I wonder why HGSS's colours were so garish?

Seriously, compared to DPPt and BW1/2, it's eyemelting.

Pt was even worse, with Gen II-like grass at post-game. I think they started to use much more... lighter tones and desaturated colours starting with BW.

Also, I found this quiz off another site, referred to from another Pokemon forum. I got Snivy. Should I be an adorable Snivy now?

Snivy
Your spirit pokemon is Snivy! Your spirit pokemon has chosen to guide you as you are quite clever and can be cunning, yet you also make a good friend. You may like money and can tend to look down on people. You also may have a calm mind. Snivy will help you get on the good side of people and will help you look at people more equally.

 

[Kokonoe]

It also has my favorite Flareon sprite.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Nah, the desturation started in D/P. In fact I would say those games have the lightest, most pastel-like colorscheme.

I'm Cubone apparently, i'd like to think i'm a pretty chill Cubone...okay now i'm thinking i'm really more like a slakoth or slowpoke.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I liked the garish colors. I just hate it when things are too dark...

 

[Kokonoe]

I can't believe I got Rayquaza.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I can't believe I got Rayquaza.

It was my runner up because somehow there is a close link between the personalities of Cubone and Ray-freakin'-quaza.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Got cubone

I'd say it's rigged, but since the result is my favorite Pokemon, I'll be slightly biased.

I've always thought that the Gen III games were just not saturated enough, and DP cranked it up, especially if you had a DS with a higher-quality display with even backlighting, which means the DS Lite and newer. It gets really irritating when you have the brightness at at least 50%. (level 3 on a DSi)

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I got Cubone too but there were a lot of dark/ghost or sinister looking Pokemon near the top. What does it mean?

Am I the only one who misses the color coded towns/routes from Gen 1?

Does this only happen in pokemon yellow? I'm playing Red (only played blue as a kid) on my GBA and everything is a shade of red/orange.

It probably is implying something. Unless it's that cute widdly Zorua.

Red, BLue, and Japanese Green requires Super Game Boy or Pokemon Stadium.

Requires Super Gameboy or Doduo/Dodrio Gameboy from Stadium. That purple is reminding me of NES Metroid.

Ah, but I assume they made this standard for pokemon yellow?

 

[Kokonoe]

Pokemon Yellow's anime styled battle sprites were nifty.

Pretty much.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Well, I think you could say that Yellow is secretly GBC-enhanced... Hey, at least battle scenes are now in colour even on a portable.

 

[Dion Blaster]

They're just so dated nowadays.

That's probably true for competitve battling, but that's something I've never been interested in. I've been playing Red and Silver recently and they hold up pretty well imo. The battles and plot seem to move at a much smoother pace than recent games.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Got cubone

Pokegaf is now Cubone territory, let's all be lonely together which is like an oxymoron or something.

No, I was referring to the games in general. RBY's UI hurts to use, especially the bag, and the lack of run buttons in both gens hurts. Also, the graphics in RBY are straight up crap. At least this is fixed in Gen II.

I like Gen II, but it's hard to go back to, in this Gen V world. I have moving sprites now, and I can't go back.

I will admit I have not played gen 5 yet, so all my opinions are void when it comes to that. Yeah the UI in gen 1 was pretty bad, mainly the abyss that was the item bag. Gen 2 made that infinitely more convenient.

I hope to play Black or White soon.

 

[Kokonoe]

I don't like the moving sprites because they use scaling to animate.

When the very likely chance Pokemon becomes 3D for Gen 6, animation will actually be good.

 

[Dion Blaster]

Man we really need a Wii U pokemon RPG

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

And being a Snivy should mean that I'll eventually one-shot all of you with Grass moves, along with a healthy helping of Aqua Tail for these Fire types. Hehe.

Can't forget the whole box dilemma on top of that, also the antiquated method of cutting bushes down with a journey through the menu screens.

How can you be so cruel?

The amount of scaling used isn't as bad as I was anticipating, to be fair. I think it looks good. Regardless, it makes the battles visually interesting, which the series has never really had before.

If Pokémon Battle Revolution is any indication, then don't hold your breath.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Are snakes supposed to be cruel?

If Pokémon Battle Revolution is any indication, then don't hold your breath.

If Pokédex 3D Pro is of any indication, feel free to have sweet dreams.

[ColtraineGF]

I don't like the moving sprites because they use scaling to animate.

I wouldn't call that scaling alone though - scaling/rotation/deformation and 2-frame animations was what Gen 4 and 3 used for animation. G5's type of animation is much more complex internally than those in comparison. I like the sprites used in this gen, and will miss them in 6 (although I like some of the animations in Dex 3D).

A more interactive of pokemon snap is all i need. something where you can walk around the pokemon world, and discover fully 3d pokemon. being able to capture them would be a nice bonus
