Which is the best of the bunch?
I stopped after 3rd gen, I heard some people say 4th gen is best.
XY and DP are top tier.
Personally I think XY is the best though that could just be it being fresh and the hype is still affecting my opinion.
>>27158398
It's really divisive since people have different tastes in anime formats and general storytelling. My take:
1: DP seasons tend to have a good mix of entertaining filler episodes and contest/gym episodes. Recurring characters like Paul and Zoe also present meaningful rivalries and messages along the way. Ash is presented as consistently competent.
2. XY seasons are cool because due to beautiful animation (especially in battles) and bg (even moreso than other modern anime from other studios). Ash's travel partners are pretty good, and Ash is competent again.
3. Season 1 & Orange Islands: Orange Islands can go die in a pit, but the majority of season 1 episodes establish the Pokemon world as a whole, and the Brock + Misty + Ash dynamic is pretty entertaining. Be warned for multiple occasions of early installment weirdness.
4. AG / Battle Frontier seasons are generally considered okay; what really sets it back is the large amount of skippable filler and some big fat helping of flat flanderization (Ash's idiocy, Team Rocket's incompetence, etc). Ash gets better when the Battle Frontier rolls around, though, and some contest episodes are pretty okay.
5. BW seasons are characterized by heavy plot- and lore-establishing episodes early on, but since BW2 popped up so suddenly, the seasons as a whole take a backseat and we're left with terrible rivals, terrible animation (seriously, what's up with the thick lines), and an unbearably incompetent Ash.
6. Johto seasons are considered subpar for an enormous amount of meaningless filler, and Ash's efforts to train his johto mons being wasted by his Gen I mons eventually taking over.
Kanto and Hoenn have the best starters while the Johto starters are the worst in the series. This is a fact and you cannot deny it.
Yeah i guess not

I'll fucking stab you m8.
you're six today!
i haven't been on this board in ages but i figured i'd check up on it since pokemon go has become such a phenomenon since its release, and i realized the board turns six TODAY!
who remembers those weird Trainer White/Black memes that went around when the board first started? kcalb was a psycho and Black was a sappy indie hipster romantic.... 2010 was a simpler time.

Fuck off.

Why are vegans so retarded?
have you accepted it's destiny to be a waifumon?
Yes. I'm a huge faggot, and fake!popplioevo#5324 is my favorite pokemon. I'm serious. Can't wait for the porn.

>/thread/
No because those starter evos are fake.
Lets be real. With Legendary Pictures eyes currently set on acquiring the Pokemon rights, a live action movie is literally inevitable.
If you were in charge, how would you personally make sure the movie is as good as it can possibly be? Hard Mode: While still making amazing box office numbers.
I'll post my idea in the next post.
Gamefreak can just say no
Nintendo can also say no
If they make some fucking gritty bullshit I am going to vomit
>>27158066
It it actually happened; which is doubtful, it would have based off of generation one, because let's be honest, no one will fucking watch it if it's anything else.
Other than that; just make it like origins or something, hell if I know, just don't make it edgy. Darkest it should get is with Team Rocket.
It's gonna be really fucking hard to make this good if it's live action with CGI.
Can anyone tell me why Ikarishipping is so popular? I don't really get it, especially when there are other, better ships for Dawn
>AppealShipping
>PenguinShipping
>CavalierShipping
Is it really that popular? Not that big into shipping, but also thought GirlPowershipping was the most popular.
but yes I agree all these other ships are better than DawnxPaul
>>27158026
Dawn is a dyke and Paul was a dick. They were incompatible.
>>27158026
I don't think it's popular outside of tumblr. But here are some reasons:
It's a ship that keeps Dawn away from Ash. Pokeshippers get triggered every time a new pokegirl companion gets announced, so they make up reasons why ships other than Ash+companion girl are canon.
It's the classic solitary/lonely boy + cheerful girl that helps him get better. It And it will keep happening as long as people like that kind of shit.
What country has this game been released in?
Officially: Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and the USA
>Is anyone else having trouble with x?
Yes. Servers have been fucking up forever. If you have an issue, it's likely a server issue or a bug not unique to you.
>When will the game be released in my country?
What are we, from the future? We don't know.
>It says that the app is incompatible with my devices! What gives?
This is a region lock and it is very probable that your device IS in fact compatible with Pokemon GO. Install the app to find out! Directions are below.
>If I live outside of Australia, Germany and the USA, can I download this game for Android?
Sure! Keep reading for directions.

So I don't get it. In theory shouldn't the Gen 5 scaled experience system be the most beneficial way to gain experience?
For those who don't know you gained experience relative to the level difference and you were rewarded for defeated higher level Pokémon with a lower level.
Why was it done away with in Gen 6? I honestly thought it was one of the best things about Gen 5.
I never even noticed.
They did away with it because Exp. Share would make things too easy.
>b-but they could keep it and not add Exp. Share!
Yeah, but they wanted Exp. Share so the scaled experience had to go. Go figure.
>>27157999
Nice trips.
Because people are idiots and complained about it most likely. There was probably whining that not being able to overlevel efficiently made the games too hard.
Sun and Moon look fantastic, but the exp system is just one other reason why Gen V is probably going to be Pokemon's pinnacle for me. I don't see GF reverting to its exp system.

Ask me anything else about Pokemon Sun and Moon.
>>27157899
I'll bite.
Which Pokemon can you ride on?
How big is the female trainer's dick?
I hope Mimikyu's ability doesn't alter it's already excellent typing.
>There's people currently on this board that believed that this was a legit Pokémon and defended it
Yes, that is Litten's pupal stage. Problem?
What the hell was it supposed to look like?
>>27157872
No, there really weren't. There were the trolls and memers peddling it and everyone else saying "no fucking way."
"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites. I like your style. You understand what's important. Go on — — the Champion is waiting."
>>27157797
what if my favorites are sunkern and unown?
>>27157797
>wahhh wahhh I didn't really lose because I used my favorites
Embarassing.
"If somebody wins, the person who fought against that person will lose. That's battle. A good contender just seeks the next victory without bragging after winning, and without getting upset after losing."

This is your chance Nintendo; you have
> A large playerbase remember your franchise with Pokemon GO
> A highly anticipated new generation coming soon
> A continued, genuinely quality series of merch coming out for the 20th anniversary
> Symphonic Evolutions STILL selling out continuously
> Media outlets talking about you again
All we need is a theater movie, put Pokemon back on the big screen with a quality title like you did in the past. It's literally the last move you need to make.
