>>59121991DP is better than Pt, there I said it.
>>59121995How?
>>59121995dark souls 2 is the best souls game type opinion
>>59122001Cynthia is a joke in Pt where she is actually a threat in DP.
>>59122048she's weaker than her other version but she's still top 5 hardest battles in the main series easily
>>59121991Remove the BW2 category, Rapidash isn't available there
>>59121991Shouldn’t be controversial, this was the golden era
>>59121991Thats not what a truth nuke is
>>59121991>advent of the phys spec split>wifi trades and battles>all playable on a DS (that has backwards compat with GBA)>spinoffs of many genres releasing>numerous franchise fan favorite pokemon, characters, and tracks>added lore and story without derailing the flow of the game with long cutscenes>protag design and overall tone were slightly matured to match the preteen-teen audience>internet and fandom culture was at it's purest
>>59121991>gen 5 sneak
>>59121991Good lord DS was such a legendary generation for Pokemon.Never before never again.
>>59122159you really gonna discredit an entire game because you cant catch rapidash in it
fixed
>>59121991>Platinum was already more linear than DP>BW was the first hallway region with hypocrite story, no post game>BW2 was quantity over quality, with shitty key systemOnly HGSS was good, because Morimoto directed it.
>>59122324nobody plays spinoffs
>>59122329I do, and they're much better than mainlineslop.
>>59122329>nobody plays spinoffsTell that to Pokopia
>>59121995me when I lie
>>59122320Me when I don't get the joke
>>59121991Kill all postgamefags
>>59122170Yeah, truth nukes are usually factual statements that blindside people that refuse to accept them. Save for contrarians, everyone knows the DS era was the peak of Pokemon.
>>59122454>Yeah, truth nukes are usually factual statementsexactly
>>59121995Unironically someone could have this opinion if:>they like taking starters to fend off wild starlys better than Rowan just giving them to you>they prefer DP's sprites better >they like DP's exclusives more>they prefer DP's less linear Sinnoh>DP's Elite 4 is slightly more difficult
>>59122465>they prefer DP's less linear SinnohThis feels like a roundabout way of saying>they prefer Fantina as the 5th gym leader rather than the 3rd
>>59121991
>>59122501I love both of these gens
>>59122328>HGSS was quantity over quality, more linear than GSC, with all the 'extra' content being timegated dogshit, same boring shitmon dex, same garbage level curve, all the good TMs locked behind hours of monotonous minigames or the postgame, etcftfy, they're the only bad games on the DS including spinoffs
>>59122465>they prefer DP's sprites betterIn fairness, Pt’s sprites suck major ass compared to DP’sAlso, how is the E4 with Beautifly and Dustox more difficult than Pt’s?
>>59122512seething coonova tranny
>>59122510Most Gen 4 fans like Gen 5 and vice-versa, despite what /vp/ trolls would have you believe
>>59122524Aaron is easier, but Flint's unorthodox team and Lucian's Bronzong makes up for it. Bronzong is a beast due to lack of Fire types. Cynthia also has slightly higher levels compared to her PT version.
>>59122530yeah, yawnfag doesn't even like gen4, he only pretends to care about shit like muh ribbons and berry farming because those features are in gen 6 kek. https://arch.b4k.dev/vp/thread/56458570/#q56460049
>>59122530>Most [good game] fans like [bad game]What a strange cope
>>59122537stop pretending you like any of the DS games, retardbro.
>>59122538I like the good ones
>>59122538NTA but I believe HGSS is the best game in the franchise and that BW/B2W2 are...not bad, but not great either. Very "meh" Pokemon games
>>59122535I suspect yawnfag and PLAssfag are the same person given their methods of critique are so similar
>>59122556I suspect Yawnfag is a psyop by borts to make people like their games out of pettiness.
You Gen Alpha retards do realize your "meme" makes no fucking sense yeah? What the fuck is it saying, oh this game is horse ass but THIS game is... A horse head? Fucking stop and think before you just regurgitate bullshit you saw on some cancerous social media slop Holy fuck
>>59121991Yes. There was a solid 4 year span when ever game was a 10/10. It wasn't quite as big a the 90s Pokemania, but if you were in college at the time, it was close. You'd see people just walking around with Pokewalkers on their belts. Heck, it was so popular, Pokemon posts were one third of /v/ and they had to make /vp/ as a containment board.
>>59122599>There was a solid 4 year span when ever game was a 10/10DP and BW/2 aren’t remotely close to being 10/10 games.
>>59122604She meant 1998-2001.
HGSS followed by Guardian Signs was a fucking insane one-two punch of absolute kino that has yet to be matched
>>59122610based as fuck
>>59121991Should be emerald plat hgss b2w2
