That was a long time ago.
Imagine. Game Freak had Sword and Shield in development for that long also and it still came out like a pile of dog shit.
Fricking wild.
What are you talking about? LGPE ad the original 151 + some regionals and Meltan's shit.
It was a crappy remake of the first 4 games. Blue, green, red, and yellow.
There was no Dex to cut.
That's like pissing yourself angry that Leaf green and Fire Red didn't have Silver and Gold Pokemon.
>That's like pissing yourself angry that Leaf green and Fire Red didn't have Silver and Gold Pokemon.
But they did. RSE were the only games to not have all Pokemon until SWSH, because after the backlash that RSE's dex culling caused, GF realized it was a bad thing to do. Once again, until SWSH when they stopped caring what their customers think.
Ruby and Sapphire still had all the pokemon up to that point coded into the game even if they weren't available, from LGPE, SHSW, onward the pokemon aren't even coded in anymore.
they ARE in the game though moron
You can't catch them in-game but they're coded in
You can transfer them in, you can trade for them, you can battle with/against them
That's not the case in Gen 8

No I don't think so. Otherwise we wouldn't have had to wait years to get them, moron
Ruby and Sapphire still had all the pokemon up to that point coded into the game even if they weren't available, from LGPE, SHSW, onward the pokemon aren't even coded in anymore.
Obvious exclusions were made from crossgen evolution lines when directly before this, all games had either come up with a solution (can be evolved directly after E4), embraced the changes (HGSS) and had included all Pokémon regardless of how well they fit into the region.
>That was LGPE
You mean Ruby and Saphire
They fixed this issue in many ways over the entire generation which makes it so that in post in sounds extremely obtuse but at the time actually kind of cool because different people could have entirely different Pokémon between the 5 mainline GBA games. Friendly reminder that even Gold/Silver required gen 1 games to fully get all Pokémon.
the last game with a full national pokedex was oras.
sm and usum allowed transfer of old mons, but with no actual dex entries
No one is talking about actual dex entries, these still exist in HOME or any Pokémon online database.
The reason I am replying to all of my replies as well as posting to begin with is that I am tired of people hating Sword and Shield for trends it didn't even start, when they are some of the best pairs of games that we have gotten in the past 2 decades. >no third version that makes the games obsolete, opted for DLC with all new content and Pokémon, in some cases >made training 10x easier >heavily supported during its main run, enough so that the meta game and BSS/VGC was fun again >Dynamax was a good mechanic without being too busted because D-Max and G-Max moves all had archtypes which could be known, unlike the absolute frickery of Z-moves >the regions were fun to explore and offered incentives for catching the same Pokémon over again for hardcore collectors (marks) >raids were fun co-op when there were challenging event raids and trainer cards were fun to collect
>>no third version that makes the games obsolete, opted for DLC with all new content and Pokémon, in some cases
It's better because it's.... more expensive
Nice one Pokedrones
the hate campaign against what are some pretty good games even at just a game stance outside of a Pokémon stance is more "drone"like than me trying to defend them
I know that's a bad stance to take for a multibillion dollar company but I give credit where credit is due and TPCi had far worse releases on the Switch that don't get enough criticism.
>It's better because it's.... more expensive
No it's also cheaper because you didn't need to buy an entirely different game to get new pokemon. moron. Home is free. moron.
You can just scratch off the last two things on your list. Using "Fun" as way to describe something normally means you can't describe what it really is as fun is completely subjective.
I never found the Dynamax challenges fun and the regions were barren safari zones you just used as a tall grass substitute on your straight line path to the next town.
Okay fine let me rephrase then >raid battles were interesting to build and plan for, like the Mewtwo raid. I had people in person to play these with, so we were able to grind these extremely hard and even kept tallies as to the different teams of four and how many Mewtwos they cleared. >Trainer Cards were a cool collectible because you could get multiple of the same trainer card and see progress, or you can go back and see trainer cards and teams of people you battled. Once again, I had a group of about 40 people to play the games with in-person so to collect all of these right before a multitype tournament was worthwhile and it is a great thing to look back on.
There you go, I really hope I wasn't having fun the wrong way.
They really weren't'. You just needed other people to beat them. Just go at them with the effective typing and have a team of people with the same idea and every challenge was toast.
Only time anyone would have considered it a challenge in any sense was if they didn't have enough people and the game gave you shitty npc trainers that were never up for the task.
No it was SM when they axed Megas and only brought back a handful of them as DLC. Moon was the last Pokémon game I ever bought. Might as well have set two 20 dollar bills on fire and asked someone to kick me in the balls, would have been a better experience.
And somehow, I held out hope for gen VIII… then they removed half the Pokémon from existence.
>Best game >Story that didn't matter and comes in at the last 1% of the game to make no sense. >Release that bricked switchs >Performance issues out the wazoo >Straight up lied about working on new models and animations to cover for lazyness >Big open nothingness domes to catch pokemon in as you walk a straight line from town to town. >Another shit gimmick to replace the perfectly fine Mega Evolutions. >Terrible online play >introduced a new pokemon storing system that you had to pay for and discontinued the free one that worked better than the new thing.
You only like SW/SH for the porn.
You say that but none of them are lies. There is video footage of a Switch bricking playing Sword from some japanese player. It even fricked with Some roku TVs since it made the Switch output a signal that caused them problems.
The animation thing. Completely true. Models for humans changed by Pokemon kept the same models just got a slightly altered texture. While getting nothing but different png splash effects for attack sliding the model arround in slightly different ways. Wouldn't call that lazy shit "Animation". Trainers even repeated animations from the 3ds games with Hou's Hand waving bullshit.
The open areas were giant nothingness filled with pokemon that all you had to do to travest was walk north in a straight line. The entire map was a straight line to finish. The open areas were entirely optional.
Nobody liked Gigantamax. It was a worse Mega Evolution they claimed was to combat having to make new models every time they wanted to make a new mega evolution. Yet they still gave new models to a few pokemon for their Gigantamax. The online was terrible there is not denying that and they did shove a subscription fee pokemon bank that replaced the better one.
And the story was about some fricking prophecy of 1000 years darkness that wasn't going to happen if the President didn't start it himself out of fear it was going to happen and nobody worrying about it. So nobody talked about it and did anything about it until the ass end when the prez jumps the gun and starts it himself. You unfrick the situation in a instant and resume playing a shitty pokemon game.
SW/SH was shit. But SV somehow managed to be considerably worse.
They had 4 years to make SW/SH since they got the fricking Switch Dev kit. But they instead decided to make a Shitty remake nobody cared about with dumbed down mechanics and Little Town Hero which showed Game Freak couldn't make games for shit and never could.
>There is video footage of a Switch bricking playing Sword from some japanese player. It even fricked with Some roku TVs since it made the Switch output a signal that caused them problems
It was literally made up by a group of autists trying to scare people from buying the games, don't worry bro I saved the propaganda images lmao
Yes. Said autists included some random guy from Japan that didn't speak a syllable of english.

