>completely justifies and logically explains GSC’s design philosophy
>everyone ignores its and instead shits on Gen 2
Why are people like this? Gen 2’s not even my favourite gen but after watching her video it makes so much sense why it’s designed the way it is.
>poketuber shit
>genwar homosexualry
Nobody cares
>poketuber shit
>genwar homosexualry
This, but also
>her
I could go with "they" if you prefer that.
prove that she’s not a real woman, you mentally ill fuckface
The avatar doesn't really look like a real woman
Ironically she looks more womanly than her avatar which is the inverse of how it is for troons.
But she also made a video to shit on DP so she's part of the problem as well.
>so she's part of the problem as well
The problem of bullies hurting your feelings
The problem of redditors and trannies shitting on old games to make the garbage that's coming out now seem good
>old games
DPPt are still nu-Pokemon. They will never be classics.
And gen 2?
Gen 1 and gen 2 are part of the same wave, they're the original Pokemon games.
Then why are you defending the same movement that's attacking gen 2?
>the amerimutt identity politics mentality at work
I'm french
But thanks for outing yourself, troon
Your brain has been colonized and polluted.
The fact that I don't agree with you doesn't mean that I'm part of the group that you perceive as your opponents.
If someone calls gen 4 nugen trash I'll agree with them. If they claim that 2 and 4 are comparable I'll simply scoff at them.
To be fair gens 3 through 5 are just superior to gens 1 and 2 lol. I just think it's funny that you're defending the sinnoh bad meme when it originates from the same people that created the johto bad meme.
>t. Blackid mutt
She likes Gen 2 anon, stop being so ESL.
She jumped on the bandwaggon about gen 4 without realizing it was the same shit as the gen 2 one
>She jumped on the bandwaggon about gen 4
>2017
The hell are you talking about?
2017 is actually around when it started
Being a gen 4 fanboy always comes with a massive persecution complex for some reason
You could say the same about gen 2
Or really any game reddit doesn't like
Lol gen 2 is probably the least insecure generation, targeting it is like the school shooter mumbling about chad
That's how everyone feels about the things they defend
Gen 2 doesn't need to be defended, neither does gen 1. They are the only gens where that's true. Too much soul, they blind anyone that tries to strike them.
>the least insecure generation
Most*
Why do you think the gen 2 hatred conspiracy exists?
Unova is what gets 4-5+ hate threads a day, not gen 2.
Okay?
And?
You know what insecure means, right?
Bro, Unova gets shitposting but that shitposting exists BECAUSE BW2 are called the best games.
Johto sucks and people are starting to realise it and the fanboys are so hurt by this that they made a legitimate conspiracy theory about TPC paying people to shit on it.
How is that not insecure?
>Lol gen 2 is probably the least insecure generation
>you just hate us because hecking influencers
lol
Never said a thing about them, are you outing yourself? The school shooter Freudian slips as he mumbles and plots
Oh the irony
>Gen 1 and gen 2 are part of the same wave
False, Masuda directed gen 2, it's in the same wave as gen 3-6
um, retard?
They lied and clarified it in an interview
This guy is fuckin retarded.
Howdy homosexual!
Lol even DP shits on any Johto game by all metrics
Obsessed
having a reason for doing something doesn't mean it's not a bad idea
>You had to be there, it was a different time!
She explains the context of Gen 2 pretty well but that doesn’t mean people have to like it.
Games like BW or the 3DS gens were designed to be streamlined to the children of the times, but oldfags still bawl about them anyway.
I’m just saying after watching her vid it becomes pretty clear that Gen 2 is intended to be a simulation kind of game, not too dissimilar to Animal Crossing, with daily events, apricorns, day and night cycle, poke gear ect. You’re supposed to only play a bit at a time, explore old areas and battle old trainers.
That sounds great in theory
But unlike Animal Crossing, it doesn't really work
>it becomes pretty clear that Gen 2 is intended to be a simulation kind of game,
If you believe that then you've never played an RPG in your life let alone another monster tamer.
That's definitely what they were aiming for anon, like the original SMTs.
>That's definitely what they were aiming for anon
No, and neither were early megaten games for that matter because monsters were just party members, having you actually raise them in a simulator style game wasn't a thing for the monster tamer genre until games like Monster Rancher where you actually had to raise it like a pet.
I feel like most Gens after 2 benefit from this “taking your time” approach, apart from maybe BW or SM which are more character focused.
Gen 2 and 4 are the only Gens that are truly designed around it though.
