Now that the dust has settled, what was your opinion on the best version of Gen 1?
>>59444055it was baddy bad
>>59444055My opinion is, compared to the originals, most of the differences are improvements. I enjoyed the emphasis on catching Pokemon.
>>59444055Better than RBY but that's not saying much
>>59444055>no abilities, day/night cycle, or non Kanto mons>set in Gen 7 so added unnecessary moviegame interruptions>insufferable GO catching mechanics, can't play with a pro controllerReally testing my patience as to whether I'd rather play them or BDSP
>>59444135Of course those features aren't there, they weren't in the original. And there are hardly any cutscenes.
>>59444055All you have to do is not use your starter and it's a perfectly balanced game
>>59444055>implies LGPE is the best version of Gen 1Lul 0/10 ragebait. Opinion discarded.
FUCK that game.While I understand it's one of the best speedruns, the art style is really good, and it did following / riding Pokémon the best to date, the issues are constant>candies are single feed, no mass use>catching is awful, anything but excellent usually breaks out>moving catches are worse, only being undocked let's you accurately try to target>locked mew behind a dogshit Go add-on>no non-G1 evos, even in postgame>box management is far far far worse than any other game (aside from G1 and old limitations)>get any amount of chain over 11 and the sky is FLOODED with spawns and Dragonites and Charizards, like Kanto is such a weird hellhole>even more worthless rival than usual. Blue expy in a game where Blue still shows up
>>59444055>what was your opinion on the best version of Gen 1?FRLG are great. Good thing they added the best version to Switch this year to celebrate the anniversary
>>59444055FRLG > LGPE
>>59444174>Chase and Trace werent in the original>3D graphics werent in the original>Overworld encounters werent in the original>Mega evolutions werent in the original>Yet theyre all thereThe game was GOpromotioslop dressed up a KANTOOO remake, nothing more
>>59445257Ah no, be fair. It means they weren't going to bother trying to make another one for the 30th anniversary. That's at least one good thing it did.
>>59444055Despite having the least amount of content of all the Switch Pokemon games it is the one I've played the most. 8 years later I'll still pick it up and shiny hunt or grind up a Pokemon to take on a Master Trainer.
>>59444055Why is there still no patch to play with the pro controller? Or to have standard wild battles?
>>59444055>gives you THE pokemon whos appeal is you can choose what way you evolve it>refuses to let you evolve itI fucking hated how in the anime evolving pikachu was somehow bad or shown as cynical or some shit. Its the same pokemon but stronger. Fuck 2 of the best forms of eevee are from being a good friend to it
>>59445752list the 2 eevee friendship evos.
>>59445755Espeon and Umbreon. Is this supposed to be a trick question>but but they were gen 2Fine but the point is evolution isnt sinister
>>59445832no, i wanted to see if you like troonbreon, lol.
>>59444063
>>59444055I played this game on switch lite, and never could I ever use the exclusive partner move ffs.
>>59444055I hate the catching mechanics in this game. I hate motion controls in games because they're usually shit, I feel like my balls just go all over the place no matter how straight I waggle it. It would be fine if I could just catch my team of 6 and be done with it, but the game forces you to catch to progress through gyms or if you want the starters. Also the affection mechanics suck because I can't do anything about them. People complain about it with BDSP, but at least in that I can use herbs to bring friendship down, but herbs aren't in these games, so I'm just stuck with it. Also the added characters suck, Trace is such a downgraded rival compared to Blue. With that said though, they do look alright at least, especially to the games that came out after it. The partner Pokemon are pretty cute and feel like they do more than Pikachu in Yellow did.
>>59444055Except for the chibi shit, it has the best looking graphics for the Switch games.They should really, really stick with the anime looking graphics and stop this realistic shit.
>>59444055Partner Pikachu and Partner Eevee should be in Champions but take up the gimmick slot, also Light Ball should work on Partner Pikachu
>>59444055I just started this a couple weeks ago. Can’t believe you need to catch over THIRTY-ONE times without dropping for a good IV mon. At first I thought I would hate this but when I locked in and finally reached that high combo it was pretty satisfying. You have to level up this way too, so I get to kill two birds at once I guess. Throwing balls was pretty fun, when it works. I didn’t realize you can throw overhand and it’s more accurate that way. However, you go broke really easily if all you’re doing is catch comboing. I rode my Persian everywhere spamming Pay Day just to get enough for the damn fortune teller and Ultra balls. Overall the games made me realize Pokemon Yellow was ahead of its time. Wouldn’t mind this style for other games. Limited movesets made team building more interesting imo. Although maybe they could bring abilities back.
>>59444055They completely changed (increased) the levels of trainers' Pokemon in mid to late game. Feels more balanced than the original Yellow.
