Is it in your top3
>>56458570the bottom 3
>>56458570No. It’s in my bottom 3.
>>56458570yeah best game they ever made
>>56458570Yes it isWish they had rehashed it on Switch instead of just DP
>>56458570It's my top 1. Its systems and mechanics just come together in a way to me that's very appealing.
>>56458570Yes along with BW2 and HGSS.Yes I'm a DS zoomer.
>>56458570yeah easily
>>56458587i don’t think bdsp having the distortion world and glaceon before the e4 would have made it good. it needed to be a full scale remake, not chibi slop
>>56458570I'm playing this game for the first time ever (also my first sinnoh game) and really enjoying it, although the lack of gen 4 pokemon to catch is really frustrating. Why does everyone in this thread seem to hate it?
>>56458638because this board hates every pokemon game
>>56458573>>56458579Mindless contrarians or 300IQ secret knowledge havers?place your bets.
>>56458638>Why does everyone in this thread seem to hate it?only 2 people said no vs 5 who said yes
Reminder Gen IV is 18 years old in 11 days.
>HGSS>Platinum>Fire RedSimple as
>>56458696Give me a single reason to like this game if I don’t have a fetish for staring at random encounters of Kanto Pokemon.
>>56458570It's my favourite Pokemon game!
>>56458730dawn cunny, vs seeker, gliscor
>>56458730>pokemon in a pokemon game is a problem
>>56458721>fire red and not Red/BlueYou know they've made romhacks that fix all the problems of the original red/blue. These romhacks make red/blue the definitive gen 1 games. But whatever I don't expect to change your opinion. (They're call "Shin Red/Shin Blue.)
>>56458739Repetitive encounters in a Pokemon game is a problem.
>>56458730>enter grass>encounter ShinxHmmm last I checked Shinx wasn't in Kanto.
>>56458742>he's still shilling his shitty hack
>>56458744What pokemon game doesn't have receptive encounters?
>>56458758>fixes all the problems of the base game>shittylol
>>56458775Yes.
>>56458781then gen 1 is not for you. simple as.
>>56458768RBYRSEXYSMSSSV
>>56458744Because?
>>56458570Best game in the series.
>>56458730repels exist for a reason. why would you throw out an entire game over one detail that you can completely bypass?
>>56458786Clearly it isn't for you either if you need to change so much about it.
>>56458787>RBYI thought you didn't have a fetish for repetitive kanto encounters?
>>56458570Yeah, but only because the competition isn't that stiff and there are only 3 games worth even a bit of a shit in the entire franchise:>HGSS>Platinum>FRLGAnything else is mdeicore shit.
>>56458845>>56458721Hmmm
>>56458570YeahEmerald > Platinum > FRLG > HGSS(/Crystal?)I think Platinum has more mass appeal than Emerald but that as a piece of media and a mechanical basis, Emerald is superior. It's my favorite regardless.
>HGSS>PLATINUM>FIRE RED/ LEAF GREEN
>>56458792Because it’s a waste of time and turns the game into a chore.>>56458807>dude just use repels and don’t see ANY pokemon so the game is just a shitty generic walking simulator lmao!Ah yes, truly deserving of top 3 games in the franchise.>why would you throw out an entire gameBecause there’s nothing in the game of value.
>>56458573>>56458579this. sinnoh as a region sucks. will never understand why such a dogshit game is so beloved. Aid sooner replay sv or swsh
>>56458868esl nigger
>>56458860What time is being wasted? You can still KO them for experience or EVs.
>>56458730but enough about XY
>>56458928>What time is being wasted?My time, trying to find the supposedly fun parts of this shitty game.>You can still KO them for experience or EVs.Why would I need either of those things when the game has no difficulty?
>>56458570No because I haven't played it
>>56458868>all 3 starters have very fun typings and movesets>cross evos are also pretty fun>better grinding tools than gens 1, 2, 3, and 5>underground for infinite shards, stones, and fossils>Game Corner TMs are very easy to get money forI like it best out of the 2D entries simple as.
>>56458570bottom 3
>>56458868Did brownie get filtered by the Snow? jej
>>56458936>My time, trying to find the supposedly fun parts of this shitty game.This is some Kindergarten tier bants.>Why would I need either of those things when the game has no difficulty?Why do Platinum haters think it's some zinger to question what you need experience for? It's just proof these guys don't play Pokemon games in any meaningful capacity. You probably watch walkthroughs so you can hurry and genwar on /vp/ faster.
>>56458954>This is some Kindergarten tier bants.Appropriate for a Kindergarten tier game.>It's just proof these guys don't play Pokemon games in any meaningful capacityI do play the games in a meaningful capacity. That's how I know it's a shitty game.