You’re not any more likely to miss out on content by beating say, any of the gen 3 games, in a week as opposed to several months, and that’s largely due to the lack of time based features. Gens 2 and 4 though, are brimming with time based features that encourage players to play incrementally each day, so trying to plow through the games in a short amount of time inevitably leads to problems like exp shortages that are caused by skipping content.
I honestly can't think of any time based mechanics in Sinnoh you won't just encounter playing the game in a binge.
Like, yeah, morning and night spawns, but the game is so slow you're going to run into those anyway.
Gen V seasons are more impactful than gen 2 systems
You’re wrong, gen 2 and 4 time-based mechanics are significantly better simply because they operate on a much more reasonable timescale. Most things happen daily, with the absolute rarest events happening at least once a week, and that works because the games are clearly designed around keeping players consistently engaged in other things while they wait. Compare this to seasons, which take a literal fucking month to change in a game that’s linear and story based, with minimal side content to engage in during down time, so by the time the season actually changes you will have almost certainly moved on. Seasons don’t even have anything substantial locked behind them for literally this reason too, it just doesn’t mesh with the rest games design at all.
I still like seasons for the aesthetic changes but as a time based feature it’s trash
wish we could have a game with seasons like Unova’s and time-based events like Johto’s, but these games are going to be permanently phoned in now so we’ll never see it.
Nah, it barely did anything.
Seasons have minimal impact on gameplay and are mostly for aesthetics, as they should be. Time-based events are fucking garbage; I'm not moving around my schedule or booting up the game for a specific event I have to do now, I'm changing the clock or skipping them altogether. Leave that shit to MMOs and gachas.
>Seasons have minimal impact
Yeah not like nights increasing murkrow encounters by 0.2% and just slapping a night filter on top. Or youngster joey calling your ass for another braindead rematch or giving you stones. Real impactful
There are numerous pokemon right from the start of gen 2 that are exclusive to one of the three times of day, and there's also several things that rely on a daily/weekly schedule for their availability throughout the course of the game. Not to mention other world building elements like the radio and cell phone making the world feel alive in a way that was utterly revolutionary for the GBC. Just admit you never played them.
Murkrow can *only* appear at night and evolution stones are mostly gated by phone calls. Not to mention Lapras only appearing on Fridays. I'll just skip using those Pokemon altogether.
Even with that in mind it's not balanced/designed well. The issue with Johto is that it changes Kanto's many dungeons into various kinds of side content, but DECREASES difficulty and doesn't account as well for player choices in midgame. Players have little incentive to engage with the mechanics and are encouraged by the low difficulty and shit mon variety/learnsets to bulldoze through the game.
Polished Crystal shows that just adding a bit more variety to enemy teams, giving Pokemon more versatile learnsets, and giving enemy monsters decent stats slows the game down and makes the systems shine. Morty will wall you if you don't engage in rematches and go exploring. Falkner and Bugsy don't roll over and die like wimps, forcing you to actually use your full team.
A fantastic game is in there, but actual GSC is way too passive with the player.
>Tranny romhack.
>Good
Lmao
>No argument.
Concession accepted.
Ragni's a dumb cunt and the hack overdoes it sometimes, but Johto is much better when the other leaders are on Whitney's level of challenge at minimum.
The problem is that this is a Pokemon game which are designed to be beaten in under 24hours at the very most. You can beat these games in one-two sittings. Even as someone who likes GSC, I never bother with the time events when playing these games.
I feel the new approach of gen 9 where time changes in-game every 30 minutes or so is more conductive to Pokémon's gameplay than a real time clock.
>which are designed to be beaten in under 24hours at the very most
My ass. Most kids are gonna take way longer.
Normal people don't play as much as you.
Pokemon games take a couple of weeks to finish on average.
Not even kids take that long. I beat my first game Firered in 5 days.
I fully agree with her video and in fact I already had a feel for the fact that the johto games were designed that way, that was actually how I played HG in high school.
But honestly speaking, it shouldn’t surprise you that many people hate the games anyway. People, especially these days, just cannot comprehend the appeal of a classic, long form RPG.
The only praiseworthy thing about johto is dark cave and how the dex is scattered around the map. Kanto is half baked, the bosses suck, the route level design sucks, the events suck, the rocket plot is unfunny, the merchmons designs suck
> the route level design sucks
Is this a joke? The route design is one of the biggest improvements from gen 1
it is not even remotely a controversial opinion to say that gen 2 is good, stop getting your opinions from youtubers
>female
opinion disregarded
GSC would've been my favorite games probably, if it wasn't for the fact that Kanto was completely butchered. If they couldn't fit the entirety of Kanto and Johto on one cartridge, they should've just focused on expanding Johto and forget about Kanto completely imo. Does her video talk about this?
god zoomers are insufferable. literally not a single person complained about going to kanto in GSC twenty years ago.
