I-is that...? Could it truly be...?
>>58736009KANTOOOOOOOOOO
>>58736009Yeah. It’s Charizard. KANTO, or whatever./thread
>>58736009That's Charizard but from Johto...
>>58736009>kanto pokemon in GS's intro sequence: 6>johto pokemon: 3 (just the starters)Johto humiliated in the literal first minute of the game, fucking unreal
>>58736009top 10 moments in gaming history
Typedo sissies why do we keep losing?
>>58736009>not obtainable in-gameWhat was the point?
>>58736009holy fucking kino
>>58736046 Gen 2 was made out of spite and johto Pokémon were made to flop.Fun fact, the Gen 2 starters were added least minute (likely by Iwata while he was carrying pedo freak’s sorry asses). They used to be the other Kanto starters in place of were they were
>>58736082GS was the first dexit
Funny how Sinnoh doesn't have this problem.
>>58736314Because no one gave a shit about it lmao
>>58736087Hi TypedoCouldn't find a way to fit Ohmori's cp collection in your schizobabble today?
>>58736378
>>58736082you were expected to own the first game and transfer pokemon to GSC
>>58736087>the Gen 2 starters were added least minuteThis is false because Meganium was present in the 1997 Space World beta.
>>58736377Blatantly false
>>58737078Was referring to the intro it initially didn’t have the johto starters https://youtu.be/eS_-hIruehg?si=eKlE2sospfyUHNXcThough meganium being in the 1997 demo proves it was an industry plant all along, game freak just so stupid and did such an embarrassing job shilling it for 25 year so no one realized until it got a super saiyan shill form
The GS intro represents the rise to heavenits starts off low and moves upwards, reaching the pinnacle, the god
>>58737234Meganium is also the Johto Starter with the most appearances in the anime, Feraligatr gets scraps if lucky and Typhlosion got shafted except for that one special that also had Meganium and Feraligatr
>>58737274> also had Meganium and FeraligatrI don’t think Gatr showed up in that. marina had croconaw
>>58737285Oh yeah you're right, it was a Croconaw so that's another point for MeganiumBad stats aside and a mid movepool, Meganium got the best treatment of the Johto trio
>>58736046Hey there Pokemon Mentally Challenged.

>>58736009>biggest gimmick of its games are the fact you can return to Kanto>region so insignificant, it has to share its Pokemon League with Kanto>20% of Johto's newly introduced Pokémon are either evolutions or pre-evolutions of Kanto Pokémon>people thought for years that Pokémon like Skarmory, Slugma and Magcargo were Hoenn Pokémon due to how shit Johto Pokémon are available in GSC>majority of the Johto gym leaders use Kanto Pokémon>the only Johto gym leaders in GSC that use Johto Pokémon are Whitney, Jasmine, Pryce and Clair; Whitney and Pryce's aces are the only Johto Pokémon that are not evolutions of a Kanto Pokémon>Remake did NOT fix most of these errors (they're still some of the best games tho)>in the anime-side, Ash's Johto team is one of the worst teams; Ash had to use his Kanto Pokémon (Pikachu, Snorlax and Charizard) to beat the final Johto gym because of how SHIT his team was; Ash's Phanpy and Heracross shined more in the seasons after JohtoG R I M
>>58737536johto is really just humiliating ritual: the region
>>58737536>People who ignore that Johto was meant to complement the game that came before, not replace it like every other pseudo-reboot starting with RSE
>>58738003It's literally the second fucking gen, it's retarded to diss it for not adhering to standards that didn't even exist yet. I don't give most Gen 2 hater complaints the time of day because most of them are worthless meme takes (muh KANTOOO). I'm playing Silver for the first time in two decades and am impressed by how much enjoyment I'm getting out of Johto.
>>58738122They made the gameplay worse than gen 1 and killed the cartridge battery faster in favor of blue overworld graphics at 8 PM.
>>58738159>They made the gameplay worse than gen 1In what way?
>>58738177The battles are slower and easier than RBY, the new Pokemon aren't fun to find or use, teambuilding is more annoying thanks to day/night cycle cockblocking encounters, and the battery dies with your save file in half the time.
>>58736314...where's our intro cut-in, empoleonbros?

The low levels and shitmons in the other gym battles say hi.>opinionBugged HP bars making battles longer than they need to is not fun.

My Crystal battery died before DP came out. Meanwhile my Red and Yellow cartridges lasted almost 20 years.
>>58738221teambuilding is awesome in johto though. nothing is outright handed to you, you have to go out of your way for em, thus making every new team member an adventure in and of itself later pokemon games could learn a lot from johto
>>58738388>Starmie says hi.not even close to miltanks difficulty curve. Whitney and her Miltank are infamous with normies for a reason bro.>Bugged HP bars making battles longer than they need to is not fun.are you seriously complaining about hp bars?>Making the new Pokemon difficult to find while being weaker than common mons is not funnot every pokemon has to be competitive you autist. >Imposing a challenge on yourself by using rare shitmons to have fun means the game was poorly designed from the beginning.do you .... do you only use the best pokemon possible in a childrens game? No idea how you play, but I just use pokemon that look neat.>Building a team is the most important component of Pokemon, not your gay catch em all slop Game Freak brainwashed you into caring about so you'd buy more games, consoles and merch.it was all about catching them all and collecting.

