What are some retarded decisions from past generations people don't talk enough about?>giving every nigger under the sun ToxicIt's incredible how long it took to fix Gen 1's garbage.
Random encounters existing in the games for as long as they did
Itemfinder before HGSS, it sucked
>>59263816weren't there several items that weren't even picked up by that shitty device?
>>59263796>What are some retarded decisions from past generations people don't talk enough about?Making the taxes to the guild off the job board 90%.Fuck you, Wigglyshit! I will never forgive you for this!Burn in hell, nigger!
The decision to have more than a single water based hm
>>59263823That was Chatot anon, Wigglytuff doesn't care and gets paid with perfect apples
>>59263796Removing field effects for abilities might have been the worst sin the switch era games commited.
>>59263796>What are some retarded decisions from past generations people don't talk enough about? Male and female nidoran not sharing the pokedex page
>>59263830Wigglytuff just pretends
>>59263830Chatot is a niggerfaggot.
Creating Ribombee
>>59263796Roaming legendaries, holy fuck
>>59263796Gen 2 having fuckawful TM's. Gen 1, for all of it's flaws, actually has a very selection of TM's. Many of them are given out very generously as well. Then you get to gen 2, and until you get to Kanto so many of them are complete trash.
Magearna. What the fuck were they thinking designing that stupid slut?
>>59264038Here as well, Shawn?
>>59264040This.I like the early game punches like everyone else but there are so many shitty tms.
>>59263796Eeveelutions in Yellow learning their basic STAB move at a lower level than you can acquire them
>>59263796Platinum adds an extra Dusk Stone to pick up during the campaign. Platinum also removes the only 2 Pokemon that evolve using the Dusk Stone from the regional dex, being Misdreavus and Murkrow.
>>59264334Reminds me how RSE only has one moon stone but you need two to evolve both Skitty and Jigglypuff.Lunatone can carry it (5% spawn lmao), but it's exclusive to Sapphire.Likewise in Emerald you need to grind Solrock for a sun stone if you want both Bellossom and Sunflora unless you just clone the damn thing.These old games really made you work for the most worthless shitmons.
>>59263811FPWP
Tauros and Miltank being different species. The fact that Miltank doesn't exist in Paldea is more retarded than Team Aqua/Magma and Rose combined.
>>59264605How are Team Aqua/Magma "retarded"?
>>59264605>Tauros and Miltank being different species.And yet GameFucks puts them together in the Alolan Dex. This company is weird.
>>59263796>All GensEXP All not being the standard after gen 1. The EXP share in modern games is so good, fuck grinding, it's a waste of fucking time.>Gen 1Not delaying the game to fix its bugs. The fact the type char doesn't work as intended and the promotional Anime LIES TO YOUR FACE ABOUT IT by saying "oh ghost beats psychic" is one of GF's worst crimes.>Gen 2The fact you need all three legendary beasts to get to Ho-Oh, and the fact the evolutionary stones are locked to Kanto. Also, heracross being exclusive to headbutt trees.>Gen 3The entire back half of the game. IGN was right, too much water, specifically because of the fact you need Surf, Strength, Waterfall, Dive, and technically Rock Smash to beat the game. You don't NEED fly but not having it is a pain in the ass so make that six HMs. That's 1/4th of every pokemon's move slots taken up by an HM, or one whole pokemon + 1/4th of another's move slots taken up by HMs.>Gen 4Having no fewer than three (THREE) Wifi-exclusive events, one of which just was not distributed at all (azure flute). Mt. Coronet. Fuck Mt. Coronet. Defog existing at all. The shit you have to go through to get spiritomb.>Gen 5Locking you out of the non-new mons in part 1. The awful writing making the word vomit a pain in the ass to deal with on repeat playthroughs. Wasting Team Plasma's potential to be nuanced. More stupid fucking events. The Genies, as a whole.>Gen 6Giving you a KANTOOOOO starter like 15 minutes into the game. Too many rivals. One good starter (Delphox). Again, dogshit writing and dogshit characters and unskippable cutscenes. ORAS being nowhere near the god-tier remake HGSS were.>Gen 7Making the same games twice because the first time was so bad. Same dogshit writing, characters, and unskippable dialogue. Shoving a bunch of KANTOOOO mon onto the first few routes. The drastic change to the formula of 8 gyms + E4 + Champion makes for a more shallow experience.The introduction of a true multiverse into Pokemon.
>>59263796A ludicrous number of water types getting Scald until SV finally dialed it the fuck back.
>>59264902>>59263796>Gen 8See gen 1. Needed more time in the oven. Dexit and the attempts to defend it. The writing, characters, etc are still dogshit. Raids. Like 80% of the dex is utter trash. The DLC and new regis that make no fucking sense. And, obviously, making a region based on Britain. LGPE being gimmicky alternate timeline sequels instead of true modern kanto remakes.>Gen 9PLA being a glorified gacha game tech demo with too much empty space and too many repetitive tasks. Making BDSP instead of a platinum remake. Letting ICLA make BDSP. Did I mention BDSP? BDSP. Giving players the technical ability to go anywhere in SV but not having trainers and gyms scale to your level based on badges obtained. Bad writing, bad characters, but hey you can fucking skip cutscenes now hallelujah! Champions, as a whole. Ugly ass character models for the humans. ZA as a whole.>Gen 10Killing whatever style the pokemon games had left in favor of hyper realistic dogshit.
I love slathering honey on trees, said no one ever.
>>59265047>I love slathering honey on trees
>>592637961. Mega Evolutions. No proper explanation of why it happens and why only certain mons get the special treatment.2. Dynamax. The idea while OK, is just too simplistic. Bad balance is just the cherry on top.3. Culling the dex without giving any lore reason in-game. Why bother explaining outside the game without the inside matching consistently? That just breaks immersion.4. Mystery Gifts. 5. Dream World.
