The most epic gaming moment in History!
k
>>12455069Ash > Red
>>12455069Nah
>>12455073my mind can not wrap my head around how movement like this is even possible in super metroid.
>>12455103And now the Pokemon anime is a mess with no coherent cast or plot.
>>>/vp/
>>12455103As much as I like the Red battle in GSC, I hate that it made people think of a "canon" Red which defeats the purpose of the player character. Red could be some kid who smashed through the game overleveling his starter, or used a team of 6 rattatas and cheesed his way, or used any Gen 1 OU tier team. His GSC team is just all the Pokemon you get or will encounter as a given to you with Espeon being implied that he's a good friend to his Pokemon since his Eevee evolved into it. It would've been beyond the capabilities of the games, but would've been fun if Red got the first championship team from whatever RBY playthrough you traded with firs in the time machinet or maybe one you selected as your own "past" game
>>12455073THE SPEED IS KILLING THE PIXELS...
>>12457538If you copied the player file over from a gen 1 game, it would also open up the possibility for the character to be called "Blue" or "Yellow" when you meet him.Which would be weird in the context of the Pokémon Special Manga making those different characters, but who the fuck reads Pokémon Special Manga anyway besides gooks.
Do you remember if you were spoiled about this or Kanto in general back when you played GS?
>>12457679Nah, I was gassed as fuck.Some kid at school told me that there was a secret hidden mode where you could unlock even more countries, and he gave me this intricate sequence of actions to take in a precise order.I tried at least twice before I realized he was bullshitting me, because I am and was pretty retarded, and I was also blown out of my tiny mind by the sheer enormity of having TWO maps and TWO sets of badges to collect, since I played RBY to death six ways to sunday on a bootleg "24 games" cartridge my grandmother got me from Spain.I still have that cart, and it still works, even though it is tapes together and I replaced the battery with a specific size of hearing aid battery that was literally the same thing, so it could save again (this also works on gold and silver carts, because I changed the battery on my silver cart too, prolly fucks the resale value but idc)It also has Link's Awakening on it.
>>12457679Wasn't spoiled, even as a hoennbaby thsr started with Ruby this was absolutely mind blowing on top of the Night/Day cycle. Crystal felt like a such a much more bigger game than Ruby.
>>12457679I thought it was "that kid" being "that kid".
>>12455707I was watching the first few episodes of the anime and it was fire. Better world building and energy than the games ever had. Really good as an anime too
>>12455069Best final boss ever
>>12457679I remember specifically surfing across that little water area next to the starter town thinking i would just find an item, but then quickly had an "oh shit" moment.
>>12461641k
>>12461659>oh look another evil guy not something new like the main fucking character from the previous gameYAAAAWN
>>12461892>something newZoomer niggers begone
>>12462071>akshually wizardry 4 did it that game is terrible
>>12455069i'm convinced that red and blue show up in sun/moon purely to squash the fanon that red died in between gens I and II, and Gold battles his ghost.but fuck that retcon nonsense. Red's fucking dead.
>>12462087mamma mia
>>12462107no twists here so who cares, not even a rpg
>>12462112the thread isn't about twists or rpgs. it's about epic moments in gaming. can you fucking read?
>>12462107Yeah
>>12462087>that game is terribleso is pokemon
>>12462112>i didn't play this when i was 7 years old so it wasn't a twistok zoomie
>>12462115it didnt blow my mind to see mario there, it was just weird
>>12462125i did, not a twist it's the fucking first screen of the game
>>12455073Red was closer to being epic than this finale sequence, despite not coming close itself.>>12457679I wasn't spoiled about either. Kanto was a huge surprise to me, and even though it was underdeveloped, it was still a relatively amount of content that I had no reason to expect. Red was less surprising because there's so little to the encounter. It's more of a cute inclusion than anything significant.I think the opening sequence to Silent Hill or the battle at the end of Doom's E1M8 were both more "epic".
>>12461659>>12462115point is battling the previous protag is way more epic than evil jester is now evil god
>>12462092The later games don't even acknowledge their adult appearance in Sun/Moon. As far as the franchise is concerned, Red and Blue never aged past 10.
>>12462150It's not. Dancing Mad also shits on Lance's theme.
>>12455069I always see the same dogshit with GSC fags. Kanto is such a shock and a cool idea, but the region itself is gutted, boring to explore, and everything is underleveled as fuck. Fighting Red is such a shock and a cool idea, but he leads with a garbage Pikachu that's just setup fodder, then the rest of the team is a bunch of jobbers.
