The pinnacle of the series. It's over. This was the MBDTF of Pokemon. Everything after it will never be as amazing.
Try playing BW2.

>babbys first bait
cmon you can do better, hit me with something that really triggers me
I really miss pokemon following you, but that gets increasingly harder and harder to do with the amount of pokemon/forms that you can have.
Lots of cool features but there's nothing "amazing" about a remake.
>>28522925
We only love this game so much because your pets follow you. Imagine they did that now in the newer gens while also being able to pet them.

Great but not on the same level.
HGSS is a masterpiece.
>>28523012
kek
it had by far the best gameplay and post game os any series
b/w2 came close though
>copypaste battle frontier
>johtoshit
The pinnacle of Pokemon is RBY and it's remakes FRLG, meaning the series will only be good if the finally remake Gen1 again.
>>28523084
of any game in the series*
>>28522925
Here's hoping Sun/Moon will challenge them for the #1 spot.
Remonder that everytime there's been a strawpoll on here, Heartgold and Soulsilver came out on top beating every game including bw2.
Go search in the archives for the polls if you don't believe me.
I FANTASIZED BOUT THIS BACK IN JOHTO
>>28523052

>masterpiece
Nice bait.I have better bait though.
ORAS are better games then HGSS.
>>28523084
>best gameplay
>that god awful level curve
GSC/HGSS are the only Pokemon games that punish you for trying to build a full team. Not. Only that but it has nearly no variety in Pokemon until you're past the fourth gym. The only thing Johto has going for it atmosphere.
>>28523154
But /vp/ is full of hipsters with shit taste. I wouldn't trust any poll on here
>>28522925
totally love these games and their atmosphere.
I fucking can't stand E/R/S and D/P/P so far.
I wonder if I will hate B/W1 and B/W2.
>>28523222
As a non-hipster, HGSS was my favorite.
My credentials: Charizard is my favorite Pokemon.
>>28522925
Agreed. Out of all the games in the series, this is the one I had the most hours on. Played through it eight times and it's amazing every time. GameFreak outdid the shit out itself on these games.
>>28523222
>But /vp/ is full of hipsters with shit taste.
Which is why everybody now sucks BW2's dick in spite of their poor sales relative to the rest of the series.
>>28522925
>mbdtf
but HGSS was actually good
GB sounds were the only way to play and sadly it's missing from the oras remakes. I want my fucking heavy hitting trumpets in oras, and it's just not there.
>>28523322
how does anyone even defend that pile of trash
>>28523359
I have no idea. It added mega forms and a bit of story, day/night and that's it.
Terrible terrible remakes compared to fr/lg/hg/ss
>>28523359
It's better than XY and DexNav was fun.
>>28523103
Anybody who likes FRLG is OK in my book.
>>28522925

im a massive bw2 fag but I agree that hgss simply edges it out by a tiny amount simply due to a better postgame
>barren region
>fuck-all pokemon distribution
>horrid level curve
okay, nostalgiafag
>>28522925
Do you know that Sun in alchemy represents both, Heart and Gold, and Moon represents Soul and Silver?
And what you get when you put both of them together?
Platinum.Go play Pokemon Platinum, it's great
>>28523103
*praying this is bait.
Oh bugger all, have your (you).
IM SORRY?! BARREN REGION. Johto is by far the best designed region. BY FAR. its not got any graphical issues ie Unova, and its not as boring as Kalos and isnt as water as hoenn. The pokemon distribution makes rare pokemon actually feel rare. I cant comment on the level curve because i dont care
HGSS was shit though
>>28524049
This. Platinum is easily the superior game to HG/SS, but BW2 is better than both anyway.
>>28522925
I'm flabbergasted you can post this in DM hype season.
>>28524111

this such terrible bait, newfriend

>>28522925
>Not Explorers of Sky
Nice bait faggot.
But overall yeah, Gen 4 still the best one.
>>28522925
t.someone who hasn't played BW2 or just played HGSS during their highschool days and feel nostalgic about it.
>>28524111
the worst seems to be Sinnoh. like wtf is that shit, dude. that region is pure dogshit.
Johto feels more like home compared to the rest.
>>28523302
>he thinks sales is a good way to judge quality
You must think No Man's Sky is a masterpiece, huh?
>>28523052
try playing through HGSS again
take off the nostalgia goggles this time
Stopped playing at rubin edition, want to get back into pokemons. Am i good to start with sun and moon or am i missing something out in the gens that got realeased since then.
>>28524809
Just play BW2 and you'll be good. Don't listen to the idiots calling HGSS a masterpiece, they're just nostalgiafagging and can't remember all the flaws of the game like things this anon listed >>28524049
>>28523052
ORAS were better
>>28523667
Then why come here?
It's obvious that oras is the new peak of the series nostalgiafags just can't accept it
>>28522925
I liked Emerald more desu. Not to be a Hoennfag or anything but Emerald has a really nice level curve and okay difficulty.
>Gen I: College Dropout
>Gen II: Late Registration
>Gen III: Graduation
>Gen IV: 808s and Heartbreak
>Gen V: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
>Gen VI: Yeezus
They seem to line up pretty well. But will Gen VII be The Life of Pablo?
>>28525291
Kanye the GOAT
People unironically like BW2? It takes ten hours to be able to do whatever you want without being dragged around by npcs.
>>28524283
>Sinnoh
>Bad, let alone worst.
I think you mean Hoenn.
Nice level curve

>barren region
Are you fucking stupid? The regions had a ton of shit to do.
I've played BW2 and its post game is worse than HGSS.
I thought HG/SS were the best but then White came out and now that's my all-time favorite.
While I don't think OR/AS was better, I did grow to appreciate the differences it took, rather than redo things like HG/SS did.
But who knows, maybe the Gen 4 remakes will be better.
>>28525733
It was bait, you absolute faggot
>>28522925
HG/SS
>shit level curve, one of the most overrated video games
B2W2
>Good, but internet fans make it out to be better than it is
Emerald is the true pinnacle of the series
>>28523038
this
(mbdtf still good tho)
>>28527446
>Implying that there's ever been a pinnacle for pokemon games
Otherwise, good points, anon
hes right
>>28523907
>Better post game
Why? All of the kanto dungeon areas were minimized or removed entirely. This was something that bugged me when i played as a kid.
And even then B2W2 is goat for having an actual hard mode. Thats it. and since no other games can compete with that it's earned it's spot at the top.
>>28524283
Wrong
>>28523503
FRLG were good but it just added bulk to a game that had the right amount of content. The Sevii Islands didn't provide much of substance and there was no Battle Tower.
>>28525291
>>Gen IV: 808s and Heartbreak
too true
>>28525649
I prefer Hoenn. Sinnoh's a slog. Hoenn has too much water but that's easily fixable by buying Repels. You can't fix Sinnoh's pacing problem.
>>28523207
the "no variety in pokemon" meme needs to end. there are a shitton of pokemon you can catch right after the first gym.
Am I the only one that preferred the original 2nd gen over the HG/SS remakes? I mean, they weren't bad but I'm not a fan of the pokemon following gimmick and the 4th gen engine was shit (so abysmally fucking slow). Crystal is still my GOAT.
>>28522925
>literally the worst Pokemon games
Nostalgia fags are the worse
