hi /vp/, never posted here before
The only pokemon games I've played are Blue, Yellow, Gold, and Fire Red. Pokemon Go is fun but lacks features such as trading and battling and got me interested in playing the games again. Are any of the pokemon games past Fire Red any good to play solo? I'm playing SoulSilver on an emulator currently, and having some fun, but a bit sad that I can't get a Gengar because I can't trade. I'm afraid the other games in the series will have even bigger roadblocks because I won't be able to trade or battle online

I lost interest shortly before they came out. Are they good?
any pokemon game is good to play solo
lack of online services in gen 4/5 that could potentially aid trade evolutions can be offset by numerous single player oriented romhacks that change stuff like evolution methods around

I think you mean Kanto

ARE YOU PLAYING PLATINUM YET?
>>27118208
I guess Platinum is pretty good. No need to play Diamond/Pearl, seeing how they're basically Platinum with less content.
>>27118229
I didn't feel like buying a DS because of nintendos tendency to release 50 versions of each of the handhelds

As I've said, I've never been to this board before and didn't feel like making yet another pokemon thread on /v/, so I can't really tell if this is a meme or not. Is Platinum good stuff?

Yes. Platinum is good. Very good.
Best of Gen4 is no doubt Heart Gold/Soul Silver, they're remakes of Gold and Silver. If you don't want to play a remake, the best would be Platinum
Best of Gen5 would be Black2/White2, though they're sequels to Black/white, if you have a friend with either of those you can get a few more features with a special link with them
Best of Gen6 is hard to say, as i think both X/Y and ORAS was pretty bland, but ORAS is a remake of RSE from Gen3, which you'd prefer relies on weather you want to play a remake or not
If you just want something to play, i'd go for either BW2 or HGSS, if you want to be able to cary your pokes from Gen3 to Sun/Moon when they come out, you'll have to have at least one Gen4 game and one Gen5 game, though you don't need Gen6 for it

Playtinum is the best game of gen 4.
Platinum is also the best game of gen 5.
We don't talk about gen 6.
>>27118286
Thanks. After reading this thread, I'll stick with SoulSilver since I already started it, and if I still have the hankering for some pokemon I'll move on to platinum next
Since you're emulating you might as well look into clean/fulldex romhacks.
They don't change anything in the games besides allowing you to get every single Pokemon up to and including the game's gen (if you get one for Platinum, you can get all Gen I through IV species, for example. A Unova romhack would give you access to everything Gen I~V)
Most of them replace trade evolutions for either level up or using a new item (Covenant Ore comes to mind)
As for the games, Plat should be high on your list once you finish HGSS, then you should move onto Black/White/2 but remember they're polarizing games for a reason

I dissagree
I played both platinum and HG at the same time, and i liked HG a lot better
Either way, it relies on weather he wants to play a remake or not, doesn't it?
Also, i think Gen5 had better pokemon and story than gen4

PLAY PLATINUM YOU FUCK

The best games in the series are the DS ones, though you can skip DP since Platinum is just plain better.
>>27118319
Platinum did it better.

>PLAY PLATINUM YOU FUCK
What's wrong with you? you're yelling at someone because they're not playing your favorite game?
Calm the fuck down, "you fuck"
>>27118344
How's your first day of 4chan treating you?
>>27118344
If you have time to talk to me on /vp/ then you have time to be playing Platinum
Get to it, idiot.

just because it's normal to act like a retard doesn't mean it's any less retarded
and i'm not new
>>27118370
he's decided to pick a different game, that's his choice. Why is it so important to you anyways?
>>27118188
>can't trade
You don't need to trade on an emulator, you can just edit your save file to turn your Haunter into a Gengar.
>>27118188
You've already played the tutorial. Why play it again?
