No popular "unpopular" opinions, faggots. Keep your memes to yourself. I'll start this off.

ORAS are better than RSE in every way.The Battle Frontier does not matter and has no value.

I prefer first/paired version to third versions.

The fact that Pokemon games only take baby steps of advancement between generations is a problem.

Ohmura is superior to Sugimori and I have glad he's replacing him.

I have yet to see one bad Pokemon design, opinion disregarded.

Rowlet's eyes are kind of weird and creepy and despite it being my new starter choice, it looks weird.

For one, Emerald didn't add unneeded exposition that slowed the pace of the game down, new areas that were actually worth a shit instead of just placements for legendary events that made very little sense, expanded on the safari zone, improved the overal AI and ingame teams, didn't butcher 90% of the soundtrack, just to name a few.

The only things ORAS has over Emerald is the DexNav and being able to fly to routes.

The Frontier is equally worthless with the Maison.

So being different makes it better? Emerald's are no fucking harder or more exciting. It's an in-game gym battle, jesus.

Good, that shit is stupid. The only reason Gen III had so many is because it was the new feature and they wanted to force it down our asses.

Give me actual evidence of this other than M-MUH EXP SHARE and M-MUH MEGAS. You can't compare apples to oranges. Play ORAS and RSE back to back while only using the preserved features from RSE and it's no easier or harder. You probably just remember it being hard because you were a dumb little underaged shit.

I'm now convinced this thread was a shitpost. Or you didnt play Emerald. Either way I legitimately dont beleive someone can have these opinions and think they are the majority. Or maybe you know you arent.

>Play ORAS and RSE back to back while only using the preserved features from RSE and it's no easier or harder

I did. I played Emerald for the first time and played ORAS directly after. Emerald is harder. I dont even remember my E4 experience in ORAS but Emerald's was fucking awesme. I remember losing to Wallace with one pokemon left to beat and how fun that was.

The gym leaders had higher leveled pokemon in the first half of the game too. And Emerald doesnt give you Megas. Which I never used anyways, besides Mega Altaria. And never for gym battles. Also, Tate and Lisa.

>Emerald's are no fucking harder or more exciting
Tate and Liza had more than two pokemon that could be taken down by one move in Emerald.

>Good, that shit is stupid
nigga.....SHIT taste.

Either way, most of them were optional, meaning multiple ways to approach a battle, plus more choice given to the player. Even if you dislike them, still a positive.

>RSE didn't even HAVE a fucking story
They have the same story as ORAS, but without the Megas. Like I said, ORAS has better characters, but the clash between the legendaries was nice. If anti climactic as hell. Still, it didnt have Delta Episode, so that's a plus. Because that was shit.

>Good taste

Totodile evolves into one of the ugliest pokemon in the game.

I like HGSS's Goldenrod City theme.

Contests were never good.

Chespin is the best looking starter out of all the gens.

I think Umbreon is the worst eeveeloution.

M-Ampharos is one of the best looking megas.

I don't care if the rival isn't an asshole and Blue is heavily overrated.

Flannery is one of the worst gym leaders.

Litten is the worst gen 7 starter, but isn't bad, just a little too basic.

The MD games are better than the mainline games.

Battle facilities aren't fun because every opponent has perfect pokemon.

The old Safari Zone sucked and I hope the Friend Safari continues to replace it.

HG/SS are pretty lame, while they have some nice features they're absolutely fucked by not improving on all the faults of the originals.

Yokai Watch games has potential to surpass Pokemon in a few years, provided that they continue to improve with each game (so far so good) and Level 5 does not drop it for the next big thing too soon.

PMD were cool at first, but now they're just as much of a rehash as the mainline games. Their stories are good only in comparison with other Pokemon games.

Having too many Pokemon in a single game can be a bad thing - see XY where encounter rates for some species were absolutely awful due to not too few areas to spread them through.

Mega evolutions are bad and I keep erasing them from my memory, only to be reminded of them while browsing /vp/.

>ACTUALLY unpopular opinions

GB Sounds is overrated. It's a great concept but the execution is utter trash, it's not actually the GSC OST, it's just chiptune instruments in a MIDI, if you compare GSC to GB Sounds it's noticeable within seconds. If given a choice between the mediocre HGSS remixes and this horrible excuse for the GSC soundtrack I'll pick the HGSS remixes.

