I can't wait for thiiiiis. Evil Friends Forever.
I didn't think anyone would lurk this thread though. :lol

Hmm... I think I registered on GAF around the time FF13 was going to be released in NA. I didn't get approved until a full year after, though. But I'd been lurking GAF since maybe late 2008/early 2009, but I was always too nervous to sign up until 2010. So I've been there, and man, auto-subs are a godsend.

You've been on point all week, just for that GSC post in gaming side. Sheesh. I have nothing to add to that one because I agree with it.

EVIL FRIENDS FOREVER!!! This is the greatest fucking thing. I cannot wait for this.
I agree. GSC/HGSS are one of my favorite games of all time. I like how some people are getting a bit defensive over it and now apparently it's bad to like Mewtwo in Smash Bros!

Hey, Schala's still cool. You pay later! Later?
"What happened to you, Schala? You used to be cool."
Still, I disagree with some of the points the OP made, like GSC has a crappy story. I didn't even know people played Pokemon for the narrative, and even then it was still a decent sequel to Gen 1 with a few callbacks while it was at it. And I genuinely like GSC's game design in terms of giving you Johto and then making the player realized that holy shit you can go back to parts of Kanto and it's a whole new ballgame.
...
People play Pokemon for the story?!
I absolutely loved Platinum and enjoyed Black (until I got burned out, but I blame the fact they constantly release new Pokemon games every year, I was even burned out in HGSS!)
but LOL at the GSC haters getting annoyed that people still love those games.
I swear to god I've seen someone in GAF a long time ago suggesting a post-apocalyptic setting Pokemon game and it wasn't honestly the first time I heard it.

To be fair, your bit about balancing wasn't completely off. The OG game's balancing may have been a little wonky but as long as you used buffs and debuffs (lolololololol), you could've been okay.

Ocarina of Time sucks because it's old.
You only like it because nostalgia.
Sonic 3&K suck too. Because nostalgia.

RSE disappointed me for some reason, I'm not sure what it is. I didn't enjoy R/S but ended up enjoying Emerald but... something about the games feels off. They're definitely not bad games though.

Waddyaknow, belated-birthday cake tastes just as good as regular birthday cake!
They just need to make a Pokemon game set in the Special/Adventures canon; it's the only thing the series has that interests me anymore.

That thread is bananas. It's like PokeGAF unleashed.
I read a lot of threads but don't post in them.
We should do something like that. Anth0ny prepares his argument as to why he thinks Sonic 2006 is better than Sonic Colours and Unleashed, and then the rest of us prepare arguments to refute him.
you just want an excuse for one of us to post the cake pic.

why do you want nintendo to release the old pokemons on the 3DS vc, those games don't hold up at all.
No thank you.
B/W > R/S/E > I stop caring because the other three are all pretty broken in various ways
Story's probably the wrong way to put it, since the writing didn't start being worth anything until B/W. But the individual events that happen are important for keeping the player engaged and motivated.

I had XD for the Gamecube, not only the name was awful but the characters looked like shit. I don't know if the game itself was good because I never gotten far into it.They already made one.

Correction, it's Sonic always sucked and was never good to start with.
While the nostalgia argument is a cop out I would say that there's sometimes the opposite being pretty apparent, the new games in a series suck because any changes from the past are ill received with shaky reasoning or an inability to let an old favourite be usurped by the new.
I think I find that one far more frustrating but it's harder to pinpoint if that's the case because there's always fair points that some changes just aren't going to be considered an improvement to everyone for various reasons but really i'm more thinking about the people who clearly have no plans to give whatever game a fair shake because "back in the day..."

Then the picture of the cake was more convenient than I thought outside of the God is Dead bit.
Ah, so just basic plot pushers. But generally the plots are basically gotta catch them all beat the strong Pokemon dudes while dealing with Team Rocket, etc. Before B/W anyway. No, before RS because you had to deal with Team Aqua/Magma's climate change proposals. But even then, I've never really thought of narrative or the narrative subplots in any Pokemon games when I went through them. :/
I mean, it's no Pokemon Adventure manga. And that manga at least had a decent story.
Ah, yes, right. I forgot that was some people's favourite argument now.Nocturnowl said:
Well, I don't think anyone's necessarily implying that the future games are bad because future iterations are supposed to improve on things. It's good that they don't all have the same things otherwise the series will just feel homogenized.

Most people i'd say are pretty pleased with it, I can understand that.
But I was pretty disappointed coming off from Black 1,The restructuring of the games progression bothers me in a few ways partly related to some late placement of the Gen 5 pokemon and the plot pacing is all kinds of nutty, yeah I know , plot in pokemon isn't exactly anything at all important but the way it's all handled especially by comparison to the previous game leaves me a bit perplexed.
I'd also consider it leaning too much on the whole bigger is better mindset, the new Victory Road embodies this quite well, great for some, not so much for me.

B2W2 seems like a nice companion piece to BW1. Nothing more.
Dark Schala
Eloquent Princess
Soooo, don't bother with B/W2.
? At least that was kind of interesting. Is it just a retread of that game's plot in a way, or does it get a little waffly?
Late placement of Gen 5 Pokemon doesn't make sense (well, based on series tradition I guess it might, but...).
Well, isn't the plot of B/W something like...
be the best Pokemon guy + stop N from being a complete nutter and then beat up Ghetsis also Team Plasma's uniforms are stupid
Late placement of Gen 5 Pokemon doesn't make sense (well, based on series tradition I guess it might, but...).
I've been running around as Tails in this blasted forest trying to find my way out for the past 10 minutes. I accidentally skipped the cutscene where Tails finds a chaos emerald, so now I have absolutely no idea where to go and the red sparkly light at the train station isn't helping.
Edit: Oh, I had to go into this cave with a barely noticeable false rooftop and press a switch there to make the cave not a dead end. Woopeee.

Welcome to Adventure game design.
It's not that I dislike it, because I like Unleashed's bits regarding the design quite a bit. They just feel unpolished, and I'd generally would rather blaze through levels and use power-ups and skills as opposed to adventuring with other characters I don't like controlling.

Lord Iizuka-sama must be so happy that his games are reaching new players all the time.
I'm remembering why I sold my copy of the DX Gamecube version years ago. Though now that I own a digital version, he has the last laugh.
