My first ever Pokemon game was Black. What was your reaction to finding nothing but “new” Pokémon when you played BW for the first time?
>>59203340nothing, because they weren't new, because I got spoiled on all the pokemon from the japanese release months in advance, rendering the entire "new pokemon only" gimmick entirely fucking meaningless
>>59203340>sloppa OP
>>59203340Was very happy after years of the same boring staples like Zubat, Geodude, Tentacool, and Magikarp.
>>59203340I liked it. In fact I think all games should be like this. It felt refreshing for a pokemon game not having the same slop rehashed over and over and gave Unova a more memorable identity.
>>59203357>In fact I think all games should be like thisThat will never happen again. Unova was the first game outside of "Japan". Im guessing people hated not seeing older Pokemon.
>>59203340We already have like five fucking Hilda threads, can you faggots not just stick to one thread
>>59203340It was just an escape dude, I didn't think about it. I liked the way the routes looked, sometimes the camera moved, and the music was good.
>>59203364Not even that, making dexes big enough to fill an entire region is never happening again. GF already feels like there's too many pokemon, ever since gen 6 they have designed regional dexes to be as concise as possible.
>>59203388They barely add 60 new Pokemon anymore.
>>59203340it's so cool that there was only new pokemon, and 156 of them. i wish pokemon would do this type of thing again but they never will due to the backlash. it's very sad.
>>59203340“These kind of suck”
>>59203347I was spoiled on all of them too but it was still fun to finally get to play with them. I remember printing out every Pokemon from Serebii and taking it to school to show everyone and we would brainstorm our teams just from looking at the sprites.
>>59203340I didn't really notice it.
>>59203340I was a faggot and looked at leaks. I kinda set up my whole team before the games even came out. I picked Snivy, and then I replaced it with Ferrothorn. Only time I've ever boxed my starter.
>>59204015They should make ut so for the first half of the main story you only get new Pokémon, but after beating the fourth gym leader, you get a KANTOOOO starter and old Pokémon start appearing in the world.Maybe the story is that the region had a strict tradition to never let in any foreign Pokémon so the region exclusively has native Pokémon, but then an evil team accidentially crashes a freighter full of smuggled KANTOOOOO mons on the coast and they all escape and start breeding in the wild and sliwly drive away all the native Pokémin.
>>59203340Fun honestly.I'm generally the kind of guy who prefers using new Pokémon anyway, and the entire game felt like a fresh experience because of it. Like it was when I originally played Red on the Game Boy Pocket.First thing I did when I beat the game was transfer in most of my old 'mons, but that was more just to have them than dislike of the Gen 5 roster.Wish they did it again, but I doubt that's ever going to happen.
>>59203340I liked it, but most of the designs just aren't good. Discovering new mons isn't fun when you dislike how most of them look.
>>59203340It was my second. The reveals from corocoro scans and everything were crazy. I think the second batch of reveals, the one with patrat, pidove, maybe alomomola, was put on Serebii at 7am on a weekday. I printed it out to show my friends at school because it was 2010