My Crystal battery died before DP came out. Meanwhile my Red and Yellow cartridges lasted almost 20 years.do you not understand the point I was making?
>>58738388fucking truthnuked
>>58738399>was all about catching them all and collectingkill yourself scalper manchild
>>58738404calm down zoomer.Those of us that were alive during pokemania can tell you it was indeed about collecting. You even get a certificate for collecting them all
>>58738404>catching em all in a video game is scalpingare you telling me you didn't catch em all???
>>58738399>are you seriously complaining about [real problem]>it was always about [game freak brainrot but listening to them is apparently bad now]>do you not understand that 5-10 < 20hypocrite and a retard
>>58738413>he didn't catch em all
>>58738413>are you seriously complaining about [real problem]it's not really an issue, more of a nitpick.>it was always about [game freak brainrot but listening to them is apparently bad now]what?>do you not understand that 5-10 < 20my point was that the battery dying 10 years later was not a fucking issue when the game came out. No one was saying "OH GEE I Hope my save battery lasts 10+ years"
>>58738413you're really reaching for things to complain about when you bring up the fact that the battery lasts "only" 10 years in a game that's like 30 hours long if you're playing it casually without rushing anything
>>58738415>hp bar that worked perfectly is now fuckedit's an issue and also makes pvp on the cartridge shit>what?retard>my point was [schizobabble]are you the zoomer? people were complaining about this in the early 00s
>>58738420The battery lasted more like 5-7 yearsI've heard some GS cartridges died before Emerald came out kek
>Johtofag's only argument is "Uhhh did you catch em all"Yes. Everyone did it in RBY when GS didn't kill Pokemania yet.
>>58738426and you can still complete it hundreds of times over in that time framebut if this is really a major issue for you there's this really great remake on the DS that you could be playing instead, and now that issue among others are not present in that game
>>58738421>it's an issue and also makes pvp on the cartridge shithow?>retardcompelling argument anon>are you the zoomer? people were complaining about this in the early 00sprove it then faggot
>>58738436>how is fucking up something that wasn't broken before an issuevery intelligent question anon. i bet you shitpost about gen 4 hp bars being slow too>compelling argumentno point in arguing with a retard but i'm having fun>prove itmy friend group irl and the irc i used to be in. i saw some gamefaqs threads just now too. sorry you had no friends :(
>>58738435Lmfao only Johto niggers would try to defend thatNot even the most nostalgia rotted genwunners defend the shitty battery
>>58738448>very intelligent question anon. i bet you shitpost about gen 4 hp bars being slow tooagain I don't have issues with it at all. I played Pearl when it came out and didn't give a shit about the hp bars. I never noticed pointless shit like that until autists started brining it up like it's some kind of problem or issue.>no point in arguing with a retard but i'm having funI'm sure you are>my friend group irl and the irc i used to be in. i saw some gamefaqs threads just now too. sorry you had no friends :(so you don't have any actual proof that people were complaining about battery life in the early 00s like you claimed.
>>58738454it's not even a "defense" i just don't care.the game isn't long enough for this to be much of an issue in my eyes.nowadays I usually play johto in the form of HGSS anyway, where this doesn't apply
>>58738458To be fair there's no proof you caught them all back then either. Because your game battery died.
>>58738458I complained about it. Hard to find proof when I can't access AOL chat logs anymore or the dead forum I used to post in.
>the game is le bad because [universal problem with retro games that utilize save batteries, especially handhelds]you might as well have just announced in all caps that you're under the age of 18 KEK
>>58738473This wasn't a problem for me until gen 2 came out and none of the Kanto starters were accessible without the original games. What if future games did the same thing and they stopped selling RBY or the batteries died? Would they expect kids to change the battery themselves? What kind of precedent were they setting?
>>58738477So you played the gen 2 games long enough for the battery life to become an issue? Damn, you must have really enjoyed them
>>58738481What are you talking about? Those were the thoughts I had when Gold and Silver came out after they did the catch em all marketing.Do you always do this, misconstrue the opposing post and shitpost like you're being victimized?
>>58738485you're trying too hard
>>58738485>Do you always do this, misconstrue the opposing post and shitpost like you're being victimized?yes
>>58738485No one is being "victimized" here, we're arguing about the quality of a 25-year-old video game for the Game Boy Color.Like >>58738489 said, you're trying way too hard
>>58738489I remmeber when this was your only argument in that /vr/ thread

