Lacunosa.
yep, basically OP's
>>26903271
My absolute, blood-related, kindred spirit nigga.

Lacunosa has cool lore, dynamic NPCs who actually go indoors at night, great music, great surrounding routes, a nice clean aesthetic, and good use of elevation and city layout (like Accumula).

>Kanto
Cerulean City, comfy with lots of trainers to battle and areas to explore on the outskirts, also the gym is a swimming pool.
>Johto
Olivine City had a nice seaside aesthetic and the Battle Tower in Crystal, close to Moomoo Farm
>Hoenn
New Mauville, shopping arcades are cool and there's a ton of lore
>Sinnoh
Sunnyshore City, I jut think it has a nice ambiance, although Hearthome and Snowpoint don't fall too far behind.
>Unova
Icirrus in BW, Aspertia in 2.

Snowbelle is one of the few Kalos cities I liked.

New Mauville is already a site in both Hoenn games you know.
Call it Mallville or something.

There's a place called New Mauville. Still good taste.
>>26903252

>>26904709
The first city to feel like a City was Goldenrod for me. In HGSS its actually fairly large, with a lot of attractions.
It has a lot of vertical movement which helps a place feel real for me. You can go underground with the Goldenrod Tunnel, Department Store Basement and Team Rocket Hideout. You can go up with the Radio Tower and Department Store. Love it.
C O M F Y
I think I'd have to go with Olivine, I can go to kanto, the gym leader is a bae, the ocean is right there. Theres just a lot going on outside of the town.
>>26905765
To add on, for Kanto: Fuchsia or Celedon. Fuchia because, its next to an ocean, has the safari zone, and Janine is pretty cute. Celedon because Erika a cute, and big city.
Gen 2 is Olivine
Gen 3, its harder because a lot of the towns and cities have their own upsides but Fortree cuz tree houses.
Gen 4, same as gen 3, but Snowpoint for having a cute gym leader.
Gen 5, harder to say because there's a lot of good places but Virbank or starting town for bw 1.
Gen 6, their all pretty shit.

First time ive heard i got top taste m8. I think I have a thing for forehead girls, Jasmine is all forehead while Candice is a little bit on the forehead. Erika and Jasmine just seem like they would be the best for wifing, Candice would be nice because she feels like she would be all about having fun and being explosive. Any thoughts on Gardinia? She's also in my top list of poke girls.
Driftveil, entirely because of the music:

>>26906011
Gardenia is probably my favorite Sinnoh Pokegirl, and third overall, just behind Roxanne (2nd) and Hilda (eternal waifu).
>>26906079
Oh snap, Roxanne is bae af, Hilda pretty good too, but Mae is better imo lol. But you got pretty good taste anon.
>>26903252
The HG/SS art-style and graphics are perfect and unbeatable, imo.
Lots of neat pictures in this thread btw, good idea OP and gj anons.
also the marine tube is pretty comfy
>>26903905
I love comfy slice-of-life scenes like this
>>26905708
It was the first Pokemon city that made me say "wow" as a kid. Going into the farmer's market blew my easily impressionable mind, as well as the whole beach and the soda pop stop.
However, the remake of the song in ORAS makes me want to blow my fucking brains out. Well, only the first few seconds, but it's still bad.

I really liked Castelia City, that one area with the Eevee garden cemented it as one of my favorite cities in the series.Not comfy opinion coming through, it honestly amazes me that they were able to come off of all the things BW2 did right and make XY. Lumiose is so awful.

Who would have thought?
>>26903252
In Unova?
It's Driftveil City.
In all honesty, I've NEVER been to Johto, and I only ever got up to Cerulean City in Kanto on an emulated Red.
I really want to explore both regions, but I'm afraid of replacing my bros in the Gen VI games. And yes, I know that's autistic.
>>26908399
It's extremely autistic. Just play HG/SS. Even as a Gen V faggot, I find those to be the second-most enjoyable games in the series, and the comfiest by a large margin.
>>26908277
Lumiose has nothing on Castelia, and I dont really like either that much, BW,2 were way better than X/Y tho.
>>26908408
This. Gen Four is objectivley the best gen. Play it faggot, you gurantee you you won't regret it.
Why is Lumiose such a disappointment? I can't really put my finger on it. I loved Castelia, but hated Lumiose...
>>26908433
Lumiose felt kind of dead.
Castelia had people constantly walking around and talking in the bustling streets. There was also a lot more going on there.
Half of Lumiose is also closed off until you get past the 4th gym, which is retarded.
>>26908433
Lumious had everything cut off, castelia was open . At least that my take.
>>26908408
I'll consider it. I've been thinking of collecting the DS games anyway.
>>26908421
Agreed.
Had Platinum for around 5 years before giving it to my second cousin.

