I hear people constantly arguing over which is the worst game

>>25110718
Fug didn't put poll.....
http://strawpoll.me/6677897

IMO Diamond and Pearl were the worst: good music, not good story or pokemon choice with dumb NPC teams.

>>25110718
there is no "worst" game, every game is a fun experience and every game has their flaws

also please read rule 4 https://www.4chan.org/rules#vp

A survey didn't suffice? This is gen flame wars and you know it.

>>25110728
>https://www.4chan.org/rules#vp
I didn't know that was a rule......

if you wanna talk in overall impact on the franchise, I would say Gen 3 probably lost most of the fans.

From my perspective, I'm 24 and me and all my friends got on board at the end of Gen1/start of gen 2, when Gen 3 rolled out, none of my friends were into pokemon anymore, and a lot didn't bother to pick up Ruby and Sapphire.

I played it, and was actually disappointed, and dropped out of the pokemania craze for quite a while until the end of Gen 4 when HG/SS came out and reeled me back in.

I ask around a lot and the sentiment seems to be the same, a lot of people were put off by Gen 3 and lost interest in Pokemon around that time.

Whether that makes RSE bad games I don't know, but Gen 3 definitely had the reputation as a black sheep of the generations for having a noticeably bitter reaction from fans, making Gen 4 work its ass off to pull people back in.

these days, most people will say either Gen 3 or Gen 5 were the poorest performers, but it all goes down to personal opinion in the end mostly.

Emerald would be GOAT if you could trade eggs pre-E4 though.

>>25110777
what makes ORAS worse than RS?
Or HGSS being low? just curious

>>25110777
>Yellow > FRLG
>GS > HGSS

Just why?

Easily gen 6.

Gen 3 was when most kids started growing up, and on top of that they couldn't let you transfer mons. It never stood a chance against Genwunners (>>25110769)

>>25110718
The worst are Gen 2 / their remakes.

>>25110786
At least mods won't do anything....

You know they never show up.......

It's a fact that d/p was worst.

Literally the only game that made me drop Pokemon til the next gen.

>>25110812
>>25110806
Can you give us reasons why?

X/Y are very understandable, but why ORAS, R/S were poor games and made them into decent games IMO

The worst are Diamond and Pearl

>>25110826
Gen 2 and their remakes have terrible distribution and level balancing. They pander to gen 1 too much as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP0FSwK8RMI

sums it up quite well imo

Gen 3 had the biggest exodus but I don't think it had anything to do with the quality of that Gen, people had just outgrown Pokemon or were peer pressured into leaving it behind.

The actual worst Gen, even though I don't necessarily think it's that bad, is probably Gen 6 currently. I have never seen the hardcore fan base so down on a Generation after it initially promised so much, but GF hasn't really delivered in all honesty, 3D is cool though.

>>25110794
Both ORAS and RS are virtually the same game, except ORAS is more handholdy, even less difficult, worse looking aesthetically (those lazy fucking 3D models), useless not fun gimmicks shoved in your face, and more of a chore to navigate around in. I think the last thing can be attributed to Hoenn originally being a 2D world. The transition to 3D didn't do it justice.

And HGSS #1 has that slow-as-molasses Gen IV engine. #2 it didn't improve on any of the faults of GSC, mainly Pokemon distribution and level curve. Only thing it improved was the addition of the Cianwood Safari zone. Other than that, it's just a more slow, tedious Crystal.

>>25110796
And Yellow > FRLG for more replay ability and for dem Gen I mechanics. It's such a different experience despite being so similar on the surface. But I could understand that could be chalked up to taste whereas the HGSS/ORAS reasoning is completely objective.

>>25110829
D/P and GS could objectively be the worst because they are the only games rendered completely obsolete by another game, whereas all other games and their respective remakes have reasons to play the originals and remakes e.g. RB for the different mechanics, making it different enough to not be rendered obsolete by FRLG, or RS not being rendered obsolete by Emerald since you can trade Eggs into RS and not Emerald and even shitty ORAS over RSE because of online capability.

>>25110890
None of the remakes are without faults.
ORAS has a moderate-to-severe lack of content syndrome
HGSS hasn't fixed any of the problems with the originals
FRLG has
>>>>>>>>>>"...Huh?"

>>25110915
What are you trying to say here exactly?

