Hi vr, for all us old fucks who were around for real Pokemania, do you actually like and accept any Pokemon past Gen 2? I so, which ones?
fuck off back to >>>/vp/ faggot
>>12252904Gen 2 was not part of Pokemania, but the lead up to it is.
>>12252904I do, and I accept all of them. To me, they're all the same because I don't get attached.
>>12252904B/W is respectable for using a fresh roster. Other than that, I think they're all kinda disappointing post 2.
Isn't there a containment board for you retards?
>>12252904I didn't like gen2 because it was girly. Age 36, original Pokemon kid. Gen2 was when only autists girls and gays kept going but Gen 3 got better even if I didn't play it until my 29s cause you got beat up for liking Pokemon by that time
>>122529045 > 3 > 7 > 1 > 9 > 4 > 2 > 6 > 8Only the odd numbered gens are good
>>12252904Gen 2 sucks, it’s not even good by /vr/ standards and I’d take any other Gen up to the switch over these shitty games
>>12252923>all that not retrotourist
>>12252904I used not to but after showing my kid firered I started ruby and it seems fun so far.
>>12252904gen 3 because it's a good engine to work with for rom hacks
>>12252929konnichiwa dude
>>12252904Only the first two gens are good
>>>/vp/
>>12253002This (skipping over gen 2 because it's bad)
>>12252923>7>9>goodclassic unovabortion
>>12252904Yeah, there's some cool Pokémon designs after generation 1 and 2. I'm not planning to play anymore of the games because the base formula hasn't changed enough to warrant playing them. I've got my fill of it, and I desire something else.
>>12252904You’re trying too hard
>>122529235 was so shit it got Masuda demoted from director and got the franchise killed
>>12252904No, gen 3 was when it become lame and gen 5 was when it became gay and lame
>>12254985gen 2 pokemon were fucking lame>b-but what about sciz-wow 10/100 of the designs were good. gold star.
>>12252905fipbip
>>12252905>>12255487Samefag + bad at the game
>>12253085Gen 5 was peak, genwunners just made a hissy fit didn't like it
>>12255235 Skarmory though <3
>>12255725The pokemon distribution was so notoriously bad in Gen 2 that it's common for the fanbase to genuinely mistake Skarmory (along with Slugma) for a Gen 3 mon
>>12255775>casuals didn't find the rare birdit's an op pokemon found late game for the 8th gym battle. I blame morons who never tried to look for rare pokmeon or normies who play once and never again
>>12255775I swear, I want to nuke every damn Rattata and Raticate in sight since it often feels like they're literally the only thing to catch in Johto.
>>12255725my favorite hoenn mon <3
>>12255781Gen 2 went out of its way to make some pokemon very rare/well-hidden. I personally liked that, but these days it's a common complaint. Actually, a lot of the common complaints about Gen 2 are things I enjoy about the game. I could never get into the games starting with Gen 4, so I guess there were some fundamental design shifts around then that didn't gel with me but the rest of the fanbase really likes.
>>12255797Skymory isn't even fucking hidden, it's just a rare encounter
>>12255809Skarmory got off easy compared to the likes of Larvitar or Misdreavus.
>>12255830>houndoom>misdrevus>slugma>larvitaroff the top of my head these are the only pokemon locked behind kanto
>>12255837>porygon 2>blissey>houndor, houndoom>larvitar, pupitar, t tar>slugma, magcargo>misdrevus>qwilfish and sneasel unless you play crystalliterally 10% of pokemon. meanwhile johturd is full of kanto slop and single stage gimmick shitmons like dunsparce and wobuffet. gen2 is objectively dogshit
>>1225585410 out of 100 locked behind end game content isn’t a big deal imo.>objectivelyI don’t think you know what that word means
>>12255837>>12255854You both also forgot Murkrow, as well as catching most of the parents needed to breed for the new baby 'mons. There's also the RNG of headbutting trees, fishing, and getting phone calls about swarms. But there's fucking Rattatas everywhere!
>>12255873>forgot murkrowhow the fuck did I do that, he's one of my all time favorites.>There's also the RNG of headbutting trees, fishing, and getting phone calls about swarms. But there's fucking Rattatas everywhere!Yeah headbutting trees is a pain, I have no idea how my brother got a heracross before internet walkthroughs helped with that shit.I don't think fishing or swarms deserve to be on that list though, not nearly as bad as headbutting
>>12255873Rattata is more common in Gen 2 than it ever was in Gen 1 and someone on the dev team said that was a good decision.
>>12255881If I remember right, a couple of the Johto mons require the Super Rod, which isn't found until Kanto. And it's either waiting for swarms or being patient enough to land that literal 1% encounter.
>>12255884Wanna know a fun fact? The Tin Tower where Ho-Oh roosts at literally has NOTHING but Rattatas and Raticates. At night, you might get some Gastlys, but that's it.
>>12255886AI doesn't say anything about fishing, so take that with a grain of salt if you will.
>>12255896Remoraid and Qwilfish can't be caught with anything short of a Super Rod, and Remoraid isn't in Crystal at all.
>>12255775i think they were trying to go for something like "oh you wanna complete the dex again? find this new rare pokemon in this secret area or during a limited time swarm!". battling with them wasn't the point, they kept pushing gotta catch em all and it aged like shit.
>>12255629>waaah retro game on the retro boardcry to a mod about it loser lmao
>>12256091I'm telling the schizo crying about it to fuck off

