to how it was before the battle began afterwards rather than allowing you to keep moves you Sketched during them.
>>737922027Sandshrew is, always has been, and always will be, my favorite pokemon.
>>737975518>Wild Ditto transforming into a Pokemon that has the move?That and the Trainer House in Viridian City after Mystery Gifting a team from another game I think are the only consistent ways to Sketch specific moves you'd want.>>737975147It's better to manually grind to Level 100 anyway to try maxing out Stat Exp, I personally do always just duplicate all of the Vitamins and especially the good TMs.
>>737976863If you're going to grind out stat EXP, you're better off saving the time/effort and just cheating it in. Honestly, it's one of the shittiest mechanics and stat EXP should have been a fixed value that applied across all stats based on base stat total or something.
>>737977084Just the amount accumulated by grinding to Lv100 is good enough to beat Round 2 in each Stadium game so max stats were always more of a vanity thing for me lolBack when I did all of that I didn't want to just hack/edit my team because it was boring when I injected comp mons for Platinum's Battle Tower
>>737966367Hunchcrow
>>737924994>tfw this wasn't a thing in mainline even though every Smeargle is canonically supposed to produce a different color of paint
>>737966367Nidoking
>>737894661That doesn't make sense in a post National Dex world. You're never going to get all 1000 Pokemon in the same game, at most you're getting 300-400. The real reason we don't get announcers is Game Freka is allergic to VA. Even if they weren't, the announcer only makes sense in very specific contexts, like the Galar stadiums.>>737897932It's a terrible fucking example because it's a decade old image that was a major outlier even for its time. Meanwhile in the modern games fucking Watchog was able to make a solid run at a major tournament.
>>737946810Kill yourself slopfaggot.
>>737972175Good, now I'll picture him in my mind as the announcer while I play Stadium.
>>737978837>Meanwhile in the modern games fucking Watchog was able to make a solid run at a major tournament.Yeah and Anon's retarded point was that shitmons didn't count as "usable" because garbage like Weedle isn't viable in serious play. A Watchog was able to do that because it wasn't arbitrarily unavailable in whatever game, that one Korean guy with the Pachirisu made it work but that doesn't make Pachirisu good without a dozen conditions and restrictions working specifically in its favor.
>>737978837>it's a decade old image that was a major outlier even for its time.???VGC Master Finals always boil down to a relatively small pool of the best of the best choices, though tbf I haven't watched VGC since the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon meta
>>737893446Stadium 1 and 2 are the only pokemon games that still manage to bring me that childhood joy. I fucking love this shit so much man.
>>737932087You could!...if you purchased a Beanie Babies merchandize toy as a doll!! Buy all 1000!! And their shinies!!!
>>737935186I wonder if kids, today, know why the psychics like Alakazam seemed to be carrying spoons.
>>737932087That's just Stadium 2. Gen 3 and beyond are all fanfic mons.
>>737936913I instantly heard>Clefairy! Clefairy!!>*tap tap tap*in my head
>>737963149You know what?I think I'll YouTube search for someone doing a (muted) "Let's Play" of Pokemon Snap 2.Thanks for reminding me.
>>737932087That's what Stadium and Stadium 2 were back in the day.>>737932410>Champions is evidently supposed to have that eventually.Highly doubtful, at best it'll end up with probably 600+ with 150-ish available at any one time in a meta rotation system.
>>737975728he is pretty based, Donphan is mine but ground types in general are the best
>>737945876custom animations for every single move for every single monster wouldnt make a new pokemon game suddenly become good
>>737923991You could hack any move on any mon and they would all work. Metronome also meant that they had to do something for a lot of edge cases so they just did them all. Snorlax flying is pretty funny
>>737981862Thanks. I can see your love for Donphan.My parents had a brass armadillo when I was growing up and something about sandshrew and armadillos and pangolins are just comfy, to me.
started playing white 2 for the first time, for some reason the randomizer breaks everything when trying to play in twilight menu which is a bummer because I wanted fastest text and trade evos to be normal but I can just save edit when I need to. my endgame team is gonna be >Electavire>Whimsicott/Amongus, haven't decided quite yet but I have the cottonee already>some kind of fire type, I have Growlithe for now, probably gonna get the candle so I have a ghost/fire special attacker>Heracross (will cheat this in if there's no ingame trade for one)>Crawdaunt, I have the water starter for now>Flygonhonestly surprised at how bad the flying type pool is outside of genies, so I'm using fuckin Flygon as my Fly slave.
>be American brapster> Wrap looks like pic-rel>would shoot the frosting packet straight into my mouthlol
I really wish Stadium 2 didn't have so much AI cheating in it, could have been better than Stadium 1 if that bullshit wasn't in the game.
any emulator that allows u to connect to the gba and n64?
>>737986720Most Project64/Mupen ver. do IIRC.
>>737893446fuck that game was peakdumped so many hours into it no regrets
>>737986684Yeah the AI knowing when moves will crit or activate secondary effects is bullshit, Round 2 also doubles their item activation chance so you can see hax like 3 Focus Band saves in a row.
>>737971680RIDE THAT SURF
>>737986905>AI knowing when moves will crit or activate secondary effectsdo they really? or was that figured out?
>>737893537What did they mean by this?
>>737970913MY FUCKING BROTHER LOST THE STADIUM 2 CARTRIDGE IN COLLEGEI WANT TO KILL HIM
>>737894661>make a handful of animations for each mon that correspond to certain actions>categorize moves>make a basic ID/tag system that let's the game know which animation a mon should use for each move in a category>future proof the models>only need to make a animations for the new mons and formsIt's that simple.
>>737910203Eyes as red as the devil's dick. Did they really make my boy the weed monster? Was that always the intention and I was just too young?
>>737910203>>737911123>>737917609>>737920212It occurs to me that making all these unique animations actually isn't possible now since they have 1,028 of them. It is much more feasible when there are only 200ish.
>>737946810breed yourself slophetero
Hey this thread's nearly full.

>>737996214>then you didn't want a new one in the first placei feel like this can be said for almost any sequel that came out decades later
