these games are a 6/10, formulaic, and slow as frick. pokemon will always be a nostalgia franchise and no amount of sheeping around gen 4 will change the fact that it sucks
phys/spec split caused the massive power creep that killed the series for anyone other than collectors. gen 3 should have been peak but they dropped the gotta catchem all line so real peak was actually gen 2. sorry op.
>thinking it wasnt a game destorying decision not to include it.
adhd that prevents you from playing into the end game like the devs assumed when asked why they didnt include it? there wasnt even a reason to play multiplayer on 3ds, it was infinitely better just to play on showdown instead.
>zinnia >literally everything post game
I never really liked Hoenn but the entire game is a fricking slog in ORAS and the dumb post game shit just adds to it
How is it a fricking slog when it's very similar to emerald? If anything it's faster with the xp share than emerald.
I actually really liked the post game and couldn't give a shit about the bf.
Pokenav was a very nice addition to the game, allowing easy chaining for shinys, egg moves, and IVs, but the cut BF along with other changes like gutting the granite cave held it back. It also doesn't help that the new delta episode they did add was pretty terrible both to play through and watch as the story was fricking moronic even by GF's standards.

>just gen 6 with sprites
no, frick this gay shit. give me a real gen 3 rom hack. the only good one ive played is fire red omega and i thought that had a lot of things that could have been better.
try fire red rocket edition
move and type updates to gen 7 but no mons later than gen 2, a decent levelling curve, steal pokemon from trainers you defeat as the main way to get rare mons and the meme writing bits genuinely made me chuckle instead of cringe while also being infrequent enough to not get on the nerves
this is literally only difficult because you're locked out of all the good shit and qol training features til like halfway through the story at which point the game becomes a cakewalk. Even before then a lot of shit crumbles to sweepers with coverage or sticky web. It has a robust features list and decent AI but the design and as an overall game it's pretty meh. I have no idea why people rate it so highly
Johto is the most dull region in the whole series and that says a lot. The pokemon are pretty shit too outside of a handful. Riding on Kanto's coattails doesn't make it the best
Would you guys play a game where you transformed into the creature you captured/copied?
It'd be better if it were the player doing the work, instead of an "employee".
i think he means a game where youre a shapeshifter. conceptually sounds like it could be neat. but in pokemon that would mean its just a game where you play as ditto the whole time.
>i think he means a game where youre a shapeshifter
Technically still true in mystery dungeon
I dont get it either way, you still control your pokemon in the regular games
no. its not true in md. youre transformed but youre not a shapeshifter. you cannot freely change your shape, you were forcibly changed into a pokemon and youre stuck that way. and you dont control your mons in regular games either. youre the trainer issuing commands.
It didn't go far enough to fix some of the issues of the original GSC, like the wonky level curve that disincentivized anyone from using pokemon found later in the game, because they'd need to stop what they're doing and spend an eternity grinding them on wild pokemon just to bring them up to the party's level. At the very least, HGSS should've included the Vs. Seeker to make grinding up new pokemon less of a hassle. But as it stands, the game incentivizes you to stick with six mons you find very early on, and then never swap any new pokemon onto to the team later.
That said, still a solid game. Kinda want to replay it but I also want to wait for Drayano's hacks, but he's taking a fricking eternity putting those out.
gen 1 designs were simplified for the sake of pixel art limitations
gen 2 designs were simplified for the sake of lowering merchandising overheads on toys, Typhlosion, Meganium and Feraligatr are all blobby crap for this reason
gen 3 was where design soul peaked, Ludicolo and Groudon would've been pushed back in previous gens for being too complex
gen 4 was where gameplay peaked, level curve actually good, Champion actually filtered literal children, designs still retained some soul even if it was beginning to fade
Arguing which vanilla turd is the better vanilla turd is alls you do because you is boring like that and dont want to experiment with mods and cheats and make your own fun, you need to be told whats allowed and isnt loud in your vidya games. Rather than rule over your possessions you allow them to rule over you. This is why you're stuck playing boring vanilla games and why your opinion is incapable of any unique pov.

Yeah? It's pokemon.

Adrenaline rattled zoomer hands typed this while drinking BANG and vaping to troony rap
troony rap?
*Ahem*
Level curve.
>he needs to grind to beat his opponents
peaked at Crystal
only an autist cares about that, the aesthetics of the region/character designs/mon designs and the music are what's most important

Why don't people like oras? They're definitely among my favourites, found them better than emerald.
but muh battle frontier...

here's your free legendary to fight a winona that doesn't even have earthquake anymore bro
>It's easy
Isn't an argument for pokemon games. Literally every single one is piss easy and can be beaten with only your starter overleveled.
>overleveled
you dont say, just for argument sake however. assume the player is the appropriate level.
You do realise that if you only use your starter that you'll be overleveled each time in every game?
There's easy and there's being handheld.
pokemon peaked with me feverishly ejaculating to misty in 1998
>the price
What the frick? I remember getting SoulSilver for £30 back in 2010.
Cex has gone crazy with the old pokemon games. I think this one had it worse because of the pokewalker..
>All Pokemon playable, including hisuian

Top tier game that wasn't even made by Game Freak.

only good fangame you'll ever need
Can I get married in any pokemon fan game to a villianess?
any hackroms that lets one catch the first 251 pokemon?
Johto is the most dull region in the whole series and that says a lot. The pokemon are pretty shit too outside of a handful. Riding on Kanto's coattails doesn't make it the best

Pokemon mystery dungeon series already exists

This is correct.
No idea what's happening in this thread.

gen 5 was the last great gen
bdsp was the last good remake
im excited for the future
gen 5 was the point where art dropped off hard
first gen where the box art legendaries were all lame
i really liked the legendaries, what did you not like about them anon?
gen 1 designs were simplified for the sake of pixel art limitations
gen 2 designs were simplified for the sake of lowering merchandising overheads on toys, Typhlosion, Meganium and Feraligatr are all blobby crap for this reason
gen 3 was where design soul peaked, Ludicolo and Groudon would've been pushed back in previous gens for being too complex
gen 4 was where gameplay peaked, level curve actually good, Champion actually filtered literal children, designs still retained some soul even if it was beginning to fade
I have the lugia boxset with the figure and all that shit. Still got the box and even the plastic the pokewalker came in. Is this worth anything?
It's not even the best 4 gen game.