>>12252904I remember playing ruby on the GBA and I was like super hyped for it, it was kind of cool, amazing graphics but it just didn't feel the same. Unironically just didn't hit the same, FR.
>ignoring that post telling them to fuck off>i-it's totally the same person guysKeekeekkk
>>12256281why did you respond to yourself batschizo
>>12256294>>12256301>fuck off!>stop talking about retro games!it's not against the rules, cry about it

>>12256316It's one mindbroken schizo and like 2 other people samefagging.
>>12256318>It's one mindbroken schizoYes, that much is clear. You're just responding to yourself back and forth, and making the thread unusable.
>>12256325I'm not that brainrotted, sorry to burst your bubble. I'm not stopping anyone from contributing meaningfully.
>>12256330Yeah, I'm sure.Have fun with your imaginary persecution larp you've got going on here. Just keep it out of the other threads.
>>12256316>>12256325>>12256338>making the thread unusableironically you're doing this right now lol
>>12256316>>12256318>>12256330>>12256338it's a game from 2001, i can post about it here if i want you fucking loser lmao

>>12256340>>12256345>>12256348Very telling responses to being called out.Again, enjoy your thread. I'll be hiding it so you can have your fun.
>>12256351You wouldn't take me seriously no matter what I said so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>12256345forgot the >>>/vp/ in your post buddy
>>12256360you keep telling me to go back to /vp/, why does a retro game make you this fucking mad lmao
>>12256363I think we found Yawnfag's match.
>>12256372>spam go back to /vp/>bait anons not knowing better>reply the complete opposite of what they're sayingSharty isn't sending their best
I think there's like 3 posts in this thread about Pokemon.Do you people even like the game?
>>12256390I already responded to OP and said gen 2 sucks. The OP is nostalgiafagging so they haven't liked Pokemon for the past like 25 years.I'm here to watch the melty at this point.
>>12256390how the fuck are we supposed to talk about the game when there's someone telling us not to?
>>12256387i've seen this before. the goal is to shitpost and flood every pokemon thread so people stop trying to make threads.just something to keep in mind when batschizo enters the next one. funny how this behavior started when he got called out.
>>12256398>>12256406>>12256416From an outside perspective, it just looks like you're doing everything you can to avoid actually discussing the game.This is the kind of niche drama talk you'd see in a discord server, so it's no wonder you're getting pushback in the 5+ Pokemon (in name only, of course) threads on the board.
>>12256424I'm not stopping you from discussing the game, or Pokemania in this case.I'll build on my original opinion though. Gen 2 did a terrible job at keeping the Pokemania hype going. The show was the most important part of the franchise, but it got boring with all the filler and Togepi made Misty just another girl. It featured too many baby and first stage Pokemon, so the series felt kiddy. Most people didn't play the games anyway so they moved on to something else like the Yu-gi-oh anime/TCG.
>>12256480>Gen 2 did a terrible job at keeping the Pokemania hype goingHow old were you at the time? I was 9 or 10 and everyone I knew was still obsessed with pokemon (and DBZ) throughout Gen 2. It died off when Gen 3 released.
>>12256490'92. The hype was gradually dying after the first movie, but the hardcore fans became more zealous after GS. I don't think the Celebi movie had a theatrical release in my area, which was pre-Ruby and Sapphire. A bunch of my normalfag friends quietly moved on and gave away their cards, sometimes their own games.
>>12256480it was always pokemon that got the gay baby comments, never yugioh or digimon.>It featured too many baby and first stage Pokemoni think for budget reasons. imagine stretching the anime 3x longer than it needed to be and drawing feraligatr every time totodile showed up. it would get zero screentime.
>>12256518>it was always pokemon that got the gay baby comments, never yugioh or digimon.The show shied away from violence and darker themes and leaned too hard on cute moments with pokemon friends from the very beginning. It was never going to last for a demographic that was just introduced to GTA 3
>>12256518>budget reasonsThat's pretty obvious now but not for kids 25 years ago. They know to evolve their Pokemon in the games, but then Ash is using shitty first stage Pokemon in the fucking league again.
>>12256527pokemon could've leaned more into the edgy sci-fi shit from gen 1 but it didn't have to do that either. exciting pokemon battles would've been enough, but that might be the most difficult and expensive thing to animate
>>12252904gen 3 & 4 had some rad mons>metagross, groudon, rayquaza, claydol, deoxys, vibrava, cacturne, registeel, blaziken, masquerain, manectric, aggron, altaria, swampert, lunatone, crawdaunt, armaldo, salamence>weavile, dialga, lucario, garchomp, bronzor, infernape, empoleon, gastrodon (east forme), luxray, lopunny fart on my dick, toxicroak, glaceon, rhyperior
>>12252904Mystery Dungeon and Firered was fine.... but sure Gen 2 was best.
>>12252904>how do you do fellow oldsLmao
>>12252904The DS remakes of silver/gold, I have Soulsilver. Pokemon Let's Go! Eevee was surprisingly good, but that's all I think. It still blow my mind nothing has ever topped those games. I still don't know how they were able to fit the old world and johto on one cart, and the graphics and colors are perfect.
>>12257890>I still don't know how they were able to fit the old world and johto on one cartby bastardizing kanto and removing the safari zone and shit
>>12252904swablu and altaria is my favorite dragon lineglaceon is cutesnivy is my favorite grass starter line
>>12257920They sure got the little Johtimmies with that