BW2's handholding at the start of the game is just as bad as XY's handholding if not worse. The game handles it slightly better XY by eventually laying off but holy shit is it bad at the start, makes the new area of Unova unenjoyable.

Roaming Legendaries (the Gen II-IV ones, not the XY ones that eventually roost) are good and should come back.

The Safari Zone is great and should come back, and it's a colossal sin for ORAS to cut it out and put a regular route in its place. The fact that this is actually an unpopular opinion and not one of the popular-unpopular opinions people post in these threads saddens me, the Friend Safari isn't even fucking special you just go into a patch of grass and catch things normally, there's no contest aspect to it like the Bug-Catching Contest or anything why do people like it it's just normal wild battles I don't understand.

>>
Following pokemon is unbelievably overrated. If it ever returns, and I hope it doesn't, I pray it's optional. /vp/ complains about OCs with dumb traits all the time. Well, the only thing more Mary Sue than following pokemon is talking to pokemon.

Speaking of which, N was stupid. At least BW2 redeemed team Plasma. I cannot fathom why N is so goddamn popular.

I don't have an issue with Exp. Share. People who are so mad about it should just turn it off. It worked great in XY because of how many pokemon there were to catch in the wild. It made switching your line up a hell of a lot more convenient.

Difficulty Settings in a pokemon game aren't needed. Trainers and Gym Leaders do, however, need more than a team of 3. That is ridiculous.

Didn't care that Battle Frontier wasn't in ORAS. It sucked to have to do Maison again but oh well.

3D models are fine. No, we should not switch back to sprites.

3D models being reused is also fine. There is no reason to remodel 720+ pokemon for a new generation. Reusing the old ones means we get more new mon and megas.

Syncro/Synergy seems dumb but I am willing to see where it goes. I was anti Mega when it was announced but it turned out ok.

I liked more than half of Gen 4's cross-gens and wouldn't mind seeing more of those or new split evos.

Sinnoh was a great region. Up there with Johto and Unova, imo.

Trade evos and version exclusives aren't shill tactics. They are social tactics. If you can't use /wfg/ or F R I E N D S to get those pokemon, you're only hurting yourself.

I hope we get something like Underground in a future game. Racing would be super fun too.

Safari Zone and Friend Safari are great. I would love to have both available in the game.

Cynthia is one of the best champions and NPC in the series. She isn't a random encounter at the end, she shows up during the plot, and does more than sit around waiting for a battle.

I'd rather see balancing of the current types before new ones are ever introduced.

>>26654082
>Unpopular Opinions
I didn't like Gen V comming from Gen IV, because I thought Gen V had no atmosphere, and felt sort of like a Level-5 game in that respect (like LBX or Yokai-watch), which was hard for me coming off of D/P's sombre and melancholic atmosphere throughout the game. Also thought the pokemon design was meh a lot of the time in regards to the fillermons, which tend to be my favorites (e.g., Drifblim>Jellicent). I also thought the story was pretty shit despite it's being shoved down our throats; if it were adapted into an anime/movie/etc without pokemon (but with suspiciously-similar replacements), for example, only bulking it up with more writing like what we got within the game itself, it'd be pretty poorly received.
I also feel like RPGs in general are just excuses to play as anime characters/pokemon/whatever and as vehicles for art and story, and that they would be much better without the RPG elements, whether that be through exclusion of gameplay in general in favor of an anime series or something (in the case of games like Final Fantasy) or in alternative styles of gameplay like third-person hack 'n slash or fighting games (for games like Pokemon). Pokemon is better than most RPGs, but I've still never had fun within the battles themselves unless I'm finding out how much ass a newly-aquired mon kicks or I manage to pull around an important battle from the brink of defeat (although I'm pretty sure both of those feelings'd still come up from time to time regardless of genera)

I think Popplio is legitimately adorable--even more than Rowlet is.

I think Infernape is better than Blaziken in every way except--unfortunately--competitively.

I like playing through XY and ORAS the best right now because they're the most recent games and I tend to find newer games more enjoyable. I feel like this shouldn't be an unpopular opinion, but it always seems like it is. Replaying older games is tedious for different reasons, and I'm sure more parts of XYORAS will feel tedious to me after SM comes out.

Because it's not even anything special? I mean yeah, we don't see too many trainers who keep their PokƩmon out of their PokƩballs, but that's because Game Freak is too lazy to make more than a few overworld models for PokƩmon per game outside HGSS.

