* > IX
>>59058900Honestly a pretty solid take
>>59058900Opbp
>>59058900Wrong. As someone whose first game was Blue on an original gray brick gameboy in the 90s:IV > III > V > VI > VII > VIII > II > I > IX>Gen 4HGSS and Platinum.>Gen 3FRLG and Emerald.>Gen 5Mechanically sound even if the storyslop sucks ass.>Gen 6Added the modern EXP share, one of the best changes to the game to cut down on grinding. Also has ORAS.>Gen 7Painfully average in every way.>Gen 8PLA and LGPE.>Gen 2Fixes most of the issues with gen 1 and creates the standards for third versions of games. Also it's Johto, one of the most content-packed regions in the franchise.>Gen 1Buggy unfinished dogshit that has been supplanted by FRLG and LGPE. There is no reason to play RBYG in 2026 and having done a run of red version back in 2023, I can safely say it was the most miserable pokemon experience of my life.>Gen 9Underwhelming dogshit all around. What's worse than buggy unfinished dogshit? BEing fucking boring.
>>59059403>Wrong. As someone whose first game was Blue on an original gray brick gameboy in the 90s:Anyone who says this is a lying zoomer/alphie
3 > 2 = 1 = 4 > 5 >> 7 > 6 >>> 8 Didn't even bother with a single Gen 9 game so can't give real thoughts on it but I hated what I saw
>>59058900We've had this discussion already.Gens 3 and 4 are the definitive Pokemon experience.FRLG and HGSS are objectively superior to the originals, hence no reason to play gen 1 and 2 games. (Though I admit the original GSC graphics have a charm to them)Emerald and Platinum are superior to the Hoenn and Sinnoh remakes.No reason to play any of the newer mainline games as the regions are no longer based off of Japan.
>>59059587You'd be surprised, the common age of this board is people in their 30s
>>59059643Give me source that backs your statement
>>59059403>LGPE>gen 8
>>59060428It's a switch game, those are all basically interchangeable.>>59059587I'm 33 years old, turn 34 this year. I still have some of those cardboard disk badges from the event back in the 90s where they distributed Mews with certificates. Participation, Boulder, and Cascade, though I lost the latter at some point I think. I know the other two are on a shelf above my desk.
>>59059403I rarely agree 100% with anyone, even less in this mod-forsaken board, so you have genuinely impressed me.
>>59059403I'm also a genwunner and can mostly agree with this. I rate Gen 5 and sequels a bit higher.
>>59061285>I rate Gen 5 and sequels a bit higher.How high?
