I like the gen 1 starters the least

Besides Rhyperior, all the sinnoh cross evos were great

The digimon anime makes the pokemon anime look absolutely worthless. They're so different but they get compared so often that its painfully noticable.

I like that people are happy with the pokemon anime, but I find it disgusting when they act arrogant. Hell even shit like dub vs sub is sad.

Some of us dont care enough about the cartoon to pull up the subbed version, why should it matter if we dont care? Its the same with anime in general, I just don't care enough about cartoons to eliminate my ability to use tabs

Pokemon could potentially have a great anime but they are too stuck in their ways, will always be eternally mediocre other then team rocket who are enjoyable.

The generations episodes suck ass and take pokemon way too seriously.

Eevee and the eeveelutions are the most overrated pokemon.

Pikachu and greninja are pretty appealing pokemon but they are so forced people hate them for that alone.

Goodra is one of the worst pokemon for the fact it ruined potentially one of the best lines in the series.

Golurk has the best design in the series.

Explorers of the sky is the best pokemon game.

There is no real reason to play R/B/Y and G/S/C other then simple nostalgia, remakes are supperior.

>>29548623
Anon, Sinnoh nostalgia is a thing these days.

>>29548624
Even the worst digimon seasons make pokemon look pretty pathetic. And I don't know about you but on a recent digimon binge, Adventure didn't hold up as well as tamers, way too many unsympathetic character moments and random wastes of time (Yamato and Mimi are the prime offenders and Sora should have been dropped entirely)

I don't really want Gen 4 remakes. Not only do I think the Gen 4 dex is objectively bad (outside of, what, the starters and the ghost balloons), but when the games came out I was in middle school, and they remind me of my shithead preteen years trying to vigorously prove myself too mature for my childhood. I don't know whether it was that stage of my life or the fact that D+P sucked so hard that I was turned off to Pokemon until BW2 came out.

I mean me too thanks.

I guess I can agree with that, even as painful as saver was.
And I also did binge all of digimon early this year (yes all the way to young hunters and all movies) and I had the opposite reaction, Adventure is the only one that holds up. Never cared for tamers and I rather dislike it now.

>>29548645
I know people can have nostalgia for the games, I just dont think "they only like it because nostalgia" can apply to FRLG onwards.

It's just a way to give yourself an argument that cant be refuted either way since any response can be dismissed as proving the point.

You don't honestly believe that do you?

I thought it was generally agreed that the only reason to play RBY over FRLG is glitch shenanigans. I mean, nostalgiafags would disagree, but who takes them seriously anyway?

>>29548313
Same, I feel like the hoodie thing is what ruins it for me

>>29548806
Why wouldnt I believe that?
And yes I am.

>>29548125
I think Kalos was good as a region because they did a good job of catching the essence of France, but the lack of lore besides cover legendaries and random electronic music (that were good but didn't fit) are the things that ruined it.

>>29548725
Oh I keep forgetting that whole ordeal even happened.
It would have been interesting if the digital world were a fictional plane and the exit from it was a one-way road, but no they have to enter because of the status quo, and a character has a forced appearance because of marketing.
These are horrible, annoying, very POKEMON things to do that really got in the way of the show.

Tamers made the fanbase dumb and obnoxious too, people still think Guilmon needs to fuse with a human to have gallantmon/dukemon as a mega/ultimate, I have no idea WHY the series decided to make the final evolutions require humans merging.

The game makes no sense currently

I like Goo.dra unironically and I don't want to fuck it.
Its pre-evos were better, but I still like it.

>>29548644
>here is no real reason to play R/B/Y and G/S/C other then simple nostalgia, remakes are supperior.
While the remakes for G/S/C do add more content and features, I see myself playing G/S/C more than HGSS because the aesthetic is way more appealing. The colors and sound font they used are great and the sprites are some of the best in the series.

There are no pokemon that deserve to be removed. If I had the ability to, I wouldn't even delete my least favorite, because I know there's at least one person out there who loves it.

>>29548828
>I have no idea WHY the series decided to make the final evolutions require humans merging.
It was the natural step up.
The crests shared emotions with the digimon.
Jogress did some kind of mental merge with the tamers.
Then the tamers fuse with the digimon.
Then frontier happened and people hated it.

