>When you play a pokemon game made after 2001
>>57240848They stopped trying because they know you'll buy it anyway
>>57240848Akane would never play Pokemon
>>57240848what's worse, gsc killing pokemania or oshi no ko's ending
As if you were alive to play Gen 2 baby.
SV are the best games since HGSS which were the best games since GSC
>>57241044CHECKED
>>57240946At least OnK wasn't boring the whole time.
>>57240848>t. boomer.
>>57240848>No female protagonistI'll pass from playing them
>>57240998>>57241055The duality of shitposters
Why are tods always so defensive? They're even worse than borts
>>57241082johtods want to be accepted as oldfags even though /vr/ will always see them as kanto's annoying little brother
>>57240848is that the incest magna
>>57240848you win the funniest johtoddler post of 2025 thus far award
>>57241114Samefag
>>57240946I can't answer non-biasedly because I have no clue what the latter is
>>57241122It's the manga the OP's image is from.
>>57241119
>>57240946>oshi no koNo one cares about that
>>57241126obviously
>>57241114Thankies :3
I have a feeling that 90% of people on this board were not even alive in 2001.
>>57241158That must be why we all love to rediscover the classics so much, because it was simply before our time.Nothing will match the splendor and amazement of playing video games from a time before you existed, when Game Freak was on top of their game.
>>57241082The only argument tods ever have is "I'm old." Ma'am, it's been 25 years, it's time to move on.
>>57241175>when Game Freak was on top of their gamethey literally needed iwata to save their asses to release gsc. gen 2 was the absolute bottom of their game
>>57241416>A game so ambitious you need to tap the most goated autistic programmer in all of Japan to cram it into a 2048KB GameBoy cartridgeYeah, I'm thinking it's peak.
>>57241416GSC's battery also dies after like 5 years, even if you don't play it. Shit Freak did enshittification before it was cool. XY is also bottom of the barrel but at least I can still play it on a 3DS without needing to pry open the cartridge and use a soldering iron.
>>57240848*1998
>>57241730Johturd not beating the Wacky Deli allegations
>>57241082most johtoddlers are zoomer contrarians. they only played it on emulator because they fell for the millenniboomer old good new bad "i was born in le wrong generation" meme.
>>57241128I care. Incest > sleepy Johto all day.
>>57241730My original Pokemon Crystal battery is still going strong 25 years later!
>>57241834GBC cartridges use CR2025 batteries. For RBY, they last longer because they don't use a real time clock. I can believe 25 years in that case, but not for GSC. Your precious day/night cycle shortens the battery life by like 75%.
>>57240848boomers unironically believe this shit
>>57241854she's shitposting, stop replying
>>57241854I have the RTC disabled for just this reason, then I enable it when I start playing.
>>57241881>i have to disable the """best""" feature in pokemon so the game won't kill itselftruly the peak.
>>57241896Trvthnvke
>>57240853But no set of games in the whole franchise even comes close to GSC's 30 million sales.
>>57241854>cr2025 batteries>don't last until 2025
>>57240998I've learned that a lot of genwunner fags were born years after pokemania and only have such shit opinions because they ape their opinions from retarded millenials.
>>57241896My favorite feature is the fully animated battle sprites, to my knowledge they can't be disabled. But why would you want to do that!
>>57241906>GSC's 30 million salesRBY had over 45 million sales, so that's over a 33% decrease from gen 1. Shame on GSC for killing Pokemania
>>57241906>>57241980Crystal is the lowest selling mainline game in the entire series. The definitive version of gen 2 couldn't even ride the coattails of Pokemania.
>>57241980thisGSC was so bad that it caused millions in lost sales going into RS, in addition to what it lost from RBY
>>57241995>>57241980that was intentional, Game Freak were trying to kill Pokemon so that Nintento would end their contract and they would be allowed to make real art.
>>57242003>Gen 2 sold less than Gen 1 because Gen 2 bad >Gen 3 sold less than Gen 2 because Gen 2 bad
>>57241995No, the lowest selling game would be either Black 2 or White 2, at around 4.125 million sales each.
>>57242013Yes. Gen 2 caused the "Pokemon is for gay babies" stereotype because of its infantile dex and the anime being more kiddy.
>>57242017I don't care for gen 5 but this is massive cope
>>57242027How so? We're talking about individual games, right? If that's the case, then I suppose I can concede that Crystal is 7th from the bottom, with these games beneath it: FireRed, LeafGreen, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon, Black 2, and White 2. However, it might also be above HeartGold, SoulSilver, and Emerald depending on how well the Virtual Console version sold.
>>57240848>worst region>worst story>worst evil team>worst dex distribution>worst characters >worst level scaling>worst rematch system >worst evolution item distribution >second worst gyms>worst evil team climaxThe johto games are objectively terrible in almost every way. Muh heckin’comfy’ japanino vibes and the shittiest implementation of kanto is all it has going for it. I’ve never been more disappointed than when i finally played one of those piles of overrated dogshit
>>57242013Gen 1 built the foundation, which gen 2 didn't take advantage of. Gen 3 had to save the franchise from gen 2's mistakes.
>>57240848>best region>best story>best evil team>best dex distribution>best characters >best level scaling>best rematch system >best evolution item distribution >best gyms>best evil team climaxThe Johto games are objectively perfect in every single way. Its 'kawaii' Japan vibes and the greatest implementation of Kanto is just the tip of the iceberg. I’ve never been more overjoyed than when i finally played Pokemon Crystal for the Nintendop GameBoy Color!
>>57242108Thank you for admitting defeat.
>>57242056brutal trvke. johtimmies cant handle this one
>>57242056>Muh heckin’comfy’ japanino vibesit's literally just ecruteak, every other location in johto is unremarkable
>>57242111>No argumentI accept your concession.
>>57240848>region>story>evil team>dex distribution>characters>level scaling>rematch system>evolution item distribution>gyms>evil team climaxThe johto games are objectively games in almost every way. It takes place in a fictional version of Kansai and has implementation of kanto as well. I'd never played a game that was titled Pokémon Gold Version, Pokémon Silver Version, Pokémon Crystal Version, Pokémon HeartGold Version, or Pokémon SoulSilver Version until I finally played one of them.
>>57242141Trvke
>>57242069Groudon is pretty baller, better than Kyogre's bitch ass for sure
>>57242069>>57242178I loved Groudon as a kid.
