How did you react as a kid?
this was unfathomably kino then and it remains so todayalso applies to hgss
i got a boner and started masturbating.. that's the power of Kanto
Don't talk to NPCFuck off retard
>think you've explored the whole map, which already had a lot to do>SURPRISE BITCH, WE CRAMMED THE MAP FROM THE FIRST GAME IN HEREit was awesome.and yeah I know they had to trim it down a bit to fit it on a gbc cartridge, but i never noticed that as a kid, at least not until I got to where viridian forest wouldve been,and even then it didn't bother me (and still doesnt) because holy shit, two whole regions to explore and conqueri remember being super disappointed with RSE only having one region, with like half of it being water, although to be fair hoenn's routes cover a lot of ground and most of em have a lot to explore and i grew to appreciate it a lot more over timethe johto games have a special place in my heart just on account of how huge they feel, especially when i was a kidwhen hgss was announced it was the most excited i had ever been for a new game (and has yet to be topped). game didn't disappoint, best game in the series if you ask me.
>>58902159That reaction feels like it better fits when you travel the main area by boat and arrive in Vermillion. You don't get to see the old stomping grounds the first way though. Even Victory Road is very different.
>>58902166thats true yeah, but i kinda put two and two together as a kid from what the fat guy at the entrance said, along with the guards in the entrance to victory road
>>58902119I screamed KANTOOOOOOOOOOOO at the top of my lungs
>>58902119I was tackled to the ground by Kanto border security. To be fair, I was smuggling rare candy.
>>58902119nobody knew what kanto even was till FRLG actually provided context that was missing from the originals
>>58902166>he didn't open up his PokeGear to see the new mapSeeing I still had a whole separate region I'd get to explore/revisit was kino, especially as a young kid completely absorbed by Pokemania.
>>58902119I looked at my map and went 'cool, I wonder what's changed'
>>58902119>kid>gen 1You must be like 40 lmao
>>58902119KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>58902119>*Gasp!* "I can go back to Kanto? Yay!">Get hit with Tohjo Falls>No Waterfall>Go back to Johto annoyedI was the kid who always backtracked to see what I missed when I obtained objects and moves that allowed me to find new paths, so when I saw Kanto I was like "cool!", but then I had to find another move so I was a bit peeved.But I was hyped for sure.
>>58902119I opened my map and then was stunned to find out there was an entire second world to explore.
>>58902119I checked my map like he told me to, and realised I'd actually be able to visit all the places I saw in Pokemon Blue.
>>58902159>i remember being super disappointed with RSE only having one regionPokemon as a video game series never really recovered from that disappointment. People have been asking for a Pokemon game with every single region ever since.
>>58902119I didn't because a gaming magazine spoiled it for me
>>58903145Likeiwse. I was already aware I could reach Kanto in this game before I was able to personally do it. Spoils it, but I still think it's really cool.
>>58902119the word Kanto had never been used before so I was confused and then I checked the map and realized it meant the RBY region and was really excited.
>>58902119>checked my map>saw that i was in kanto>went holy shit>got grounded because i was 10 and said holy shitGSC and HGSS will forever be the best games.
>>58903250Forgot to mention this story was about HGSS. Johto games are just that good.
Can't remember but probably did a poo in my pants because i was 3
>>58902119get the fuck out of my face fatso you're some swindler like the one that tried to sell slowpoke tails

>>58902119long time lurker posting for the first time to share some love for Iwata. It was because of his coding genius, incredible people management, and sheer love of surprising and delighting players that this even made it into the game. Nintendo is a much lesser company without Iwata. RIP. In response to the post's question, I agree with the first reply; it was unbelievably kino and still gives me goosebumps on reply. The music definitely helps and adds to the atmosphere and overall epicness. Also Reggie too, who campaigned for free Wii Sports... Nintendo have lost so much soul in their absence.
>>58902119ok>check mapoh ok>actually play it an hour latereh... why is everything like level 10...
>>58903357It's even better in the remake.https://youtu.be/u0lJgUjQZ7kIt doesn't get more triumphant than this.>>58903565proof you didnt play the game, the trainers are all appropriately leveled
>>58903570i was clearly talking about the wild pokemonno need to get so defensive
>>58903578There's a schizo that takes everything literally and refuses to read between the lines to shitpost. Do not take her seriously or the thread will reach bump limit.Anyway I also found it disappointing to explore. I think gen 2 fags care more about grand ideas than actually playing through them.
>>58903578>wtf why are the wild pokemon that were established to be low level in the previous game low levelretard
>>58902204ThisI don't remember it being exciting just confusing at the NPCs excitement. I knew there was something on the other side but just figured it was more gyms. I might be retarded and don't even remember realising I was seeing the areas from blue.
>>58902159Pretty much my thoughts in general. It was really awesome to see Kanto years later and how a lot of things changed.
>>58902119Well we didn't know what Kanto was, so. Now when we checked the map, however... it was pretty cool.
>>58902900Yes.>>58903116>mgba colorsFucking disgusting.
>>58903565Cause it wasn't meant to be a challenge in that regard. You're not a kid just leaving pallet town, you're a ultra high powered combat veteran, looking for other veterans rather than needing to train on rattatta
Was it really that bad, fellas? I don't remember caring (or noticing).
>>58902119I already knew because I bought the official guide and read through it like 5 times before I even played most of the game.
>>58902119This and the secret Red fight were the greatest moments of the franchise
cumd
>>58903836Kinda similar. I didn't own the guide but some kid at school did and there was talks of going to Kanto so I already knew before I got there.
i came in my pants