Fuck Lumiose.
>>26903629
Actually this is pretty good.
After slogging through random wild pokemon you come across a town that gives you a free useful pokemon, the ability to fly freely, a casino and more moves. It makes you feel like you're a big city slicker.

Gen IV/V, despite the rough start with DP, were overall the solidest grouping of games in the series. The DS games did a goddamn ridiculous amount of things right.
>The best third entry in the series with Platinum
>The best remakes with HGSS
>An excellent pseudo-reboot with BW
>Possibly the most well-rounded game with B2W2
I personally enjoy BW the most of those four, but I thoroughly love all the DS games. It was a damn good era, one that brought to mind the overall quality of the Game Boy era, and the 3DS era is letting me down so far.
>>26908486
As a kid, I had a tree picked out for a tree house, I was all autistic about it, told my dad and he said he could. 10 years later that tree is still baron. Maybe it signifies my childhood being dead with how my dad would tell me things that were just never gonna happen, cant fault him tho, single dad life owing your own business cant be easy. Man I just made myself depressed...
>>26908531
Barren, friend. The tree is not nobility.
>>26908477
Wait really? How have I not seen this? Also why do the game not feel like this at all?
>>26908520
Same anon here, BW are enjoyable but BW2 were just an improvement overall, if the seuals didnt exist, I'd love Gen 5 prolly right behind gen 2, my favorite btw. But Gen 5 did take awhile to get used to.
>>26908535
Sorry man, im a bit drunk, ill be sure to remember for the future tho thx.
>>26908543
Personally, as someone who had been with the series since Gen 1, I found BW so amazingly refreshing that it reignited my love for the series which had, up to that point, been growing stale. The love, that is, not the series. A Regional Dex comprised ENTIRELY of new Pokemon, nearly all of which appealed to me. I know it's a subjective thing, but apart from perhaps some of the early mons, I love almost every Gen V design. The slightly more mature tone it took and the more story-focused nature of the plot also appealed to me, as an older Pokemon fan.
I of course understand BW isn't for everyone, and I even accept that B2W2 are objectively better polished, but BW hold a special place in my heart and will probably always be my favorite games in the series.
>>26908520
Anon from >>26908399
I thought BW was a massive departure from the series as it stood, what with them being a pseudo-remakeAnd it being my first legit playthrough after bullshitting my way through Platinum with an action replay, I was horribly unconfident in myself OK?, but I thought it had a better story than BW2, mainly due to the former establishing the story opposed to the latter just building off it.
But overall, I still think that BW were something of an awkward transition era between the DS and 3DS systems. a Pokemon puberty, if you will.
>>26908571
The Pokédex was the best part for me.
>>26908606
I find that ironic, since Gen 6 seems to be the generation that doesn't know what to do with itself. Does it want to do something new with Fairties and Megas? Does it want to appeal to nostalgia or feel like a full loop with the MULTIPLE Gen 1 references? Does it want to be uninspired cash-in garbage with ORAS? Is it going to make a mature story with Lysandre and Pokemon genocide? Is it going to be childish with the friends? It contradicts its own tone and theme so much that it comes across as haphazard, loosely sewn together. A bunch of ideas that don't quite mesh. For that reason, it fails to be memorable on the whole, despite a number of singular memorable moments.
>>26908644

