Literally the best pokemon game ever.
Why does it make it the best? ive only played pokem black andx
>>333434693
I stopped after the gold one if I remember correctly, centuries ago.
I've been tempted to retry the series but there are so many pokemons now...
Recommend me some please!
>>333434693
I agree
>tfw no other game will even come close to it in the series
FRLG, Emerald, Platinum, HGSS, BW2, and ORAS are all better.
Really pretty much any Pokemon game that isn't outright outdated except XY.
>>333434693
Your opinion is shitB2W2 were the best
>>333434914
GREEN IZ BEST
>>333434693

>best pokemon game
Pick one and only one.
Kill yourself
Good story does not excuse boring, overly linear world design and shitty pokemon selection
Gen V was shit anon. Go back to /vp/.
>>333434693
No. Truth > ideals
Black 2 is better
I agree.
BW2 and HGSS were also pretty great.
>>333434693
isnt this Farm Audino to Level Version?
B2/W2 were way superior

While I agree, /vp/ is a better place to discuss this
>>333434693
Are Black/White better than HG/SS and if so, how? The latest Pokemon I've played is HG and I liked it a lot.
I also just got a 3DS, are X/Y and OR/AS worth getting?
>>333434967
>there are so many pokemons now...
That's like complaining about there being too many armors/weapons/etc in any other RPG.
You use the ones you like and disregard the others.
>>333435342I don't actually think B and W have a remotely good story, I just said it because it seems to be peoples' main praise for the gameGold and Silver and even Red and Blue had better stories IMO; they felt like actual coming-of-age adventures rather than generic JRPG bullshit
>>333435342
It is fairly common belief that BW1 actually has a "great story".
Of course though, anyone who tells you that it does can be dismissed as having shit-ass taste.
>>333435394
What is Giga Impact?
>>333435458
yeah
Which ones, /v/?
>>333435476
How long does it take to catch them all now?
>>333435052
>Emerald, HGSS and ORAS are better than BW
nigga what the fuck
>>333435583
Can't go wrong with either pair. They both offer plenty over the other.
>>333435583
B2W2, HGSS is literal garbage for nostalgia retards that fixed literally none of the issues from the original games.
>>333435642
They're all flawed, but still better games than BW1.
>>333435385
>worst region
Yea, I say its as bad as Kalos.
>worst starters
Also agree.
>even more handholding than gen 4
Really? Aside from the beginning catching tutorial and when your forced into the center I cant remember anything else. The main problem I had with the pacing was how many times you were interuppted to fight someone.
>shitty friend characters
Better than X/Y atleast
>only 156 pokemon
Considering all of them were new I didnt have much of a problem with it. My main problem was the lack of variety of pokemon found early game. You are pretty much forced to get a monkey.
>>333435458
BW/BW2 are easily the weakest entries in the series. Don't take any of these fedoras from /vp/ seriously. That's not to say they aren't worth playing through though.
If you like pokemon, XY/ORAS are definitely worth it.
>>333435519
What is more satisfying? A lackluster shockwave or a gigantic fucking kamehameha?
I fucking cannot stand the new 3d art style they have now. I bought a 3ds and pokemon Y, and I can't play it, I can only really blame it on the new art style they have.
Maybe I've just grown out of the genre? I don't even know anymore.
>>333435813
An attack who greatly benefits from Slaking Attack stat?
>>333435718
It fixed several areas in Kanto being stripped down from the original due to space limitations.
The rest of GSC's issues are still there, though.
>>333435765
Gen 5 shits all over Gen 6 you fucking retard
>>333434693
It had the best campaign. Other than that, BW2 beats it in every way.
>>333435912
Maybe you're just a faggot
>>333434693
You're correct, but this should still be on /vp/
>>333435963

>>333435385

Both of those honors go to Kaolos friendo.
>>333435930
In gen 3 all normal type attacks were based on attack. I was talking about that dummy

Not HG/SS.
>>333434693
>>333434914
>>333435583
NONE OF THESE ARE CRYSTAL SO THEY'RE SHIT
Also no nostalgia here I started at gen 3 played gen 4 after and still think Crystal is the GOAT.
>>333435394
well in return we got hyper beam porygon-z for your full on wave motion cannon action
blasting a hole clean through a blissey with a special attack was god damn fun
>>333435994
touché
>>333434693
2 is better
If SuMo is half as good as gen V, i'm going to bust gallons
>>333436037
And it 4th gen onward, Giga Impact is literally the physical version of Hyper Beam.
>>333435932
True, at least we got the Viridian Forest back.
>>333436213
>Adaptability Normal Gem Porygon-Z uses Hyper Beam
If you don't think that's the tightest shit you can get out of my face.
>>333435765
ORAS gets more shit than deserved, but XY is mediocre as fuck. If it weren't for all the communication aspects, and competitive being easier to legitimately get into than ever, both of which ORAS have anyways, they'd be completely unremarkable.
BW1's mediocre as fuck too though.
Add a 2 to it and I'll agree.
>>333436383
only thing better was hyper beam tauros in gen 1
>>333434967

>>333436979
No, it's the worst PMD story. Probably the worst story of any popular 3DS game. Yes, even worse than Fire Emblem Fates, but people act like it's good anyways because it's a Pokemon game with heavy story.

