I'll put it to you this way.
Scarlet/violet pokemon era cards are worthless for a reason.
That reason being?
Frick off scalper
No.
Every game after Gen 5 has been quite bad.
Stop lying. Gen 5 is just a fricking ghetto version of gen 1.
True and yet it's still not THAT bad. X/Y were when the series really started to go to shit. Irredeemably with Su/Mo, and wtf r u even doin with SwSh
Yeah it's been lazy copy pasted since gen 1 and the games have only ever gone down in quality. The only people that will argue otherwise on super autistics into competitive battling and actually looking at the stats in a pokemon game like a moron.
How do I plant berries in Gen 5?
The Dream World.
>b-but the Dream World is down!
Same as all the multiplayer functions are going to be for Gen 6/7 in a few months, which are pretty much the only reason to play those games.
gen 7 had multiplayer functions?
It... did. Worse than Gen 6, obviously.
You guys don't have computers?
You mean the Ganker/internet browser machine?
>Same as all the multiplayer functions are going to be for Gen 6/7 in a few months
Didn't the DW need something outside of just the online connection?
>which are pretty much the only reason to play those games
How do I plant berries in Gen 5? If I can’t that gives me a reason to play Gen 6 instead since the games are actually finished.
>>How do I plant berries in Gen 5?
Go back in time to when that feature was still active.
>If I can’t that gives me a reason to play Gen 6 instead since the games are actually finished.
Nice bait
Where's the Battle Frontier in Gen 5?
You get the PWT and Black Tower/White Treehollow instead as the non-Battle Tower challenge facilities, including rentals. It's not as good, but it does mimick a lot of the functionality of the Frontier.
What do X/Y and OR/AS have again?
Also, why are you so obsessed with Gen V?
More like gen 3
>gen 3
>let's start the gen with games you won't be able to complete the pokedex of until several years and another console later
Sure.
You mean gen 2, you zoomer piece of shit.
No
Play Heart Gold/Soul Silver instead and drop the series again after you're done
No.
Every game after gen 3 has been quite bad.
Hello, discordie.
>
No.
Every game is bad. If you like Blue because of nostalgia so be it, but don't bother playing anything else. It's all shit.
Yes
So, I've actually never played a pokemon game in my life. If I were to play just one, which should it be?
Black 2
Fire red or emerald in a gba emulator.
is this a romhack? which one?
I think its an English translation of the Japanese only GBC pokemon TGC game.
TCG NEO
Frick man I wish they would officially translate and release this game already
Isn't that english?
Gen 1
Stadium 1
Pinball
Pokemon tcg
Gen 1 remakes
HG/SS (gen 2 remakes)
That's basically it
Stadium 2 homie
Play pokemon infinite fusion, but wait a few weeks since the upcoming update will add something like 30 mons to the already huge roster
Is the game actually good or is it just "haha look at this coom fusion"?
Like, doesn't it follow a set path like other pokemon games? you know, routes, gyms, elite 4, post game.
Wild encounters are fusions.
Enemies are fusions.
Gyms are fusions.
It is heavy RNG to what you are get and get pitted against. There is a setting to tone it down in some way but it is still a lot of random.
Worst part though is rpgmaker.
>doesn't it follow a set path like other pokemon games? you know, routes, gyms, elite 4, post game.
Yes. But being able to fuse your mons, getting new type/stats/moves combo, inverting the fusions and getting something totally different is really fun. You can make totally broken mons (basically every slaking fusion with a decent ability) and destroy everything in your path if you want. There are also many randomizer options to make every run different
>or is it just "haha look at this coom fusion"?
Lol, the game dev and his troony discord mods censor everything they can, they even asked a spriter to change one of his sprites (a great looking one too) because it showed a 1-sprite-navel and that was considered too hot. If you want coom stuff you'll have to get it from the infinite fusion threads on /vp/. Still, the base game has tons of amazing designs, look up the torterra fusions if you want to see some samples.
> 1-sprite-navel
Meant to say 1-pixel, I'm tired
Pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of time
No other pokemon game matters
Gen 1. Or gen 1 remakes. The rest are soulless garbage
Pokemon Snap
Pokemon go to the polls
gen 1 and 2 remakes.
