I love gen 2's aesthetic so much, it really doesn't have a single design that I dislike
>nu-Pokémon

God damn. If you remove the two troony dogs, qwilfish, and smoochum, gen 2 really is kino top-to-bottom
zoomers and people who lived outside minnesota will never understand the joy of walking into a Shinder's and seeing rack after rack of trading cards, pokemon cards, official art, holographic posters, plushes only available in japan... the 90s were such a good fricking time
what the hell happened to the world? it's not that i grew up, either. all the older folks i talk to agree, in 30 years we've completely regressed
i can't stand it anymore. it used to be so good. i'm sorry it's not here for you anymore.
nostalgia distorts your perception to make it seem that way. Heck, I'm a zoomer and I already feel that way about the early 2010s. Everything you dislike about the modern day was either present or had a counterpart in the 90s. You were just blissfully unaware of it all as a child. History begins when you develop an awareness of events around you.
>I'm a zoomer
The first sentence made it clear zoom zoom
Wrong.
There weren't disgusting troons everywhere when I was younger.
>nostalgia distorts your perception to make it seem that way
There were a lot of bad things back then, but Pokemon at the time was crazy good.
I'm a zoomer too and I can see that all people my age are homosexuals and nothing made in this millennium is worth a damn
>only ask old people if they think the world was better back in the day
>they agree
Gee it’s almost like 99% of people will agree that the world was better when they were younger. People older than 90s kids will say their childhood was the best.
Part of being human is always longing for a past that truly never was
People long for when they weren't fully aware of the world. When they fetishise it its even worse.
why is zoomer still being thrown around as insult when hoennbabies today are in their mid 20s now? a genwunner still posting on /vp/ at the age of 30+ is more autistic anyways
>what the hell happened to the world?
9/11
Unironically.
Whenever the topic of modern American political discourse or societal collapse comes up around me, I always, always mention that the start of the decline as we know it was 9/11
The fun stopped there
>everything was better when I was a child
grow up
Its an objective fact that the modern times are awful. 2012 and everything afterwards are the clown years. Thats what I've noticed.
This "you only think the past was better because nostalgia". I've been hearing this shit since 2005, and I may have bought it back then, and it may be partly true. But these days? No, the past was better because the present is hell. Its like everything before 2012 was some illusion. The world has gone to such shit, that even zoomers watching 80s/90s home movies noticed that something happened. And to think, that objectively speaking, even the 90s were a huge downgrade compared to the 80s on alot of things! Maybe zoomers are better off not knowing life from back then, ignorance is bliss. They'll probably feel nostalgia for the early 2020s only because the world ends up getting even worse.
Tumblr and Twitter was a mistake - more news @ 11
>objective
Don't use words when you don't know what they mean. Things are better when you're a child, and you grew up and think that things have changed when you just stopped being naive.
Every fricking generation has talked shit about the one after them, this has been going on since the Romans.
Pokemon is still huge with kids today and it's everywhere, not much has changed.
>Japanese and Americans tell Gamefreak they want to frick Gardevoir and Lucario instead of Bulbasaur and Mudkip
>Gamefreak completely stopped making Monsters and went to make Digimon-like fursonas for the furries to enjoy
Ew god atleast use the red/blue sprites and not this vomit inducing nonsense. Anyone saying these somehow look better (other than mewtwo) is lying straight out of their ass
these somehow look better, most of them
>she thinks Red/Blue had better spirtes
lmao
This ahahahah
Red/Blue
one of my favorite sprites ever
massive soul
Since we can cherrypick im just going to challenge you both to keep posting sprites until you run out at like 10-12 and i still have 130+ to go through
I love that Venusaur sprite unironically.
it looks menacing and creepy, like legit a monster from a horror movie
Both sides are cherrypicking. Red/Green has the better sprites overall, because Blue's sprites aren't "improved" sprites, they're alternate poses. Red/Green were meant to be the "default" sprites, and looking at some mons with wonky or off model Blue sprites (Blastoise, Mewtwo, Pidgeot, Tauros, Magneton, Kadabra, Weezing, Dugtrio, Kabuto, Eevee, Kakuna, Jynx, etc.) demonstrates this.
nostalgiagays are moronic holy shit
I love how the rhydon's green sprite was so obviously created first you can see the older jankier art style
Woah, they look like shit
SO.
MUCH.
SOVL.
Gen 5 is the last one I really acknowledge as Pokemon. I’m in my mid 20s now and feeling my passion for the franchise die is pretty depressing.
Same.
