Pokemon games need to stop basing their gyms on typing, and should be centered around a particular theme or strategy instead, like Stall gyms or gyms with Cave-based pokemon.
There's a reason why you don't work at gamefreak.

What is your #1 most wanted mechanic to return in SM?
I fucking demand the VS Seeker comes back. After replaying FR and Plat, I don't know if I can go back to slow ass grinding forever on underlevelled wild pokemon

You can do rematches via the PokéNav in ORAS so I'd assume they've seen sense.

I'm new to /vp/ don't see a thread like this, but I think it is helpful on most boards so... Questions that don't deserve their own thread.
I'll start: I'm playing through White 2 post-game after having left it gathering dust for a few years. I'm trying to do the Curtis/Yancy side quest and I forgot where I left off. I'm pretty sure I started it and I went to all of the locations in: http://www.serebii.net/black2white2/droppeditem.shtml
Now I'm just totally lost. Nothing happened at any of those spots, but I went to the ferris wheel and some male character whose name didn't show took me for a ride andprobably sucked me off. My character is male though, so I think it would be a female character if this was part of the quest?
Anyway, how do I check progress on this mission and figure out wtf to do next? I just want my togepi
>>27332019
update: I went back to the ferris wheel and some trainer was there. Not Yancy. Also the guy I mentioned in OP looked like Cheren. Is any of this mission time/date related?
>>27332040
anyone out there... p-plis?
Sorry OP can't answer your question but the page says once they've called 30-50 times call the next day

Should SM have more epic, tryhard music like Zinnia's theme?

Considering that was the only good thing about her, yes.
>>27331801
>Courtney's quirk is her lack of emotions
>in the official pic she's angry as fuck
explain this
>>27331801
No. That theme and Wally's were mediocre as hell.
I hope they at least have a distinct Hawaii feel to the battle themes, and music in general.

Why even live
>>27331740
Everyone hated the Gen 4 ones, remember?
Why should GF both when nostalgiafags are just going complain about their "favorite" Pokemon being "ruined"?
>>27331740
While I liked every new Evo we got in Gen IV (inb4 LOLYOUHAVESHITTASTEANON) I do think that an entire generation made up of mostly new Evos for old Pokemon was a bit overboard. It distracted from there being new Pokemon a bit too much and stunted Gen IV's ability to feel like it's own, distinct Pokemon ecosystem.
I don't want new Evos for old Pokemon to define a Generation. They should have interspersed the new Evos from Gen IV throughout IV, V, and VI, rather than just dumping them all in one generation.
Babies, Evos, and Megas were all controversial. I don't know if Gen VIII will add more cross-gen evos but eh. There'll always be haters around even though evolutions generally improve pokemon thanks to Eviolite.
What's up with the awful level distribution in HGSS?
>clair's pokemon are roughly late 30s to early 40s in level
>the route right outside of the town (route 45) averages at roughly 28 in terms of level
what the fuck
i know wild pokemon are lower in level, but roughly 10 below the gyms?
its even worse if you need to grind to get some lower level 'mons higher
tfw adding swinub to my team
HGSS didn't fix the two biggest issues with GSC
Level scaling and pokemon distribution
Level scaling is still fucking shit, and Pokemon distribution was only made slightly better(the new route to the safari zone and the pokewalker).
Thankfully, romhacks alienate both of these issues and make HGSS great.Now if only HGSS weren't buggy as fuck on emulators and didn't crash randomly out of nowhere every so often.
>>27331732
that is why i played that once
tried to nuzlocke it but the endless grinding made me stop before i reached claire
>Only 151 Pokemon
>Ho-Oh was in episode 1

>Togepi becomes a mascot half way through Kanto
>Marril and friends show up in the First movie
Why are Genwunners literal retards
>>27331717
Haven't you heard?
Togepi, Ho-oh, Donphan and Marrill are gen 1 Pokemon.
Seriously, ask a genwunner and they'll think that.
no one cared about the anime, it was shit back then and its shit today
People were watching digimon instead
>>27332320
>People were watching digimon instead
You what?
Compared to Pokemon no one watched Digimon.
tl;dr I want to get back into the handhelds, what order should I do it in?
Years ago I played the fuck out of Red/Blue/Yellow, lots of kids back in my middle school were trading, battling during lunch/recess and so on. My copy of Pokemon Red still has all 151 pokemon on it and with the recent explosion of Pokemon Go I.. think I have some catching up to do with the handheld games. Money is not an issue from the various prices I seen locally and on ebay.
Do I go through the natural progression of the pokemon games? Personally for me it would be picking up Crystal, then Emerald, Platinum, Black or White 2, X or Y and eventually Sun or Moon
Or should I go for the "updated" route: LeafGreen, HGSS, ORAS, Platinum, B/W2, X/Y?
Or something I did not think of.
I'd personally go FR/LG to Emerald to HG/SS to Platinum to B2/W2 to OR/AS to X/Y but you can be flexible and you don't have to play every game.
And yeah, the "updated" versions are generally better than the originals.
>>27331729
This, but play BW before BW2. You'll appreciate the game more that way.
Oh so BW2 are direct sequels to BW? weird
