If you still have access to your account on the serebii forums you can go back pretty far in the boards history and see the stupid shit people used to post back in the day
>>57177782How is that stupid? He's literally describing the current dilemma where using traded Pokemon is unsafe because you cannot verify that they weren't hacked/won't get you banned from tournaments.
They're right about trading, the ease of spreading cheated Pokemon has invalidated a lot about what made legit trading fun
>>57177792>>57177794The point is that it was dumb as shit to suggest that Pokemon shouldn't be online when it was the first generation released on the DS which used WiFi as its selling pointPeople seriously considering that were stuck in the past/poor like this guy
>>57177825Wait you can't play DPP on the GBA? Then what the fuck is this?
>>57177831If you can get DP on the GBA then maybe one day you can get GSC on the DS
>>57177825This one is fair, the Game Boy lasted 11 years in the US. Even GS (2000 US release) were GB-compatible. GBA also ended up being an anomaly in the long run-- only handheld console not to have 2 gens of Pokémon, which is funny to think about now.
>>57177825That sounds reasonable as pokémon released late into console's lives. I think B2W2 releases when the 3DS was already out, not really unreasonable.
>>57177839Another prophetic comment, that's literally what happened with HGSS.Idk all those commenters seem spot on
>>57177782God I'd forgotten people actually talked like this
>>57177893Er meh gerdDA MEMOREZZZ!!!!Early 2000s were da shit
>>57177893>Talks like a retard>BannedHoly kino, we still have issues with schizos like yawnie.
>>57177866GBA was badly handled by Nintendo and came at a awkward time when PS2 took the world by storm and Pokemania was at its last stage and still on a last gen console. Little reason to buy a GBA early on unless you were into more niche franchises like Megaman Battle Network and Castlevania.
The origins of Pokephilia
>>57177921I want to dig up the old reactions to when Dialga and Palkia were unveiled.People speculated Ash was gonna leave because none of the anime promos showed him until like a week or two before DP came out.
>>57177921What insane drivel. Please kill everyone who existed during the early 2000s
>>57177924Both Dialga and Palkia have awful designs, so I imagine they'd catch a lot of static.
>>57177930I remember the usual "they look like digimon" and being pissed when they found out they'd have Pressure as a ability.
>>57177926That would be zoomers, they have always been the cringiesr faggots
>>57177924>>57177930A very lo-res image of that month's CoroCoro was leaked and so our first glimpse of Dialga/Palkia was a pixelated mess. We could just about make out Dialga but we couldn't even comprehend what we were seeing with Palkia.
>>57177936Those are literally millennials in every single one of posts lol cope cringe lord
>>57177943Millenials dropped the pokémon series when Ruby and Sapphire came out and dexcutted their bros.Hoennbabies and sinnohfetuses are zoomzooms
>>57177936The oldest zoomers were born in the late 90s, they weren't on message boards in 2006. Everybody posting this cringe shit back then was a millennial. I know because I was one of them.
>>57177950>t. 1996 Zoomie
>>57177948The only way you can think this is true is if you are a 'zoomzoom' yourself, or worse, a Gen Alpha, otherwise you would know that the core Serebii user in 2006 was a millennial teen that shopped at Hot TopicZoomies had Gen III/IV as their first games but they weren't posting about them on message boards
>>57177936How many 6 year olds do you think were posting on Serebii?
MOREANIME
>>57177893It's depressing the state of everything has just stagnated so much. People were excited with all these new IPs that a low quality franchise like Pokemon became a passing fad, now it will never happen again.
>>57177964This, zoomzooms were eating up anything Pokemon related, at most their sole internet exposure to pkmn would have been google images or fansites, not forums.I was buying magazines and cards then.
>>57177972Pokemon could have been a passing fad, except that no one ever made a better monster catching and exploration game. Like imagine if MDK was forever the peak of shooters. Or TECMO Super Bowl was the best sports game ever. Pokemon somehow never found actually good competition within its niche, so its perpetuated itself forever.