>>25110718
This is my personal listing, and I don't care what you think as long as you don't thing gen V or I was the absolute best gen and that OR/AS is worse than E.T. for the Atari 2600.
>OR/AS > HG/SS > X/Y > G/S/C > D/P/Pt > R/S/E > FR/LG > B2/W2 > B/W > Literal Trash > R/B/G/Y
R/B/G/Y is at the bottom because it was
>too buggy
>lacking in content when compared to the new games
>too slow considering the lack of running shoes
>didn't start with it so it lacks the nostalgia bias
Only reason G/S/C is higher is because it fixed a lot of the old bugs and added a lot more new stuff, and obviously nostalgia bias considering it's what I started out with.

I've definitely noticed a difference between current /vp/ and /vp/ during the Gen 5 days. There was always shitposting of course, but anons seemed happier in general and more ironic about the shitposting. Speculating about future games was usually "How can it improve?" whereas now it's more like "How much worse will it get?"

Four years ago when moot considered deleting /vp/ and wanted the board's opinion, we chose to save it. I doubt that would happen again if mootwo asked us now.

>>25110718
It's Red
Gen one is a glitchy, ugly, graphical nightmare with no post game whatsoever other than catching Mewtwo. It is literally only enjoyed through Nostalgia and has nothing else. FR/LR was a VAST improvement from R/B and has rendered those games near irrelevant.

Blue at least started as graphically superior to Red and Yellow is even superior to Blue in this regard.

All three are shit but Red and Green for that matter were awful at the get go with nothing to work from and improve off of.

This. So much this. The only reason people like the original games is because of nostalgia. The only people who like them are the ones that started with them. Everyone else sees them for the trash they are compared to the newer games. In retrospect, even gen II was a major improvement.

Gen 6 feels like a game GF just shat out to make money because everyone was so hyped for 3D and the "HOENN CONFIRMED!!!" meme and they knew no matter what they did most people would still eat it up like mindless drones

All Pokemon games are virtually the same game. Only graphical changes and addition of new Pokemon.

Gen II: Pokemon distribution
Gen IV: slow as balls
Gen VI: smartphone tier easy babby mode handholding

those are the only real outstanding flaws of any of the games, if you want to ignore that the franchise as a whole is one big flaw of wasted potential

Yeah, battling every trainer in Kanto with teams 25 levels below your team was fun as hell.

Also, Pokemon distribution is the main problem. You can't even get most of the new Pokemon until postgame. It's just all Kanto guys.

GS had a horrible engine, the worst region, the worst new Pokemon, tons of rehashed content, a poor level curve, a nonexistent story and the most negative additions (baby Pokemon, Unown, etc)

Out of all of them, I disliked B/W the most. I actually liked a decent amount of the dex, but they were really in your face about the story stuff. On top of that, bringing repels felt mandatory unlike most of the other games because you get into fights practically every three steps. It isn't an issue at the start, but later on the routes get longer and longer, and it gets more tedious to drag through them. Another issue I had was a lot of pokemon evolving so damn late, especially the ones I liked. By the time I finally beat the game, I was so burned out I didn't even bother with postgame stuff.

That's because when Gen III came out you were probably in your later years of middle school or early highschool.

That's the age where anything even remotely kid friendly is frowned up and you're a social pariah if you're caught enjoying them.

The same thing would have happened if you were born 5 years later. Your friends would have ate Gen III right up and gen IV would have been the bastard child that none of them purchased.

For every optional shit mechanic they put into this game, they could have made something new, or focused on a returning mechanic. The free legendary could have been made into some sort of quest for the player to go on, but no. Steven just gives it to you with the mega stone. No feeling of "wow that was cool, or "I accomplished something", just "here's this pokemon, go do whatever. Cut all the optional hand holding bullshit and they probably could make the legend hunt a bit more like, oh I dunno, an adventure? Your only argument is all that shit is optional, but optional shit takes up space and time to make, both of which could have been used to deliver a game that wasn't more disappointing than Watch Dogs, Ultima 9, and Duke Nukem Forever combined.

>>25111269

Gen 3 was the generation that the battle frontier was introduced. For a remake of a gen 3 game to copy-paste a slightly better battle tower is completely ridiculous, especially considering they could include a whole battle frontier in a game from 10 years earlier.

It is extremely glitchy though. This is something that can't even be argued as it's something even the majority of people who actually enjoy gen 1 admit.

Shit doesn't even have it's own type match-ups completely straight.

