The hoenn pokemon games just have an aura of dullness around them. I've always held this opinion, but even after gaining much apreciation for the games themselves i still doEvery aspect of the R/S/E, whether good or bad, is just kind of unisteresting (Including, in a general manner, the titles, the design, the story, the villains and even the corresponding season of the anime). This may be a very abstract description, but i associate the main gen 3 games with feeling lazy Am i the only one? I recognize them as good games, it's that they... i don't know Marked for deletion (Old)
>Am i the only one?No, but I'm a gen 1er
>>121047I feel like that's wrong, except for the music, but Hoenn is probably my favorite region overall.Also, getting shunted over to Dewford after Roxanne is super lame.I remember being impressed visually, but like, anything would have impressed me moving up from the GBC. I liked the retarded ecoterrorist plot (even if even back then, I wondered if they ever spent two fucking seconds in a science class), and I very much liked the crazy biomes the region had, a volcano area, a desert, a rainforest, all the sea routes, the city in the crater, etc.The Gen 3 Pokemon are my favorites, too, and not just because of how many of them I'd shove my whole dick into. ヽ(^Д^)ノSinnoh is arguably better, but everything about the Gen 4 games is a slow mess. I should really look into finding a hack that just makes the games faster, although I guess I could just use fast forward in an emulator. ┐(゚~゚)┌Gen 2 is my actual favorite to play though, even if Johto is a fairly boring region. I've probably replayed Gold like 16 times, and Crystal like 4. I can see Gen 3 feeling lazy coming off of G/S/C since Gen 2 absolutely feels like a direct upgrade (even if it isn't strictly one), while Gen 3 felt even at the time like it had gone back a bit (no day/night was some bullshit too, the game had a clock chip).
>I feel like that's wrong, except for the musicLike i said, it's a feeling i've always had. Like an aura of anti-coolness that isn't tied to the actual quality of the game. A lack of edge, sort ofFor reference, here's my assortment of the other classic pokemon generations, again, simply by feeling, and the vibes they give off to meGen 1: The pioneer. It just isGen 2: Homely, and cool in a subtle wayGen 4: Slick, but rough around the edgesGen 5: Modern and slick>I can see Gen 3 feeling lazy coming off of G/S/C since Gen 2 absolutely feels like a direct upgradeI didn't mean that gen 3 was lazy. I meant that i associate gen3 with feeling lazy
Gen 3 was the last good Pokemon generation, it went to shit after that (maybe not as much in Gen 4, but definitely in Gen 5)
i never bother with anything besides teh DS games, black and white pearl?? idk its name. best one i played was teh remake of teh original games to teh gameboy advance. Leaf green? idk
>>121095What's wrong with gen 5?B/W are good and B2/W2 are god-like, imo
>>121121- Dropping the japanese-like setting in favour of generic Big City, USA- Primitive 3d graphics. From the perspective of time the game somehow looks worse than the 2d games - Pokemon designs got worse, more simplified, less expresive and less creative (partially connected to the point about 3d graphics)- Difficulty is insultingly low
There are no hard pokemon games, though
pokemon sucks
>>121121BW's Pokemon designs are kinda not very good overall. I tolerate them all these years later, but back when the game came out, I wasn't happy.Unova is a giant circle with few branches. It feels like a massive step down after traversing Sinnoh.I dunno what >>121127 is going on with difficulty, it isn't really easier than gens 1/2/3 (which are all easy), and the graphics are just those of a DS game, the same kind of 3D as seen in gen 4 but better and with a higher framerate. Maybe it was confused with gen 6? That shit was easy to the point where I literally mashed A through the Elite Four and Champion without looking at my moves or swapping Pokemon, fuck that game.Plus, X and Y were so badly programmed that despite being ugly, they were one of the first 3DS games to not support stereo 3D everywhere in gameplay. Sure, it's a gimmick, but no one else fucked up so bad that they had to drop it as a feature (and god help the framerate in the places you could enable it).