>>57177941Found the pic. Was exaggerating a bit with how incomprehensible it was but you can imagine the confusion when this was our first look at them
>>57177969DPP released in 2006, oldest zoomies were 11 yo
>>57177964Most of the posters ITT were millenials, the banned brainrotted tard who quoted family guy was a zoomzoom.Now we know ot wasn't tiktok which brainrotted a gen, they were already damaged from the start.
>>57177970Fucking torrey_the_demon_trainer ruined everything
>>57177995later ytps, mlg and garrys mod videos like Sonic Zombie brainrotted zoomies
Millennials are mega cringe. Just look at 4chan, reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, etc
>>57178004>buckbroken zoomzoom vagueposts and refuses to replyKwab
>>57178007You couldn't fit anymore buzzwords in your post, even if you tried

>>57178007barzoople
>>57177992How many 11 year olds do you think were posting on Serebii?That small of an age jump doesn't change anything. Everyone posting was at least a teenager.
>>57178018Politicians must have finally turned off their botnets.
>>57178046All of those commenters are correct. Millenichads win again
>>57178046Why did they add an N to shaymin / Sheimi's english name anyway
>>57178046Luvdisc is great, that guy's a retard.
>>57177878Everyone knew there would be gen 2 remakes coming along. From Jasmine appearing, Red Gyarados mention, many gen 2 mon getting cross evos and then when people looked through the games code, "faraway place" existed as a placeholder.Especially in later 2007 once the games were in English and codes came about, people online pretty much caught on by then that gen 2 remakes were an inevitability - people assumed they would come after DP though back then.
>>57178097There was a very vocal faction, though, that were adamant Gen II remakes would never happen. Their logic was that FRLG only existed to make Pokemon that weren't in RS obtainable. Combined with Emerald, Colosseum and XD, all Johto Pokemon were technically obtainable. Therefore remakes of GSC weren't necessary.When they were eventually BTFO, they moved on to saying Gen III remakes would never happen. After ORAS happened, they mostly shut up, although we still have retards to this day who think BW won't be remade.
>>57178122I remember one thing people in forums would do is make their sig "showing support" for gen 2 remakes and the sig would ask other users to copy the sig, that's how heated the debate got. I also remember people thinking there was a "pattern" established with gen 3 meaning we were gonna get HGSS after DP. Of course, Platinum happened and that's when the sigs and denial got full tilt.Then the Spiky Eared Pichu ending and Johto starters in trailers for Arceus appeared and then Pokemon Sunday having those gold and silver balloons in I think April or May just confirmed beyond all reasonable doubt.
>>57178131It wasn't spiky eared pichu it was pikachu colored pichu first.
>>57178183Based and yes Ranger looks way better.
>>57178184Spiky Eared appeared in the anime in April 2009. Pikachu colored Pichu wasn't distributed in Japan until June 2009
duskull is an evolved sunflora btw
>>57178337Pikachu colored Pichu was datamined when Platinum came out. Spiky eared appeared first officially but it was PC Pichu that was discovered first. Between that and Ranger 3, they were really obsessed with Pichu towards the last half of gen 4.
>>57178046>Pokemon stopped being good when I aged out of itZoomers will deal with being the old sticks in the mud for not liking the Switch games soon
>>57177782He's 100% right about the first point, and the second mostly just looks dumb in hindsight.
>>57178341>Sunflora: キマワリ (Kimawari)>Duskull ヨマワル (Yomawaru)KWAM did Mista Merricku just look at the names and think they were related?
>>57177825He's right, Pokemon should have never been online. It ruined the games, they should have continued the stadium series as a standalone to minimize the damage to the mainline games.
>>57177992*9 yo
>>57178046I love the schadenfraude johtoddlers are now experiencing with everyone calling Johturd out for the inferior product it is, whilst Highenn gets lauded as the real peak of Pokemon.
>>57177924>People speculated Ash was gonna leave because none of the anime promos showed him until like a week or two before DP came out.Those speculations were mostly because this was the first DP anime poster we got. It was a very logical thing to speculate at the time.