Ignoring it's glitches you are still looking at shittier sprites, a much shittier battle system/format, comparatively shittier music, and the absence of any kind of post game leaving you with dick to do after beating the E4 and catching Mewtwo other than grind.

Anything about R/B in Gen 1 was done much better WITH FR/LG in Gen 3 anyway.

Exactly. And instead of a battle tower like Crystal, or alternatively nothing in G/S, HG/SS had the copy and pasted Platinum BF. You haven't proven me wrong.

You're forgetting the loads of bugs, and lack of a lot of cool 'mons, moves, items, mechanics, etc.
So no, it isn't the same game, you autist.

Emerald had a battle frontier.
There's no reason ORAS shouldn't.

HGSS improved Crystal by going from a battle tower to a frontier. ORAS didn't improve on RS.

So what you're saying is, each residual game is by default better than the last no matter what.

>>25110718
It depends on what you're looking for in a pokemon game, and what things annoy you personally. For me, funnily enough, it's split between Red/Blue and X/Y, and for opposite reasons. Red/Blue are obviously the most mechanically lacking with the least amount of pokemon (and thus less variety), but at the same time it had some challenge. Not a terrible amount, mind you, but it was there.

On the other side of the spectrum, X/Y introduced a ton of things; some good, some bad. But the games are so painfully easy and forgettable; every time I try to go back into it, I get bored after like 5 minutes because there is no challenge.

>>25111336
It's extremely limited in content, in story, in....fuck just about anything compared to all the other games while also having a godawful and broken mess of a battle system.

If you think R/B is the exact same as HG/SS or B2/W2 but with lesser graphics, I don't know what the fuck to tell you, man.

ORAS. I automatically disqualify every game that's the first of its generation for "worst" because they didn't have the crutch of having another already finished game to add on to.

>>25111336
>But it's literally the same game as all the others, but with 8-bit graphics.
So why are you arguing about anything?
Clearly, since they're all the same game,
BW = Yellow = Emerald = FRLG = BW2 = Crystal = Platinum = RB = RS = GS = XY = HGSS = DP = ORAS

Don't worry, everyone! We can stop arguing! All the games are the same!

>>25111368
With that out of the way, there are other factors as mentioned earlier ITT. Still haven't heard a reason to why RBY is bad other than circumstantial / virtually non-existent bugs.

>>25111358
Well, not really, but if you have 5 more gens after something, to say that the first one is still best is just being blinded by nostalgia.

>>25111352
>more types
>more moves
>physical/special split
Holy fuck you're a retarded genwunner. I'm not even talking to you anymore.

>>25111366
So what you're saying is you're only counting remakes and of them, OR/AS is the worst. Whatever man, but FR/LG isn't that much better.

>>25111378
So are you saying Skyrim is the best Elder Scrolls game because it has all the most recent features :^)

I don't mean to stand up for ORAS, but why does everyone hate it so much? I kinda gave up on following Pokemon after how disappointing XY was. Is it just a copy/paste of Ruby/Sapphire with X/Y's graphics, or something? Or is there something that makes it particularly bad?

>>25111385
No. I'm also including things like Platinum, Emerald, and BW2. And ORAS is still the worst out of all of them. At least Those games made the post-game good. ORAS couldn't even manage that much.

>>25111387

>>25111401
Of all those you listed, only HG/SS and BW2 had legitimate post-games compared to OR/AS, and BW2 is barely a legitimate post-game. If you're going to make an argument, at least make one that can't be easily picked apart.

>>25110718

Out of ALL the pokemon game?

Probably Pokemon Dash or the Wii Mystery Dingeon games.

>>25111358
Not him but yeah, that is correct.
Each gen winds up better than the last or at least brings a game that is much better than anything of the last

Gen 2 was a massive upgrade from Gen 1 flat out.
Gen 3 gave us Emerald which was better than anything Gen 2 and even brought us FR/LG which fixed practically every issue with Gen 1.
Gen 4 gave us Platinum and HG/SS which was better than anything Gen 3
Gen 5 gave us B/W and B2/W2 which are both amazing with the latter beating out all of Gen 4

Gen 6 is lacking for now but I'm holding out for Z. With this abnormally long wait time between the 2 main games and the 3rd version or sequel, We could be looking at the single best game of the entire franchise when it ever comes out...

...Until Gen 7 anyway.

