You may not like it, but Pokémon peaked here.

Based. Keep the gen 3 threads coming until /vr/ can finally agree that gen 3 is the best.
>>12518000>>12518031Snore
>>12518031>>12518031>until /vr/ can finally agree that gen 3 is the best.WTF?
>>12518031Ehh, it's very close, but not my pick for the best. That would be Gen4.
>>12518000>no day/night cycle >fake expansiveness with water gimmicks >worse colour palette than gen 2 >worse music than gen 2 with annoying parping horns>gen 2 packed in all of kanto post game, can't do the same with johto here despite supposedly being on a more advanced console sorry, but it's a downgrade
>>12518076He's been trying to meme that for months now, it's surreal.
>>12518162>Heavily-shrunken Kanto with wet-paper trainers and almost every location of interest destroyedThis was a downgrade no matter how you try to justify it. Johto could have been so much better if time and resources weren't wasted on lame nostalgia.
>>12518162>no day/night cycleThis is ALWAYS what the Johto autists lead with. Pokemon isn’t a monster collecting RPG to them, that’s why they don’t care about so many Pokemon being arbitrarily stuck in one late or post game route or the level curve being ass. Because that doesn’t matter, the game is just their little escape from reality.
>>12518441that's right, gen2 is a proper jrpg adventure, you can keep your autism simulator.
The only thing that Emerald had going on was the fact that they made a big chunk of Hoennmons from the Altering Cave Event available as post-game content, making it easier for those who play FRLG to do a Living DexThe Battle Frontier is RNG bullshit that forces you to min-max and use cheesemons like Metagross so your Frontier Facility runs don't die in the very end. And while yes, it gets praised for giving everyone the competitive experience in single-player mode ( and becoming one of the "standards" that Pokemon fans wish was included in every third version of a Generational Title ), I doubt that everyone who played it when it first came out actually got as far as receiving all Gold Symbols.
>>12518031If it needs this much push then it's obviously shit, moreover, it reveals how childish gen 3 babies are.
>>12518492Johtomons*
>>12518492>I doubt that everyone who played it when it first came out actually got as far as receiving all Gold Symbols.Bold of you to assume I even touched it. I hated it so much that I prefer Ruby and Sapphire to Emerald.
>>12518421red was certainly not 'wet paper', and even a compromised kanto is still better than not having the previous location at all >>12518441day/night doesn't suddenly make the game not a monster collecting rpg, it only adds more variety in the way you go about catching them all, what a bizzare cope
>>12518547>day/night doesn't suddenly make the game not a monster collecting rpgNo, all of the Pokemon that got shoved in at the very end of the game in favor of every route being Rattata and Tentacool is what made it not much of a monster collector
>>12518000koff... Pokemon Crystal.FireRed was ok.
>>12518553>every route being Rattata and Tentacooloh cool, you didn't actually play gen 2 then
>>12518547Mt. Silver and Red is in Johto. That doesn't count.
>>12518569Okay anon. Whenever you're ready, explain to the class why it's actually a good thing that Rattata is on nearly every land route in the game instead of all these other Pokemon.
>>12518621NTA but I do have to question why so many of the newly discovered Pokemon are in the old region and not the new one
>>12518621rats are common pestkymons. its literally a common tier pokermon.
>>12518635It's quite odd that Rattata was in 7 locations in the gen with 151 Pokemon, but in 22 locations in the gen with 251. Thank god those 17 other Pokemon that are barely available didn't crowd it out.
>>12518621>REEEEEE newly discovered rare pokemon are hard to find and are rare!!! Why do I only get access to them later into my journey!?!?People who started with gen 3 and after shouldn't be allowed to post. They're incapable of understanding the first 2 gens.
>>12518645>REEEEEEEE it wouldn't make sense to have newly discovered Pokemon in the new region! They all need to be in KANTOOOOOOOOONah I started with gen 1 and correctly saw gen 2 as a huge downgrade. Sorry!
>>12518651Nah I started with gen 1 and correctly saw gen 2 was peak. not sorry. iWinrar.
>>12518641that like 4 percent compared to 8 percent.actually that's a wrong gauge for comparision. number of locations should not depend on diversity of pokemons.number of locations increased about 2 fold in Crystal/Gold/Silver, but total number of pokemon did not.(number of pokeys only increased by about 60 percent.) so they had to stuff a "limited" number of pokemons into the larger number of locations. would be unbalanced if they threw more rarer pokeys into more locations to please you.
>>12518005Perhaps another Resident Evil 3 thread is more your preference
>>12518694>number of locations increased about 2 fold in Crystal/Gold/Silver, but total number of pokemon did not.(number of pokeys only increased by about 60 percent.)And Rattata's availability more than tripled, mostly in the new region.>would be unbalanced if they threw more rarer pokeys into more locations to please you.Many of those 17 Pokemon I pointed out, even fully evolved, have worse stats and worse movepools than even Raticate.Face it, they fucked it up. There's genuinely no defending that shit. It doesn't make sense lore-wise, it doesn't make sense balance-wise.
>>12518162Game Boy Advance > Game Boy Color !
>>12518708>it's ok when hoenn does it
>>12518000why did you post a fake cart
>>12518000It was actually the beginning of the end for pokemon. I won't say it's bad but it's no Gen 1 or 2.
>>12518000You're right, it really did. Nice numbers btw
>>12518441The day/night system is one of the coolest things you'd ever experience, for about a month. Seeing owls at night, needing to be day time for espeon, a few NPC changes. Really neat, and then that's it. It's a gimmick. If you played the game at night a lot it made the game look like shit. Also, they were going to have an eevee evolution for each time based healing move. Morning sun for morning, moonlight for night and a grass type with synthesis for day. The grass one got canceled. There's so many instances of johto dropping the ball.