>>56458968>I do play the games in a meaningful capacityEvidently not. Your takes have actually been getting worse yawn, maybe you should genwar less and play the games more.
>>56458570Fuck yeah
>>56458976>Evidently notsource?
>>56458936What parts of these games do you find fun if seeing wild pokemon upsets you?
>>56459001Seeing wild Pokemon doesn’t upset me. Seeing the same 4 wild Pokemon spammed constantly through the game because GF was retarded and forgot how to design a Pokemon game does upset me.
>>56459009>Seeing the same 4 wild Pokemon spammed constantly through the gameHow do you reconcile this with saying that RBY doesn't have repetitive encounters?
>>56458996What's your online rank?
>>56459016By knowing that RBY doesn’t have repetitive encounters.
>>56459009Pokemon's gameplay doesn't collapse because some are more common than others. That's a stupid mindset.
>>56458730But I thought Pokémon existing in a Pokémon game wasn't a problem.
>>56459039It does collapse when the game wastes your time spamming the same few Pokemon the vast majority of the game.>>56459042It isn’t. Read the thread.
note how exactly zero people in this thread have actually explained how platinum is good and most of the posts are “j-just ignore the blatant gameplay problems”
note how exactly zero people in this thread have actually explained how platinum is bad and most of the posts are “i-it's a problem because I say so”
>>56459067“The game wastes my time” seems like a pretty valid reason for the game to be bad, sagie.
>cool pokemon >comfy region>fun content>great musicoh man platinum's so good bros
>>56459078Based
>>56459067parroting is an admission of defeat
>>56459075It's not valid. You're not elaborating on anything. Waste time on what? What are you even trying to achieve?
>>56459096>Waste time on what? What are you even trying to achieve?My time, trying to find the supposedly fun parts of this shitty game.
>>56459101Yawnie, by your crap logic, every game is a waste of time. And that includes your darling, XY.
>>56459101You're still not telling me anything, what's the fun part of a Pokemon game to you? It's not a good thing I have to constantly dig answers out of you.
>>56458570It is in my top 1 of all gaming
>>56459102>every game is a waste of timeWell designed ones aren’t. XY doesn’t waste my time because the encounters in each area are unique.>>56459104>what's the fun part of a Pokemon game to youI asked you to provide the fun parts of Platinum and so far you’ve done nothing but go “nuh uh” to the problems I’ve pointed out.
>>56459130This conversation won't go anywhere until I know what your definition of fun even is. "It wastes my time, I can't get to the fun" simply does not mean anything to me.
>>56459130 <--- Here's your fun, nigger
>>56459147>This conversation won't go anywhere until I know what your definition of fun even isI asked you to give me a single reason to like the game. Why can’t you answer such a simple question?>>56459153>can’t put a Pokemon into the PC if a seal is applied to itMan even this feature was tedious garbage.
>>56459176it's cooler than playing fag dress up in gaylos
>>56459176>Why can’t you answer such a simple question?It would be a simple question if it came from any random anon, but at this point I know all your tricks. What you're actually asking is>Give me a single reason to like the game by MY standards.Which is why you are able to shit up the board so hard, no one actually knows what your standards are. I could say "I like these battles" but then you'll go "nuh uh those battles are bad by my standards", I could say "I like these areas" but then you'' go "nuh up those areas are bad by my standards". It's always this round and round bullshit with you. I wouldn't even care if you didn't constantly accuse other people of having inconsistent standards, I swear your standards change every genwar yawnfag. You say USUM is hard in one thread and then say there are no hard games in another, it all just depends on the current agenda.
Oh yawn
>>56459511me when playing platinum
*dilates*
>>56459521and when playing xy
kwab
>>56458570Assuming this is mainline games only, it depends on whether or not I'm allowed to count romhacks. If I am, my top three is: >Renegade Platinum>Rising Ruby & Sinking Sapphire>Blaze Black 2 & Volt White 2If I'm only allowed to count regular unmodified games, then I guess it'd be: >Red & Blue>Legends: Arceus>HeartGold & SoulSilverBut Platinum is probably still in my top 5.
>>56459176>I asked you to give me a single reason to like the gameIt's fun because it doesn't waste my time.
>>56458742>You know they've made romhacks that fix all the problems of the original red/blue.Yeah but they haven't made one that fixes the chiptune earrape or fugly sprites, nor does it add IVs and EVs as they are in gen 3, abilities, a larger, actually organized bag, more PC boxes, gen 2 and 3 pokemon, the better movepools, the new content from FRLG... Yeah, no reason for me to play outdated trash.
>>56459963>Yeah, no reason for me to play outdated trash.Faster, play a historic game, glitches, transfer forward.
>>56459963Why would you want EVs instead of Stat Experience?