Is Lyra a Mary Sue for carring her Marill out of its ball?

Are all the trainers in Amity Square Mary Sues?

Is Jasmine a Mary Sue? She lets her Ampharos out of its ball.

Oh shit! Even Lance had his Dragonite out of its ball that one time in Mahogany! Is he a Mary Sue?

Is the trainer in Celadon who let his Poliwrath out of his ball a Mary Sue, or the Slowpoke trainer in Cerulean?

"He lets his PokƩmon out of its PokƩball sometimes? That's completely unheard of! It' almost the same as having psychic powers and being able to talk with PokƩmon!"

The entire cast of PokƩmon Adventures must be Mary Sues, they sometimes let their PokƩmon outside! I mean some of them are here or there but you get what I mean


We don't "need" following PokƩmon in a game, you're right. Not having following PokƩmon doesn't kill a game. And it's a completely subjective opinion to not like following PokƩmon, you're right. However, you are completely wrong in your use of the word Mary Sue, having your PokƩmon follow you is a completely mundane feature that any trainer in the franchise would be able to do in-universe.


Like fuck, you could bring up that all the protagonists in the series stop an organized crime group singlehandedly, or how they meet highly powerful Legendaries, or even the fact that you seem to be the only trainer who can complete the PokƩdex in each game, with any actions of past player characters also completing the PokƩdex seemingly erased. To fixate on having a PokƩmon outside of its ball out of all the things in the franchise that are much bigger oddities is retarded, and you are also retarded.

I don't see anything wrong with linearity in a Pokemon map. RSE/ORAS, DPPt, and XY were all linear in progression--the maps were just not as linear as BW's. I don't think there's really any difference in practice.

It does actually. It was retarded and simple, but it was a story. The way they tried to expand it then added 20 mins of exposition at the end was stupid.

>There's a big diference

The only "diference" is that, as the MC, you're always around when you play the game, while Jasmine and Lance only pop in for a short period in the game.

Tell me, should we remove customization not that I'm a fan of it, male customization sucked because nobody else in the franchise ever changes clothes (with exceptions like Elesa, Elesa is SUCH a fucking Mary Sue how dare she)?

Should we remove Megas just because they're rare and you're one of the few trainers in XYORAS to have them, the others being the Mary Sue big bad, the Mary Sue champion, and your Mary Sue rival?

Should we remove all the starter PokƩmon from the franchise? Nobody ever seems to use them besides you and your rival(s), and you can't catch them in the wild.

Hell, at this rate, let's reduce the number of party PokƩmon you can have because Gym Leaders never have more than three PokƩmon in modern PokƩmon games, and to carry more than the Gym Leaders is a fucking Mary Sue trait. We should make it so you can't battle the Gym Leaders either, because it seems you and your rivals are the only ones who ever bother.


I could go on, but I'm sure you'll say "all those things are different!" and handwave it away.

>>26657914
I always thought she was in charge of the lighthouse, made it seem like she'd own the PokƩmon that powered it. I'll take your word though, my bad, all the other examples still count though, including the Lance one because if he weren't a Mary Sue they'd just have him shove the trainer to the side instead of giving him a special snowflake overworld PokƩmon.

Mary Sue has become a meaningless word for Youtube Cartoon reviewers and TVTropes browsers to throw at random things in an effort to sound smart.

Saying it's a "Mary Sue trait" is entirely meaningless and makes no sense.
>>
The only actually good thing about this franchise is the Pokemon themselves.

The excuse that "Game Freak is polishing the formula" to justify the minimal changes between each game is total bullshit. If that were the case, there would be a clearly visible evolution in the way the game plays. The only real differences between D/P and X/Y outside of graphics are Fairy type, off-grid movement, and character customization.

At least 90% of the time, shiny PokƩmon aren't worth the immense trouble necessary to obtain them.

All of the new Gen 7 mons have been unanimously disappointing, Popplio and Ć¼ber-Pyroar especially.
>>
>>26658159
Mary Sue isn't meaningless, but Sue-ness is relative. You can't simply claim that a trait is one of a Mary Sue without giving why and what it is relation to.
The only exceptions to this are citations of writing that include allegedly neutral, observational material that attempt to choose your emotions and preferences.

Let's again remind you we are in an unpopular opinion thread
Let's again remind you that opinions are personal preferences
Let's again remind you that just because someone has a different opinion than you or one you disagree with does not make them wrong
Let's again remind you that the above statement is something 5 year olds have come to terms with.

