Even if it's just a bit and he's trying to be funny, I just don't think it's very fun to listen to how much someone hates on something, ignoring whether or not I'm a gen 3 fan. I remember a while back I was looking at 0-view twitch streamers and someone was playing Touhou Puppet Dance Performance, so I watched it for about an hour and she just constantly talked about how much she HATED Byakuren. I don't even like Byak, not in the slightest, but it made me really annoyed to just listen to someone only talk about what they hate. I have no idea what Touhou character said streamer likes, only that she hates Byakuren.

I like gen 3 better than 4 though ;-;

seriously what is he talking about

I think there's a pattern that most people dislike their third game. So, people who started with gen 1 dislike gen 3. I started with gen 3, so I disliked gen 5. Of course, I've since changed my opinion on that after garbage after garbage was released, but I still had that initial dislike.

you said you didn't get into 4 though, so maybe it doesn't apply to you? It's not a 100% accurate rule haha

I never actually beat any of the games when I was little. I always got stuck on the E4

BW were the first games I managed to beat

Sure it's not, but he's saying that specifically about Rayquaza

Rob

Rob went on a whole rant about how uninspired Rayquaza is

Ok but it's a joke that goes on for too long and isn't very funny. Rob himself doesn't sound like he's having fun when bashing on gen 3 pokemon. There's no laughter.

I think the issues aside from the new pokemon are moreso what people dislike about XY

Namely the friends, the XP Share, the general region layout/pacing, Team Flare just being awful.

I feel like since the gen 6 dex is so small, they're MORE memorable in turn though. The gen 2 mons have the issue mainly of just not being catchable until Kanto for some reason.

Yeah but you’re not remembering that houndour is gen 2 when he’s in Kanto only.

That's not true at all. Gen 2 has a LOT of new pokemon. It's just that they aren't seen much in gen 2 since the gym leaders don't have any new pokemon and a lot of them are locked behind Kanto.

I think gen 4 has the largest number of new evos if you don't count megas

When I said new evos I wasn't thinking about babies

what is yangoose

what

what

I guess I like OoT now

in what world is four swords the highest rated GBA game though

I got this

oh gotcha

I'll take this

I'm not sure why they did DS2 before 1, but my friend did it in an archipelago and it was pretty miserable.

DS3 has a few more than 2, but I get that they're more minor

4 cinders

small doll and basin of vows are also major area unlocks. Yes, technically the game can be completed before needing them if you get all 4 cinders, but they're still key items.

if cinders are behind the bosses, you need basin and doll for sure

DS3 rando is still less linear than playing the game normally though. You can get basin early and have to do castle early, cathedral of the deep is an entire side area you can choose to skip or not, you may need to go to archdragon peak if you get the path of the dragon.

I'm not saying DS2 isn't more nonlinear, I get that, I just like DS3 too.

Is there a DS2 poptracker yet?

Tracker would be weird with DS2 actually because you can pick and choose differnet paths with your fragrant branches

Not sure how it would work, but I feel like having the bells of awakening as checks would be fun for DS1.

I dunno if it's a setting or what, but my friend when he did DS2 got a master lockstone instead of individual ones.

I have no idea what the archipelago settings are

The only issue with lockstones is that you can absolutely lock items out. They'd have to logic check make sure those items are never required.

yeah

there's just a lot of dud lockstones you can waste in the Doors of Pharros

if you're stupid

yeah but it would still suck to get softlocked because you threw away all your lockstones on nothing useful and then a key item is behind a different door

branches also seem like they would have to have complicated logic, like if you unlock a path with them that doesn't have a branch behind it (like Ornifex's door, which has one in vanilla)

Actually, I think there's multiple ways to waste branches in the Shaded Woods

I watch mostly everything in 2x...

unless I'm specifically watching for gameplay, that is

I did not like the Demon's Souls remake.