>>25111413
No. Platinum and Emerald each introduced a new BF. That alone is HOURS worth of content more single player replayability than ORAS has.

>at least make one that can't be easily picked apart.
Even though you didn't pick it apart? ok ORAS fanboy.

>>25111390
Their main issues are that it's too "hand-holdy", even though A: that isn't a legitimate arguement and B: it's literally all just optional and only for those that don't feel like wasting time and just want to cut to the chase. Their stiffy for "muh BF" is also why, and because of these "problems" that triggers their autism, they have to pull reasons out of their asses to pick apart gen VI and call it terrible. Ignore them. X/Y and OR/AS are perfectly decent games with only minor issues, and you can't use that against them because all games have flaws.

>'HOENN CONFIRMED!!1' shitposting for what felt like forever
>OR/AS comes out, is shit
>influx of shitting on gen I that's equally as vocal as original 'HOENN CONFIRMED!!!' shitposting

The ironing is delicious.

>>25111438
Or maybe being overhyped for video games is not a good thing. I find it sad that it took most of /vp/ this long to learn that the hard way.

>>25111436
Well, then, why is OR/AS good? Anything notable? Or is it just X/Y in Hoenn?

>>25110718
By far DP for being flawed on a game design level and technical level. Its slowness killed my interest in the series a 2nd time. The first time my interest waned was with Crystal, but RS not being compatible was the real kicker so RS are second. I at least finished them emulated years later. I've yet to ever touch either of DP again.

>>25111425
>though I didn't pick it apart
But I did. And I like how you're making no comment on HG/SS's BF, WHICH WAS LITERALLY A CARBON COPY OF PLATINUM'S. Jesus anon, don't hate games for the sake of hating them. And also, who legitimately cares about the BF in this day and age? You get practically nothing, and it isn't difficult unless you have microencephaly so it's pretty much just a clubfest that gets old after an hour. Online battles are actually something.

It's R/S with more content. If you liked R/S, you'll like OR/AS. Plus it has some exclusive shit, like the new megas and soaring.

>>25111454
>But I did. And I like how you're making no comment on HG/SS's BF, WHICH WAS LITERALLY A CARBON COPY OF PLATINUM'S.

I didn't mention it because you already said HGSS had a "legitimate" post-game. I didn't need to address it.

>Jesus anon, don't hate games for the sake of hating them
I don't. I hate games because they're legitimately bad games. Why don't you stop defending games for the sake of defending them? ;)

>And also, who legitimately cares about the BF in this day and age?
I do. Replayable single player content like that is what I like most about Pokemon games. If I want multiplayer I can just play Showdown. But Showdown doesn't offer something like the BF so I like it when games do have it.

>Online battles are actually something.
If I only wanted online I wouldn't bother spending $40 for a middleman and I'd just play Showdown for free. I can also use the XY game I already have instead of buying ORAS. "J-just play online" isn't a good point in ORAS' favor.

Okay.

>>25111688
Is the battle and low catch rate not enough? And the fact that it's level 70 and at the time the player has normally just broken 50?

>>25111688
Let me tell you the difference between the cracked floors on the way to Rayquaza in RSE and getting to Articuno in the Kanto games - at least getting to Articuno requires critical thinking.

>>25111462
Except ORAS is easier than Emerald and has less content.

>>25111387
Skyrim removed features that were in the games before. Your favorite is arena because it's the original and the exact same as all other tes games right?

>>25111373
Psychic types being broken because of bugs is an objective flaw. Game mechanics are bad too.

Given that I am a HUGE DPPT fan, I agree. Didnt really have the most enticing story or NPCs. But yes, Music is the best in the Pokemon Series IMO.

>>25110718
Gen 2 is the worst because it's the gen where GF forgot how to make an RPG.

God awful game balance, grindy, terrible Pokemon distribution, terrible wild Pokemon levels that don't scale correctly at all, etc.

I could go on for ages about everything they got wrong with those games but I won't, I don't know why so many nostalgiafags suck its duck on the daily though. It's like the FF7 of Pokemon, moreso than Gen 1 imo.

Anyone who thinks Emerald is challenging outside of the Battle Frontier is a scrub.

RB, just because they're outclassed by every game that came after. You can still play it and all, but if you don't have nostalgia, you'll see how badly they aged compared to the other games.

Of course, based on gameplay. If you try to take in account Pokémon designs, characters and more, this discussion will never end.