>>58738517lmao that's what i was gonna sayif you don't wanna get told you're trying too hard, stop trying too hard
>>58738502>890 postsCrazy shit. I briefly scanned through it and there's tons of samefagging. But I can tell these same retards are posting here too.
>>58738546yes. it goes for johto and anti johto fags. they should go the fuck back.
>>58738552>johto thread
>>58736046>you meet Oak before Elm>you're most likely to find Pidgey as your first encounter>the gyms and elite 4 use more sloppy seconds from Kanto than they do Johto mons>Typhlosion is just a fat wingless furry version of Chaizard with copy and pasted stats>Lance is somehow weaker in gen poojoke of a region
>>58738552alight boys lets move it back to /vr/ >>>/vr/12246375
>>58738557johtofag here. none of these are a problem and i won't explain shit. also you're a zoomer
>>58738557tapping the sign>>58738003>>58738122
>>58738561tapping the sign
>>58738552>>58738558but why
>>58738561Johtofags complain about every game not having 2 regions or the previous region's protagonist all the time. You only use this argument when it's convenient for you.
>>58738560i will also bend the opposing argument or say no one cared at the time because i can't actually argue against it
>>58738564>haha this is what you are saying!i happen to think johto's way of doing things is fucking awesome and way cooler than the other gensthis strawman image is the funniest thing ever because absolutely no one says this
>>5873857295% of everyone's teams only being Typhlosion, Ampharos and Red Gyarados was fucking awesome? Whatever you say.
>>58738580as apposed to Charizard, Alakazam and Gengar?
>>58738581>2 trade evosYour shitpost isn't even believable.
>>58738587I'm sorry you didn't have friends
>>58738580speak for yourself, just because (You) used those three Pokemon doesn't mean I didI actually explored the game and try to use different team members each timeFunnily enough, to this very day I have never used Ampharos>>58738587>admitting to not having friends
>>58738595>>58738596good goys. go buy that link cable for your friends. maybe some tcg packs too.
>>58738609are you ... are you attempting to shame people for buying pokemon cards on /vp/?
>>58738596I can also say I used Chansey in Red or Huntail in Ruby because I loved using different team members. Doesn't mean it was the consensus for most used Pokemon in-game. You simply do not argue in good faith.
>>58738616Buying Pokemon cards in 2025 means you're a manchild scalper or a manchild buying from scalpers
>>58738609if you had friends who played pokemon (which was every kid in '96), at least one of you had the 15 dollar link cable.>>58738619So you admit that every Pokemon game had a "default" team, thus making your argument moot?
>>58738625I'm saying the vast majority of people used the same team for Johto. I swear you're being retarded on purpose.
>>58738631they didn't though.
Johturds.... explain this....
>>58738634They did though.
>>58738637okay, prove your claim
>>58738638I'll use your "proof" - I used that team so you did too.
>>58738631...and then admitting that this applies to every pokemon game in >>58738619.Which one of us is being retarded?>>58738635I fail to see the issue.
>>58738644how is that my proof? Are you okay anon?
>>58738635>doesn’t even use crobatjoke region
>>58738485>Do you always do this, misconstrue the opposing post and shitpost like you're being victimized?rings more true as the thread goes.
>>58738635that's gen 3 and 4
>>58738648dementia-kun...
>>58738649Because it's a friendship evolution, so his they save the evolution until later to show that he has learned to love his Pokemon instead of only caring about their power. It's pretty kino.
>>58738635>comparing the last rival fight to the second to last fightdisingenuous and retarded
>>58738673>so his theyI had a bit of a stroke while revising this but the point still applies
>>58738596that post did not say you used them. not everything is about you, manchildfag.
>>58738682>manchildfagyou're arguing about a children's game on an anonymous site, gain some self awareness
>>58738685>throwing insults while ignoring that you can't readtypical manchild.
>>58738682post you just replied to is a different anon btwnot that it really matters for the sake of the argument, just thought i'd mention it
>>58738674>didn't play the gamethey are both the second to last fight. blue's frlg rematch fight is in the 70s.
>Falkner uses Pidgeotto as his ace>Bugsy uses Scyther as his ace>Whitney uses Clefable as her ace>Morty uses Gengar as his ace>Chuck uses Poliwrath as his ace>Jasmine uses Magneton as her ace>Pryce uses Lapras as his ace>Clair uses Seadra as her aceWhy is Johto so pathetic, bros?
>>58738635now compare the final battle with blue (frlg) to the final battle with red (hgss)
>>58737536>(they're still some of the best games tho)i beg to differ
>>58738708A false equivalency. Who was your rival and who was the champion in Johto again?Even then, Red gets shut down by a level 20 Shuckie Encore, letting you set up on it with an underleveled shitmon while it spams Quick Attack.
>>58738724>comparing a final boss to a final boss is a false equivalency
>>58738730>final bossLance? Is it suddenly convenient for Kanto to be the main game again?
>>58738724This doesn't happen. Pikachu will always prefer to use Thunderbolt or Thunder because it's a neutral hitting move, and Quick Attack is not very effective.Shuckle's HP also wouldn't be in the "low percentage kill zone" that makes the AI prioritize using weaker moves to give the player a chance to runback with a healing item or switch with relative safety.
>>58738732Giga retard. Pikachu sees a roll that kills with Quick Attack and will use it because it has priority.
>>58738731yes. as we all know johto is known for having zero postgame as red is the final boss.
>>58738737>Lvl 81 Pikachu Quick Attack vs. Lvl 20 Shuckle: 17-20 (30.3 - 35.7%) -- 17.3% chance to 3HKOThe scenario you describe literally doesn't exist. Even a Shuckle at that low a level tanks Quick Attack effortlessly. The AI WILL use Thunderbolt or Thunder as a result.
>>58738742dumb nigger doesn't know what predamage is
>>58738732>>58738743What kid is going to predamage a level 20 shuckle to fight red. What fucking scenario is this and why does it make gen 2 worseSee shit like this is why I say you try too hard
>>58738747>encore>gen 2>when the post was about hgss>i was too stupid to come up with the strategy myself so ur trying too hardback to /vr/ retard
>>58738749point still stands, what kid is going to try to beat red with a level 20 shuckle and how does that make johto worse.This is so fucking stupid
>>58738749Encore is in gen 2 but yes. In gen 2 the Pikachu is even shittier so you don't need it.
>>58736314Man i remember playing gen 4 and being so stoked to see turtwigs evolutions hahaI played it the whole day with my friend, good times
>>58738743>B-BUT IF YOU PREDAMAGE SHUCKLE FIRST,Now you're trying too hard. Why are you going for this esoteric fucking Shuckle angle in the first place?If you want a "LAWL SO EZ!" that makes sense and exploits the fact Red leads with a Pikachu who has no answers to physical bulk, he gets raped by Thick Club Marowak after giving it a few doses of X Speed, taking advantage of the free turns from effortlessly tanking Quick Attack (and Iron Tail if we're factoring in HGSS).
>>58738754>>58738755in gen 2 any fucking kid can use x items on the graveler they were told to use
>>58738757>now i have to raise a thick club maroshit when any retard can use the shuckie strategy with any monwho's trying too hard now fag?
>>58738762Me
>BOOHOO WHAT KID USED SHUCKLEMaybe if millennials were intelligent instead of grooming zoomers on IRC they'd be better at battling
>>58738775I care more about collecting than battling
>>58738762>>58738775I'm sure all the kids at your school were intellectuals who knew the AI intimately enough to understand what predamage cheese strats were back in the 2000s, I totally believe you.
>>58738781And now zoomers made the strat for you, go and thank them
>>58738783No, they made the predamage strat for YOU, because YOU'RE the one who brought up "lol you can sweep red by setting up thanks to encore shuckle!! so pathetic lmao" in the first place.
>>58738783Thank you zoomies for trivializing everything we thought was difficult. We thought you needed to be at least level 70 to stand a chance against Red, on shift mode. We thought the Battle Frontier was cheating when we simply made bad decisions. But now we know better.
>>58738788And now you learned some common knowledge today. Pays off to be in the /vp/ genwar bubble huh?
inb4 johtoddies get mad and mass report again and the hater posts get deleted
>>58738797this dude was also in /vr/ with the same arguments. He's just autistic about hating johto

