Is Kalos Route 1 the perfect summary of Gen 6? who thought this

>>27413836
Lacking content, barebones and painfully easy? Yes, I think it does summarize it quite nicely.

Never thought of it that way, but yes.

>>27413836
And is gen 5's route one a good summary of gen 5?

>>27413836
They could have at least made it 3D

>b-but Unova!
>has four different color palettes
>has actual grass to find Pokémon in
>is completely linear the first time around, but has more to explore later in the game if you decide to revisit, encouraging backtracking that fleshes out the region
Yeah, sure.

>>27413908
So yes it's a good description?

>>27413914
I was using it as a positive anon

>>27413936
Oh well, I like Route 19 better as a first route anyway.

>>27413973
BW2 is just better in general

>>27413836
I've always thought this route was some kind of tutorial. Like GF thought players needed to be shown they can walk to different towns. Because apparently they expected the game to be a hit with nongamers/actual babies?

Honestly I think Kalos Route 2 is a better representation

>Also short and rather barevokes
>grass because it's not that much easier than the rest of Pokémon like this board says, but it's the easiest gen by far
>guaranteed Pidgey encounter, the beginning of XY's awful genwunner pandering
>Speaking of which it's right before Viri-I mean Santalune Forest

>>27413998
Santalune forest was alright though, and it was nice you got the elemental monkeys where they might actually be useful.

>>27413998
first catch on route 2 was a fletchling, what's your point?

>>27414084
Guaranteed Pidgey encounter first no matter what.

wasn't lying, just haven't actually been to that area of the game or cared about it in almost 3 years so it's a little easy to forget every fucking encounter on that route

>>27413998
Fun fact, you actually cannot fail to capture a Pokemon there

>>27414354
A shiny Pokémon scripted in the first route? And out of them all it would be a fucking shiny Zigzagoon? Kys stupid casual anonshit.

>>27414354
The first encounter is scripted to be a Pidgey.

Guys, stop complaining about the guaranteed Pidgey and start complaning about the fact that Pokemon on Routes 101 and 2 are guaranteed to be caught regardless of health.

>>27413836

There had to have been a better way to implement this. There just had to be.

>>27414586
It's not like route 2 is better

>>27414613
At least route 2 had patches of grass

Hilariously enough it does.

No seriously why does kalos route 1 even exist? No one would even notice that it's gone if it were taken out.

>>grass because it's not that much easier than the rest of Pokémon like this board says, but it's the easiest gen by far
I never got this shit, someone here was debating with me that XY were way harder than older gens.

>replaying yellow in 3ds yesterday
>mfw sabrina and koga level jump like 15 levels from the last giovanni to level 50 teams out of nowhere while the regular trainers are still level 30ish

Sure as fuck wasn't like that in red.

>>27413998

GOTTA BE Santalune Forest

>Free heals

>10 different Pokemon to catch that you're not going to find EVER in a future route

>>27414189
>forget every fucking encounter
We're only talking about the very first encounter

>>27414820
Also it's in the design of Virdian Forest

>>27413914
Thanks for reminding me why I love Gen V.

I played Platinum, White, White 2 and Y back to back recently and Y just felt so puny compared to the others.

>>27414820
This is really embarrassing compared to Viridian Forest.

The sad thing is XY could have been so good. There was so much potential there.

>>27414980
Honestly I can't fucking tell if people who like to defend gen 6 are baiting or serious.

>>27415027
Well atlease they SEEM to be fixing XY's issues with gen 6.

...it really was a tech demo.

>>27415041
They shouldn't realse a fucking tech demo to the public at 40$'s a pop

It's the highest selling game on the 3ds, it's pretty disgusting

>>27415016
Viridian Forest was just as easy, don't fool yourself.

>free shit all around
>exclusive Pikachu
>one trainer battle necessary to complete it
>free Potion right before fighting said trainer

This is coming from a person who started with Blue back in 1999.

Pokemon has always been easy. There's nothing wrong with XY, except the constant dialogue, XP share, and XP for catching.

>>27415115
XP share would be fine if they just add back black/white xp scaling.

I had like 25+ hours clocked between my first two badges.

If X/Y Kept with that pacing, it would've been the GOAT Pokemo. Game.

Oh and I guess better rivals would've helped too.

>>27415115
There's actually more trainers in RB

>>27415181
There's actually more trainers in XY I believe. One is a must fight, three are optional

In RB, one is a must fight, two you can walk

>>27415162
Yeah, I remember thinking that I got a lot done between the first and second gym, and then you start seeing Team Flare, get your mega stone...

And then its all downhill.

>>27415217
Why didn't the title legends get megastones?

>>27415115
>free shit all around
You had to go through grassy patches and/or trainers to get to these "free" stuff
>exclusive Pikachu
what, you had to catch it like all mons
>one trainer battle necessary to complete it
and a shitload of unavoidable grass
>free Potion right before fighting said trainer
you always get free potions at the start of Pokemon games

The difference here is that gen 1 awknoledges it as a begginer first steps and then ups the difficulty and levels later, while XY actually get easier after exp share.

