Oh boy, I can't wait to use those new Johto pokémon!1% encounter rate? if it's that rare then it must be really strong!
>>58858181>noooooo! every mons need to be omgon approved else I can’t use thembort mentality
>>58858181AYO where is x-scissor??
>>58858207Gen 2 had only:Leech LifePin MissileString ShotTwineedleFury CutterMegahornSpider Web
Worth it for Yanmega. Though really Sinnoh saves a lot of Johto (and Hoenn) shitmons
>>58858193OP being a smoggiesttranny spoiled by nugen powecreep doesn’t change that Yanma is shit even by old Gen bug type standards, it’s legitimately one of the few Gen 2 Pokémon that’s as bad as th Johto shitmon stereotype suggests. Ans it doesn’t even have early game bug mon excuse like Ledian because it’s rare as fuck for no reason even though it’s just my mom’s dragonfly.
>>58858235>she is unaware how broken SonicBoom is early gamelol
>>58858235>eslopinion discarded
>>58858181Oh wow, this kid wants to trade me a new Pokemon I've never heard of before? And all I need is a SPEAROW!? It must be super good if I can't find it anywhere else!
>>58858263>dstard discover what a scam is
>>58858290>it's ok when gen 1 does it>NOOOOOOOOOOO IT'S A BAD THING WHEN GEN 2 DOES IT
>>58858290trust me dstards know what a scam is
>>58858307fair enough, they did bought bw after all
>>58858181Poor fucking Yanma…>>58858263To be fair, Spearow is a pretty even trade. Not a scam. Yeah, Fearow is way better, but Spearow are common and easy to have/get an extra of.
>>58858263>all I need is a [common mon]wow...
>>58858263>swords dance>slashthis is good by gen 1 standards
>>58858470...Until you remember that critical hits cancel out attack boosts.
>>58858181Weak & rare is a cool combination.
>>58858240By the time you get to level 19, sonicboom is already falling off, yes. Ledian at least has screens. Yanma is literal dogshit.
>>58858181>Pretending this is a Gen 2 problemGen 1 has this problem even worse.
>>58859278Yes, but Gen 2 is the scapegoat of fandom so it’s the only one peope are allowed to criticize
>>58859291All the more reason to take regular fat shits on Gen 1 then.Gen 1 is unfinished glitch-filled garbage and Gen 2 mogs it in every way.>MUH LEVEL CURVEI'm sorry, you're confusing it with Shitnova where half the dex doesn't evolve until well into the postgame.
>>58858181That’s gen1 Scyther pretty much
>>58859278Incorrect. There are no true 1% encounter rates in gen 1. Anything with a 1% encounter rate in an area can be found somewhere else at 4% or higher, and these are mostly good Pokemon like Tauros, Chansey, and Clefairy. RBY's game design philosophy for encounters made sense.
>>58859278no it doesn't
>>58859278gen 1 gets a respect bonus for being the first game
>>58858181I like how this scenario is true for at least three other shitmon
>>58858193>OMFG SHITTY NORMAL ATTACKS ANY MON CAN USE ARE SO FUN!
>>58859796It does, because gen 1 has fewer moves to pick from and every pokemon has a dogshit movepool of like 10 moves.>>58859799Only if you're a nostalgiatard. I don't give any game respect based on its placement in release order, only on its own merits.
>>58858296>>58859278why do (you) assume Gen 2 haters happen to like Gen 1?Gen 1 and 2 are brother and sister generations, they get along more than any other pair of generations. Anything otherwise is a falseflag
>>58860482yeah let's pretend gen 2 didn't have the biggest drop in sales in pokemon history, ruin the anime, or lose pokemon's relevance in the mainstream. facebook moms only remember gen 1 for a reason.if any gens are getting along it's 3-4 for the romhack scene or 8-9 for zoomers and gen alpha
>>58859396>I'm sorry, you're confusing it with Shitnova where half the dex doesn't evolve until well into the postgame.Lance is 4 levels before Ghetsis and 9 below Iris. Also, what does this have to do with preparing for Clair sucking?
>>58858181>The fucker didn’t even learn Wing Attack initially >Final move is fucking ScreechEmbarrassing
>>58858181>>58858263>It's a other "zoomers compare classic era movesets to modern moveset bloat instead of comparing it to other movesets of the time" episodeHow many times do you retards need to be told that typed moves were a legitimate rarity back then and the movesets need to be looked at in that light
>>58860680>it's another "boomer gets defensive about bad game design" episodeWe get it, games evolve and get better over time. For Pokemon, this remained true until 2013.
>>58860799Its must be very freeing to pretend to be retarded like that, you dont have to face being wrong when hiding being ironic stupidity.
>>58860382if it was nostalgia I would be saying gen 1 doesn’t have any flaws. but i’m not, and it does. i’m saying that people give it more grace because without gen 1, none of the other games you like more would exist.
>>58858181So glad modern games give Pokemon actual fun movepools instead of mostly Normal moves and a subpar STAB move if you’re lucky.
>>58858235Get the right phone number (the trainer tells you he looks for rare pokemon) and the chance increases quite hard. Rare also does not equal strong.
>>58858181desu a lot of pokemon had shit level up movepools until fucking Gen 7 for some reason, not even Gen 6 fixed them all
>>58861108Yeah yeah, and in ten more years people will be saying "a lot of pokemon had shit level up movepools until fucking gen 10 for some reason, not even gen 7 fixed them all" bevause you'll be judging them on whatever new standard is most common at that time. Heard it all before, the exact same conversations were had about gen 4 fixing movepools too.
>>58858263A level 23 mon with swords dance can carry in gen 1, doe.
>>58860382if everything has a dogshit movepool, nothing does
