Diamonds are actually covered in flaws. A completely flawless diamond is a sign that it's a fake.

The surfing speed for starters.

Input lag in the underground.
Removed a fuck ton of shit from gen 3.
Went back to the VS. Seeker

>>26785605
Gen 4 had the best meta.
Gen 4 had the best remake.
Gen 4 had an okay 3rd version
Gen 4 had the absolute worst pair of main games in the series. Nothing else comes close to their sheer levels of awful. Dull, uninspired story, completely broken online, absolutely horrid Mon distribution, and barely any graphical improvements over gen 3 (even though it was a new console).

And I don't even need to say the worst problem, because it's so fucking glaring and ridiculous that everyone knows what it is.

I don't know it. I thoroughly enjoyed the main series games.

ftfy
Going from smooth 60fps to a 30 that drops in certain cities was inexcusable

Penguin.

Torterra is still my favorite starter overall.
But then again I'm a turtlefag and Blastoise is a close second.
>>
Folks, I've recently gotten back into Pokémon again and I've ordered a 3DS with OR that should arrive on tuesday.

I'd like to move all of my shit from Black to OR. What things should I wrap up first before dumping all my pokes in pokébank or whatever it's called?

Gen 4 meta was just as shit as the others.

infernape was the only decent fire type in the game

Torterra. Torterra is disturbingly underrated.

Samefagging cause I need intel

>>26788658
I like them all, while none are my favourite starter, they are my favourite starter trio. World turtle, Sun Wukong and Napoleon are great Pokémon to have.
Great types outside of another Fire/Fighting, though I don't think anything else would suit what it's based off of.
>>
>>26788658
Infernape all day. Favorite starter ever and my second favorite Pokemon in general, probably. He also fucked shit up back in the day.

i want to play competitive 4th gen again.
>>
>>26788658
Honestly I love them all, my favorite trio of starters since gen 1. Although if I had to scale

Torterra > Infernape > Empoleon

At worst they wouldn't have the Battle Frontier or Giratina plotline, I can't imagine them doing a 151 Pokémon dex after XY last gen.

SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
>>
>>26788508
are you talking about the battle speed?
>>
For me, Platinum is the best Pokemon game so far. I can understand if it isn't your favourite -- but if you don't consider Platinum in the top 3 of all Pokemon games, you're completely delusional.

Easily the best starter trio.

>>26789668
Right? It's probably the overall best designed trio so far. Even Infernape, who's my least favourite of the bunch, is still a great design. Every other gen has at least one that looks just plain ugly, or has a really uninspired design.

Mind you, GenVII's looking promising as far as starters go, even if I worry Popplio's final stage is going to drop the ball.

That's not Gen 6
