Gameplay > Graphics
>Pokemon>gameplaythanks for the laugh anon
pokemon appeal relies on the creature designs(graphics)
>>12604278Gameboy games have neither. Even atari games are more fun than gameboyslop.
>>12604707it has a few decent platformers and puzzle gamesits missing a few games compared to its predecessor3ds and 2ds fixed those problems (for the most part but thats back when nintendos bein stingy with releasing games)
>>12604278Too bad Pokemon has neither.
>12604707Bait used to be believable
>>12604707It has some run n gun and even at least one shmup
>>12604707Are you really trying to say Pitfall is better than Super Mario Land?
>>12604884NTA but as much as i love super mario land, unironically yes
>>12604707Atari was my first system but this just isn't true. Tbh most GB games can be enjoyed for what they are. And especially at the time it first launched when single-game LCD handhelds were the only thing out there, you could pick up literally any GB game and have 1000x more fun than with even the best LCD games.
>>12604278The real enlightened view is that gameplay and graphics/sound can't be fully separated. Game feel and clarity matter, and aesthetics make a game more or less fun. Street Fighter games wouldn't be half as fun to play if the the graphics were just hitbox rectangles with no music or sound.
>>12606150That said, obviously more realistic or advanced graphics aren't necessary to have a great game. Most of us wouldn't be on /vr/ if we disagreed on that.
>>12606150True, but having reasonable views on things leads to less discussion and debate. If we're going to live with billions of other humans we might as well interact in interesting ways, even if none of what we talk about really makes a difference or is even true at all. So sometimes it's better to just say stupid things so that other people will get the chance to say something smart and feel better about their life and their existence, and they'll do the same for us sometimes, too.
>>12606194Nah you're stupid, and everything you say is wrong.
>>12606210I'm gonna agree with you on this one but that's the spirit.
>>12604278the large majority of games need pleasing artistic abstraction. the graphics can be primitive or simple, but on some level they need an artist that knows the fundamentals of making something look appealing to the eye and the data capacity to express that. only exception I could see are games where the visuals are intended as just an information overlay like rogue likes.
>find my old GBC one day>blow the dust off>turn it on>cant see shiti completely forgot that you needed direct sunlight in order to see the display
>>12606404back in the day me and my brother would monopolize the house lamps for the extra light. We never tried to play outside because it was pointless
>>12604278Then why are you playing on a GB color?Just use a normal gameboy.
>>12604278Tiny screens are for savages with no real estate.
>>12606410I was a lamp player too. Original Game Boy though. I had this adapter that was like a screen magnifier with a light for playing in the dark but it just made everything look distorted and harder to see, and burned through batteries I could have used for the GB itself. Sometimes I would daydream about playing through one of the projectors at school.
>>12604312Pokemon has a more complex and competitive gameplay than your favorite game
>>12606404If you think that's bad try using an original GBA again. They somehow made the screen even worse.
>>12604312Fuck you!!!
>>12604278It's weird how I grew up playing a GameBoy in the 90s/early 2000s and completely forgot how dark/dim the screen was when I booted it up again 20+ years later.
>>12609013Fuck you, leather man
>>>/vp/
>gameplay>menus
>>12606628Maybe Gen 4 onwards but this is /vr/ so I will not speak further.
>>12606628>more complex Bro it's rock paper scissors
>>12606628Lol
>>12604278If you are going to use the gameplay > graphics thing with the gameboy color you could have at least used some action game like warioland 3 instead of an rpg where you are mostly selecting things in menus.
>>12604278Art direction > graphics
>>12609131Almost forgot how good it looked
>>12604707yeah so many atari games better than links awakening, wario land or donkey kong 94 such as
>>12609186All of them. Even ET is better than that garbage.
>>12606628>Cumpetitivvvvv~Nothing to do with single-player experience + Pokemon is dogshit competitive game, anyway.