>>59265669You just know this fucking spaz got it on his first or second try.
>>59267332I still have a bitter taste for Megas. Everyone is trying to forget the edgy as fuck SM dex entries they created to make it seem the Trainer is a monster for Mega-ing their Mon, which was just an excuse to shelve them for the mid mechanic of Galar.
>>59264458I’m sorry about your terminal retardation
>>59263796Dual versions.
>>59267338Luck is a skill
>>59267332I like megas when its distributed more fairly, its the only way some shitmons usable after years of powercreepsShit like hoenn cover trio and pseudo legends shouldn't get one
>>59263796Megas fundamentally dooming some shitmons to never being allowed to evolve. Sableye and Mawile are pretty much fucked forever now in any game that doesn't have Megas
>>59264608>Let's resurrect an ancient world ending pokemon without its counterpart>Oh no the ancient pokemon that was only said to bring destruction is now destroying the world like it was said it would? Aiiiieee help us protagonist sama!
>>59263816It was really nice in DPP. Touchscreen made it really convenient and it showed exactly where stuff was. Platinum in particular had a lot of hidden items too.
>>59267913They thought they'd be able to control it with the orb. Simple misunderstanding of the ancient legends.
Giving Close Combat to a bunch of Pokemon. I missed a couple games, move distribution is crazy now.
>>59267921They never talk about using the Orbs to control the Pokémon, just that using the color aligned one awakens them, and the opposite colored one calms them, but never that they would follow the wielder's orders.Their quote it basically "I will now use the orb to awaken Groudon/Kyogre" and them they get cold feet when they start doing what it was always said they would do.
>>59263821Other way around, there's several items that can't be picked up without using the ItemFinder first, even if you know the correct tile.
>>59264040>>59264291The TMs in both games are equally good and bad, you just don't get them as easily in GSC, I believe because the game was longer so they were trying to keep the power level of your moves lower so you can't just breeze through it. GSC does force you to engage with a Pokemon's level up learnset and work out slower strategies, or it would if you were playing it """properly""" and revamping your team every few towns. That level up moves are often godawful is a separate mistake that really, really makes it feel sucky.For the record, in RGBY there's bullshit TMs for:>Water Gun, literally intended for one early dungeon >Softboiled which is only for Chansey???>Egg Bomb which is only for Chansey and Exeggutor>Whirlwind which has no effect in trainer fights>Fucking Teleport which is at least a field move I guess?>Rage which is possibly the worst move in the game>Counter which is useless in Gen 1>Psywave lelAt least in GSC TMs were usable battle moves that weren't randomly only for two mons.The main difference is the Gym Leader gift TMs being lower powered and moves being more balanced, RGBY is crazy for giving you base 75 BubbleBeam at Misty and then immediately after giving you base 90 Dig, base 80 Body Slam, and base 90 ThunderBolt all at once.GSC has the infinite punches and Return/Frustration and Headbutt but they come slightly later at least.
>>59264902>WAAAAAAAAHHHHH I HATE HAVING TO ACTIALLY PLAY THE GAME BAWWWWFaggot.>need all three legendary beasts to get to Ho-oh???? Play the fucking game you retarded nigger.>muh stones!!!They're just as rare in Hoenn.>wwaaaaaahhhhhhKys
>>59263796Protect/dou le team on all mons and not tanky fast ones.Ice beam/scald not being opposites allowing mon learn just one.
>>59264902>EXP All not being the standard after gen 1. The EXP share in modern games is so good, fuck grinding, it's a waste of fucking time.I wish it worked like Gen 1, where it split the EXP. Instead of generating it out of nowhere and making you overlevelled just for sneezing at the wrong Pokémon.>Locking you out of the non-new mons in part 1.That was a good thing, though. Made the game feel like a fresh experience.And you can get the rest in the post-game. (Even if some are transfer-exclusive. But that's normal for Pokémon games.)>Giving you a KANTOOOOO starter like 15 minutes into the game.To appeal to people who bitched about the previous point.Do you not see the contradiction?>Making the same games twice because the first time was so bad.Third versions have always been a thing, though.>Shoving a bunch of KANTOOOO mon onto the first few routes.Again, to appeal to people like you who bitched about Gen 5.
>>59267947The only items like that are in FRLG - two cases of Leftovers under Snorlaxes and Macho Brace in Gio's gym.
Making ghost a physical type in gen 1 to 3
>>59263811>random encounters bad.Them being removed is the main reason why dungeons are hallways now.
>>59263831They dont work with the new encounter system>>59264902>Mt. CoronetComplain8ng about it id a forced meme. Its so easy to navigate.
>>59267938Because it was worse and more intense than they thought.
>>59267968>RGBY is crazy for giving you base 75 BubbleBeam at Misty and then immediately after giving you base 90 Dig, base 80 Body Slam, and base 90 ThunderBolt all at once.Bubblebeam is 65 base power, Dig is 100 (in Gen 1), Body Slam is 85, Thunderbolt is 95.
>>59268436Ok? That doesn't change my point at all, you go from having fucking bubble or water gun to a move almost twice as powerful, and the Vermillion moves are even more powerful. Why is this board full of faggy posts like this, where someone will reply like they're refuting a point but they're just nitpicking that someone's memory is wrong?
>>59268477>post wrong shit>get corrected>>REEEEE why are you like this REEEEE?Grim
>>59268309>They dont work with the new encounter systemFactually and demonstrably incorrect. Sandwiches have the same effect as abilities like static.
