The remakes are better. They fixed a lot of the issues with level scaling and not being able to catch any of the new pokemon until endgame.

Gen 3, considering it contained remakes of Gen 1 that improved them in basically every way.

>>260365951
I started with Gen 1 and I can tell you that mechanically, it's a pile of shit. Platinum is the best game.

is it even possible to objectively consider gen 1 the best? the mechanics were fucked to hell so bad they made gen 2 mostly to fix all the fucking problems

also, you guys want to know some cool shit about gen 2?

when gold and silver were finished, they were compressed so god damn well that they had a shitton of space left and some time to burn, so they had the idea of importing kanto. if it weren't for that compression godliness kanto wouldn't even be in the game. you should be happy it's even there, not complaining that it's not good enough 4u, numbnuts.

Gen 2 had the most postgame anyways. A whole new region with 8 new badges, and the Gen 2 Kanto is not as empty as genwunners make it out to be.

Remakes/BW2 > Third games > Region starting games > diamond and pearl

Gen 3 was best
I am a 90's kid who had Red, Blue and Yellow and gen 1 is my 2nd favorite, gen 2 being my third. Havne't played the others.

>>260368352

hey man don't talk shit about chandelure, that's my nigga

dude there was like six hundred fucking pokemon when they made gen 5, you don't think they would have to make interesting design choices to make every singular pokemon stand out from the rest? they have to take into account samey pokemon, so instead of making another dragonite or making another rhyhorn, they have to work on making all-new looking 'mons. and i never really had a problem with ice cream and garbage pokemon anyway, they fit right in. you do notice that there were like ten pokemon dedicated to the concept of filth before gen 5, right?

I liked 3 also. It also spawn a billion rom hacks which counts as a point in it's favor.

i hated 2 for no real reason other than personal taste.

4 was easily the worst games except had the best meta and would have been somewhere near amazing if sneaky pebbles didn't exist.

5 was ok.

6 was fucking retarded.

I dont think 1 can be called bad even though it was buggy as fuck, unbalanced, and awkward. It started it all and basically the games have barely changed outside of random things being tacked onto it.

>>260368494
Gen 3 had the best battle frontier. Hoping it comes back in the remakes.

It took more than a decade for them to make a lion. They aren't running out of ideas. They're just making things you don't like.

Japanese folklore is FOUNDED on scary monsters being normal objects possessed by ghosts and monsters. Pokemon will NEVER stop having inanimate object based monsters.

Enjoy Gen 7 when Japan finally makes that ghost type umbrella they've been waiting hundreds of years to do.

And now, easily one of the best gens if not the best gen is being remade in glorious 3D. You're entitled to your opinion, but fucking hell man gen 6 is dah best dah best

in gen 2 they weren't in the mindset of "all-new pokemon experience", it was a sequel, so all the old pokemon made a comeback with some new ones mixed in to make it interesting. i guess that's why they started to introduce a few more gimmicky pokemon. later gens (especially gen 5) would depend more on newer pokemon

Am I the only one who really loved the legendaries of gen 4? I just love the designs and the way the events played out to get those pokemon, especially the mystery event pokemon in gen 5 like Shaymin, Darkrai, and Arceus.

You can defend these "design choices" and "intended" sutff all you want but that doesn't make them excusable.

>>260373538

Simple, Gen 2's dex was nothing but shitmons that were cut from the first game for being too garbage, with a few gems. The region was small and lifeless, few new Pokemon were available for use as many were hidden in the hilariously underlevelled and completely barren postgame, the level scaling was the worst it has ever been, the gameplay promoted stall above all else. even the plot, the LEAST important aspect of pokemon by far, was the weakest by a longshot- "team rocket is blindly groping around after being beheaded by Red, watch them enact their master plan to beg Giovanni to come back". also, baby pokemon. just, baby pokemon. need anything else be said?

it had some damn catchy tunes and a VERY few amazing pokemon, and i loved it as much as anyone else back in the day, but looking back those were some flawed motherfucking games.

>>260374383
a lot of those "faults" are because a few moves are situational

every single gen introduced highly situational moves as well, so why is it only a critical design issue in gen 1 and not every single gen afterwards as well

Kanto was barren and boring even in its home gen, gen 2 somehow managed to make it even more barren.