>>12462158>snes babbie thinks generic jrpg villain #401 is good because nostalgiaLol your faggot clowns gets totally mogged by Sepiroth which is not just unique but also influential
>zoomie's having a melty because someone didn't like their shitty childhood nostalgia gamehow bout that
>>12462187This. Kanto is nothing but the victory lap for winning in Johto as nothing except maybe Blue can hope to be a threat to you by then. Red's only real advantage over him is his higher levels.
>>12462204I agree, FF6 is overrated zoomer crap. They should play a real jrpg like Dragon Quest 3.
>>12462204Happens on /vp/ too. Funny enough there's a Johto thread full of them.
>>12462207DQ requires having a brain instead of just watching cutscenes.
>>12462207case in point
>>12462207square released a survey saying the average ff enjoyer is 40 now
>>12461659WTF is this shit?!
>>12455108Gen 5 aged terribly
>>12462350spoiler alerthttps://youtu.be/XgcbShn9x8g
>>12457574>If you copied the player file over from a gen 1 gamestop lying
>>12455103Red has visited Unova and Alola. Also Mt. Silver is literally in Johto.
>>12455103Ashnimefags are so pathetic, the only way Ash could win was literally cheating with 3 fucking gimmicks at once
>>12455069>full level 80 teamFuck off.
>>12465664Filtered
>>12455073>epic moments>instead of the baby metroid's sacrifice, Samus's suit being powered up by the remains, and revenge blasting the fuck out of Mother Brain while Samus's theme plays>some glitchy TAS of the escape sequenceYour brain and this video are of equal quality.
>>12467850>Your brain and this video are of equal quality.his brain is superhuman with perfect execution? fucking retard
>>12467871>Retard doesn't knows what quality means
>>12467850>glitchy = badAre we still in 2002 or some shit
>>12462187i'm with the other anons where i never had it spoiled or anything. some of the changes were weird (Lavender Radio Tower? WHAT Cinnabar Volcano?)but this one i don't get the most. it took me a while to even realise, 'oh that's their approximation on Viridian Forest?' couldn't you fit in one game map in the same space as some unused sprites, or something? just copy it over, use the new tilesets you have, change the monsters a bit.
>>12455069>play through Pokemon Blue>beat rival Red in the end>play through Pokemon Silver>get to Kanto>fight through the Kanto league >finally get to meet the champion and see how my previous character has been doing since I last played>it's actually my rival who stole my title and my clothes (maybe even killed me in the process?) because of his outrageous jealousy>beat him to get my final revengeKino as fuck, desu.
>>12455069Nah I've seen more epic.
>>12462395Read the comment, it’s a hypothetical.
>>12467885>i'm with the other anons where i never had it spoiled or anything. some of the changes were weird (Lavender Radio Tower? WHAT Cinnabar Volcano?)Around the time of Pokremon/the 20000s anime boom, there was a bunch of Japanese culture stuff out there for kids. Fox Famiy used to have a whole "anime" block(some of it was American shows based off JP properties) where they'd talk about life in Japan. One segment talked about Japanese cities being so densely packed, sometimes they'd have cemeteries on rooftops. So the Lavender Radio Tower felt like that, urban development displacing the old and ceremonial, especially with the radio. Always kinda wanted their to be a rooftop cemetery instead of moving it to another building though.The Adventures manga also had Cinnabar have a volcano before the anime got to Cinnabar, I think(97 for the manga, 98 for the anime). I suspect it's something GF probably had as notes for what Cinnabar would have but never got to depict it in Gen 1 proper. >couldn't you fit in one game map in the same space as some unused sprites, or something? just copy it over, use the new tilesets you have, change the monsters a bit.Kanto in general was a tight fit. Viridian here is more circumstantial since it's just there to replicate something in the first gameIf they could squeeze in another map into Kanto, I think people would've wanted the Safari Zone way more, or a more proper Seafoam islands. Viridian is important in Gen 1 because it introduces other trainers besides your rival, and some type variety, and the concept of different wild pokemon areas. But by this point you're long familiar with that, so they figured it wasn't worth wasting more space than a route.
>>12471360I could swear an NPC in R/B mentions that Cinnabar was built on top of a volcano.
>>12471360Very good post
>>12471360>the 20000s anime boomTime traveler spotted.
>>12455069Truly the peak of pokemon
>>12455069nah i've seen more epic