Gen 5 got me back into pokemon (I skipped 3&4).
Gen 5 just resonated with what I thought the ethos of pokemon was even though there were some misses the attempt was at least genuine to the spirit of the series.
X/Y were "good" in the sense of the introduced novelty of 3D. If you took away 3d it didn't have much going for it.
SuMo killed the series for me again. It was blatantly obvious they were scraping the bottom of the barrel. Glad I never got into swsh and have no hope for sv
You can still maintain passion for it so long as you can just mentally accept that new installments will never make you feel like you’re 10 again
Just stay passionate about the generations you do enjoy, at least
just play romhacks. better yet, make your own mongame. that's what i'm doing
This looks good, please post more
it's got a demo, try it out.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1886210/Mirrored_Soul/
shit's a bit rough around the edges at the moment (there's even a typo in the opening crawl which i'm trying to upload the fix for but steam is being a little b***h) but it's a long-ass demo, takes most people around 2 hours.
also while you're at it, play Pokemon Clover, i did some music for that
Stop shilling your fricking game.
what music did u made for clover?
a few of the shittier legend themes. i didn't put much effort or thought into them which i regret
i like all legendary themes, which exactly did u make?
narwhiz/niterpent, griff/boar, heliofug was a collab between me and another guy
these themes are pure kino, if you didnt actually put effort into these, i wonder how they would sound if you actually did
i'm putting more effort into my stuff for gaia v4
i will play your demo now anon
No it doesn't
Post less
I think people who shit on these sprites are viewing them through the lens of their current designs. This was before Pokemon was a franchise, back when it was created as just a cool little Monster Collector RPG. Almost every franchise has inconsistent designs at the start before establishing an artstyle. In Pokemons case, the anime codified most of the designs and thus it's more "sanitized"
Golem is bad regardless
>2022
>not liking golem
hahaha gottem
first gen was so weird, it was this kind of feeling
>wtf did my thing evolve into, I can barely see what is going on. OH SHIT it's so strong now
Now we're stressed out
>Koffing’s face and skull/crossbones aren’t incorrectly swapped
Soulless
>genwun da best cause it da first
All gens sucked.
yep all pokemon games are shit but FRLG, HGSS and BW2 are the least shit
But FRLG is super shit.
it's the only good Kanto experience
RBGY were broken mess with ugly UI, ugly sprites and tons of bugs.
LGPE is butchered games made for dumb toddlers who don't know how to play video games
And yet it's a boring slog that looks like shit because gen 3.
I'd rather play the originals, where you can have fun with their bugs if you want or play it straight.
nah, I will pass on the awful, small movepools and play FRLG with its better movepools, items, abilities, more pokemon and and dozens of QoL changes
And it's still shit.
suit yourself soulless drone.
>more pokemon
part of the appeal of gen 1 is that those godawful future pokemon don't exist at all so this is not a good thing
An improvement, souls do not exist. Keep your religious shit out of my game.
left soulless
right soul
>muh broken mess and glitches
Stop parroting others
>inb4 oh noes blizzard has 20% more accuracy than later games, this game is super unplayable
>Wanting those abortions
Gen 1 was a dumpsterfire and should have died on launch, it only succeeded because Nintendo poured money into marketing it in the west.
First, the game was already a hit in Japan
Second, why are you on this board?
that dragonite makes a lot more sense with the rest of the line
GF would make bank having a B team make 2D games.
This shit was terrible even back then.
>There's something wrong with my koffing
I'm honestly shocked there hasn't been a callback to this error with all the memberberries they've been doing lately with regional forms, gigantamax and shit.
Because Blue sold like shit (compared to Red/Green), and Koffing's Red/Green sprite is fine. They only really care about Pokemon outside of Japan when it comes to numbers, unless it has to do with Anniversaries or sales, Pokemon might as well be Japan only.
ngl these sprites actually look pretty decent with this kind of lighting and shading
The Gen 1 "bad sprites" meme comes from people that don't know about how franchises usually start out with different-ish designs than later on. There are a few eh ones but most look perfectly good
Literally nothing wrong with most of those. How is Dugtrio off model?
>The Gen 1 "bad sprites" meme comes from people that don't know about how franchises usually start out with different-ish designs than later on
Of course, but they still look ugly and really unrefined. There's no excuse for Koffing for example
>Literally nothing wrong with most of those
They look like Chinese knock offs, where is the quality control?
the sprites actually came first, Sugimori's illustrations were based on them. technically
(technically), the sprites are the correct versions.
No they don’t