Not a single adult had played them 20 years ago so no shit.
>literally not a single person complained about going to kanto in GSC twenty years ago
That's because you zoomers are retarded and just ate up whatever shit was on your plate.
>Oldest zoomer was 5 years old 20 years ago...
Anon, gen Z starts at 96.
The oldest zoomer 20 years ago would be 7.
>zoomers are insufferable
I have been a Pokemon fan since Gen 1 and Silver was my first game. Nice try tho.
and you were seething about kanto? yeah fucking right
Once I played Gen 1 Kanto, I was like, wait why are all those locations smaller now in GSC? It has always annoyed me.
bunch of fucking crap and you know it.
Whatever, anon
Parts of it, like Viridian Forest and Pokémon Tower, were butchered because there's meant to be a contrast between traditionalist Johto and rapidly urbanized Kanto. You're meant to go back and realize the horrors of man edging out nature and not respecting the cycle of life. Your negative reaction was the point. Other parts, like the safari zone, were not finished, so you're right on those. As much as I prefer a lush Viridian Forest in HGSS in isolation, I don't think it should actually be there when I look at it all as a whole.
Any decent GSC enhancement hacks? I want to play with the same regional dex but with better leaning pools and harder trainers
Sour Crystal updates learnsets and stats, but doesn't up difficulty.
Polished Crystal updates learnsets and stats AND bumps up difficulty, but it includes Gen 4+ evolutions and regional variants.
Pick your poison.
I choose Crystal Legacy :^)
Also doesn't up the difficulty in Johto, just swaps gym monsters.
Lance using Zapdos and Red using Mewtwo don’t count as difficulty increases?
>Cites final challenge of Johto and the superboss of the whole game.
Thanks for reaffirming my point. Johto is mostly just swaps. Again, your choices are faithful-but-not-harder or harder-but-dumb-Pokemon-choices. Legacy just gives Kanto gyms retarded Pokemon, which is arguably even stupider than Polished throwing in future stuff.
alright what if I choose Crystal Clear AKA
SHOCKSLAYER PRESENTS
(^:
That's not even the same game. Good on you if you like it.
>Just throws legendaries at strong trainers.
I think one of the best comparisons between Polished and Legacy's ideas of making fights more engaging is how they handle Misty.
Polished gives her a Lanturn with an excellent moveset and a Kingler with beefy stats as a surprise sweeper.
Legacy gives her a Vaporeon and a fucking Kingdra.
>NOOOOO RED CAN'T USE A LEGENDARY EVEN THOUGH HES RED AND CANONICALLY CATCHES MEWTWO WHERE IS THE RANDUMB ESPEON
Red gets the shitty Espeon back when you rebattle him to appease the Game Freak apologists.
>Wrong quote AND capslock
lol
Enjoy your shit tier hack I guess.
literally who?
>her
Why am I not surprised to yet again see no legitimate argumetns against gen 2? It's flawless despite /vp/'s nonstop efforts, this series clearly peaked long ago and it's never coming back.
>Tranny e celeb
Johto is shit and poorly designed, has a terrible dex, needs to rely on kanto pandering and one of the easiest games in the series. Take off the nostalgia goggles
These are anachronistic criticisms made by a zoomer who gets their opinions from YouTube and Tiktok.
Another non argument from the johtofag
don't have to make an argument when HGSS just sits there, swole as fuck like an ancient greek statue in the sun. it speaks for itself, a true masterwork
>Le meme remake that doesn't improve anything and adds shitty fanfiction-tier plot
Yawn
? brings it into PS split which makes pokemon wayyyy more runnable than they were in GSC, adds lots of content including the best version of a safari zone ever, and the plot is less fanfiction-tier than crystals.
Why am I not surprised to yet again see no legitimate argumetns against gen 7? It's flawless despite /vp/'s nonstop efforts, this series clearly peaked years ago and it's never going back.
Because I turned it off after I was still watching cutscenes over an hour into it and haven't bothered with it since. I have nothing to say because it's the only pokemon game that failed at the baseline to get me to play it. Same reason I don't have much to say about Bolivian politics or antelope migration patterns. It's just so completely irrelevant and uninteresting.
Crazy still no legitimate arguments.
failing to even get me to play it is possibly the biggest deathblow a pokemon game could have
He kicks and screams, but STILL cant come up with any arguments.
