As a game PokemonGo is absolute trash. It's popular purely because of the community and because everyone is doing it. It's extremely janky and buggy with nothing to do. After you've caught all the Pokemon in your area all you can do is go capture the same gyms over and over again for pointless color wars.

To put it another way, if nobody in the world played PokemonGo and you were the only one that had it you would never play it because it's not fun, it's the community activity that makes it good.
Something like even Red and blue would still be fun to play even if you were the only one if the world playing them.

Firered/Leafgreen with this romhack: http://www.mediafire.com/download/hpebax5p81tifdk/Pokemon_Fire_Red_PS_Split_Nat_Dex_Patch.ips

This applies the physical/special split from gen 4 (IE, wether a move uses attack/defense or special attack/special defense is on a per move basis, not a per type basis, so say a fire pokemon with high physical attack can actually use fire attacks that use it's best stat), as well as removing the dumb limitation that you can't get cross gen evos.

The entire model for Shuffle is alluring you with collecting pokémon that help with trickier stages, but making the stages so bullshit you need absolutely perfect strategies, and items if you want S-ranks at all.

The game becomes an absolute grind if you play for free, and there's no satisfaction in redeeming grinded currency for easy win items so you can progress.

yah but pokemon games are like kirby games

even the worst ones aren't bad

ORAS are way better than crystal btw and XY are better than B&W
>>
>>345385847
A million reasons.

Main reason is the game is coded like shit, so it's slow as fucking balls, more then the GB ones. Horribly roster of Pokemon. New Pokemon are mainly legitimate garbage. Most new Pokemon are either shitty evolutions, or can't be obtained till post game, or are Legendaries. Graphics are shit, region is boring as hell sans Snow area. Characters are extremely forgettable. Team Galactic are by far the stupidest in the series, with dumb goal. There is more then just that.
The only good things are the OST [which is sadly pretty mellow most of the time, which makes the already slow game even more boring], and the difficulty.

That said, Platinum fixes so fucking much of the games, that it's arguably one of the very best of the entire series. Still anyone who doubts how bad DP have aged either played it first, or got into competitive at the time strengthening nostalgia. I would highly recommend starting a new file, and playing it legit [no pc cheats or speed up] and see how well it has aged.

not to defend the p2w format, but the game still functions with it. And the original game itself is also a grind since it's about collecting pokemon that randomly appear.

Picross on the other hand simply doesn't work.

I live out in the boondocks. I can understand the lack of gyms and stops, but the complete lack of pokemon is absolutely retarded.

After working 9 hours at a vet clinic, the last thing I feel like doing is driving around a town or city trying to find pokemon. Make them spawn out in the boonies and the game gains a major improvement.
>>
>>345391172
Black and White 2 are some of the best games in the entire Pokemon series, though.

Although I do admit I didn't like BW1, the starters are probably the worst in the entire franchise, and in general a lot of the new Pokemon were underwhelming.
>>
>>345391156
Nice rebuttal.
BW had a terrible over the top, constantly shoved in your face story, the pixel stretching in battle and the moving camera were painful to look at.
The sprites themselves in the overworld look terrible, especially with the 2.5D shit and completely flat character sprite.
The music was average and only some of the mons were cool.
Some grew on me as I played but most of the mons from Gen5 are still boring to me.
The legendaries themselves are forgettable too.

I gave it a good 5 hours of play. Multiple places, multiple situations, and I can honestly say it is beyond grindy.

I don't really remember the dragons and bugs that well. The one you posted is pretty cool. The dark one was alright, not really a fan of the head hands though. The one-stage lego dragon was shit.
Electric spider friend was cute at first, but the evolution was a bit generic looking to me for some reason.

Sawk and Throh are like better version of Hitmonchan/Lee and you know it.

Pidove is no worse than Pidgey

Cryogonal is no worse than Porygon

What people seem to miss is how fucking closely the Gen V 151 are designed SPECIFICALLY to mirror the Gen I 151; fucks sake it was even the only gen to include a 000 mon as a little nod to MissingNo.