>>58736009>look at this cool Pokemon you can't get without the older gameThis was a big deal for normalfags jumping on the train late. In gen 2 you can't get the full experience without playing gen 1 first.
>>58738909people still had gen 1 games and link cables, they didn't magically go away
>>58738927Most kids want to play the new game everyone else is playing with their friends.
>>58738909you do know that's why everyone quit with gen 3 right? They could no longer transfer their gens 1/2 pokemon to the new games and quit because of it
>>58738940I don't know about you but I didn't give a shit about that after Red.
>>58738937trading a starter over takes less than 10 min. Me and my brother did this when we got gold/silver
>>58738947Okay? How does that address the feeling of missing out in gen 1?
anyone hating on gen 2 is mentally ill. all these threads are pure schizobabble which do nothing just confirm gen 2's status as the greatest which mindbreaks trannies on veepee
>>58738957but Anon, muh hp bars are slow so the games shit
>>58738909it's a common sentiment with the post-pokemania fags. never got into Pokemon b/c there's too much shit to remember by gen 3 or 4
>>58738909>This was a big deal for normalfags jumping on the train late. In gen 2 you can't get the full experience without playing gen 1 first.yeah, I couldn't get Totadile in ruby so I didn't get the full experience
>>58738957Gen 2 gave birth to Poketrannies with Kris doebeit
>>58738974>totodile>in the ruby intro>johtofag>being wrong and stirring shitmake a more iconic duo
>>58738997damn anon you're right, Charizard being in the into movie and not obtainable in game completely ruins the entire gamekudos on your brilliant logic
>>58739007>FOMO>completely ruins the entire gameyes.
>>58738909fixed in hgss
okay the real question that needs to be answeredGSC or HGSS?
>>58738947You can't do this until you get the Time Capsule halfway through the game. It's not like you can use Charmander as your starter
>>58738731what's FRLG's postgame final boss again, it's been ages
>>58736009This Image speaks VOLUMES
>>58739021Why did they make a shitmon like Ledian a morning only encounter?
>>58739022Ecruteak City isn't that late though
>>58739025trainer tower
>>58739033is that really equivalent to Red though?
>>58739028that's when ladybugs are most active in real life
>>58739038no, it's much better than red and the trainers can have level 100s
The post game final boss of RBY is MewtwoThe post game final boss of GSC is Red
>>58738890I've never seen this guys video on gen 2. Are all these retarded arguments from this video or something?
>>58739039>Ladybugs are most active during the warm hours of the day, especially in the late morning to early afternoon when temperatures riseSo midday
>>58739041So ZA with the DLC must be the best Pokemon game then, since enemies can go beyond level 100Are high levels the only thing you care about?
>>58739078>Are high levels the only thing you care about?You were insinuating this by bringing up Red
>>58739078so you're saying ZA fags and trainer tower can stomp red's pussy ass?
>>58739086Yes. Never mind he brought up "best Pokemon game" out of nowhere.
>>58739094>"out of nowhere" even though the argument has been about quality from the very start
>>58736046They knew that the players who would like the Johto game's favorite parts would be Kanto.
>>58739301actually, my favorite part is ecruteak city
>>58738572no, you all simply refuse to acknowledge that's what your drivel amounts to