>>29548892
I think Frontier handled character relationships brilliantly, and the animation for the evolutions was fantastic
But that's about it. If it wasn't outright bad it was boring
The use of previous digimon appearing in the wild did nothing when they did it for every season

I like Mega Evolutions due to making useful Pokémon that were otherwise overlooked.

I didn't like Z-move's inclusion due to the fact that if it's wasted on type immunities and Protect means that there will be a lot of ragequitting this Gen.

>>29549147
Implying zmoves are affected by protect

>>29548125
Salamence is ugly. Even in RS it appeared to have an oversimplified design. No detail on its wings? They look like pieces of plastic glued to its back.

At first, I chalked it up to the limitations of the GBA screen resolution. "Surely it will look better with better graphics." But then Colosseum, XD, and DP happened, and Salamence still has the same retarded glued-on wings. It's even worse in X&Y, since they can't even make it look like it flies in a convincing manner.

Salamence has always looked like total ass, and Mega Salamence being the strongest non-legendary Mega just put its ugly ass in the spotlight even more...

Neither do I. Great story told by the evolutions, shit design.

Okay I'll go.

RBY and GSC are completely worth playing along side FRLG and HGSS outside of nostalgia as both give different experiences than their remakes

RBY Freeze was bullshit but it was fun bullshit

I legitmately love Pikachu

Pre Phys/Spec split shenanigans are incredibly fun to fuck around with, especially with Pokémon like Ledian

Johto's Pokémon are great and it's has so,e of my favorite additions to the dex

Johto's leveling and experience distribution don't bother me and it still manages to be my favorite gen both GSC and HGSS

Hoenn is the only generation i've actively disliked playing despite it having some of my favorite Pokémon.

Gen 4's cross gen evos are all great follow ups to their prevos

Cynthia was the most fun I had fighting a champion and she's now my favorite fight in the series.

I like a majority of Gen 5's Pokémon and even when BW2 gave me the option to use older mons I still choose Unova Pokémon
Megas are good and XY was lots of fun even if the exp. share made it ""easy""

Incineroar is my favorite design from gen 7, I loved him since the leaks in June and seeing him animated in action only made me love him more.

I bet you use the undercut with thick frame glasses and use UU teams in OU battles, right?

I don't mind how easy the 6th Gen games were.

Even though I say that, I totally understand that other people like to challenge themselves. So I do think that it's dumb that Game Freak doesn't seem to want to put Challenge Mode in every game.

I think B2W2 were worse than their predecessors, mainly because having a new storyline over an old region didn't sit well with me; the world-building on the existing region felt stunted, thanks to the offscreen earthquake that took away old passageways to add new ones, in turn making the region feel unfamiliar and foreign while the game acts as if nothing happened. The change never gets addressed. Playing as a different protagonist with a new order of events than the first games only added to the issue.
The expansion of the Pokedex, White TreeHollow/Black Tower, and Join Avenue were all great, but the change in region and plot felt like a slap in the face.

Also, the fact that you can't complete the national pokedex despite having all four Gen V games really pissed me off.

RBY has better TMs than FRLG. GSC had some shitty TMs, but the infinite supply of elemental punches all but make up for it.

Both RBY and GSC utilize the stat exp system, and Natures don't exist. This means that you can catch any cool Pokemon and use it without worrying about it being inferior to another of its species, and use it in any battle without worrying about messing up its stats. This is a simple joy that has been totally gone from the experience of playing Pokemon, since RSE ruined the series. Crystal has the best sprites in the entire series, and it has very rich colors. Nothing looks washed-out.

>>29548704
This is a popular opinion on /vp/. I dunno if there are enough nostalgic millennial normies who actually care/want DP remakes for this to qualify as an unpopular opinion.

Hopefully GF is listening.

>>29549582
>thanks to the offscreen earthquake that took away old passageways to add new ones

You do realise you can do this in any game right? It's not exclusive to gen 1 and 2. With that said gen 1 and 2 in particular don't allow for it in Pvp simply due to the fact that there's no way to monitor or gauge IVs like there has been since gen 3, and yes they did exist in gen 1 and 2. If you want to play against another player in those gens you'll always be wary of your pokemon and that unknown factor.