>Just don't use it
It comes activated by default

>>27414820
It was too lasses and a youngster.

>>27415265
>not knowing there are patches of grass in RBY that will never has a 0% random encounter rate

Lol

>The difference here is that gen 1 awknoledges it as a begginer first steps and then ups the difficulty and levels later.

And Santalune Forest was also a tutorial. Gamefreak didnt create the game for you. They don't create games strictly for the hardcore fans. They create them with newer fans in mind

That's why every game still has a tutorial. That's why Sun and Moon will also have some kind of tutorial.

Don't get mad

>>27415214
In RB there's the same amount. I'm just used to playing Yellow more

>>27415317
>will never has a 0% random encounter rate
so, regular grass encounters?

>>27415317
Can we get mad over route 1?

>>27415336
http://youtu.be/oJ5SCIikzgo

>>27415317
>not knowing there are patches of grass in RBY that will never has a 0% random encounter rate
So? It's still grassy patches and you will likely to encounter a pokemon on the others then
>And Santalune Forest was also a tutorial.
It doesn't serves as a tutorial if the difficulty doesn't really goes up, but down after a while.
>Gamefreak didnt create the game for you. They don't create games strictly for the hardcore fans. They create them with newer fans in mind
They create it for fans in general and new potential fans, which is why there's content for both.
The rest is just masuda forcing his agenda, which Ohmori is apparently just now getting free of
>That's why every game still has a tutorial. That's why Sun and Moon will also have some kind of tutorial.
Probably, but read above, tutorials are the opposite of what XY did.
>Don't get mad
No one is mad here anon, I'm just debating what you said.

Why would anyone be mad? What?

>>27415072

It's Pokemon in 3D Anon

You make a fucking game with 700+ models with different animations

>>27415403
The models for the most part are fine.

They should be semi decent

>>27414980
Its because the short Routes. The 3D makes the region feel large, but if you look past that it isn't.

>>27415403
I don't need to make good Pokemon games to know a bad one. I just need to play them

>>27415440
No it isn't anon. People lack character and we have the shortest story we've ever seen with the most forced handouts in a game

2 gym leaders are seen outside their gym. One of them is out there just looking at Pokemon for like a minute

>>27413836
It was just to show up "look guys, Pokemon is in 3D now, be amazed"

>>27415489
X and Y or route 1?

>>27413836
Am I the only faggot that actually enjoys all the pokemon games on this fucking board?
0/10 made me post

>>27415501
Nah, I do too anon, even XY. But I still think they're the weakest entries in the series.

>>27415501
>How dare people dislike what I like!

>>27415516
It's not that at all. It's just the constant bitching gets old after seeing it in almost every thread here.

>>27415501
Listen I'm sure many here(including myself) did enjoy XY for the most part but there are many questionable choices made with it,

>>27415162
>I had like 25+ hours clocked between my first two badges.
Why do you lie?
And why do people circlejerk over the most boring parts of the game?
You're literally being stopped by your """friends""" at every locale, have to do some shitty "sidequest" for the Poké Flute(gen 1 reference! :3) and experience the worst riding segment in the game.
The length doesn't matter if it's fucking shit.

>>27415560
I used to like it, but the more I played it. The more I started to hate it personally

>>27415501
Senplai look at it this way.
XY is literally super smash brothers brawl.
Gen 3,4,5's 3rd games/ sequels/remakes are melee
Gen 1 and 2 are 64

>>27415589
Huh I'm OP and I can agree with this.

I hate it when people call it the "Zelda" cycle

>>27415579
Because you get to explore shit. Knowing you get a badge means you're a step closer to ending the main game

>>27415440
The routes east of Laverre are some of the best routes we've gotten, though. All the others are meh.

Nothing trumps Unova routes, though, except for some Hoenn and Kanto routes. You can't outshine that god-tier B2W2 Victory Road.

>>27415501
I enjoyed XY and somewhat enjoyed ORAS but they were still a disappointment.

Just because someone is a smart consumer doesn't means you should bitch here anon.

>>27415680
>explore shit
What did he mean by this

>>27413836
it was to show you that pokemon is now in 3D, anon

>>27415347
Fuck Kanto route 1
>Have to walk into it to meet the professor and get a pokemon
>Have to walk through it three times cause hurr durr package pick up

>>27415945
But anon they have sick ledges to make the trip back different

Gen 5 was the worst gen

>>27416287
Good argument anon

>>27416287
10/10 best argument

>>27415680
>explore shit
I don't disagree.

>>27413914
>we will never get seasons again

I seriously doubt "one" is "most".

Wasn't the purpose of this so you don't encounter a wild Pokemon before getting your starter and pokeballs?

>>27416503
But why does this have to be a separate route/town