>>58739507This.
>>58739507You have yet to properly argue against any point in this thread. You twist the argument into something you think is the same when it isn't or brush it off as meaningless when all you're doing is starting shit. Then you get called out on being retarded and it makes you more agitated. This is why every thread you participate in will be garbage and turn out like this.

>>58739815The HP bar bug and the battery lasting 5-7 years when they weren't issues before are objective errors. Imagine wanting to play Platinum when XY came out, but your whole save file was erased due to the battery.

>>58740069inb4 THEY DONT MATTER I ONLY COLLECT POKEMON LIKE DADDY GOYIM FREAK TOLD ME TO
>>58740099It should matter. Your original completed Pokemania dex is dead over 10 years earlier if you transferred everything to GSC.
>>58740097Took you 90 minutes to come up with that? You should try harder.
>>58740128why should i try harder when i can bullshit the argument and say wasn't an issue to everythingthe mods don't care, i don't care
>>58740153Maybe come up with actual issues that aren’t subjectiveOh right, the best you have is a hardware issue
>>58740153Well at least you're self aware.
>>58740159Level curve, rare shitmons, bad programming, overreliance on Kanto were all issues talked about upon the initial release. Saying no they weren't or deflecting to Poketubers won't make them go away especially if you're dinging other gens for not following gen 2's model.
>>58740168>Level curve, rare shitmons, bad programming, overreliance on Kanto were all issues talked about upon the initial release.zoomer historical revisionism right here> Saying no they weren't or deflecting to Poketubers won't make them go away especially if you're dinging other gens for not following gen 2's model.take your meds bro

