I literally changed from Set to Shift just for Steven because it was unwinnable without spamming X-items or healing to stall PP. My rankingGSC > RS > RBYBut all have too many problems to actually be fun to play. I would never replay these games unless it was on a emulator with speedup. Hoping the next games are better (will play the Gamecube games then DP).
>>56879884>cant fucking find FeebasI legit never had a Milotic until they just let you catch a wild one in Gen 5.
>>56880090>>56879884why do they make feebas hard to catch? Is it because they know people want to fuck milotic?
>>56879884>cant fucking find FeebasI’ve done it. It only takes a few hours. Just fish each tile twice and you’ll get it eventually. >cant get Metagross until post-gameYep. Gotta use some other mons. Aggron is a good alternative.>Bagon available too late to matterI suppose. I’ve still used him.>all grass types are trash including the starterSceptile is good. Breloom and Ludicolo are fine.>Trapinch line is shit until level 45 (not even in time for the Elite Four unless you grind)45 is not a big ask for the E4. You’re fairly underleveled.>ONE (1) good physical attacking TM, and its not reobtainable>ONE (1) good Psychic type (GSC had multiple)Plenty of usable moves in the game.>no good Ghost types (they include a bunch of Kanto mons but no Ghastly line and nothing to replace it?)Dusclops is not bad.>Fire types are shitI’ll give you this one, but Torkoal is still cool.
>>56880295Overall there are plenty of good and usable mons in the game.
>>56879884You’re gonna hate DP. The Elite 4 level curve and most the new evolutions locked to the post game.
>2024>still playing the first and not third versions of the gameswhy
>>56879884>Trapinch line is shit until level 45 Zoomer/Gen-Aplha/retard alert
>>56879884>ONE (1) good physical attacking TM, and its not reobtainableEarthquake, Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb are good. Return is also good and you can get one per week.
>>56879884I only have a problem with this now because I've played Hoenn so many times that I've basically used everything. but it has plenty of teambuilding options for a few solid playthroughs. don't be afraid to use shitmons, some of my most memorable runs have been with weird random Pokemon like Minun, Slaking, Lunatone
If you have a Smeargle, there is no TM beyond your reachAlso, there are quite a few decent Grass types, like Roselia, Oddish, and Sceptile... Ludicolo takes a bit of effort, so I can see the issue there, also Breloom, even with its middling Special Attack, can handle things fine as a mixed attacker in the campaign. Banette is one of the strongest Shadow Ball users available, and Dusclops can tank anything the game tosses at it, and can actually dunk on Drake's Salamence with Ice Beam despite its shit offensesLike pretty much any other Pokemon game, your definition of "shitmon" depends on how creative you're willing to be with your TMs and team composition
>>56880301On paper and cheating a bit with dual types evolutions possibly later down the line, I recall you can get at least 3 of every type bar Ice/Ghost/Dragon by Flannery. There are holes in terms of stat archetypes for sure- no Gastly, the good bugs are much later, no true speed demon fighting type, Slugma isn't great, the two ice types are blah. But you have stuff to work with.
why do people still play the non 3rd versions in current year
>>56880858Sludge Bomb is not good as it's only super-effective to Grass which already has way too many weaknesses and just a few mons can learn it, most of which are poison types (very frail typing back in the day) and it's not worth using it on any mon who doesn't benefit from STAB Sludge Bomb
>>56881135Sludge Bomb was unironically one of the best options for dealing with Wallace's Ludicolo... also 30% Poison chance isn't bad for wearing down bulkier enemies
>>56879884>no good ghost typesshedinja would like a word with you
>>56879884>I literally changed from Set to ShiftFunniest part of the bait