That joy you have is simply nostalgia.

Nah, gen 4 is one of the most disliked games for fairly good reasons like the speed, dex, story and what not. It's one of the few games that should have a remake in order to fix it.

I just think it didn't make a very big impression.

>>29550567
Platinum actually fixed most of that

>>29549846
No one in gen 1 or 2 cared about DVs, unless you were playing Netbattle.

In the real game they didn't matter. Make sure none of your physical attackers were female and you were good.

In fact, even when they switched to IVs, no one but the turbo autists stopped to care about them until you got to gen 5. Before that, it wasn't worth the effort for those few stat points.

Only Smogonfags who didn't play the real games would unironically care about DVs and IVs in gen 1-4.

I used to play with my buds on stadium 2 a fair amount and we all bred for stats, although perfection wasn't necessary

Also in stadium, the DVs your pokemon had changed its color

I find RBY the most forgettable in the series

>>29550549
Maybe because its stats are just +10 to all Rhydon's stats.

>>29550745
Literally me.

Hoenn has a nice soot route, and Meteor Falls is a great cave, but aside from that it is a horribly bland region. Everything is the same shade of green or blue.

At least Kanto and Johto, when they were new, were primitive enough that you could use your imagination.

>>29550760
It was not easy to breed for gen 2 DVs. You still had to use an external website to calculate. You had to type in all your stats for each level-up. You couldn't get enough Rare Candies in a single save file to make it easy on yourself.

Yes, there were only 4 DVs and thus it was easier, but it was still a royal pain in the ass.

And I know about the color thing, but for me, I liked the surprise of finding out what color my Pokemon would be in Stadium. I definitely didn't try to shoot for a certain color.

If Pokemon didn't hold any emotional connection to me, I'd have dropped this series like a bad habit years ago due to its exceedingly poor design choices that other companies would never get a free pass for.

If by that, you mean THE best team, it's not an unpopular opinion. It's the objective truth.

>>29552046
It's actually because of how big and immersive it looks, honest. I genuinely love the series in full 3D and think it benefits the most from the change made.

XYZ isn't a good show, it just has decent animation and pretty stills.
The emotional moments are incredibly forced and rushed, I can't take anyone seriously.

I can't admire the Ash Ketchum character, he has a canon storyline but its treated like he doesnt, so the character as a whole is sort of hard to summarize. For a while it seemed like he was getting less and less expressive, and by the time SM comes out I wont be interested to watch


It really feels like, and I hate to accuse this, that the people who watch it dont watch a lot of other television or read any books, at least the ones that say that it lands somewhere on the "Good" side of the spectrum

People who like Amour and Serena are incredibly annoying now, people only think they're trolling because they're on 4chan and are entirely ignorant that the genuine article amourfan is just as obnoxious even in an environment where they're not allowed to cry "SHITPOSTER"

>>29548480
> I don't really get the appeal of arcanine
It's a giant fluffy dog, it's my favorite color, and the fire type appeals to the ten-year-old in me. It also doesn't look ugly or awkward or anything. It's nothing fancy, but that's why it's so likable.

And if you don't like it, that's fine by me.

No. That's what we call nostalgia.

There are far better looking games on the GB/C than pokemon after all that retain the same feel. Also GSC lost a degree of detail that RBY had.

>>29550216
> It's clear that the first stage is almost always the first to be designed
I think you're exaggerating this one. Maybe you could argue that it's common in the more modern games, but even then, I'd say it's only about two-thirds of them.

But you're correct that the majority of pokémon look worse when they evolve. I'd say this applies doubly to modern gens.

>>29549329
>I like a majority of Gen 5's Pokémon and even when BW2 gave me the option to use older mons I still choose Unova Pokémon

Pretty much how I almost always play BW2. Even in Nuzlockes.

I think Gen 5 has some of the coolest Pokemon in the series (Samurott, Archeops, Gigalith, Eelektross, Scolipede, Golurk, Hydreigon, Volcarona, Krookodile, I even like Vanilluxe a lot).