Did people keep caring about Pokemon after turning 12?
how come there hasn't been any full 3D pokemon game on a console? would have helped with the low sales of the WiiU given that any pokemon game is a system seller
Agreed BW and its sequels are the pinnacle of the series and if you think other wise you are retarded.
HGSS and PT are honorable mentions
>>333437241
Out of curiosity, what do you hate about Gen V so much?
>>333437241
You only got the Elder God and Shit tiers correct
That's better than everyone else in this threads' opinions though
>>333436979
I haven't beaten Explorers yet, but from what I've played it has better pacing than Explorers at least, which I feel moves too quickly. The side stories make up for that in Explorers though, but I think Super's slowness is its advantage, because when the story picks up its easier to care about what's happening to everyone, whereas in Explorers its constantly moving, and sometimes has silly dumb things as a result, like time stopping in one area of the world and everyone moving on from that to regular duties like its almost nothing.
>>333437140
You're crazy.
>worst PMD story
>when Rescue Team exists, which is extremely simple in comparsion
>worst story of any popular 3DS game
Its story is better than Devil Survivor Overclock and better than Etrian Odyssey Untold at least.as those are the only other 3DS games I've played.
Its story isn't good just because of Pokemon + heavy story. Its story is good because it takes a good bit of time to focus on the characters, even at the expense of moving the story forward since that's all the game will be doing for the first 9 chapters.

Incredibly boring, no decent Pokémon introduced,

Had SHIT sequels that were literally the exact same game claiming to be different games, rather than the usual game that at least admitted to being the exact same thing
Replaced contests, an interesting minigame, with the shitty musical thing they had going on
Shit region
The only thing about Gen V that is good is that it had the moving Pokémon.
Also, GTI was the worst thing ever, it soiled PMD's name and I hate it and I hate my life and I'm going to go kill myself, bye

These are 100% correct

>>333438193
HGSS was the only Pokemon Game with good music. Gen 1-3 didn't have high enough quality for the composers' vision, Gen 5-6 music lacked impact, and DPPt music was entirely dissonant.

Who would've guessed?
>>333435253
not true btw.
>>333437759
I also think the story in the Gen 5 games is shit and in BW1 particularly intrusive, but BW2're still my favorite games. There's tons of content, polish, the expansions to Unova make the game world huge without half of it being totally barren, tons of little details, there's a huge variety of Pokemon to choose from for main game whether you like Unova's new batch or not, it's just great to me.
I don't mind the reused assets, though.

>>333438891
Eh, I think they did good enough

>>333439070

>>333437759
>no decent Pokémon introduced
It has the most pokemon introduced in a gen, of course there would be some bad designs just like every other region. If you actually disliked every single one of them, well, there's no cure for shit taste.
>Tried too hard with the ''''''story'''''', which should never be a focus in a pokémon main series game, because the story is always shit
Holy fuck are you serious? You like eating up the same bland crap they always churn out? BW broke so many conventions with it's story and that's what made it interesting. It's not a very good story, but it was the best out of the mainline games and was a step in the right direction for the series.
>Had SHIT sequels that were literally the exact same game claiming to be different games, rather than the usual game that at least admitted to being the exact same thing
Confirmed for not playing BW2. Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum were pretty much rehashes, BW2 actually did more than that and set the region 2 years later. It was an actual sequel. Much more interesting than a rehash.
>Replaced contests, an interesting minigame, with the shitty musical thing they had going on
I'll give you that. Musicals weren't fun, yeah, but Pokestar studios wasn't bad.
>Shit region
Wew lad.
Blind Gen V haters never cease to disappoint with their terribly backed up opinions of the games.
>>333439063
People got butthurt BW forced them to use the new mons and never gave them a fair chance.
The only thing 5th gen brought to the table was reusable TMs
>>333439096
I've never been one to just sit and grind on wild pokemon all day, and yet I've never had an issue with "level scaling" in Kanto.
CPUs are easy as fuck to beat anyway, so being underleveled shouldn't be that big of any issue.

that's not BW2. Gen 5 was the best tho.
>>333439445
The only structural change with Gen V is the league getting hijacked at the end of BW1, and the gym leaders getting more involved with the story, but the latter doesn't really impact much. Otherwise it's pretty much the same sort of shit as usual but forced in your face more, and not really handled all that well when the game tosses any moral ambiguity with Plasma out the window in your second encounter with them and never spends any time trying to build any back up.

Anon you're supposed to select a Pokemon that was KO'd, say that's the one you'll switch, then select the one you want to replace it with. Then do the same with the other. That way they end up in the position you want.

Well, on the bright side, it's a different experience instead of a full-on retard mode clone.
>>333444428
100% true. There's nothing that great about HGSS and I usually never hear anything good about it from the fans that gush over it.
>>333445085
There's nothing about it that trumps it over the previous game, Pokemon Platinum, which is also a very good game.
Yeah you get 8 more gyms to challenge but what else? The Battle Frontier that I could challenge in Platinum?
>>333434693
Black > White. Techno dragon city beats rustic old town any day.
I share the sentiment about Gen 5 being the best though.
BW really felt like an attempt by GF to give a rebirth to Pokemon. Although a lot of the 'mons were derivative, they were mostly well designed (with the exceptions of a few cherry-picked ones). It still astounds me how they broke the mold by hi-jacking the champion boss battle and diverting it into a REAL boss battle.
That being said, post-game is shit, BW2 blows it outta the fucking water.
People always point out how you could fight Gen 1 gym leaders in Gen 2, but ignore the fact that you could fight EVERY gym leader AND champion from every region before it.Gen 6 best waifus tho.
