They are alright.
>>
>/vp/ is one person

Most people here think they were literally shit. There's a handful that liked them.

Personally, I enjoyed the comfiness of the games, but there's nothing in them that Platinum didn't do better. They weren't great, but they weren't entirely irredeemable.

I don't think anyone would defend either of these.

I think they're cool designs, but the idea of them being living creatures is hard to believe. Palkia doesn't look like he could even walk straight.

The pink one sucks. The blue one is ok at best

They're the worst Pokemon games but still fun.

I want them to skip Sinnoh remakes and go straight to Unova remakes but that won't happen
>>
>>26613245
Sorry, I meant
Genesis Diamond = Beginning of Time
Infinite Pearl = Endless Space

.....omg, I'm good at naming shit.
>>
>>26613263
Best thing we'll probably get are the Sinnoh remakes for the 3DS in Gen 7 and Unova remakes on the superior NX handheld
>>
>>26613250
They are related them from the Legends
Time and Space, Genesis being the start or origins of the life/universe.

Infinite coulda been better if I looked through the thesaurus a bit but.......Te void of Space is endless.

What was bad about DP? I think RS were the worst mainline games desu.
>>
>>26613540
slow, loading time, too many legendaries
cant really remember the other complains but those are the main ones
>>
>>26613282
Thank god

>>26613591
Mon selection. Most of the new mons were shitmons or evos of old mons that were hard to get before the elite 4.
>>
>>26613540
Slow as shit all around but the biggest complaint was the surf speed that made any little surf feel like the expanse of hoenn.
"Saving a lot of data" Which was longer in Platinum even though regular saving speeds were increased
An excessive amount of legendaries but little regular pokemon being added.
Cross gen evos being post game and Gligar being totally unavailable unless you had Emerald.
Very poor selection of Pokemon, especially fire types.
Removed a bunch of shit from contests and secret bases.
The Poketch was mostly useless compared the Pokegear and Nav.
The recap thing before you started the game.
Coronet and the repeated backtracking through it.
Excessive HM use for any pokemon game.
30fps everything including battles.
Input lag in the underground
The only way to get Spiritomb being the underground and the most tedious method of talking, going out, talking, going out, talking, going out and so on.

And it's a subjective one people a lot of people agree it was the point pokemon jumped the shark.
God Pokemon.

Also some of these still apply to Platinum, pretty sure there's more to list off though.

Without a shadow of a doubt, if there is one thing and one thing only that D/P did, it was the introduction of online play. Granted, there were a lot of flaws, but online play is a major staple of Pokémon games to this day.

it also introduced dawn

mmm dawn

The Poketch had a step counter, a friendship meter, a berry map, and a way to see if the daycare had an egg. It's one of the most useful things GF ever took out of the games.

Explain.

I actually really liked 4th gen when I was younger and had fond memories of it, but I tried to go back and start a new game on Platinum recently and it was SOOOOOOOO slow, like Jesus Christ. That fucking HP bar especially.

"The Pokémon Mobile System GB (Japanese: ポケモンモバイルシステムGB Pokémon Mobile System GB) is the Mobile System GB implemented in the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal. It was a paid online service that could be used by connecting to a compatible Japanese mobile phone using the Mobile Game Boy Adapter. It was also implemented in the Japanese version of Pokémon Stadium 2 for use with the Mobile Stadium.

The system was never implemented outside of Japan, likely due to the lack of standardized and cheap mobile phones available overseas at the time and the fact that most younger players could not have access to such devices back then.

In May 2002, Nintendo announced that it would shut down the Mobile System GB service by December 14, 2002.[1][2] This impacted all players since the functionality became inaccessible."

Japan gets all the cool stuff.

>paid online service

Hello precursor to Pokébank.
>>
>>26614064
Everything in japan was a paid service.
If I remember right Monster Hunter Tri was too.
>>
>>26612862
There was a third version to fix its atrocities unlike X/Y.
>>
>>26614087
To bad it didn't fix the important shit.

Worst gen by far.

Only HGSS are good.

>>26614109
HG/SS didn't do anything to improve the originals (awful Pokémon distribution and level curve are still present), so no.

The games or the legends? In both cases I say fuck them, platinum got it right.
>>
>>26612862
Theyre monstrosities?
So, you're saying they look like monsters?

>>26614233

>not knowing about a Japan-only exclusive from 10+ years ago
>>
>>26614290

Not just any monsters. They look like... Pocket Monsters.
>>
>>26612862
Platinum fixes a lot of it.
And Poketch was the best gimmick of the series.
>>
>>26614343

If you were at all familiar with Generation 2, you'd know about it, since it was the only way to get Celebi.

But I guess newfags are too dumb to read.

They're better than Johtoddlers, at least Sinnoh has one redeeming game unlike Johto.

/vp/ used to be in universal agreement that gen 4 was the absolute worst. It was only around 2012 or so that some minds started to change, right as the kiddies who grew up with gen 4 started posting here. I will concede that the Hoennbabbies were more annoying than the Sinnohfetuses ever were. So long as they stop clamoring for a remake I think the Sinnohfetuses can stay and do as they like.
>>
>>26616400
I got into pokemon in primary school with Blue, after Gen 3 I thought it was over it. A Platinum rom brought me back in. I have no idea why most people think this is a contrarian thought
>>
>>26616400
Also the fact that XY brought in a wave of normalfags from everywhere who were mainly nostalgiafags, the only people who think HGSS are good games.
>>
>>26616400
>Hoennbabbies were more annoying than the Sinnohfetuses
It's funny how people forget this.
Saying Hoennbabbies would get you banned back then too.
