nintendo

the games are fine but the cutscenes are annoying

It is probably better than sun/moon considering those games were unplayably bad

I like the idea of a tropical region conceptually

Yea I know Ultra cuts down on a ton of the tutorial

alola has some actual difficulty in the totem fights

I never finished the first island in moon, I was not enjoying it

Every game after black/white 2 was bad, and everything after X/Y was not worth playing

I liked Alolan variants aswell when I saw them. I just haven't heard much praise for it and I heard it was the gen that had moves 1 shotting through protect

z moves did like 1/4 damage through protect

I stopped after X and Y actually, at least for 3d

Ok I wasn't sure if the OHKO stuff was simply propaganda or some very niche situation being used to shit on z moves

I only finished X and Y years later to get national dex progress for ORAS

I like the remakes

that is the only good post X/Y thing

I like the diamond and pearl remakes more than the games that came out from that era too, even if they are by far the worst remakes

What I never understood is why remake ORAS and not remake Emerald. I heard Gen 4 remakes weren't good which is a shame as it's my personal favorite

Gen 4 remakes were lazy which was their biggest sin

the previous 3 gens remakes were essentially complete reworks of the game they were remaking

gen 4 remakes were thrown to a competent studio then they made a terrible product so there has to be some gamefreak meddling in there

gen 4 was essentially a 1 to 1 remake with a couple new things

I still think fire red and heartgold are some of the peak of pokemon

the only game that I think comes close from non remakes is original gen 3

Maybe I'm wrong, but ORAS and all that was the start of the lazy era right

This all started because I wanted to nuzlocke the Gen1 and Gen 2 remakes lol

post X/Y was the beginning of the lazy era, it just gets worse with each release

scarlet violet aren't really lazy, just very rushed

Pokemon needs to stop printing money (never happening) for them to bother impoving

That's when I checked out of the series for awhile, but I have been considering picking up Sc/Vl

They need to just faithfully remaster colosseum

that is all they need to do

that will fix everything

if there's isn't a game this year then they finally learned how to not release a game every year

Well didn't they say no game? The streak is broken

If switch 2 is actually coming, I imagine no game this year

then next year pokemon switch 2 launch title

Pika do you have a favorite gen?

Gen 3 both firered as a remake and ruby/saphire

I have not played emerald

I think Gen 3 was definitely the peak, but I like gen 4 despite its flaws.

I never got into gen 4, I only ever finished it for the first time with the remakes

I also did not play pearl

I do not play mid gen release games

no emerald, no pearl, no explorers of sky

I'm surprised you haven't played emerald, definitely one of the good definitive releases

I get the game when it comes out, I am not buying a slightly different copy of the same game

Same reason I refuse to buy mario kart 8 on switch

I own the WiiU version

No I agree with that, I don't think it's something that should ever be a thing again

Its funny because I am constantly told that emerald and pearl mog the games in their gen