>>57178388My guess is some nip made the connection and Joe didn't realize it was just speculation while machine translating the comment. It does SORT OF make sense when you look at the names themselves, they basically mean "day-roamer" and "night-roamer".
>>57177903>eceleb obsesserNo one cares.
>>57178447hoennbaby is delusional, more at 11

>>57177825>The point is that it was dumb as shit to suggest that Pokemon shouldn't be online when it was the first generation released on the DS which used WiFi as its selling pointHe was saying "shouldn't", not "wouldn't". It wasn't that he believed there would be no internet in DP, but that he thought it was a bad idea.He was right about the hacks affecting tournament players and polluting the online environment at least. His other points were pretty stupid though. He clearly didn't put enough thought into how the system could work.>picMan it sucked when the DS came out and people I knew wouldn't upgrade. Seems almost laughable know when you consider how much the system ended up selling but every generational switch loses some people.
>>57177904And when you consider how it was basically a remake and port machine. It had half a dozen Mario platformers and they were all remakes (the Advance series) or ports (NES classics). Outside of the eReader levels in Mario 3, there wouldn't be a new proper 2D Mario until the DS.
>>57178097I remember Bulbapedia having a "GSDS" page filled with "proof" that Johto remakes were coming. There were the big ones like what you mentioned, but then there was petty shit like "the floor in the Pokémon Centers in DP are colored gold and silver". Unsurprisingly it was written up by TTE, the same admin who spammed his headcanon about Cyrus being in the 12th movie with Arceus when it was announced.>>57178122>There was a very vocal faction, though, that were adamant Gen II remakes would never happenI don't remember that faction at all>Therefore remakes of GSC weren't necessaryWhereas the ones who wanted the remakes made the point that GSC are themselves incompatible with the modern games, and that with their internal batteries all dying around the time, that they were now basically unplayable.>they moved on to saying Gen III remakes would never happenYou misunderstand. We didn't WANT gen III to get remade because they didn't need remakes. And looking at ORAS, we were right. The era of remakes should have been over by then.>although we still have retards to this day who think BW won't be remadeOh wow, an actual Khuck. You do know with the leaks that BDSP weren't even planned, right? Game Freak's internal documents said with LA they hoped to express past generations with new experiences. BDSP were a late addition likely wanted by TPC. The same TPC who said that those remakes damaged the reputation of the brand. And you still think we're getting BW remakes? Or rather what sickens me most, you WANT BW remakes? After seeing remakes get progressively worse? When it's nigh impossible to incorporate B2W2 into one set of remakes? You're part of the problem.
>>57178934>weWho the fuck are you lmao
>>57177972>>57177977This may come as a shock to you, but that's because Pokémon was a great game. If you were alive in the GB era you would know that. Or the GBA era. Or the DS era.
>>57177893That's honestly not much different than the type of posts we see today.
>>57178122i maintain that BW shouldn't be remade and they should instead do BW3 to maintain unova's sequel identity
you guys should be grateful for the blood, sweat and tears serebii poured into covering these games
>>57178934I do remember people pointing out that gen 2 remakes weren't really needed since all the gen 2 Pokemon were available anyway, but I don't remember any real anger about it.
>>57179047people got pretty mad
>>57178934>I don't remember that faction at allit definitely existed

>>57179272They had their own logical arguments and everything!

>>57179305What the fuck are they even doing? This is from 2016 as well so that's way past the point where this stuff would just be overlooked.
>>57179316It's an RPG forum, the players are announcing that they won't be available online for x days. They're just giving funny reasons for it.>that's way past the point where this stuff would just be overlooked.I think several of those people were actually mods at the time. It's getting overlooked because nobody's getting offended and everyone's just dicking around.
>>57177893I had never seen anyone "talk" like that online until "fr no cap" became a meme.