I don't actively dislike many Pokemon, if any. I wouldn't remove any either.

It's fat. It looks like it just drinks beer and watches TV all day, instead of destroying Tokyo like it did when it was younger. Can you imagine it stomping on shit, like you can with Rhydon? Not with its feet being that far apart. It looks like it might be able to waddle its way around if you give it enough time. It barely even looks like it can punch you.

It's like Emboar. Fat, ugly, and awkward, and yet we're supposed to think it's tough and ferocious. Maybe there's something wrong with Japanese culture that makes them think fat people are strong.

> but it can shoot rocks out of its arms!
Being strong isn't the same as looking strong, and people are usually more interested in the latter.

>>29551035
Thats not unpopular at all.
The anime IS braindead and for literal kids, this is fact.

>>29551851
Emotional?
Is a pokemon your girlfriend?

The anime is the reason normies hated on pokemon for a period. Especially those that never touched the games because its more accessible.
I see no reason to watch it since every reason to watch it is better represented in other shows

I don't exactly know what a nuzlocke/egglocke/randomizer/whateverthefucklock is. They should stupid af and I refuse to ever do one. Just play the fucking game the way it was intended (though I do respect that people want a challenge and find ways to do so but still..)

>>29548125
Pokemon X and Y were pretty good.

Kalos is the comfiest region and has the best music.

>>29552241
I agree with all of this.

The art style for generations is so bad and soulless. Same with Origins.

I can't fathom why Pokemon just shits the bed whenever it comes to animation.

Anti-flygon shitposters are some of the most obnoxious people on this board.

In fact I wonder if it's one guy spamming this.

>>29551019
Well I guess 'easy' is qualitative. It took me 3-4 hours to produce a trained pokemon with 13+ in all DVs, which in my opinion is not too long. Not as fast as now, where it takes around half that time to get a 5 perfect IV pokemon, but certainly faster than any of gens 3 through 5 (without using seeding tricks)

>>29553145
Nah, I was playing Volt White 2 earlier today and ran into a Trapinch. I was just reminded of Flygon.

I feel like the only one that only cares about the games, this board is 99% pokegirls/anime shit now.
Well its lower lately because of all the info for the new games but once they release we will be back to that shit.
/vp/ was a mistake the worthwhile posts could be contained in a single general

>>29553218
I agree sort of. And most game discussion is just shitposting (WHY IS THE OWL A GHOST) or genwars. I wouldn't mind this board being deleted even though it's the only place I browse on this site anymore.

The drawthread's really good though at least.

The literal only reason I keep playing Pokemon is because you can transfer your Pokemon over from previous games. If they ever stop doing that, I'm dropping the franchise forever.

Mega Charizard Y >>>>> Mega Charizard X

>>29553151
>It took me 3-4 hours to produce a trained pokemon with 13+ in all DVs,
You got extremely lucky. The odds and resources were stacked against you whereas in gens 3 and onwards gave you several methods seeing and manipulating those values. Gen 2 didn't you were solely at the behest of the RNG.

>>29553258
If it makes you feel better we'll never have a repeat of the hardware complications that prevented transfer from 2 to 3 because of current technologies and bank.

>>29553307
I'll admit that does give me a lot of reassurance, but I just fear that one day they may have to do something similar for whatever reason

Gen 5 pokemon designs had a high ratio of badly designed and overdesigned pokemon(but it also contains some of my favorites, ironically)
I prefer overdesigned pokemon to real-life animal color swap-mons.
I always liked the drastic changes of each evolution line, with pikipek's line being the sole exception.

I wish there was more art of the Kalos and Alola Starters acting like an RPG party. I think there would be great chemistry between the two trios.

Unpopular opinions for both vp and outside the boards:

I played gen 1 first and the P/HGSS/BW1/2 were the best main games. Colosseum/XD/PMD EiS are the best spin offs.

Gen 5 has good designs overall.

FR/LG are not the worst remakes. ORAS is worst than the originals to me.

Gen 4 have the worst designs.

I want to see cross evos and babies again.

Most of the legendaries after gen 3 don't interest me at all.