Johtofags suck so much. They blindly accept their shitty game is good and act smug and don't give any rational or reasonable arguments as to why despite their region having zero identity beyond "Kanto's backyard"
"Regional identity" is only a thing that was invented later to justify Gamefreak cutting features each game
revisiting previous regions should have been a feature in every pokemon game, and you will kick and scream and seethe and bootlick to pretend otherwise
Games should push the catridge limits with its own region instead of rehashing old shit with worse quality
There it is, the seethe and cope and GF bootlicking
I demand more, you demand less.
>Games should push the catridge limits
Almost every game sucks by your logic jsyk.
Johtohaters suck so much. They blindly accept insult against Johto as fact no matter how blatantly untrue it is and act smug and shot down any rational or reasonable arguments Johtofags make and instead just parrot buzzwords like "Kanto's backyard"
All I gathered from this is
>Johto
>game is good
>act smug
Sure thing boss
>game is good
Good joke
ur mom
johto sucks and is propped up by nostalgia.
>Day and night cycle is important
I agree which is why Paldea is the best.
Umm is she a professional nuzlocker?! I don't think so
>professional nuzlocker
That guy's ego is bigger than universe itself.
Probably going to get a vacation for this since mods don't like it for whatever reason, but it's always worth mentioning that this entire obsession johto fans have with critics being "dumb zoomers" and blaming e-celebs only actually started a few years ago thanks to a discorder.
It's projection at the highest level, getting so angry about other people supposedly being told what to think that they let a random raider do it to them.
>unovamutt projecting her schizophrenic discord shit onto other genfags
lol. there is no discord
johto aesthetic is based and the only game that is on the same level is sinnoh, johtos only real issue is technical/time limitations with how half assed kantos maps are in the original games and no e4 rematch with higher levels forcing kanto gym leaders to be weaker than the first e4 run for lore reasons.
While the original GSC had some flaws due to technical limitations, the HGSS remakes fix almost everything the originals did wrong
HGSS fixes problems with GSC but introduces new problems of its own
name three
three what, problems it fixes or problems it introduces
problems it introduces
forcing the box legendaries/chosen one shit in a game that didn't have it in the first place
suicune plot extended until kanto I guess this one is debatable if its an improvement or a problem
gen 4 engine so its got the slow ass hp bars carried over
Kris being replaced with Lyra another debatable change but I personally like Kris more
theres not a ton of issues it introduces but it does introduce some
-berries are limited until after whitney
-new rematch system is shit
-can't purchase elemental punches
and i could keep going
-forced kimono girls
-slow gen 4 engine
-lack of badge boosts
-some gen 4 evolutions are impossible to obtain
-changed the music in slowpoke well (this is a nitpick but i cannot stand the generic johto dungeon music. they play that shit everywhere.)
-the way the safari zone is structured strongarms the player into fighting Chuck and Jasmine first
im not the guy you're responding to but the kimono girls were always forced, you needed them to get surf however they did not force you to catch the box legendary which is what you meant
johto rocks and is only hated due to lack of shilling
She is a feminist whore and I don't like that she is anti-DPPt but I think she is right here.
It's just redditors and pokemonchallenges fans shitting on gens 2 and 4 and jerking off B2W2 because they saw their favorite influencer do it
Contrarian zoomers gonna contrarianly zoom.
Zoomers love HGSS you retard
who is she
An ugly tranny youtuber
The best way to play Johto.
>presents itself as a vanilla with fixes to level curve and johto mon distribution
>actually we're gonna change a ton of shit and give gym leaders smogonshit teams
god I hate romhack homosexuals, just fix the fucking bugs like the apricorn balls not working, fix kanto maps, maybe bump the levels so you aren't running into level 5s in kanto and leave everything else alone fuck sake
You can do it by yourself, it's pretty easy stuff to learn
>presents itself as a vanilla with fixes to level curve and johto mon distribution
Crystal Legacy does that.
>actually we're gonna change a ton of shit and give gym leaders smogonshit teams
Minor changes to stats and some moves isn't "a ton of shit" and the only gyms with smogon-tier teams are some of the Kanto gyms
Who?
my new wife
Those images are wrong gold and silver weren’t gameboy color games. They were just able to be played with enhanced colors on the gameboy color
>johtofags when they complain about gen 4 but then realize they have to shit on HGSS too
>Sinnohfag when he realizes that different Pokemon games are made by different staff
Just like GSC and HGSS whoa...
>GSC
Please stop embarrassing yourself, I feel bad for you
Not an argument
johtofags will praise hgss for having the battle frontier but then turn around and shit on platinum
discord
you want a boogeyman so bad
discord shits on sinnoh and unova nigh-exclusively
