so friendless people are just fucked?
>>744931813>>>/vp/
>>744931813yes. it's a warning about real life
>>744931813In the 90's everyone was friends with everybody.
>>744932008nobody's parents bought them a link cable thoughbeit
>>744931813yeah it's pretty shitty and gamefreak accidentally fixed it once in Arceus and then went back on it in ZA. They clearly want people who can't get trade evolutions to just suffer.
>>744931813When Scarlet and Violet were still new, reddit guys and YouTubers set up link codes to match up with other people looking to do trade evolutions
>>744931813wait I just noticed... Graveler became reptilian from trading with Machoke, and Machoke got 4 arms from trading with Graveler???
>>744931992>the true endboss of the game was Networking
>>744932039Me and my older brother both had our own Game Boys and we had a linkcable so we could trade.I had a transparent purple Game Boy Color and my brother had the original fat Game Boy. I got the blue version and he got the Red version and we played together and traded often. My brother restarted the game 2 times at the start for me and traded me a Bulbasaur and Charmander so I could have all 3 starters the whole game. I had the best big bro.
>>744931813>catching em all™ becomes impossible the moment they shut down online services
>>744931813Yes, loser.
Wrong board>>>/vp/
>>744931813This would've made more sense.And regarding the mechanic itself, just make trading possible between other in-game trainers not just other players.
>>744931813Yes… sell your friend on a game boy color and buy our link cable… beg your mother… you too can evolve to golem this way…
>>744933565>>744931813Dude.Golem’s fucking retarded
>>744931813My Kadabra was plenty strong anyways.
>>744931813The Rhyhorn evolution line is better than the Geodude line so you aren't missing out on much anyways
haunter is cooler than gengar anyway
>>744931813Just get your mom to buy you a second game boy
>>744934883Fucking bad kid behavior, and yes we had money
>>744931813>friendsYou did it with your classmates back then.
>>744931813What, you don't own a DS and a 3ds to trade with yourself? Fucking casuals, I swear.>BUT, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 3DS GAMESWhy would you play anything from gen 6 onwards? And if you do, just inject, lol
why were so many pokemon types worthless in gen 1? poison, fighting, and rock are some of the worst offenders.
>>744931813Trade evos and versions are totally obsolete and should not exist anymore. There is no logical reason to have different versions for a gen.
>>744935297They didn't give a crap about balancing and apparently PVP was an afterthoughtStill, printing a fucking type advantage chart in the instructions book despite there being only 1 ghost move and 0 fucking dragon moves is kinda retarded. They really gave 0 fucks
>>744932257HOLY SHIT I never realized that
>>744935414Gen 1 had lick and night shade as ghost moves
>>744935514>night shadeDeals fixed damage and it's LITERALLY a seismic toss reskin. Both moves are identical, seismic toss can hit ghosts and night shade can hit normal types. You are just proving even further how little fucks they gave a shit about the balancing.Lick is your sole ghost type move in gen 1, and they also fucked it up by making psychic types be immune to that one single move despite the fact that the type chart and ingame dialogue states that psychic types are actually weak against it.Hands down some of the worst balancing in one JRPG ever. People underestimate at how much GSC revamped the franchise.