Alright then, can you explain how it's remotely Mary Sue then, since you're supposedly a different person?

Tropes and cliches cannot be used to describe something they are not.

If I said Mew can learn Crabhammer I would be objectively wrong, it's not something I can brush off as being an opinion. You saying it's Mary Sue to do something mundane that any and all trainers can do is wrong, you are using the term wrong, it is not at all like you describe.

Of course Gen V had more worse Pokemon--it had the most Pokemon introduced. Only one Pokemon can be the best, so every other Pokemon is worse; therefore, it has the most worse Pokemon at 155 worse Pokemon than the 1 best. Gen I is a close second with 150 worse Pokemon and 1 best.

I've been giving out examples of NPCs who have PokƩmon follow them and examples of much bigger ways the player character is unique that would be far more prevalent in determining whether they're a "Mary Sue."

All you've been saying is "it's an opinion that means I can't be wrong" even though you are using a defined term incorrectly.

As I said, it's an acceptable opinion to not like following PokƩmon even though you have shit taste, but you're using a word blatantly wrong, which is what sparked the derail. And the only reason I've written such long textwalls is because you told me I had couldn't give justification, so I gave justification, which you haven't even tried to address other than Jasmine being a bad example.

as the other guy in the argument against OH MY GOD KILL (if you dont believe me, look to pic related), im personally offended that you dare compare anyone to that steaming pile of shit for something so trivial.

Especially when you're fucking wrong, dipshit. Mary Sue is a title given ONLY to characters who break their universes by being too good, too loved, and in general making everything out of whack.

Having their Pokemon outside of their Pokeball while not in battle is not a trait that breaks the fucking universe as we know it. It's just something we as a player can't do. Even if Mary Sues often have their Pokemon out, that doesnt mean their Pokemon being out is a trait that makes them that way.

Go fuck yourself.

I'd dare say I see more OMGK in the guy I replied to. He refuses to concede anywhere, even when he's been proven wrong handily.
He also has a warped idea of his main argument- like how OMGK doesnt know the first thing about honor and how most honorbound societies treat forfeiters, he doesn't know shit about Mary Suedom and probably heard it on DeviantArt and now spouts it to sound "in".

I wouldnt say he's the same, but he should be looking in a mirror before he throws around shit like that.

Not at all. The Anon who originally stated to dislike following pokƩmon stated an opinion. The other person who replied to that original Anon was butt hurt about someone disliking what he liked.

This is how it should have gone:
1. Following pokƩmon sucks. It's Mary Sue.
2. I like following pokƩmon and disagree with you calling it Mary Sue.
1. It's an unpopular opinion thread. You can like it. I don't.
2. Fine. I still don't think it's Mary Sue.

But no, anon2 went and derailed the whole thread because "shit taste" (something he actually said.)
>>
>>26660573
He didnt say "I think it's mary sue," (an opinion), he said "The only thing more Mary Sue than following PokƩmon is talking to PokƩmon." A statement. Of percieved fact.

The label Mary Sue carries a connotation that the character OBJECTIVELY breaks the universe in their favor. The latter is an actual Mary Sue trait, since in the world of Pokemon communication with all but a select few PokƩmon shouldn't be possible. The former is possible, and has existed in the games before, but Game Freak has refused to add it back in (likely out of laziness).

What I will accept as opinion is the statement that "If [following PokƩmon] ever come back (and I hope it doesn't) I hope it's optional." THAT is an opinion, and though I dont agree with him he can go on having it.

It's the latter statement in that paragraph, and especially the attempt to discredit his (retarded, but uniquesly so) opponent by comparing him to the dumbest person I've ever met is what's grinding my gears.

Leave the Mary Sue shit out of this. The second guy was a complete autist for attacking opinions. In an opinion thread.

OMGK was the a special kind of awful but it doesn't mean you need to let it haunt you. The fact he still grinds your gears (as justified as it is) means he's winning. Don't let him win.

Gen 3 music had the most impact. Wasn't the best, but the most memorable.

Fairy type should not have been added or should not have been as powerful as it is. Hoping for a nerf in Sun/Moon.

Garbodor is great, but Vanillite is shit.

Gen 2 Pokemon are the worst. (Gen 2 brought some great changes to Pokemon, though not as good as the Physical/Special split).

