Red and Blue have the same amount of years between their release and Gen 4 as Gen 4 to now, imagine that.
Ten years in September 28th.
>anvilposting is 2 days old
feels like only yesterday
>>24935089
just in time for the next game/remake :^)
>>24935072
>mfw first realized I could connect my DS to my speakers
>>24935072
You just made so many memories come back.
Legit mind blowing.
>>24935072
Nope. Cyrus has better bass
>>24934871
>2006
THAT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE
I REMEMBER PLAYING IT LIKE IT WAS LAST WEEK
>pokemon platinum was the last game my grandmom bought for me before she passed
>>24934871
What if Game Freak surprises us and gives us D/P remakes in September 2016 and Z in early 2017?
>>24935484
That would bea great birthday present
>>24935484
after seeing ORAS i don't know if i want game freak to give us any more remakes
>>24935484
2 remakes in one gen? I don't think so.
>>24935503
what's wrong with ORAS?
>>24935532
Could have been so much more but nearly everything was executed badly
>>24935417
cyrus stole arceus drums
>tfw Dawn will become 20 this year.
Jesus I remember walking 3 miles to the mall to get this the day it came out.
I was a freshman in college.
>>24935463
How are you holding up, man ?
>>24935330
Glad I could, man. I love that theme. It edges out Colress, which is tough to do.
>>24935417
And N has better melody. They're both good, but N's is more unique and overall more impressive.
I imported the Japanese version of pearl. I even wrote about how excited I was in my livejournal... I'm so fucking old.

For me, it's the huge lack of variety in content. The game just feels bland very quickly. There's contests, there's battling, there's secret bases, there's breeding, there's maison, there's soaring/mirage island, and there's dexnav. Contests and secret bases really lack content and replayability, providing little incentive to revisit them. A lot of the charm of contests was lost in ORAS, such as seeing the judge and the crowd go wild and what not, as well as being able to go talk to the crowd on the upper floor, as well as the removal of Pokeblock minigame. Multiplayer battling, trading, and breeding are staples of the franchise, so we ignore them. Maison is copy-pasted from XY, and so doesn't represent anything new. Soaring/mirage islands and legendary catching in general represent a finite amount of additional content, maybe 10-12 hours worth.
So what you're left with that's really gold is only DexNav and Secret Bases to a marginal extent. Compare this to HGSS, where you could do the bug catching contest, fuck around with the safari zone customization, do all the gym leader rematches, do the Pokeathlon, just chill and listen to the radio, have fun smashing a ton of rocks for fossils in the Ruins of Alph, walk around with your following Pokemon and get all the gold leaves, use the Pokewalker irl, take team pictures, just admire the beautiful ambient sounds and splash art, etc.
Compare this with B2W2, where you could use the Dream World, use the Entralink to complete Funfest missions (these were great, if you never tried them), build up your Join Avenue, compete in PWT, battle loads of postgame trainers like N, Hugh, Cynthia, etc, take on Black Tower/White Treehollow, Battle Subway, fuck around with Black City/White Forest, etc.
Compare this with XY, where you could make your trainer PR videos, buy all the clothes and make your favorite outfits, take pictures to post on Global Link, compete in the Chateau, do the Looker sidequest, etc.

>tfw university had an amazing bus system
>tfw university had an amazing everything system
>tfw dropped out anyways
>>24934871
That's not true. This is a conspiracy to hide the truth.
I remember hating the gen 4 starters when I was still a little Hoennbaby, now here I am, they're my favorite bunch.

>shit taste this bad

I'm a Gen V fanboy and think it has the best soundtrack but damn it's a crime to not think this theme is pure perfection.
My first pokemon game was Gold in like 2004 because my Dad found it and we were really poor so it was all we could afford. I got Leafgreen when it came out for my birthday. We got internet that wasn't dial up right around when the first leaks for D/P where being released.
I had gotten Diamond and I was so happy, but my cousin stole it and I went into that whole phase of not liking Pokemon because I'm an adult.
Then Heartgold came out and I got back into it, embracing the fandom, embracing it and loving it. I felt like Pokemon grew up with me. I was no longer a poor kid playing gold on a second hand gameboy.
God damn 4th gen was the best gen.
>mfw I remember a girl who wanted my D badly bought this for me for my birthday
I think I spent that entire birthday playing Diamond.
>>24934871
>mfw my 10 years old cousin couldn't get past the very first routes in the game while I got past rock tunnel without flash when I was 10
>mfw I don't have a face
I didn't like D/P/Pt very much, but they were good nonetheless. My favorites are stille Gold/Silver/HG/SS and motherfucking B/W/B2/W2.
But let's talk about Diamond and good memories, and not about that fucktard that could not reach even the first gym.
I played diamond with a friend that had Pearl, we searched for unowns, secrets and even reached Arceus. I remember resetting so many times in order to get a nearly-perfect one.
Wow, 10 years already.
And I never used that Arceus.
>>24936628
>buy someone you wanna get with a video game
Man, what was she thinking?
Diamond was the first pokemon game i played, followed by fire redw then platinum
>>24936194
I think i might drop out this year
>>24936666
>and even reached Arceus
Kys my man
>>24935463
So my Wikka worked...
>>24936238
Pretty good theme
Too bad it doesn't have a likeable character to back it up, most people are just gonna dislike it cause it's associated with her
>>24935463
my grandmother used to send me pokemon games in the mail when they came out because she knew i loved them
platinum was also the last one i got
>>24938066
i liked her cuz boobs
>>24938045
make sure you have something lined up first
>>24936666
Your cousin must have been retarded.
>>24938089
I want to move to japan and get an agricultural job, idk how to set it up though
>>24938142
That sounds like a sketchy and unrealistic plan, to be honest. I imagine agriculture isn't an easy field (hehe) to get into unless you want to be out there picking crops (you don't). Most agriculture jobs are hereditary.
>>24938142
what were you going to major in and how far were you?
>>24938153
Its in demand though, like quite highly
>>24938175
Only one year of a double major in physics and comp sci. Will be starting 2nd year feb. Its not like im bad, i get hd and d exclusively
>>24938198
then why do you want to drop?
>>24938024
Are you me?
>>24938200
It just feels pointless to me towards the end. Plus I would like to live in japans country side.
I can always go back, right?
>>24938256
you'll find out one day
>>24938273
Youre saying id regret it?
>>24938066
It's a huge shame to let other elements affect your judgement of music. There's music that fits a scene/battle and there's music that can enhance those moments. Zinnia is definitely the latter while the other two are the former.
Character/Plot relevance:
N>Cyrus>>>>>Zinnia
Battle theme:
Zinnia>>>>>N>Cyrus
When I first heard Zinnia's theme I just forgot about everything leading up to that point and wanted to have an epic battle.Which unfortunately was stupid easy.
>>24934975
It'll happen.
Around late 2017 or 2018
>tfw I was 10 when I got diamond and pearl
>tfw I'm turning 19 this year
I-Is this was being old feels like, /vp/?
>>24938458
You think it'll be that soon? I assumed it wouldn't be til like 2019.
>>24938002
>not being so devoted to pokemon that you fuck while playing on L=A mode with your left hand and either a GBC or tit in the right hand
You'll never be a pokemon master that way
Can't wait to see what kind of weird shit they do with Team Galactic in the remakes. The revamped teams were my favorite part of ORAS and salvaged Aqua/Magma for me. I already like Galactic so this should be good.
