why you didn't buy her in 2011?
>>56933972because the game is low quality
>>56933972>her>50% male
>>56933972>NOOOO! Why didnt you support the americanisation of thé franchise?Keep crying about it Turner
>>56933972gen 5 selling bad has to be the biggest gaslight in the trans community
>>56933972I did. been buying the games since Sapphire. Only games I didn't get myself were SM,USUM,SWSH and BDSP. Pokémon is pretty much only fun now because I have friends I play with.
>>56933972I pirated it and I hated it, still hate it bw1 fucking suck and don't live up to HGSS
>>56933972I wasn't following Pokemon at that point so I wasn't aware they existed.After getting recommended and gifted it a year or two after the fact, I started playing it with only knowledge of the dex and it was easily the worst experience I'd ever had in a Pokemon gane up till that point. Unenjoyable slog I struggled to finish.
>>56934013I also still hate it and only have intensified the feeling years laterhgss also suck though
>>56933972I did and recently bought both the other versions (only gen I have an entire collection). An absolute blast to play and the new dex was a lot of fun. I couldn't put the games down for the entirety of the gen. Community online was also amazing to experience at the time, full of hope and optimism, unfortunately that didn't last long.
>>56933972Gen 4 seemed like the perfect stopping point back then. You have the creator god at the end of the dex and there's nothing left to top that. I did try (pirate) BW in 2011 but the early game was too linear and handholds too much. The tedium and ugly new designs turned me off from finishing the game. Maybe I was just burnt out after a decade's worth of Pokemania by then.Tried it again years later, picked Tepig instead of Snivy this time and it was a blast. I loved it from midpoint to finish. The postgame areas filled me with nostalgia even though I've become a cynical adult by then. For a brief moment, I experienced childhood wonder again. The last area of the game I visited was Village Bridge and the music made me tear up. I love BW now.I finished B2W2 afterwards but didn't like it as much. While there's more content in the game, the main story pacing wasn't as good so I wasn't as immersed in the game as much as BW enthralled me. I love Yancy though, it was nice to have an in-game friend who trades you a variety of Pokemon because I didn't have anyone to trade with growing up. Too bad GameFreak won't ever do something like that again.
>>56933972Cunts were too busy throwing a tantrum over that lack of overrated Kanto shitmons to appreciate Masuda’s magnum opus

>>56933972Did better than PLA and HGSS
bump
>>56933972I did. I graduated from high-school the year prior, and it was like I was playing pokemon for the first time again. It was clever taking the Kanto dex and reimagining it for a whole new continent. The music is the real gem of Gen 5. It's certainly the 'music generation', and has been the standard that I judge pokemon music to ever since.Black2/White2 built upon and enhanced almost everything to near perfection. And then the PWT and Pokestar Studios remain the best 'side games'. I understand the "Pokemon Musical because BROADWAY" design decision. But, i don't know. Fuck the musicals, really. Put contests there instead. I'm not really a fan of either, but I'd take contests over musicals. I like how the battle facilities are distributed throughout the region instead of locked behind a post-game. Sports stadiums for rematches and training new teams after beating the game.The Join Avenue was a great way to put a bunch of PokeCostcos in my game and buy medicine in bulk. Or for EV training, I guess they could put gyms/cafes or whatever. I just had Flower Shops and PokeCostcos.I used to hate Iris being the Champion and being dressed like a kid playing dress-up, when all of the prior champions were more serious looking.But now... what little girl wouldn't want to be a dragon princess? It's cute. I still like Alder better, though.My favorite games never go anywhere. And In the drought of good or even passable pokemon games on switch, it's been nice to go back to them.
>>56933972I was 6 in 2011
>>56933972But I did. Too bad Genwunners threw a tantrum about not being able to use Pikachu or Charizard and the franchise overcorrected so much that people are starting to get tired of constantly having Kanto shoved in our faces 24/7.
>>56933972>why you didn't buy her in 2011?saw the dex online, looked awful
