EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A MASTER
EVERYBODY WANTS TO SHOW THEIR SKILLS
EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET THERE FASTER
>the old school steelix
I miss when Pokémon looked cool and not like lifeless plastic toys
>Remember when Gold and Silver came out?
I remember all right. The crushing disappointment. The endless rehashing. The embarrassing babymons. I was known as "the pokemon kid" at my school, so when Gold and Silver came out and everyone saw just what rushed and unfinished pieces of shit they were, I ended up enduring countless hours of relentless bullying. I still have the scars. After these games had killed Pokemania, I remember seeing on my local news channel that Satoshi Tajiri had been forced to step down from directing Pokemon games. And all I could think was... "Well deserved. Well deserved."
Don't forget about the level curve
reminder that this is the average anti-Johto poster
Sounds like you're just a homosexual and everyone caught on
thats because you're a homosexual also things never happend you wouldn't know who the game devs are at that age
IT'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD WE LIVE IN
DU DUDU DU DU DU
IT'S A BRAND NEW WAY TO SEE
DU DUDU DU DU DU
>that great sp.def and serviceable speed
>55 hp
Whatever this shot mon is it doesn’t do anything right
>johto is all shitmons and route 1 trash
home
Poor ledian.
Excellent games but they did'nt age well. Today the paradigm is different. It added innovations to the Pokémon formula unlike the 5th gen that didn't do shit.
you say that like they didn't stop innovating at gen 3
Read again because I never said that, you illiterate frick
>did'nt age well
This is what negative IQ looks like
>age well.
It was truly an era of discovery. I remember opening a magazine and seeing the Gen 2 starters for the first time and being excited as hell for the possibilities.
>that feeling when seeing the new pokemon cards for sale at the shitty mall stand, written in the mystical moon language of japan.
Back in those days seeing a Sentret or Chinchou was an incredible discovery, as if I were slowly unveiling the mysteries of the world. Now I've been checked out of the series for so long I didn't even bothered to look at the newest pokedex from scarlet/violet. For the first time I don't know every single pokemon and the future of the series is so bleak and lifeless I couldn't give less of a frick.
Yeah frick I know exactly what you mean. First sentret I caught was fricking magical
Gsc are truly the best games in the franchise. It's a shame gen 6 children try to discredit the game by crying about them relentlessly but they are still the cream of the crop
and all the mons were shit and there was still no endgame until stadium 2
You didn't play the games.
Let me guess you're going to say Kanto is endgame? Kys homosexual
nah you are shit go stick your head in a fricking blender
What’s that gonna do, chop my hair off? More deadly than Johto shitmons like Smoochum at least I’ll give you that.
nah it will slice into your skill and turn your already damaged brain into mush homosexual hurry up and do it gay c**t!
Like a Meganiums razor leaf it will hit for 1 hp, a baby could beat up Johto and it’s baby mons along with you
nah it couldn't you are weak as frick and need to have stuck your homosexual head in a blender yesterday
You are strong by Johto standards kid, which means you are about level 20, maybe one day you can be like Pryce who lived his whole life and his mons aren’t 30 yet.
you are just a homosexual go stick your head in a fricking blender
Already did but it was a Johto blender
no you fricking didn't homosexual if you did you would be dead gay c**t!
When will this meme end, Johto probably has the highest percentage of top tier Pokemon of any other than 4 when compared to dex size.
Pokemon like scizor, tyranitar, blissey, skarmory, heracross, forretress, steelix, crobat, wobuffet, kingdra, umbreon and quagsire and azumarill post gen-3, are all very good, and several others like lanturn, smeargle, slowking and feraligatr, porygon2 and politoed post gen-5 HA/eviolite are also pretty good. Remove the 6 legendaries from the total, and all the NFE-s, and thats 19/57 fully evolved Pokemon that range from top tier to pretty good, and theres also around 7-8 decent pokemon aswell like espeon, donphan, ampharos, ursaring, hitmontop, jumpluff, houndoom.
The problem isnt that johto pokemon are weak, but rather the the remaining half of the dex are for the most part unusable shitmons or NFE-s that didnt get an evo until gen 4, which makes most johto mons either really bad or really good, with little inbetween, on top of the shitmons being generally the most common/easiest to find, makes the dex appear weaker than it does. I mean hoenn has less top tier to very good pokemon in absolute terms than johto, yet you rarely see people b***h about how weak hoenn pokemon are because most of the hoenn pokemon are in that not very good, but also not very bad tier, which masks the problem over.
> but rather the the remaining half of the dex are for the most part unusable shitmons or NFE-s that didnt get an evo until gen 4,
Because Gen2 was only allowed to have 100 Pokémon ans game freaks wastes dex slots on baby pokemon instead of evolutions for the single stagers.
> yet you rarely see people b***h about how weak hoenn pokemon
Your reasons are most true but there a bit more too it. Game FreakTPC actual new what the they were doing when marketing Gen3 since they weee actually willing to show off new Pokémon. Compare that to Gen 2 where the baby Pokémon took up nearly all the shilling, and even tconsistently shilled were the baby Pokémon. Imagine it the only pokemon to get any attention in Hoeen was Luvdisc, while the starters were barely allowed to get cards.
Speaking to a starters that’s another thing. Starters play a huge role in the perception of a generation as a whole, thr Hoeen starters agent nearly as much buffs ans shilling as GenWun, meanwhile the Johto starts are among the most neglected Pokémon in the franchise and 2/3 of which are only known by most people for being complete shitmons.
Finally the Hoenn dex was allowed to BE the Hoeen dex, as in Gen 3 Pokémon are were the main focus in Gen 3 so Gen 3 shitmons are only competing with other Gen 3 Pokémon. Meanwhile Gen 2 shitmons has to compete with GenWun Pokemon.
TLDR: Gen 3 Pokémon we’re living on easy mode
I too love to copy talking points from my favorite youtubers to Ganker.org/vp/
>No endgame until stadium 2
Please elaborate.
AND THEN IT CHARGED AND ROLLED TO ATTACK! SO FAST AND COOL!
Yep.
I remember.
>new Pokemon
>everything polished and seems so fresh
>exp bar and other QoL goodies
>day/night cycle according to player's time
>introduction of eggs (and egg moves)
>meeting raikou, entei and suicune
>suspense
>Team Rocket more interesting than before
>shiny Pokemon
>Pokemon Stadium 2
>the Little Cup of Pokemon Stadium 2 has another layer of fun
>revisiting Kanto
Nothing will be so new anymore.
I'm too much of a zoomer. I was born just in time to be old enough (97p were Gen 1 and 2 could still be found pretty easy and gen 3 was the hot new thing and I always wondered why the frick they got rid of the day night cycle or why we didn't get a stadium 3 or why there wasn't another region to go to. It just seemed like the technology got better, it was the gameboy ADVANCED so why were the games seemingly only marginally more better than gen 2? Of course, gens 3, 4, and 5 are alright, atleast imo.
i remember posting in rate my team threads on gamewinners dot com in '01 I had the prima guide too which makes you a god to your fellow 11 year olds.
No, I was 4
It was unironically the best time to be a kid.
You remember when in the Mewtwoovie that random trainer threw out a Donphan in the opening. I was like O__O
It truly was a WHOLE NEW WORLD
Fkn lol.
I didn't have access to the internet when I played Pokemon back then but I had a magazine that featured a sneak peek at all the Johto Pokemon with their romanized Japanese names and none of the bullshit that guy got.
Yes. And it is still kino to this day. I just beat the elite four.
