This is the best generation of Pokemon the franchise peaked on the Game Boy Advance even the Anime was better with May Hoenn is superior than Kanto and Johto

I started with gen 3 and hell no, I was so confused why the gbc game felt bigger and had night and day when I played Crystal.
If you don't give a fuck about fighting 40 battles in a row hoenn has nothing to do after the story.

FRLF are awesome and better than RBY though
>>
>>12777460
May and Hoenn are simply superior to Kanto and the overrated Misty its that simple

Platinum was the peak of pokemon and where the franchise should have ended.

not having a day/night cycle in gen 3 was beyond retarded.

>FRLF are awesome and better than RBY though
I enjoy FrLg for a variety of reasons, but I wouldn't say they're superior to RBY. The jankiness of Gen 1 unironically makes them more fun games to explore and fuck around with than the later titles, primarily the 'Brock Through Walls' glitch which can allow you to start off your game in Celadon with a lvl 25 Eevee for example, which makes for an interesting challenge.

fuck off spammer

>>12777449
The only way you can think this is if you haven't played the gen 4 games since those games are basically gen 3 with extra shit to make it even better. But last I checked, the gen 4 games are still full of mistakes when you emulate them, so if you don't have access to original hardware I can see why you'd think gen 3 is the best, especially when compared to the fanbase's current takes on gen 2.

This board is just /v/ now. It's arguably even worse than /v/ because that board still has slightly more traffic and there's a small chance someone interesting might stumble in. There is not a single decent thread on this board and there hasn't been in months. Why did I waste so much time on this shitty website instead of going somewhere where I can make connections with human beings that aren't absolutely rancid inside?
>>
>>12778043
Because you are one of us. Now let me tell you why your personal preference for one pokemon generation over another is somehow objectively incorrect.

Thoughts on recharged emerald?

>>12778132
I don't like any pokemon any more and I want to leave. I have been here for 20 years and leaving this place feels like I am fighting to actually exist.
>>
>>12777980
No I didn't like gen 3 with no water and running at 10 fps
>>
>>12778138
you must go and do something creative with your free time instead. the cycle of boredom-based scrolling and posting lost its novelty years ago for you, and you have noticed that most people on here are miserable as well. find something that isn't video games that gives you something back for your time spent

Pokemon peaked right now, with romhacks

there are literally Z E R O good official games. Z E R O. Red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, crystal, ruby, sapphire, emerald, diamond, pearl, platinum, Black, White? THEY ALL FUCKING SUCK.

Every official game has a generic bare bones copy pasted story, limited roster, shitty encounter table, terrible level curve, and absolutely no difficulty whatsoever.

All of this is fixed in fan games of course.
The only good Pokémon games ever made:
Dreamstone Mysteries, Eclat Pourpre, Inkwell, Odyssey, Pisces, Unbound, Hodgepodge, record keepers, spirits of the storm, The Pit

emwadting 1 single second of your life playing the baby vanilla games is such a fucking low IQ manchild move, the type of goyslop guzzling subhuman that venerates a soulless corporate product... It actually disgusts me to think of the person who boots up fire red in 2026.

Shit normalfaggot list

>>12778337
>muh may mays
no
>>
>>12778350
Mad because the game made fun of your tranny boyfriend? It has the best gameplay among all romhacks
>>
>>12777449
True.
>>12777452
Seethe.
>>
>>12778354
I'm an unapologetic nazi.
No, it doesn't have the best gameplay. It's old. The shit these modern hacks have added, is fucking ridiculous. Clover is just a difficulty hack of fire red/emerald with may mays, these modern hacks have overhauled the engine to such an extreme that it's crazy. You obviously haven't played them, you've probably only played r_ddit shit like radical red and snake wood.

>boohoo nazis
What a fucking soiboi, does your wife's boyfriend approve you're browsing the hecking nazi website 4chan right now?
>you didn't play them
I did and they were pretty boring compared to Clover.
>Clover is difficulty
Holy fucking filtered, no wonder you're crying about Radical Red being too hard too

Invariably, 100% of the time, nobody can possibly say they prefer gen 2 to gen 3 without bringing up 'muh day-night cycle' or 'muh bros'.

>>12777637
No, making it so you're locked into only ever seeing Hoothoot in the wild because you only have time to play at night is beyond retarded.
>>
>>12779074
Gen 4 is impossible to play in original hardware, shit runs so slow a fast forward button is mandatory, even gen 4 fans acknowledge this, every romhack is overclocked to run faster
>>
>>12777449
Before Emerald there was so little content in Gen 3 that it felt like half a game

>>12777637
I used to think that as well, but revisiting Gen 2 as an adult with a job made me realize how restrictive it is to only be able to do things at certain times of day
>>

Playing the Gen 4 games is exactly why I prefer Gen 3. I was spoiled with silky smooth 60fps gameplay and fast battles only for the next gen to struggle to maintain a framerate over 20fps with battles being painfully slow as a result. It's a massive fucking downgrade in performance and all because Game Freak didn't know how to properly optimize the very little 3D that's in Gen 4 to begin with.
>>
>>12777449
yup
>>
>>12777494
it was the finale of Pokemon but not the climax

>>12779461
toddies don't operate upon logic and reason

it's all nostalgia-driven

you're a fucking retard.

If Gen 4 came out at 60 fps like Emerald was, I would have loved it. It feels so fucking slow.