>>57181669Then you have this guy who thinks that the 3DS is going to be another Virtual Boy
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
>>57179305/vp/ has "raided" serebii a number of times over the years. Those posts from Aug & Sept '16 are probably just from some unlucky bastards who got their accounts yeeked during a raid.The Serebii mods are surprisingly good sports these days. Unless you're t3h p3ngu1n of D00M or a shipping discourse or genwar faggot you can get away with a lot more dumb shit.
>>57182143I dunno about that, I've had a few interactions with them before and a sizable portion of them could rank among the most annoying autists you find in /vp/>shittalking users for not mixmaxing during the campaign>simping/white knighting for the one obvious girl poster>claiming easily disproven lies about older games for the sake of "new good old bad", i.e. saying that HGSS following pokemon had collision boxes and could block the player's movements
>>57182156>a sizable portion of them could rank among the most annoying autists you find in /vp/speaking of
>>57182156Sounds like they've eased their grip even more. When I was 13 I was getting banned me every week for my lolrandom tardposting. But that was 2007 when forum mods saw themselves like badass cyberpolice.
>>57177782Legitfags should get vasectomies.
>>57181669this guy ended up playing XY and ORAS of course
>>57182814They did release XL versions of the 3DS with improved 3D so he was completely validated.
>>57177825>pic relatedThis comment is an issue with all games. Newer games need more processing power. Consoles cost money. My last Pokemon game was Emerald because I didn't want to ask my mom to buy a DS. It seemed very expensive at the time. There are some games that make buying a new console worth it, and if I was an adult when DP came out, I likely would have bought a DS. I have since gone to PC gaming because you can emulate anything and for games that release for PC, mods drastically improve the length of time I am interested in a game and there are some games that wouldn't be worth playing, but the modding community fixes/improves those games. Case in point, I don't find vanilla Pokemon worth playing anymore, hacks which include the entire Pokedex or make the game more difficult I enjoy. The only reason to console game now is if you want games on release.
>>57181786Anon, even Nintendo themselves were presenting the 3DS as a "third pillar" to the DS and Wii as opposed to a DS successor until sales proved successful.
>>57178046Based, fuck 3rd gen babies, their pokemon designs were awful
>>57182143Nah, that entire thread is full of stuff like this. As >>57179342 says, it's just people participating in forum RPGs announcing that they won't have computer access for a certain period of time and giving funny reasons for it. I'm pretty sure that Kyuu-Tales guy was a mod.>>57182536Yeah, in 2016 I think a lot of the mods were internet oldfags that had spent quite a lot of time on 4chan. Funny shitposting like >>57181656 was just seen as fair game comedy that wasn't hurting anyone.
Anyone remember using the serebii irc?The good days of helping people with tradebacks for their trade evos only to just not give them back.
>>57182906I don't remember that for the 3DS. I remember that being the case for the original DS, as it was a risk for Nintendo to abandon the Game Boy brand.
>>57183051Oh yeah shit, you're right, I was mixing them up. My bad.
>>57178046
>>57178122To be fair, Masuda even said that ORAS were only made due to fan demand (he even said "Hoenn confirmed"), and they had one year of pre-production and one year of active development. "GSDS" was planned long in advance, we have demos from 2006, and even FRLG from early 2004 teases Giovanni having a son with red hair, something that would receive a bit more attention in the follow-up.I never had any doubt that Gold and Silver would be remade, there was too much *wink wink* teasing that was relatively out of place compared to a simple region reference. The gold and silver Poké Ball decal on the floor of the Pokémon Center, the Park Ball being gold and silver with a crystal middle, Jasmine, the Red Gyarados story, the 3 year later timeline which we all seemed to believe, it's all way too on the nose. It's not like "I'm a hiker from Hoenn" or "My region sells different food".
>>57183024I remember two really obnoxious things happening during my time on the irc>an automod would instantly time you out for mentioning Wonder Guard or posting in all caps>one of the mods was a hardcore Ash x Misty shipper and would go full retard if you say something as harmless as "I like Ash's dynamic with [female that isn't Misty]"
