Peak released 15 years ago.
>>58265915The level of some evolutions were pretty inconvenient. Wouldn't call that "peak." Still very good though.
>>58265915>The original cancer, the ultimate garbage, literal soulless shit released 15 years ago.FTFY
>>58265915best games ever
>>58265932He didn't post XY though?
OP post best postBless Gen 5
>>58265922It applies to like four lines you get in the endgame anyway.
>>58265980>implying
>>58265915Sweet jesus.....
>I've been on this board for over 15 yearsJesus Christ, I remember when /vp/ was a new board. It used to be /tr/ back then when we got Giovanni to beat Revolver Ocelot in an IGN tournament bracket for greatest video game villain. And then the name got co-opted by RPfags for the next 2 years and it became a dirty memory.Even if /vp/ is shit, at last it isn't 2011 shit.
>>58265995>Legendaries that look like Digimon>Loved by stupid shitllennialsthese are wrong
>>58265995>MillennialsGens 5 (and 4) are when zoomers started playing Pokemon
>>58265915>15 yearsI feel old, grandpanons...BW are not my favorites, but I respect the ambition they had and the effort that went into them. They pushed a lot of boundaries, had some low lows but some very high highs. Also, Chandelure is cool.
>>58266037Nice larp, the board isn’t even 10 years old
>>58266063retard
>Cool pokemon and callbacks to the equally-good Kantomons>Decent story, especially for a game in a franchise that was always mediocre to dogshit story-wise>Honoring Gen 4 by keeping up the "Legendaries that look like Digimon" trend that it started>Hated by stupid zoomies who mostly use non-arguments to try and bring it down or even make shit up like "it doesn't have a post-game">NPCs spouting unskippable (like in all Pokemon games) but meaningful dialogue, allowing for more character developmentYeah... it's kino
>>58266060I remember the hype at the time. They were going really hard with promoting the story and drama, something they had never done for Pokémon before. CoroCoro always used to talk about new Pokémon and features and areas and mechanics, story was typically pretty secondary.>>58266063Anon, /vp/ was made around halfway through 2010 because Pokémon threads on /v/ were getting out of hand due to Black and White hype. People will bring up X and Y's hype season like it was a golden age, but few of them were here in 2010 when the games still had major regional gaps between releases and all major info dumps came from blurry CoroCoro pics taken from a 2005 Motorola.
>>58265915Happy 15th birthday to my favorite pokemon ever
>>58266081>Pokémon threads on /v/ were getting out of hand due to Black and White hype+ HGSS
>>58266053earliest zoomers (think BOps & H3 kiddies) started at earliest with mid to late gen iii but yes essentially well and truly "started" with gen iv and gen vit's like how they start with Halo 2 but have 3 or Reach as their favorites
>>58265948Kinglos still rent free huh
>>58266075zoomers are the only ones who like it tardo
>>58266084I forgot that HGSS had come out overseas that spring. The unfortunate part of the release cycle back then was that people would avoid anything on the games until they were released in English, so it guaranteed a flood of newfags every time, talking about a game everyone else discussed to death 6 months ago.
>>58265915
>>58266097wow, this art of hilda and emboar sure is cool
>>58265915B2W2 is better desu
>>58266148Yeah but they weren't the first, so it doesn't count
>>58265915You mean 26 years ago
>>58265932"It's soulless because I want it to be"
>>58265915that’s not halo reach
>>58266261>sprint>armor lock>jetpacks>loadouts>armor not unlocked through achievements>horrendous bloom>DMR is the only weapon worth usingReach had good parts like the upgraded forge and gritty tone but holy shit no, it was not "peak"
>>58265915I am about the finish these games for the first time. Just reached the final fight with N and I have to say absolutely loved the whole ride so far. The towns, music and characters are really memorable. Some of my absolute favorite Pokemon are in these games. Only downside so far really are the linear routes but even then the game looks so beautiful in every route that it doesn't really make me mad. Just something that is very noticable because the last game I played before Black is Platinum.
Happy bd bw
>>58265915>The entire franchise took a massive fucking misstep 15 years ago, and it never recovered.
>>58267387*12 years ago
>>58265980They just happen to be the best lines in the shitheap that is the Unovadex.
>>58267396Gen 6 was the overcorrection.
>>58267534Correcting from what?People losing interest from the monotony of the games?
>>58267554“Players didn’t like that Svachi’s Dex featured only new Pokémon. Alright, we’ll make Kujira heavily feature returning Pokémon, and our upcoming Holoholo only contain Kanto Pokémon. In the meantime, Swan can open up Issyu to older Pokémon.” – paraphrase of staff quote from Teraleak.