People bitch about shit like "snowball-icicle that looks like ice cream!" but they never bitch about "pile of eggs on a palm tree that look like coconuts!" even though that sort of visual pun is what they're goddamn copying.

Gen VI was shit.

Gen V gave 150, and while it had some that people didn't like, it also had shit tons that people liked. Probably the most new cool pokemon introduced in a gen since the first game.

I actually like Icecreamfriend, I just think there are so many designs that just come off as lazily designed padding. There are good designs sprinkled throughout the generation, but then there's all the forgettable ones that bury them because they wanted to try a weird reboot thing.

Hitmonlee is a fun design but the Red Oni / Blue Oni karate/judo thing Sawk and Throh had going was a more clever pairing than Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee's "punches / kicks" dichotomy

That's actually what I dislike most about it. Finally a game without zubats and they decided adding another shitty bat was a good idea. Would have been better if it was a completely new 150 monsters that didn't try to mirror anything.

I agree with you there, seems like gen 7 is doing the right thing by adding new abilities etc.

They tried really hard just making carbon copies.

My last date was in Pokemon Volt White and its typing gets destroyed too badly by the Elite 4. Took too long to evolve also. You're a faggot.
>>
>>345394130
Yeah but every game needs shitmons. It's just a part of game balance.

What I WILL say is that Gen IV did the right thing by making their filler shitmon (Bidoof/Bibarel) extremely useful as an HM slave, so it wasn't JUST box-filler.

But at the end of the day, the game can't be all OU-viable mons. It just can't. The sense of progression would be fucked.
>>
>>345374461
No rollerskates and idk about frameratedrops but that's rarely been an issue for me altough I have a n3ds so that's probably why.
They turned the town with the daycare into just a huge mall ish "city" for some reason, which has that stupid movement from the city in X/Y, but you rarely ever have a reason to go there once you've beat the gym, so it's not nearly as big of an issue as in X/Y. The game is pretty good. If you liked the rest of XY apart from the things you mentioned and you like R/S then it's worth a buy.
>>
>>345394503
Gotta be honest, I'm REALLY liking gen 7 so far. I was worried when I was the legendaries but everything past that is looking really good, especially with the abilities as you said.

Really?

So that when you have a party of eggs, you can hop on your bike and ride in a straight line forever to hatch them without having to stop and turn around

It's also why the IV rater is sitting right outside the daycare.

It's actually a really nice quality of life improvement.
>>
>>345395015
That'd be cool, though I'm always worried that they'll make a relatively simple and elegant design overdesigned and stupid with a Mega. I feel like there's only a 30% chance that a Mega will actually look better than its original version.

>super training made EV training actually fun

>Daycare restructuring made mass-breeding for ultra-good IVs and natures a LOT less of a slog, at least

It's really not bad like it used to be. I still would like to see some sort of Battle-Frontier-winnable item that increases a given IV by one, so egg moves + beneficial nature is technically all you HAVE to breed for and the rest is just down to saving time for item earning, but still.

It's a crime we never got Z. XY had way, way less issues then DP did. Imagine how good Z could be if it improved as much from XY as plat. did for DP

>>345385826
Nah. Literally all they need to be almost on par with Plat/HGSS is for the casualization to be removed, and battle frontier.

>>345390829
It's pretty casualized and there's no post game challenge areas. there's still a post game plot line, but it's not a repeatable thing you can do over and over and have fun with.

>>345391316
>>345392042
I thought the story was pretty good for pokemon. Lysandre is actually somewhat relatable and the AZ/ancient war stuff was cool.

I know gen 5 supposedly has a really good story that makes Gen 6's look bad, but i've only played gens 1-4 and XY, and compared to RBY/FRLG, GSC?HGSS, RSE, and DPPT, XY's story was an improvement.

Nope. Pokemon X and Y made pokemon tolerable again and brought it up to date with more modern games. The UI is so much better and the test speed actually scrolls more than 3 fucking screens per minute. 5 fucking generations!

It took them nearly 20 fucking years to make the text speed move at a reasonable rate. Thank fucking god. Anyone who plays pokemon competitively (not me) should be kissing Game Freak's ass over that change alone.
