>A JRPG with depth and strategyThis was novel
Too bad it was the only good game made by GFAnd it's still nothing special compared to other classical JRPGs
>>738159249Final Fantasy is dogshit>Haste>Attack>Attack>Attack>Attack>Attack>Cure>repeatevery fight
No it wasn't, everything Pokemon did was already done by Dragon Quest before it.
>>738159051Said someone who never played an megaten or dragon quest
>>738159051that's a no-sphere grid FFX runpokemon was welded together by retards and is shallow as a piss puddle
i like using the stat changing moves. makes it feel more strategic
>>738159393Megaten was dogshit before Persona 3>dude just spam Zio lmao
>>738159478Okay retard
Does anyone remember the 1990s when the average woman in America was a Christian mom who used to think this game was too satanic for their children to play, but that only made their children want to play the game more? Now it's like the opposite, mothers don't let their children go to church lol.
>>738159378Depends on the game.FF5 is honestly a standout since it has actual strategy and builds.
>>738159539>Now it's the oppositeChristian moms are still murdering children, they just moved it to the middle east.
>>738159051>Depth and Strategy>PokemonLol. Everyone I know who played that shit just dumped all EXP into one or two(usually one) Pokemon and just curbstomped all content like that.It wasnt until EXP share became a passive thing (which pokefuckers LOVE to screech about) that people started to care about their lineup in full
>>738159832People complain about the option being removed.
>>738159832Thats boring and gay though
>>738159051I dont really like talking to 16 year olds about a game their dad played, but it was really novel of them to make a jrpg where you and your opponent can theoretically have the exact same team as one another.No "the gym leader's vileplume has triple health because its a boss fight" or "the gym leader's pokemon cant get paralyzed or poisoned", etc.
>>738159051try playing more than 1 game
>>738160114>It's a good thing that the enemies can't put up a fight!
>>738159249>Too bad it was the only good game made by GFDrill Dozer has nothing to do with the OP
>>738159378pokemon is even easier, you just use 1 strong thing and sweep the whole game even using weak attacks
>>738159051>a 1v1 game with broken stats and made for babies>depth and strategyShit made Dragon Quest 1 look complex
mogged by SaGa (1988) on the same system and it probably wouldn't exist without it
>>738159051>depth and strategyyou literally just win by type advantage or over-levelingfor every game in the series
>>738159378Final Fantasy have great settings, characters and stories, Pokémon is garbage everywhere except music
>>738161097>SagaOnly worth playing to chainsaw god.
>>738159051A Kadabra solos the entire region full of Poison-type shitmons. It's the opposite of depth and strategy. OP has room temp IQ.
>>738159051>>738159378it wasn't that. it was the setting and premise, ie a 10 year old going out and catching animals to fight and the fact it was preinternet and mew existed and the game doesn't hold your hand (it's super easy and if you explore they give you something OP right before each gym) so there were tons of rumors along with the lack of structure, the relative open world aspect in the middle and the general mystery based on rarity and exploration Like Pokemon is obviously still huge, but I don't think you could really recreate it today in the internet era.
>>738159539Why would a parent want their kid raped by some priest?
>>738161116>>738159832Just don't over-level.
>>738159539I don't think you understand just how much fags opened the borders during/after the 1990s. in 1990 the foreign born pop in the US was 19 million, it's now 50 million. the percent of kids with at least 1 foreign born parent went from 13% to 26% and in current year 15% of the population of the US was born outside of the US which is the highest rate since 1890 >>738159634foreigners aren't people
>>738162097>"dude just ignore an option in the game and it's challenging, I swear!!!"sounds like FE8fags that tell you to do sethless runs for the game to not be easyi count every option the game gives me to determine it's difficulty
>>738159051It's really remarkable how Pokémon basically gave the Game Boy an extra life
>>738159051there has never been strategy in pokemon
>>738159051>depth and strategy>AI flips a coin on what move it will use
>>738159051>>A JRPG with depth and strategyOnly if you were a dumb kid that never played a JRPG before.