>>58740179post proof then faggot, oh wait you can't
>Gen 1 autists are still mad their game is inferior
Kanto is only fun when it's GSC/HGSS's postgame. Kanto relies on Johto, and when it doesn't, it's boring as shit.
>>58740181Post your proof mate. You always make the claim first.
>>58738567No, people just thought revisiting a previous region is a cool idea (it is). Terminally online spergs are butthurt at Gen 1's popularity and GF's handling of it and project this weird mentality everywhere, including far into the past where it makes no sense like Gen 2.
>>58740192>claim everyone complained about "stuff">"now post proof it didn't happen"what?
>>58740181you had to be there zoomie.
>>58740192You can prove that something happened.You cannot prove that something didn't happen.
>umm actually internet forums all HATED gen 2>no I can't provide any proof or sourcessee, you're trying too hard
>>58740206>>58740211>too young for forums and irckek
>>58740217We know you are. You don't need to tell us.
>>58740192Basically every message board and chats are long gone from that era. So anyone can make up shit and pretend it was the overall consensus when it was the opinion of their bubble.
I've genuinely never met a person that says gen 1 was better than gen 2 and I knew a few that grew up with both.I grew up only with gen 2 though.
>>58740219you wouldn't be saying this shit if you weren't 7 at the timeyou think it was universally loved? you simply weren't online>>58740223i checked gamefaqs and serebii and they only go back to 2008 and 2005 respectively. so i'll say gsc were dropped upon release, and crystal having the lowest sales reflects that
>>58740217>too new for "pics or it didn't happen"
Crystal >>> G/S
>>58740236Ironically this was only used here since 2007. So you're a DP zoomer?
>>58740184It's Gen 1 haters. They're mad about Gen 1 shit in newer games and use every opportunity to be a little bitch about it, including older games. If you were playing Gen 2 when it was current, you were very likely a "genwunner" already or playing them simultaneously.
>>58740242While cyrtsal is my favorite I have to disagree. Crystal started the trend of handing you legendries which I find problematic
>>58738409MODS
>>58740233>salesFaggots here will get mad but it's the only real evidence for overall reception, not some neckbeard spamming about his hyperfixation on SomethingAwful.
>>58740260yes, twilight and harry potter are the greatest books of all time.
>>58740262The Bible is, yes.
>>58740260>swsh sold a gorillion copies, that must mean it was received well
>>58740249No, GS started that and it was better than the esoteric nonsense in gen 1. You could actually find shit without an internet guide.Crystal just gave you more and had much better QoL, animations, better colour, it was just better.
>>58740267it technically was, you're not 5-12 years old anymore. sorry your twitter and reddit bbnd boycott didn't work :(
>>58740269>esoteric nonsenseBros I thought the best thing about old gens was they don't shove the legendaries in your face...
>>58740267Well it was the last one I played other than Arceus because SV was bug central and not doing what Arceus was doing - the direction pokemon should have gone.>then they fuck legends up with ZA, so we'll never see Arceus turned into our dream pokemon gameArceus felt like how I imagined pokemon would be in the future back in 2001. I was so happy GF were trying something like that for once.
>>58740269>No, GS started that and it was better than the esoteric nonsense in gen 1.I hard disagree. Having legendary pokemon be hidden away is excellent world building. They're legendary for a reason.>You could actually find shit without an internet guide.no one needed a guide to find the 3 birds or mewtwo>Crystal just gave you more and had much better QoL, animations, better colour, it was just better.I agree but I dislike them just giving you a legendary dog.>>58740284showing they exist isn't the same as shoving them in your face in game. There is no "fateful encounter" bullshit. You have to go out of your way to catch them
>>58740260Mighty Number 9 sold almost as many copies as Mega Man 2 did. Your argument pretty much falls apart there.
>>58740284The best thing about gen 2 was that it actually worked unlike gen 1.Otherwise, Firered/Leafgreen were better.
>>58740291>Having legendary pokemon be hidden away is excellent world building. They're legendary for a reason.Ok, so Missingno is official. Good to know.
>>58740302unironically yeshttps://youtu.be/LN8P5lCPRsU?si=VYj2a8mVeuo_U8EQ
>>58738003I swear Johto was hamstrung because of merchandising purposes. Some Pokemon weren’t allowed to evolve because they wanted to sell plushies of them.
>>58740291>no "fateful encounter" bullshitOk.>>58740295It did work in gen 1. In gen 2 you saw them on the box but most people skipped over them and didn't care.
>>58740337>okyou have to find and catch the dogs roaming around, they didn't just hand you them.
>>58740319the anime was compromised with togepi sucking out misty's personality

>>58740403And you think Game Freak cares about your tiny friend group in their mid 30s?>>58740422Guess what Pokemon's target audience is. Spoiler, it's not 35 year olds.
>>58740428yes, that's why we still get kanto pandering
>>58740432couldn't have said it better myself
>>58740428>you think Game Freak cares about your tiny friend group in their mid 30sthey are the main audience for the overpriced merch on the pokemon center siteoh no the $60 games suck... anyway i'm buying another $40 pikachu plush and some card packs to scalp
>>58740432>>58740438You are retarded.>>58740440 gets it. The games are aimed towards children and a vessel to sell merch. And oh boy do you faggots shell the fuck out for plushies.
>>58740445so the games since gen 6 didn't pander to kanto?
>>58740451The games since gen 2 pandered to Kanto
>>58740454gen 3 pandered to kanto?In what way
>>58740445i wanted to check pokecen jp one time and there was a 30 minute queue for some collab with sleepwear that just released. everything went out of stock except for some towels. shit like $200 sold out.>>58740460gee whiz what games were remade in gen 3 again
>>58740472>$200$200 pajamas

>>58740479gee golly what games were remade in gen 4 with who's backyard again..........
>>58740479How are remakes disingenuous? It's pandering to the max, especially when RB and FRLG are less than 10 years apart.Kanto pandering isn't necessarily a bad thing, every game does it.
>>58740498they only say gen 6 because they blatantly copy pasted shit like santalune forest and the snorlax blockade in the new region
>>58740486Johto's backyard. Kanto is Johto's backyard.That's why it's only fun whenever Johto is there
>>58740498A remake isn't the same thing as pandering to gen 1Pikachu is locked to being rare in the safari zone and you can't even catch most gen 1/2 pokemon in RSEHell lets not forget when BW came out and every single normie cried that they couldn't use their KANTO mon until post game. Gen 6 pushing gen one nostalgia was a direct response to that backlash