I didn't say everyone bricked their shit. Just that it did happen with video evidence. 1 in 500k chance to brick your console is still a chance to brick it.
Ignoring that shit happened doesn't somehow make your shitty pokemon game less shit.

Woah dude
If this was real that would definitely be an extremely useful thing to bring up as a point of criticism! Imagine a whopping 40 people's Switch's could have been bricked with no good evidence?!?
All Switches like all electronic devices have a chance of randomly dying on you, it happened to like 3 people while playing this game (Like it has happened to any random number of people playing Mario, Zelda or Splatoon) and they blamed it on the game.
The next Pokemon game should be a soft reboot with a new batch of 150-200 Pokemon. Forget all the 10 million other pokemon. Just focus on making a polished game with a cool new region to explore. Bring the graphics up to at least 2010 standards. Maybe then we’ll have a decent game.
legends of arceus is pretty much that
a complete reboot of sinnoh >new map >new story >new characters >different starters >different forms >no transfers >new dodge n roll gameplay >slightly better graphics
it was fun
It is the most fun games for normies but for people who want to finish the game is a nightmare. Distortion zones are garbage,the spiritomb quest had wisps that didn't spawn and the catch 20 of every mon is vomit inducing. When you play the game casually it is fun when you get the foam off the top it shows just how atrocious it is
The game where you could use diferent clothes even sexy gym leader clothes. Now we're stuck in some ugly school uniforms because the sjw imbeciles are sticking their nose in the game.

FRLG DID have Gold and Silver Pokemon
FRLG had johto pokemon post-game, you could even get a johto starter.
Together with emerald, I think you could get all generation 1, 2 and 3 pokemon
>That's like pissing yourself angry that Leaf green and Fire Red didn't have Silver and Gold Pokemon.

They also did, they weren't obtainable but they were transferable. Which is true of every Gen until 8
Yeah I forgot about that.

Dexit was the best thing that happened in the franchise.
SWSH is still the best game btw, SV is TRASH and will never reach SWSH sales-wise.

SV are masterpieces when compared to SwSh. I hope the series doesn't go any lower than they did with gen 8
What's the coolest pokémon from gen VIII?
Corviknight
Corviknight, Runerigus, and Grapploct are my personal favs, but most on gen 8 is trash.
Sirfetch'd is alright I guess.
Corviknight and it's not even close. Frosmoth and Centiscorch are ok too I guess
gigantamax centiskorch is badass

I'm more for just not making any more new pokemon for pokemon games.
If they want to do something new. Make a regional variant or a mega evolution.

You already lost most normies
Most normies can't even name like 20 pokemon. Let alone any new fricker every game.

Woops wrong image again
People just memory holing how utterly israeli Gen 3 was always amuses me.
I never cared about dexit. I only use the new monsters so why should I care if past ones dont make it
Sword and Shield are better then Scarlet and Violet it’s not even close
You bought it anyway