>>260375021
why should they be ashamed? Its a glitch true, lots of games have glitches, some of them render your entire game unplayable

the missingno glitch on the other hand pretty much was additional content. Its the sort of secret that would be almost impossible to top even if you were actively TRYING to make a secret.

nobody hated gamefreak for missingno being in, heck the glitchy nature of the first pokemon games together with all the urban rumors they created actively helped the games gain popularity

Not even nostalgia, I fucking adored gen 5. But 6 was just an abomination, it's like they put all their effort into balance changes and didn't even try with anything else.

my first line is "not all things"
I'm not saying everything in gen 1 was perfect but I am saying that it wasn't as bad as the gen1 haters like to make people believe

and a LOT of things have changed in the pokemon games, the fact that the physical/special split was introduced doesn't mean that gen 1, 2 and 3 are absolutely and utterly irredeemable shit and some of the bugs made various moves significantly more useful than their current incarnations like hyperbeam, bide, and the wrapping moves

I actually liked that about the games, I remember being pretty excited as a wee lad encountering these strange new pokemon in these strange places even late into the game. Maybe they could have introduced some sooner but I'm glad they didn't just flood you with new pokemon from the start and remove any surprises from the game.

missingno doesn't make the game better. it serves to exemplify why gen 1 is objectively awful in comparison to what pokemon would eventually become mechanically. the entire game was full of stupid oversights and unmeant glitches and missingno manages to be the pinnacle of that, the perfect bastion of bad programming in video games.

Hasn't that always been a problem? The only time I remember that wasn't the case was X and Y, although Exp Share is stupid good in that game.

I see, I wasn't much of a fan of B/W and in B/W2 I still only stuck to a party of 3-4 for any fighting. Going for 6 felt like I was stretching my experience too thin.

The oceans were GOAT though, especially the south. The only problem was the lack of wild pokemon variety, which should be a non-issue because there have been three generations since then.

Literally any other gen.

Gen 1 was a technological mess and it was FILLED with bugs, it had virtually no post game, the pre-Yellow sprites were fucking terrible, and gameplay wise it's inferior to every other game.

Seriously, there's absolutely no reason to think Gen 1 is better than the other gens besides nostalgia faggotry. You can prefer it all you want but it's objectively inferior.

You could have at least posted the Gen 1 remakes(which is still inferior anyway because lol no phys/special split)

Platinum a best

>>260363247
Literally this

More Pokemon per cart, more features, more polished, more depth to combat mechanics, more types, online capabilities, etc are things that we see in later games. These are objective improvements.

Literally the only arguments people give for the first two gens boil down to subjective shit like aesthetics and worthless shit like nostalgia.

played red and yellow the most. then i got silver. silver was fantastic because of the way the world seemed decently real and eventful due to competitions and the trainers calling you.

gen 1 pokemon will always be the best but you got all of those plus new pokemon in gen 2.

anyone remember pokemon trading card game the game, though? totally underrated.

>>260374801
this dude was badass!

>>260388620
Awesome game, wish i had a pal to play with so i could get those extra cards. I heard that it's available on the 3ds now in the online store but i don't think there's any multi-player function.

>>260367002
More like fucking retarded race, every game holds your hand even harder and gets more boring, they are piss easy with gyms that barely have 3 pokemon teams it is pathetic.

>>260391346
Yes, they were always easy.
However i laugh at people saying that gym leaders having more than three Pokémon makes them more difficult.
These same people think a gym leader 8 having a Luvdisc and/or an unevolved Pokémon actually present more of a challenge.
Wulfric's Cryogonal alone is enough to defeat Giovanni by itself, even without counting it being ice type, his team had terrible special defense. On top of having a Rhyhorn instead of another ground type like Golem.
Wallace had a goddamn Luvdisc and a Sealeo instead of, i don't know, Sharpedo or Wailord.
Bruno instead of two useless Onix could had Primeape and Poliwrath.

It's the Pokémon that counts, not the number of them.

>>260388620
I had it on my old PC and played it so long I got headaches

>>260362621
Crystal.

>>260391309

I wouldn't shit on him so much if they didn't decide to give him fucking kawaii eyes instead of something like moai head eyes or something.

Nosepass was the best, look at what they've done to him. LOOK AT IT

>>260362621
i prefer gen 2
