...how do you figure it's the "same" when the only thing that is the same is the region that it takes place in, itself drastically revamped? This isn't like a third version where the storyline was changed slightly and a battle frontier stuck in. Also, pretty sure Gen 1 had FOUR games, yellow the only of which being drastically different and even then not by that much, and yet that's apparently the "best" gen to most people  |

| I'm definitely looking forward to B2&W2, though i'll be getting Black2. My fiancee on the other hand will be getting White 2. Personally I think the new protagonists look better than Hilda and Hilbert. But their rival just looks strange. :\ However I am disappointed that it's not being released on the 3DS, but it wouldn't be the first time they did this. :V And since this is the General Pokemon thread, i'll go ahead and say it my favorite generation is definitely Gen I, then Gen II, Gen III, GenV, and finally GenIV. (Personally GenIV wasn't that great because the framerate was so slow. x.X) |

Post #4741 · 05-09-12 02:39:53 AM So, how the shit do you get to Palette Town in Soul Silver? I've beaten all the gyms except Cinnabar, Pewter and Viridian because I can't reach them. The route west from Cerulean is blocked by cliffs, south from Fuchsia by construction, and west from the Victory Road building by some jerk who won't let me through.____________________ |

Comparing generations can be a tricky thing. Every game added something, not just talking pokemon creatures, but I'm talking about features.
Daycare/Breeding/Berries for Gen 2 BattleTower/Contest for Gen 3 PokeTeck/PalPark for Gen 4 DreamWorld/Wifi features for Gen 5 Obviously Gen 1 started the craze and will always hold a more special place in my gaming heart since it sparked the Gotta Catch em All fever that has lasted for a decade+ But I sincerely cannot rank the gens that easily. From a pure "time played" standpoint Diamond dominates all other games since I spent so much time on it getting all previous Gens into it. Interestingly enough, for Black 75% of time spent playing was doing that arrow shooting mini game to get 6 older gen pokemon at a time. I've never cared for the story in any of the games, so that's a wash. ____________________ Visit Digital Space for my game news. |

Originally posted by Raven I'm not. Maybe I just don't like the series anymore... but this series has gone way downhill in my opinion. Gen 1 and 2 were the best, and I enjoyed Gen 3. Gen 4 was a little much, but it was redeeming in some ways. But Gen V has basically killed me as a fan. I just don't see what's so great about it. I honestly think the games have been getting worse every time they are released. I can't even begin to tell you how depressed rotation battles make me. ____________________ What Would Leggy Do? |

Originally posted by AlexARI believe the battle tower was actually added in Crystal, and daycare (no breeding) was in Gen 1. On a battle mechanics note, there were also the new types and the desperately needed special stat split in Gen 2, abilities and natures in 3... I'm trying to think of what 4 and 5 added to battle mechanics, but I'm coming up blank. These aren't as easily noticed as things like Contests, but they do have a significant impact. There's also double, triple, and rotation battles, but double are the only special ones worth a damn IMO... ____________________ Cordilon - Minecraft RP, and several other games too |

Originally posted by Reshiram This makes perfect sense. Rather than hate the roots of the series, those were the games I found most enjoyable. I hate the direction it's taking. It may be "evolving" but I think ironically the steps forward take the series itself backwards. I'm not even 100% sure what has changed my mind. I find blue and red about a million times more fun than Black and White were. Not to say they were horrid games, it's just confusing what's so different that I can't bring myself to enjoy them. ____________________ What Would Leggy Do? |

Originally posted by Reshiram I'm like that sort of. I grew up as a huge fan of the originals on the Genesis. The Genesis was my system from the age of 3-6 (when I got an N64). I continued playing the Genesis from time to time though. And Sonic was my favorite by far. The only "new" games I've really liked in that series were Generations and Adventure Series. Originally posted by Reshiram That irritates me more than anything. I don't get the "true fan" argument. If you like a game, you like it. If you don't, you do not. If you like the old games, then you are a fan of the old series. If you are a fan of the new games, you are a fan of the new series. If you like both, then you are a fan of both. It's not a problem, you just have a different taste. I think true fans are the ones who shut up and play the games. Rather than complain about how the new games have gone downhill or the old games sucked.
Originally posted by Reshiram I've actually played a really healthy amount of hacks. I find them almost all the time, and find some generally interesting ones. Some I play... are just terrible, but that's the joy of playing the hacks. They won't all be gems. One of my favorites has to be Brown honestly. Originally posted by Reshiram I like some of the side games in the series. Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Channel, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, etc... I just like Pokemon games as a whole. I've always been a huge fan of the series (up until a few years ago) and have come to appreciate how far it's come. I pretty much grew up with the series, so it's nice to see it still around, even if I don't really care for Black or White, et all. (even though as we speak, I actually have Black loaded, and am leveling the pokemon, because of the unique experience it offers.) ____________________ What Would Leggy Do? |

Originally posted by ReshiramAh, right. I knew I was missing something. It's a shame Flareon still wasn't salvaged. Flareon, Flare Blitz, come on Gamefreak... B&W did add EXP scaling, but that's largely insignificant. ____________________ Cordilon - Minecraft RP, and several other games too |
