Say it with me once more: Gen 2's Pokemon were a supplement, not a replacement, for the original 151
>>
What's the point of a supplement if you never get to use 3/4 of them until postgame?
>>
>>12131929
You mean just 4 lines? Two which are shit?

stop making this thread, nobody here cares

I'm happy as long as I have my boy Spinarak

Why would I say anything with a silly little child parroting talking points it heard on youtube?

pokemon fans are literally the dumbest consumers on earth which is why they buy the same game over and over since the gameboy advance. They wont understand this and theyll never understand what makes pokemon good.
>>
>>12132125
Pokemon fans are dumber bronies
>>
>>12131929
You were supposed to use them to battle your friends
>>
>>12131927
Man I love these games, so much passion. So much soul.
>>
>>12132125
>all Pokémon ga1es are identical!
I bet you think all Dragon Quest games are identical too, because God forbid a series doesn't changes genre for no fucking reason
>>
whats with the obsession and new falseflag to make zoomers hate johto
>>
>>12134564
Zoomers already hate johto because it got a better reputation than their shitty nu gens
>>
>>12132385
I expect sequels to expand on, refine, and evolve both the series and the genre.
>>
>>12134678
That's exactly what GSC, RSE and DPPt did
>held items, new types, abilities, physical special split, etc
But no those don't count because you explore a region and battle 8 gym leaders during the story...
>>
>>12134564
It's a /vp/ gen war psyop. /v/ and /vr/ prefer the older gens, so in order to sow division nu-gen /vp/edos are trying to put older fans against each other, right now gen 2 is their target.

Yes it is autism.
>>
151 was a fine number which they should have kept from the start not milked and degraded it with endless slop.
>>
>>12134689
There's nothing wrong with the basic formula, the problem with Pokemon is that it takes entire generations for it to fix its long-standing UI problems such as a lack of things happening in tandem (attack animation and damage feedback overlapping for example) and redundant text that could easily be UI/HUD elements instead. Some of these add in extra seconds and button presses that are completely unnecessary. The only one I can actually stomach is B&W which can still be heavily improved in many ways.

FYI as someone who works in manufacturing, I can tell you that those "seconds" and "button presses" can add up to hours and even days very easily. When manufacturing at scale, companies will spend staggering amounts of money just to save five seconds and it will be worth every fucking penny.
>>
>>12134765
Nah. Gen 2 was always just the lesser sendoff. Faggots who missed out on Gen 1 started claiming it's superior when none of us who were around for both thought so, so now we hate Gen2 fags for trying to claim "OG fan" while also saying the original games aren't best when they definitely are between the two
>>
>>12134823
You’re trying too hard
>>
>>12134836
Trying for what? Are you saying it's bad for real Gen1 fags to act superior when you try to use us to seem superior by association despite saying Gen1 sucks?

You're annoying faggots caught between gens. Gen2 is the worst of the first three because it's basically just an add on with no identity. It's also fucking depressing, like it feels like a ghost town compared to the lively stand alone worlds of gens one and three, and it has Team Rocket being chumps dying out with nothing taking it's place, like I didn't even play Gen 3 fully till adulthood in my thirties but it's at least mechanically better and not riding Gen1s coattails for cred. Gen2 really only had one thing going for it, Dark Types, and the games don't utilize them well at all. Gen2 sits in this weird depressing ground of saying goodbye to Gen1s borderline dark for kids scifi focus to typical mythological god jrpg stuff, I don't prefer Gen 3 at all to Gen1 but I can respect it's individuality as opposed to Gen2 being in every way an awkward middle ground that pleased nobody other than people who are nostalgic for it as their first game. It was a massive letdown reading fanzines about new Pokemon only to have them all suck or be locked to post game in a game that mostly uses Gen1 mons, like Gen2 is fine but nobody thinks it's the best other than people who started with it, period

As someone who started with Gen 3 and couldn't give less of a shit over your precious "pokemania nostalgia" bullshit. Gen 2 mogs the shit out of gen 1 and so does Gen 3 and Gen 4.
>>
>>12135052
Gen2 is objectively bad. Bad Pokemon distribution (everyone who plays will have the same team it's so limited without reporting to shitmon), and the level b curve is so bullshit you're likely to beat the game with stage one mons, and it's all the same Pokemon from Gen1 but with a worse map and more HM bullshit and hidden evolution stones. And only two of the starters are cool because one is for girls. It's the most trash objectively

You're the samefag anyway, autist
>>
>>12135235
Translation
>boohoo finding new pokemon is hard
>boohoo training pokemon is hard
>>
>muh level curve
Doesn’t the game incentive you to breed pokemon after Whitney? If you actually breed Pokemon or explore the level curve becomes irrelevant.
>>
>>12135045
>everyone laughing at the retarded child is one person
Why are reatrded children like this?
>>
>>12135242
>If you actually breed Pokemon or explore the level curve becomes irrelevant.
Wouldn't that make you even more under leveled?
I've always thought the game expects you to use the legendary bird and at least one of the dogs to balance things out in the E4.
>>
>>12135447
I was thinking about the large amounts of level 20 pokemon trainers have.
Grinding before the elite 4 was a thing in gens 1&2

lol. Reality be like it be kiddo.
>>
>>12131927
No one has ever said Gen 2's Pokemon are a "replacement", what? People complain about the exact opposite in reality- the Johto games have dogshit distribution and the Gen 2 Pokemon are overshadowed in their own region

But you can't catch em all, you need either to be lucky enough to attend an event that gave Mew to mindcontrolled scum attending or you need to use an exploit. Otherwise, fuck off subhuman.
>>
>gen 2 mon aren’t op and super special
I think people are too used to Pokemon power creep. God forbid past gen pokemon be usable