>>58740715>that yellow spritebarney.
>>58740715>That>"Badass"Maybe if you're 2 years old. And besides, the official art looked like >>58740707 which just means that Gen 2 did a better job making Dragonite look like he's supposed to.
>>58740715>Dragonite has the gen 2 :) I'm so cute faceRuined
.
>>58740728Gen 1 in general had a lot of off-model sprites. Gen 2 was the first to accurately represent how the Pokemon were always supposed to look

>>58740832>Their own interpretationThey just couldn't draw for shit. Wigglytuff was supposed to look like this, not a crackhead.
>>58740816I will say though, I do quite like the classic "formless" Gastly. I would genuinely say I prefer it over the standardized design.
>>58740837>supposed toThe game makes it look like a monster. In the pocket monsters franchise.
>>58740837it's common for games back then to look nothing like the promotional artwork
>>58740845No, it just makes it look like a rendition of the artwork that was drawn by a retard. It doesn't even look edgy or anything, just stupid.
>>58740845it looks like the actual design if you content-aware scaled it
>>58740850Thank goodness we've moved on.
>>58740851It looks like a bug eyed rabbit creature about to slap your shit.

>>58740862Parroting is an admission of defeat.
>>58740864I parroted myself because you made an incorrect claim.
>>58740850That is true, but it wasn't universal. I can think of a good few games that represented the character designs incredibly well even back then (mega man immediately comes to mind)>>58740857If the exact same sprite was used in gen 2 you'd be singing a different song
>>58740867No, I didn't. Gen 1 Wigglytuff's sprite looks fucking awful. You are a retard.
>>58740871It's soulful. You are a retard and drank too much Johto koolaid.
>>58740874Explain what "soulful" means in this context, and how Gen 1 Wigglytuff's sprite meets these criteria.
>>58740877I already did. And they made it look more monstrous.>>58740832Your response was subjective and unfounded.
>>58740868>That is true, but it wasn't universal. I can think of a good few games that represented the character designs incredibly well even back then (mega man immediately comes to mind)Continuing this thought, usually whenever this WAS the case, it was due to character designs too complicated for their hardware (a lot of JRPGs fell victim to this)Pokemon is not one of these cases. It would not have been difficult to simply move the skull and crossbones under Koffing's face. It would not be difficult to give Pinsir its Toriyama-style eyes. Hell, Pokemon Yellow corrected the off-model sprites for the most part, proving that it was not a hardware issue. GSC also used on-model sprites, and when you really get down to it the graphical capabilities of the GBC are pretty much just "what if the gameboy had color?"
>>58740884>I already did.No you didn't.>And they made it look more monstrous.Which is the opposite of the point of Wigglytuff, who was always supposed to be a cutemon.
I prefer gen 2 sprites but I like how rough the RBGY sprites looked. It felt like a different franchise compared to today.
>>58740884Brother, it looks like a reject Furby.
>>58740901>No you didn't.Sorry you can't read.>was always supposed to be a cutemonIt pulls off both, like what a good cute Pokemon design should be.>>58740907Any Pokemon design can be boiled down to sound stupid. Not an argument.
>[region]monPokémon are native to whereever they pop up. In theory, there is no reason a new gen Pokémon couldnt be exclusively native to a previously established region. We find new things in old places all the time. Putting aside the idiocy of throwing this terminology around when Kanto and Johto are presented as sister regions who are distinct in their own ways but who share things, the only time the series departs from blending the old and new is BW. And whether you enjoyed it or not, that was just a gimmick to recreate the feel of the first Gen but made no sense on its head and was abandoned in B2W2. Region variants and evos are the closest thing to [region]mon.
>>58740904Honestly based. I love arguing online as much as the next guy but sometimes I wish we could all just get along over our mutual love of PokemonBack in the olden days of /vp/ someone made a parody of What a Wonderful World, and these particular lines really spoke to me>All the different generations each bring something to the game >They've all got good and bad points, but we love 'em just the same>I see trips and anons all getting along>'Cause there's no need to argue when neither one's wrongGranted, this was back when every gen had at least some merit to it
>>58740924they're defined as the region of the game they were introduced in, schizo
>>58740924I don't care what retarded cope you faggots come up with, the fact is most Pokemon introduced in Gen 2 are dumb ugly shitmons, found incredibly late to the point they're not worth using, behind tedious gimmicks, and they're grossly under represented in NPC teams.
>>58740933No they're not, autist. They're divided by gen outside the games. In game, theyre native to wherever the fuck they show up.