>Remakes
No. Originals are better.
Play The Holy Trinity.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Yup, this is it. These are the best Pokemon games
its the same shit really, build a team of whichever pokemon you think look cool then beat the elite 4 and never play it again
I liked it. The performance is shit though.
You stopped playing for a reason, and whatever that may be, you can bet your ass it hasn't been fixed.
If you didn't consider the series worth your time in the interim, what do you think would have changed now?
No. They actually used the original red/blue on the gameboy in 2023 for their slice of life pokemon themed jdrama instead of using the newest pokemon title. Which goes to show how bad the new stuff actually is.
trying to find a place to download this. anyone?

wait, that's not pokemon, pokemon red/blue came in red/blue cartridges
Not in Japan. They have grey ones.
no, pokemon hasn't been good since x/y when they decided 3d was the future
Last worthwhole pokemon game was Black and White 2. ORAS for PSS and QoL but that's stretching it
I wish you guys hadn't latched onto my favorite Pokemon because you want to frick it. 🙁
No, Pokemon became utter shit after gen 6, If you want to play pokemon play PokeMMO, it has all the regions from gen 1 to gen 5 on a single save data.
Get Pokemon Arceus not Scarlet, it's MUCH better. They're not even close. Arceus is actually a good game. The atmosphere is really comfy, the gameplay is fun, it's not padded out to shit like a normal Pokemon game. There's even some solid side quests.
Fellas, I played a romhack called Light Platinum on a DS emulator and it was awesome. Writing and story is jank but in the first hour I was fighting trainers with full teams. I had to make a solid team of 6 just to get through areas. Most fun I've had with pokemon
thx
loved the first one and the sequel one was great too even if having to constantly change decks got tedious later on
OP you honestly have not been missing out on anything. I stopped at the third gen and the remakes. The series I'm telling you has largely been the same shit only it continues to get inferior story wise but slightly improved gameplay wise with each iteration. It became hella fricking stupid where these pokemon became gods and the gangs look increasingly moronic and have increasingly dumber goals. They aren't a bunch of criminals anymore working like an organized gang the way Team Rocket was. These new gangs function like typical JRPG evil factions now its really lame.
You should have played the second gen games since they are fantastic follow ups to the original. They essentially are sequels to Blue. After that though the way the games work is basically like reboots every gen where you do not even need to play the last game to get into it. They sell them to kids after all.
I could elaborate further but I feel I covered the basics well enough. You aren't missing much. Its largely the same shit you remembered with the same exact formula but slight changes each time and with typical JRPG trash.
I must become the ultimate bird keeper so that I may pet every bird-type pokemon
Will we ever get a Pokemon game with monster fusions Ganker? It is Pokemon so I would guess that shit would print money.
MAKE
VENUSTOISE
CANON
If you can emulate them with good specs to get past the terrible fps caused by the spaghetti code, go for it, conceptually they're very good games, but GameFreak can't program for shit, the fact that a game like that can't run well on the Switch but Xenoblade, Zelda and Bayonetta do is bullshit.
If you're actually playing on Switch, get Legends Arceus instead.
>Gen 1
Red, Blue and Yellow are obsolete, there's nothing in them that can't be found in FireRed, LeafGreen; Let's Go is a relatively faithful remake of Yellow but it loses points for the Pokemon Go gimmicks.
>Gen 2
There's no reason to play Gold, Silver or Crystal, all of that content is in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
>Gen 3
This one is tricky, Emerald has the most content, but OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire have advantages like a larger Pokedex, a more complete story and Mega Evolutions, just one piece of advice: Disable the EXP share as soon as you get it (It's on by default).
>Gen 4
Similar to Gen 3, Platinum is in general the best package but BrilliantDiamond and ShiningPearl are HD and the underground is significantly better.
>Gen 5
Gen 5 has a more involved storyline than usual, so playing both games is necessary to get the full picture, Black2 and White2 are in general the better games with lots of QoL and an expanded pokedex, Black and White suffer from being too linear.