I don't mind HMs and I don't mind games that require a lot of HMs. I never had a problem with Defog in gen IV because it's not like my Staraptor was using Growl anyway.

Garchomp is a better design than Flygon. "Edginess" is a meaningless buzzword that has no bearing on a design.

You can't ban Protean Greninja or Speed Boost Blaziken because that would bring into question the tiering of every single Pokemon set. Arceus for OU as long as it doesn't carry Extreme Speed, Scizor for UU if it has Swarm, Whimsicott for NU if it has Chlorophyll. It does not work. You tier a Pokemon based on its best set, you don't take its other, shittier sets into consideration.

Emerald Battle Frontier is the best post game in any gen, and the contests were actually fun.

>In an unpopular opinion thread.

Being wrong is not an opinion. Up is down is not an opinion. Five plus five equals negative seven is not an opinion.

You don't get to be wrong and hide it behind the wall of "Well that's just, like, my opinion man."

You used a term you don't understand, and you used it incorrectly. You could have just admitted that was wrong and said you still find Following Pokemon a shitty feature. Because I can agree with that somewhat. I don't think it's shitty, but it is completely pointless. Would it be nice? Sure, I don't care, maybe it would be. But it's a feature that adds so fucking little that it doesn't deserve the amount of dickriding it gets from people who consider a generation to be a blunder just because they can't turn around, press A, and have :D appear on their screen with a "PenisInVagoo is feeling happy!" in a text box.

I don't really dislike any Pokemon. Even some of the ones I've been iffy on have proven to be bros in alternate playthroughs with them or in Tabletop situations.

I do however like a lot of unevolved Pokemon more than their evolutions, like Wartortle, Tangela, Pumpkaboo, Helioptile (by a smidge), etc.

It sometimes makes it hard to evolve them.

Also for as bullshit as it was, I miss having things like honey trees scattered across the region to check. I don't mind having berries consolidated because that can be a bitch to check on every few hours to water, but hidden grottos and honey trees to check in on was a fun way to go backtrack as a breather from grinding or journeying.

Not really sure if it's unpopular, but Gen 2 made me hate Kanto. Cinnabar Island, The Seafoam Islands and the south Fuchsia beach were some of my favorite places in Gen 1. Downsizing Kanto was fine but losing that to a canonized "the volcano fucked everything up" hurt.

Also fuck the asshole that decided to rip up the Pokemon Tower to put in a Radio Tower. I wish they added spooky things to that part in HGSS to show them pissing off the spirits since that's probably worse than what Team Rocket did in the tower.

Gen VI is my favorite generation and XY are my favorite Pokemon games. I love pretty much all the new additions that these games brought and I feel like /vp/ is just full of contrarians because the games were very well received practically everywhere outside of this board. Gen VI is the most fun I've had with Pokemon since Gen II and I'm expecting Gen VII to be even better.

You answered your own question.

I do want more challenging battles, but the Frontier provides more than challenging battles, it provides special battle types you can't get elsewhere in the game (not counting Battle Tents), or the entire main series for some facilities. There are no replacements for the Pike, or Arena, or Pyramid (besides PMD but the gameplay is still not fully identical). The Factory is only in Platinum and HGSS outside Emerald and the Dome kind of has a similarity in the PWT but with no "take 3 use 2" gimmick.

Mystery Dungeon is a terrible dungeon crawler that lets plot get in the way of gameplay.

Pokken should've been a pure 3D fighter. That 2D transitioning bullshit just ruins the pacing.

Edgy hacks like Reborn and Snakewood are more fun than vanilla hacks that just ramp up the difficulty.

I like the idea of future gens having less and less new pokemon.

Instead of making new pokemon just for the hell of it, they should overhaul pre-existing pokemon with alternate forms and reasonably redistributed stats.

I'm not saying they should make a new region with no new mons, but I wouldn't mind if Alola only had 50 new mons. So long as we're not stuck with 10 of those 50 being legendaries.

ORAS was so bad that it made me appreciate Kalos more.

Battle Frontier, Battle Facility and all those similar features are awful. The only one I remember sort of enjoying is the Battle Subway, but even then I wasn't particularly excited by it. The fact that there's no real reward coming from it unless you want an item from the BP shops makes me not care for them at all.

Pretty much anything from the main game that tries to emulate competitive play is shitty. If I want to play competitively, then I'm playing online with real people.