>>56459101collect ribbons, take on the battle frontier, dig shit up in the underground, rematch the gym leaders, 7 star restaurant customers, and route trainers with the vs seeker, do a contest, inject kino events, get the black trainer card
>>56458570Top three main series yes, but if we include spinoffs probably not
>>56458570I haven't gotten there yet, I still have to play Colo and XD, Leaf Green, Diamond, then I can play Platinum. I'll report back when I've finished the entire franchise, and let you know.
>>56458570No it’s top 5 though 1 BW2 2 HGSS3 Emerald
>>56458721Very based.
>>56459963>IVs and EVsuhhh why? IVs are aids and while I enjoy EVs for the strategy and specialization they offer with their system, we're talking a game with no online and no battle frontier. why the fuck would you prefer EVs over stat xp in this scenario?
>>56458570Let's see...>BW2>Emerald>HGSS>PlatinumEeeh close nuff
Anyone putting FireRed on their list should be automatically ignored btw. There is nothing worse than Sevii Islands. It's by far the worst remake of any pokemon game.
>>56459985ok but what if my IQ is above 50 and I don't think mashing A at piss easy npcs and grinding for irrelevant minigames is fun?
>>56460046I disregard lists with BW/BW2 and post-Gen VI games in themFRLG is respectable
>>56460049just go play your online slop
>>56460041ARE YOU ME??? >>56460006Wtf
>>56460049Then why are you playing Pokémon at all?
>>56460049Point proven.
>>56459985upgrade the villa until you can fuck cynthia too
>>56460066He doesn't do that either. A quick way to make him abandon threads is to ask him what his online ranking is.
>>56460075Because there are Pokemon games that aren't Platinum that actually have redeeming qualities.
>Ranger>Ranger 2>Ranger 3Too bad, maybe top 10 thoughever
>>56460099that's nice sweaty
>>56460099Please list them
>>56460154>>56458787
>>56460164I'm surprised anything before XY made your list.
>>56460164welp can’t mash A at the battle factory so i guess platinum is better than all of those games barring gemerald
>>56460181yeah let me enjoy the battle factory in platinu->slow as piss engine makes it tedious as fuckyup. definitely top 3 pokemon game material
>>56460185sure does, yepsounds like a (You) problem, sis
>>56458570Never got far in this game and BDSP permanently fucked up my tolerance of Sinnoh as a region so I dunno
>>56460199YWNBJ
>>56460208good
>>56460164Multiple games there don't satisfy your standards.
>>56460227Except they do.
>>56460235RBY and RSE don't have the nu-exp share, so they're automatically poorly designed according to you, and you have spammed playthroughs of using an overleveled Blaziken in Emerald so don't pretend like you haven't argued this.You have said only SM and SV have well designed campaigns so XY and SS can leave your list too.You enjoy only two games, at best.
>>56460235all I see is a bunch of mash a piss easy npc simulators
>>56460175He only does it because he wants older fans on his side. He unironically believes the 3DS entries are older than the DS ones.
>>56460279> RBY and RSE don't have the nu-exp share, so they're automatically poorly designed according to youNope, because they have other well designed qualities. Platinum has none.>>56460285How does mashing A get me through Sky Pillar in Emerald?
>>56460304>Nope, because they have other well designed qualities.I highly doubt it because when you shitpost a storm in exp share threads you make it sound like the entire game is fundamentally broken and you are retarded if you train anything else. I hope you are not about to sit here and tell me about how strength puzzles make up for this. This is why I can't take you seriously, your standards are complete nonsense.
Guys I miss the days when yawnfag would actually yawn, how come he doesn't do that no more?
I miss the days when people didn't have schizopherinia and didn't hallucinate posters out of nowhere.
>>56460304not sure, how does mashing a help me get through candice’s gym lolz.
>>56460334That was a different guy, im not sure how this retard got the yawnfag moniker.
>>56458570Nope, Sinnoh is a boring region
>>56460384dilate alolatroon
>>56458730XYfags sure got MAD
>>56460475*xyfag
>>56458570I actually rate it higher than hgss, second only to b2ORAS was peak online b2 was the best gameplay and replayability after than comes platinum given how much it improved upon DP
>>56458570Yes because I'm not an edgy contrarian
>>56458570Yes. It's the best Pokémon game ever made. The overworld is comfy, the music is peak and the mechanics are all great and I will never forgive the removal of pokeradar in the games that followed. The only problem is slowness but modern emulators can fix that.
It's crazy to think how many mechanics Gen 5 removed only to Gen 6 to bring back.
>>56458570yeah for me it's1) GSC/HGSS2) Plat/DP(they're not that bad)3) FRLG4) RSE5) RBYdon't need anything else
>yeah for me it's>1) GSC/HGSS>2) Plat/DP(they're not that bad)>3) FRLG>4) RSE>5) RBY>don't need anything else