>Gen 6
X and Y are a mixed bag, the games in general feel unfinished but there is no third version or remake, but they are the last games in the franchise with proper dungeons and to this day have the largest pokedex of any region.
>Gen 7
Some people love Sun and Moon, some people despise it, in general the story is well-liked but the Pokemon selection is abyssmal and the handholding is relentless.
>Gen 8
Sword and Shield started dexit so if you care about the national dex this is the cutoff point, the story is kinda meh but the games are very accessible, the pokedex is decently big and there's a lot of interesting features like raid battles, the DLC is a must so the game feels truly complete.
>Gen 9
Scarlet and Violet are... complicated, conceptually they're probably the best the franchise has been since gen 5, but the amount of technical issues can be a deal breaker, only play these if you have a PC that can emulate the games with fixes.
>there's nothing in them that can't be found in FireRed, LeafGreen
Except the original games?
Remake/remasterBlack folk are the dumbest motherfrickers on this board, and I say that in general, not just in the context of Pokemon.
>NuPokemon that high
>B&W that high
>Gen 1 and 2 obsolete
You put this Blackphiliac mutted dogshit in A tier? Holy kek muttnova will never be good homosexual
I've been playing pokemon since 2000 but Plat is the only one I've never played.
Is it actually good or is it just a reaction to how dogshit awful Diamond/Pearl were? I'm just not convinced.
>omega ruby and alpha sapphire that low
homie get the frick outta here
You should play let's go Pikachu, soul silver, legends Arceus and that's it
*ahem*
A REMINDER
>she's still putting muttnova in A tier
Just look at this. This is what you admit to liking
Vanilluxe represents corn syrup
Golurk represents the loyalty to israeli overlords
Vullaby s diaper represents the shartmarts
Garbador represents the squalidness of america
What is this muttslop? We went from japanese folklore creatures to Black folk and garbage bags?
The more i look at the shitnova pokedex the more disgusted i feel. This is a japanese monster catching game or an amerimutts fantasy?
oh and scrafty's literally just a Black person pokemon. thats it. just a Black person. wtf
Yeah Scrafty is well suited for the America region.
The other mons in that image are fine, imagine disliking Golurk.
Look at these posts. Look at the muttborts defending their overdesigned obese israelite golem pokemon
Do you know? Because are obese israelite golems themselves. This is who defends muttnova. Obese israelite golems.
Oh, okay, it's this one moron that spams /vp/. Are you some zoomer from the sharty? Probably pretend to be voregay as well.
Shut your fat obese israelite nipper lips. There's no coming back after defending Golurk. It's over.
>muttborts
I'm Scottish. The designs are fine.
>she
Not a she, moron.
Yes, Unova has a pretty mixed dex. I consider it the initial start of the decline for that reason. I just think it's good otherwise.
Also Garbador is literally just an overdesigned Muk. moronic to act like every single design up to Gen V was perfect when that wasn't the case.
Also what sort of person dislikes Golurk? How does Golurk represent MUH JOOZ but the Pokémon literally called GOLEM doesn't? Based moron.
yes, it's the best game on switch right now
you might as well play blue again, the games haven't changed since the beginning
I'm a genwunner that played up to 6.
I would have stopped at 5 because it was awful to me, but the jump to 3D, megas and finally getting a T. rex Pokemon made me get Y.
That said, I should've stopped at 2. Really sucks seeing the things I grew up with all waste their potential, haha
I see people complain about Pokemon all the time but I've yet to see anyone mention some alternatives as well.
Decent creature collecting games feel non-existent sometimes.
I started with r/b when it first came out, and s/v are my favorite pokemon games.
I'm sorry for your awful taste
don't play anything beyond the original DS. thank me later
The series peaked at gen 2. Even as a wee lad I could tell Ruby was soulless.
No
scarlet and violet are not even pokemon games, its more like some sort of shovelware or a child's first experiment in unity
No, S/V are dogshit.
Your money Anon spend it how you like
i seriously question what made you even think of doing something like that
Emulate literally any of the other mainline games from the Gameboy, GBA or the DS. Scarlet and Violet are an acquired taste to some and God awful to others.
Play anything on the DS.
And don't play any game released after DS.
