Gen 1 (Gameboy): Red/Green/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver
Gen 2 (Gameboy Color): Crystal
Gen 3 (Gameboy Advance): Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and FireRed/LeafGreen
Gen 4 (DS): Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver, Black/White and Black2/White2
Gen 5 (3DS): X/Y, OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire, Sun/Moon
Prove me wrong. Protip: you can't.
>>29437921
Gen 5 was gen 0
>>29438009
You know Gold and Siver are GBC games too, right? It's called backwards compatibility, the fact it can be played on the original GB
>>29437921
The golden era is gen 4 only. Put gen 5 in the "that weird era" and we're set.
>>29437921
Huh, you're actually right.
>>29438087
GO fuck yourself you uncultured swine. Gen 5 is the best thing to have ever happened to the franchise.
>>29437921
Sounds accurate to me.
>>29437921
>Black 2 &White 2
>anything other than shit
kek
>>29438009
Why the fuck would Crystal be in a completely different era from Gold/Silver? You do realize they are essentially the same games, right? This is some new form of weaponized autism.
>>29438087
Except most of gen 4 was shit gameplay wise. Even Platinum gets nostalgia glasses here and was still super slow. HGSS was a minor improvement but again nostalgia glasses are why these games are still so expensive. Gen V was weird in a good way.
>>29437921
I mostly agree with this categorization, but BW had a better story than B2W2 and were just as enjoyable for me. They weren't some awkward new stage of the series, but represent the 2.5D era coming into its maturity after the growing pains with gen 4.

Gen 1 (Gameboy): Red/Green/Blue

Fixed it for you, faggot

1998-2001 was the golden age for me. I played Blue then Yellow then Crystal without ever losing interest or abandoning the franchise. Then I didn't bother buying a GBA until gen 3 dropped and thought the designs were stupid. Sapphire/Emerald was Pokemon's "dark age" for me. I started getting nostalgic for Pokemon again around 2005 and bought GoD and Colosseum for their heavy Johtoddler nostalgia-pandering, and Leafgreen. I've pretty much been up to date with the franchise ever since, but to this day I have never played RSE and thought ORAS were some of the weakest games in the series.
>>29438908
Emerald is good and way better than ORAS. Not even a Hoennbaby.

>Gen 5 is the best thing to have ever happened to the franchise
You're right, Gen 5 is so good that GF forgets it even exists :^)
>>29437921
>BW in Golden era
Yeah, nah. Putting B2W2 in it is already a stretch, much less putting all Gen 5 in it
>>29437921
I have never found myself agreeing completely with someone here. You're the first and you have godly taste sir. Good day to you.
>>29437921
Facts. Straight-up facts.

Spot on

>You am cannot
U wot m8?
>>29437921
Switch Puberty from B/W to HG/SS and you're right.
>>29441308
As GF does with anything good about the franchise
>Remakes and gen 2
>not in nostalgia pandering
>>29437921
I am cannot. You win
>>29437921
i wish this would get posted more often.

Caveman /vp/ thread?
By definition of the word original, gen 2 does not belong in the Original Era.
Put all of gens 2 and 3 in a separate era and only have DP in the Stale Era, and you're golden.
Garbage Era: literally everything
Prove ME wrong. Protip: You can'tbecause your arguments don't count if I'm not listening
>>29437921
Fucking perfect.
>>29441308
Theyve forgotten everything except like 30 gen 1 mons exist.
Unless your Colress or an Eeveelution.
>>29441567
Chunks of Gen II like HEracross were supposed to be in gen one anyway so its closer to original era than anything.
Also all of Kanto is in it too.
>>29441607
Doesn't matter, the majority of gen 2 came after gen 1 and therefore is not part of the origin of Pokemon.
>>29437921
>Emerald
>stale
No. But the rest is okay, I guess.

>He says as Ho Oh flies above in the first anime episode that takes place entirely in gen 1.
>>29441672
>>anime
>>29441672
I guess Blaziken is part of gen 2 because it first showed up in the Johto league.
Anime means nothing, anon.

>>29441688
>>29441714
What if its all just one long gen spread out over the years