>>738160793Holy fucking based
>>738159478>Megaten was dogshit before Persona 3literally this
>>738160998On an unrelated note, DQ1 (GBC version, specifically) has become my default game for when I just want to turn my brain off and grind, it really is just the absolute basics at their best.
>>738159051>>738159378>It's another Pokebabs have never touched another JRPG thread and cling to literally babies first JRPG thread
Can anyone recommend a Pokemon game? never played one and don't know where to start.
>>738162515>using legendaries and beating e4 with Zapdos>overleveling >using emulator fast-forward to speed up overleveling>stat-boosting itemsYou didn't beat the game.
>>738159051Hey OP, I remember your retardation from a previous JRPG thread.
>>738162610a gameboy and a copy of pokemon was like $110 in 1998 which would be like $220 in today's money, which is still pretty cheap for a system and game. especially considering that was a super expensive era of gaming adjusted for inflation
>>738163365Play HGSS, the only one worth playing really. Maybe Red and Blue too if you want the original experience
>>738163365FRLG is a good compromise. If not then XY/BW(?).
>>738160881not just the single player game. the mechanics turned jrpg's into an actual duel with other humans.
Pokémon if it wasn't for Morimoto:
>>738159051>depth and strategy???Your starter snowballs in levels and solos the whole game without even trying.
>>738164372Low iq and brown skinned post
All the people complaining about mainline games being easy have even beaten stadium games and the battle frontier?
>>738163365Just play the original and go from there, if you're some zoomoid who cant get passed the clunky old systems start with FRLG I guess. They're all worth playing until you hit 3d era
>>738159051It's just remembering the type chart to use the attack with the color that instakills the enemy. >>738164932Outliers don't change anything. By that logic, there's only 2 and a half good pokemon games.
>>738164932>have you gotten to the highest rank in pokken tournament?? uh didn't think so pokemon isn't easy
>>738165147Its not that changes shit, its about people playing the casual game expecting difficulty when the actual difficulty is on another game or post-game that they can't beat and complain about "muh rng">>738165210This applies to faggots complaining about pokemon being a turn based game that want a "real time" battle system, you always mention pokken and they stop replying to any thread.
>>738161097Yeah.
>>738165427pokken is fun as fuck but I get that people that are bitching about difficulty are more complaining about the singleplayer shit, which is also funny because you can bring up colosseum and they will say something about muh shitmons and mon selection like that isn't an intentional design decision to impact difficulty
>>738159051>no exp shareTrash.
>>738164932>Have you beaten a game that purposefully gimps you if you use rentals?I hardly hear of people having any fun doing stage 2 with rentals.
>>738165759Why use rentals then? You can get bootleg pokemon games for cheap or use emulators that had supported the transfer pack for a decade or more
>>738165750t. the most casual player of the world complaining about pokemon games of all things
>>738165750you never played gen 1Generation IIn Generation I (when the item was known as the Exp.All in English), if it is in the Bag, Exp. All halves the experience and stat experience earned by the player's Pokémon that participated in the battle in order to distribute experience and stat experience to all party members.Half of the earned experience and stat experience is distributed evenly among party members who participated in the battle.
>>738159051It was novel and still is for a JRPG. Eternal reminder that people who believe it's a kids game get filtered by utter casuals on showdown, nonstop. Pokemon is more difficult to master than any SMT, Etrian Odyssey etc
>>738165972>Pokemon is more difficult to master than any SMT, Etrian Odyssey etcSure, but where's this in the games? Aside from BF
>>738166013right here
Retards who think using one pokemon or your starter and overleveling from only using it havent played the games since they were toddlers, they memory hole their starter getting knocked out and having to use items to revive it by sacrificing one of their underleveled shitmons. Probably the least fun way to play. I wanna see any of you who complain about it being a game for babies actually replay rby.
