I never realized HeartGold and SoulSilver had 16 badges and an endgame. It's nice. Which other generations have this anons? I want to experience this feeling again and I'm hoping another generation has the whole 16 badges plus end-game content stuff. Which has the most content, in fact?
>>58802160Content objectively peaked with HGSS. B2W2 comes close, even if it only has 8 badges.
>>58802163Ah so nothing else has 16 badges?
>>58802163>B2W2 comes close,no it doesn’t
>>58802216Yes it does>>58802163>>58802178It has 40 badges (8 badges + 32 from the PWT Gym Leaders.)
>>58802178Technically SV has 18 badges (8 gym, 5 team star, and 5 titan), but that game has less content than HGSS, and even the original GSC unless you want to shell out 35 extra bucks for the DLC.>>58802216Quiet Yawnfag, the adults are talking.
>>58802226no it doesn’t
>>58802234SV as in Scarlet Violet? Sorry, I don't know all the initialisms for the fandom, I stopped playing after Black & White years ago but am on a kick now.
>>58802572yeah Scarlet and Violet, glad to hear you're enjoying yourself. there are no bad games just approach each of them as a different experience and you'll enjoy the rest!
>>58802605>no bad games>Sword and Shield existI'm autistic af for this series and even I couldn't finish that trash. Literally the only game in the franchise I couldn't find any enjoyment in.
BW comes the closest structurally with the endgame loop going into the Elite 4 rematch and actually becoming champion, even if it's far less than what even GS was doing and the optional boss battles are significantly disconnected from most of it. DP and SM are just kind of maps around the Battle Tower clone and RS and XY don't even fucking try. As for most content in a more general sense, something like Emerald or B2W2 are probably the best options as there's only a little overlap with what HGSS provide, but neither of those games have the campaign-like content that HGSS offers (B2W2 has some BW maps recontextualized but there's not a compelling reason to visit them unfortunately). HGSS is probably the best whole package unfortunately, so you've arguably hit the peak unless you really like something else about the Gen 5 titles or something in Gen 7 really speak to you. Like you don't strike me as somebody who would enjoy ORAS's connectivity features where half of them don't work because 3DS online is dead, let alone XY or Sword/Shield's nothing.
>>58803486>BW comes the closest structurallyno it doesn't
>>58803448I have the same problem with black and white. Also for swsh it makes sense hop is an annoying faggot
your op pic is fucking my shit up
>>58802160>emerald8 badges battle frontier with 14 symbols - which are essentially badges, and you can rematch gym leaders
>>58803507Hahahaa it's great right?
>>58803511I'll probably check that out next since I never played it in the past. Growing up I played Red/Blue/Yellow, some others like Black/White, and Sun/Moon or X/Y, I forgot which exactly. I skipped some in the middle, so Emerald seems like a good candidate.
>>58803492Instead of seething make a counter-argument you giant fucking baby.
>>58802216>>58802340https://www.serebii.net/black2white2/medals.shtmlNow seethe elsewhere
>>58804261>it has ribbons but worse so that means the content comes close to HGSSweird cope
>>58802160None
>>58804189
>>58802160these are the pokemon games with the most content so any of these games will do nicely if you want to play something else
>>58802160the kanto badges are a boring easy boss rush, who cares about badge countthe battle frontier (which is copy pasted from platinum) is where you get good battles for the main game
>>58802160Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has 18 badges, 5 story routes and an epilogue
>>58804296>x and yblud thinks he's a part of the team
>>58804451The numbers don't lie.
>>58804278>RibbonsThey’re more comparable to Trainer Card achievements, just admit that your IQ is too low for this kid’s game