>>58740963me when i concede
>>58740933...from gen 3 onward gen 3 was the gen that established the blueprint for the future of the franchise, starting traditions like each gen having its own pikaclone and fossilmon, each region being more or less defined by its new pokemon, and so onjohto was before this design philosophy, designed as a "sister region" to kanto as that other anon put it, thus its dex is the classic 151 + a hundred new guys, some of which can also be found in kantowhether this is a good or a bad thing is up to personal preference, but it is important to realize that the formula was not established yet

Notice how the haters has to desperately appeal to an non-existent audience because he's getting raped like a prison bitch.
>>58740994>“In your previous interview at the time of Gold & Silver (February 2000 issue), you said when you were designing Pokemon, you had to consider merchandising, and that created some constraints.”>Sugimori: “Rather than constraints, I’d say we were careful about a lot of things. Like we’d say ‘if we don’t make a Pokemon this way, they’ll be difficult to animate in the TV show.’ We didn’t really think about those kinds of things this time, which might be bad for the anime staff and independent artists.”No, it's objectively worse. Just because you're a contrarian tranny girl doesn't mean it's better.
>>58741005you're trying too hard
>>58740997>deflectingCrazy shit.>>58741000Not me. But posting articles is better than "doesn't apply to me"
>>58741005constraints breed creativity resulting in a better end productwow I refuted your objective fact
>>58741010>post evidence>continue parroting like a broken robotConcession accepted.
>>58741011both sides have been flinging insults this whole time, that's how /vp/ works. everyone can scroll up and see the kantykes doing the exact same shit
>>58741018have you considered that you're just trying too hard?You're literally arguing that opinions are facts
>doesn't apply to me so you're wrongthe johtod argument
>>58741036>You're wrong and trying far too hard. Look at basically any popularity poll and Johto designs always lose.SkamoryTyranitarScizorSteelixLuigiaHeracrossUmbreon/EspeonDamn those are all low on the popularity polls, they never pop up on favorite lists
>>58741046None of these designs will ever top the list. Fucking Kalos has won before.
>>58741036this entire argument was started by kantyke shitflinging KEK>You're wrong and trying far too hard. Look at basically any popularity poll and Johto designs always lose.umbreon, lugia, and houndoom are consistently some of the most expensive and sought after cards in any given set do with that info what you will
>>58741050charizard mogs
>>58741053>moving the goalpostlollmao even
>>58741053yeah i mean fair enough it's pretty hard to compete with charizard in terms of popularity
>>58741053Gengar, Eevee, Pikachu mog
>>58741061umbreon is more popular than eevee itself at this point though
>>58741061Snorlax
>>58741065nah snorlax is pretty washed as far as shillmon status goes
>>58741050presenting and refuting an argument is not shitflingingthrowing a tantrum about trying too hard like on /vr/ is pathetic shitflinging
Kanto chads keep btfo'ing us Johtoddlers...
>>58741002yeah, he did this in the /vr/ thread
>>58741077>still seethingstop trying so hard bro
>>58741061Arcanine and Bulbasaur are up there. Fucking Skarmory and Steelix lol
>>58741079Different guy. I'm not the "trying too hard" guy
>>58741046Johto is like 5 popular designs and everything else is forgettable dogshit as bad as Seel
>>58741091talking about the anon who's obsessed with hating on johto
>>58741087Yeah steelix is a questionable choice for that list, even more questionable is omitting houndour>>58741094my mistake, I was confused because you replied to mei only really go to /vr/ for snes related threads
>>58741002Notice how zoomzooms reuse the 2010 HGSS opinion and apply it to GSC, then pretend like they're 34 and grew up with it.
>>58741099what probably happened is>there was mixed reception of gen 2 online like with every fucking game>the haters moved on soon after crystal>old school forums and sites they posted on disappear>serebii and gamefaqs shuffle around boards and deleted old threads>only the autists still keeping up with pokeshit 10 years later are still around
>>58741099I've noticed the opposite from zoomers, citing issues with GSC that do not apply to HGSS, and then claiming HGSS did not fix themI'm pretty openly an HGSSfag, I have played GSC and I liked it a lot but I prefer HGSS
>>58741113Last time we had this "discussion" most people played GS on the monochrome Game Boy, but everyone remembers the dark night colors from the GBC in their childhood when they were from an emulator. Smells like bullshit to me.
>>58741129> most people played GS on the monochrome Game Boywould explain why Crystal sold so badly, it was locked to GBC while everyother game could be played on a 1980s device for cheap
>>58741129I own Crystal physically, I could show you if you like.Granted, I played it as an adult on an SP, so make of that what you will
>>58741135It was like a $10-20 difference in price and the GB was far harder to come across during gen 2's release. Everyone was using a GBC.
>>58741135this larping retard definitely wasn't there
>>58741141everyone already owned a gameboy and a lot didn't upgrade for a single pokemon game that came out around the same time GBA was coming outYes the GBC cost about the same, but those kids already owned a GB
>>58741144>a lot didn't upgrade for a single pokemon gameNo, everyone was playing on a GBC well into gen 1. There is hardly any documented evidence of gen 2 being played on a GB.
>>58741129>>58741148>>58741143So did people play pokmeon on the GB or GBC
>>58741150idk i wasn't there
>>58741150gbc
>>58741169So this post >>58741129 is full of shit
>>58741174yes the johtofags were full of shit
>>58741182>post implies johto fans are zoomers using emulators>gets called out>doubles downchill out anon