Fairties anon here. Perfectly sober, just a failure at proofreading before hitting post.
>>26908606 same anon form here
I will say that BW was a transition era too, it was pretty good, but to me personally, BW2 just seem more complete, I love all the
pokemon more so than the gen 5 pokemon, so getting that chance to play with them was great. So i guess that BW2 was for those still wanting the older and the newer pokemon more was BW2 while those ok with leaving them behind was BW. It's a great discussion tho anon.
>>26908656
I get drunk everyday so I cant say, because my life sucks. >>26908550
Same anon
>>26908644
I can see that. But Gen VI seems memorable not for its story or lore, but for its additions to game mechanics, namely Mega Evolution. It sort of says, "Here's what the Pokemon series can do on the new hardware." In retrospect, I'm thinking it acted as sort of a foundation for Gen VII, or at least I hope it will, anyway. Sort of like DP were for the DS.
BW, however, felt like huge alteration to a groove that the games had established. Completely new Pokedex with no earlier pokemon present, relatively darker environments compared to the past games - as far as I remember it anyway, maybe because of the seasons system - and a generally less comfortable setting. It just felt like too much of a departure.
BW2 helped this a bit by reintroducing old Pokemon, but it felt like something of an expansion pack versus a remake of the previous two versions.
>>26908699
You life doesn't have to suck anon. You can still make your own decisions, shitty or good, and make a cool adventure of it.
Good or bad you still have a future that belongs only to you! Believe it! You can be the champ! Not the champ actually but you can have a relevant and coherent life
>>26908808
I'm sure I can, but for now Ill just play pokemon, watch anime and work. Once I get money Ill get my life going how I want, but desu for the speech lol!
>>26903905
What the fuck is up with that Pikachu?
>>26908784
I rather liked the newness introduced in Gen V. I find it rather incredible that the one single generation that introduced essentially nothing big mechanically managed to feel singularly unique in a way no other games before or after them were. It wasn't just "Pokemon: Now With New Feature;" it was "Pokemon: Reloaded." Virtually identical on a mechanical level to gen IV, not all that different graphically, but ENTIRELY different at a base level. As I said before, I found it refreshing, and I liked the changes. Others may not have, and that's likely why Gen V is such a point of contention on this board.
I also hope, by the way, that Gen VI serves as the DP to Gen VII's Platinum. It's not as though it was a BAD set of games-- it was just an extremely weak set of entries in a great series with far too much wasted potential.
>>26908433
You're an unovabortion, it's as simple as that
Both were terrible
>>26908904
Hey, were trying to have nice thread her, like discussing why ONE might think the other is bad while one is better. Please contribute an argument or leave.
>>26908863
Agreed on all accounts. It's just that massive feeling of difference between itself and the last Gen that made BW so unique. It was an entirely new level in what the Pokemon series could accomplish in both its environments, story, and general aesthetic. But that level of unfamiliarity is what made me avoid it at first, and probably what made it so controversial on the board.
By that same token, Gen VI could be considered Gen V's opposite, in a way. Kalos' regional pokedex is absolutely MASSIVE, the biggest one to date. It also had an equally big impact mechanically, what with new breeding mechanics, the fairy type, and Megas. Aesthetically, however, all it did was update sprites to models, and added a camera for cutscenes. X and Y were huge improvements to the series, but didn't really put on much of a show. Again, it just was like, "Look! Pokemon in 3D!" - which is by no means a bad thing, I mean, take a look at Pokemon Stadium - it just didn't have a lot of stuff to present other than mechanics.
>>26909086
Couldn't agree more with you, BW was too diffrent at the time, but over time it grew on me, XY were to large scope for me to play for long, it just showed me thing I'd either seen, in stadium or new things that were present in ORAS, which just got boring with no rematch or BF. >>26908520

Fuck me. I didn't think /vp/ was capable of it. Good on you.
>>26910090
Well, how about yourself? What's your favorite gen and why?
>>26910173
Probably gen 2 for a combination of nostalgia and appreciation of its speed. Shit moves fast in gen 2, not a lot of extraneous nonsense. Plus, if I'm really on a time crunch, I can emulate it at like 400% speed. Don't always have the time for long sit-downs.
Also I fucking love Heracross.
>>26910227
Anon from >>26910173 and>>26908399
Honest question: How is Gen II fast? Does it not have much of a story or something?
>>26910349
It's fast mechanically. Quick battle transitions, quick text, quick attack animations. Not a lot of fluff, thanks to the technical limitations. It doesn't waste my time and leave me impatient. And yes, not a lot of story compared to something like gen 6, either.
>>26908228
But it's actually great. It's not like HGSS, where most of the remastered music was butchered.
>>26910475
Cool. Looking forward to getting it even more now.
