WHAT'S THE MATTER, TRAINER?

>>388755951
The only thing different between Stadium and current Pokemon games is the lack of an announcer. The reason we are never getting another Stadium now is because current games cover every base that Stadium did in the 00's.
What exactly are you complaining about?

>>388758661
If you think the quality of the modern games even compares to that of Stadium, you're retarded

>>388759096
They surpass it quite a bit, actually. Stadium is a fun diversion, but nothing more.

>>388759096
You're losing me, Stadium is literally just a Battle Tower simulator. It was fine back on the N64 because 3D Pokemon, but it's irrelevant today. The game was also piss easy, I replayed it last year and you can curbstomp every cup with Rentals.

Yeah, they are.

You know that Gen 6 uses a lot of the same animations as Stadium right?

I keep forgetting arguing with genwunners is like banging your head into a wall.

Never. They can't even bring Crystal to the Virtual Console, what makes you think they'd go out of their way to add that?

Just emulate Stadium. You might as well.

But Skarmory does flap its wings. Should it instead just stand there?

Finally the last battle! Red the last among the toughest trainers is the opponent! How will the challenger take on the wily veteran who has prevailed through hundreds of battles? Victory is within sight! Go for it!

It always bothered me how only Red gets to be fightable, I would have loved to battle other previous playable trainers like Gold, Brenden,Lucas,Herbert,Nathan and Calum to see how strong they all were compared to Red but it seems Gamefreak is lazy on that. Even lazier that for gen 7 they didn't even try to use the other player character as a rival or assistant like the previous ones, they just don't exist.

I like the pokemon's animations from the Stadium games more. They had more spunk back them or something. Now they're so dull and lifeless. Stadium 2, especially, was just a better experience to me than anything offered these days. I wish they'd just put the Stadium games on the VC and that they could connect with the gen 1 and 2 games that are on there/soon to be there.

Hello delusional nostalgiafag
The animations are less lively in the modern games but at the expense of them not looking fucking retarded, truth

>>388764997
Yeah because the 3ds has four times as many pokemon and since it's not solely a battle simulator people would rather not wait 15 seconds between each atttack (a huge colosseum/gale of darkness complaint)

>>388770360
The battles also lasted three or four times the time you spend usually. Thank god there's no wild mons in those games, or else you would understand why some prefer mainline's shorter battles.

>>388769665
wut
main line models look awful

why are you fags even comparing mainline to stadium
completely different games, completely different times

though anyone saying modern models are better than stadium's is fucking stupid

>>388770727
yet there is no option to disable certain animations
fuck wild pokemon these days, black and white did it right with the almost instantaneous encounter and capture

>>388770360
>>388770727
Yeah, it's fine to praise the Stadium games for animation, but there are reasons for why the 3DS mainline games are more conservative with it. With the Stadium games, the whole point of playing them are the impressive visuals of seeing your monsters battle in 3D. The mainline games still need to provide you with a full JRPG, and it would be excruciating if every battle animation was as long as those in Stadium. Colosseum/XD kind of already push it, and those weren't quite as long as the mainline games iirc.

>>388763014
They're not bringing crystal because they don't want to re-release the Japanese version without the mobile stuff, and they're not giving it to us and not them.

There's no reason they couldn't do Stadium/Stadium 2, though.

>>388759979
The only thing the Stadium games have over the modern ones are idle animations and that 10/10 cheesy as fuck announcer.

I agree with you the models were better but we're talking about 251 pokemon, not 700+

also
>>388770727
having longer animations is better for Stadium 2 sine its only 3v3 most of the time. Its better for animations to be longer to make up for the fact that the battles are technically shorter and there is less of them.

Irregardless, 3DS models suck pretty hard. Hope they change them for the Switch pokemon.

Serious question here:
I never did less than 100(perfect) at the chansey mini game in very hard but i have found anybody able to do it consistently aside from me.

Were my friends just bad? Can you do 100 everytime at the chansey minigames? Do i have superior visual jutsu? Please i need to know.

>>388772743
The models are fucking huge, so there's no chance they'll change them, they'll retexture them at most.

There is slight hope for better idle animations and more fitting poses, though.

Completely fucking retarded picture. The Pokemon assume those poses when doing moves.


I'm even impressed you didn't use Typhlosion, or else i would had to point out that it has been like that in every single 3D game.

And that Tangrowth is the same exact model used in Battle Revolution.

Liking sprites more is a thing. Doing idiotic pictures like that one is another.

Actually, flying battles in Gen VI did fuck up a lot of idle poses in Gen VI, Skarmory being one of them.

Basically, if it was capable of participating in Flying battles, then its idle animation HAD to show it flying, or it'd be standing on nothing, like Charizard in Stadium 1.