I like the gen 2 and gen 5 starters,Charizard, Pikachu,Mewtwo,Lucario and Greninja.

Red is the most overrated character ever. People saying that he has" personality" make me laugh. Wes from Colosseum showed more "personality" in the fucking intro than Red did in the series. The fight with Giovanni in Origins was also shit.

I prefer Crystal's design but I like Lyra's as well.

Blue's rematch in FR/LG, Evice,Cipher admins in Colosseum are the best bosses in the series.

Just because a pokemon might have some "lores" doesn't mean it has a good design. I remember people hating on Alolan Dugtrio then loving them after people it was based on Pele's hair. Rhyperior being based on a construction worker, Klefki being based on fairies stealing items don't make their designs "better" either.

I don't see why the fanbase call genwunners the "cancer" of the fanbase since the true genwunners don't play the new games besides Go and are for the most part, not part of the fanbase anymore.
Hoennbabies and people calling people who don't like a new design genwunners are worst.

I hate gen 6 but Kalos is okay as a region.
Hoenn is fucking overrated and bad after Lilycove City because of water.
Fuck the Mt Coronet and these damn HMs.

I don't see why people love Team Magma, Aqua and Galactic. Also ORAS Tabitha, Archie and Shelly have worst designs/outfits than the originals, though I like ORAS Shelly.

I love the BF but I want to see stuffs like Pokéstudios, Pokéathlon, etc... more.

I use my favorites when I play competitively.

The anime is bad overall but I don't hate it.

>>29553421
I grew to love Bidoof/Bibarel. He pushed every rock, cut down every tree, forded every river, and he was still surprisingly good in a fight when it came down to it. He was the team's roadie, it's real MVP.

I don't care about Ballio, but Roothoot is fucking ugly.

>>29553421
I don't like its design but I like Bidoof better when I played PMD Explorers of Sky.

>>29554033

Generally agree, I do also think most serious Genwunners arent the fanbase anymore, and Hoennbabbies and newgenners are worse

>I played gen 1 first and the P/HGSS/BW1/2 were the best main games. Colosseum/XD/PMD EiS are the best spin offs.

>>29554390

I actually have already seen some people outside of /vp/ who hate/despise gen 5 for whatever reasons but I guess you might be right.

>>29548125
Using a legendary in-game or online, not matter how shitty it is, is scummy as fuck and should be looked down upon. There are a few exceptions, but shit like box legendaries and mythicals are absolutely off-limits.

>>29554749
I think the problem is that there's really no in-between between goat designs and shit designs with Gen V. You can post shit like Galvantula, Golurk, Cofagrigus, Bisharp, and Whimsicott and everyone will generally agree that those Pokemon are great, but then you post ones like the monkeys, Basculin, the Musketeers and the Genies and most people will say they're shit. There are a lot less designs that people are just indifferent to.

Anyone who actually thought Ash was gonna win the league in the anime shouldn't be allowed to think

Anyone who also believes in the "THE END OF POKEMON?!?!" theory also shouldn't be allowed to think.

Pokemon Go, is alright. A bunch of faggots jumped aboard and pretended to be fans for a few months, but the game's alright. Niantic is making retarded choices, but the game's fine.

>>29554526

Explain yourself. Prove to me that this is a serious opinion and not just the most contrarian thing you could come up with for the sake of posting it.

Metagross is actually one of my all-time favorites, I have a soft spot for a lot of the pseduo-legends because of the work I put into getting them as a kid. To me Metagross just looks like a badass computer monster, and it's not terrible competitively.

>>29556542
I like megas, thought hordes were an interesting addition. Almost all of the kalos pokemon had good designs. Fairy was a great new type. The region itself had a great atmosphere and for the first time ever i actually enjoyed the characters and their story. The new controls, streamlined menus, and diaganol movement were long overdue as well. Character customization was so good, i hated oras just because it didnt have it.

>>29556766
I have a tendency to like generally disliked Pokemon, and vice versa.

But it may just be a design thing. I love Magneton and Doublade, but not Aegislash and Magnezone.

Pardon me sir, but you do know that a man named Steven Stone exists, right?

>>29559119
Steven has 2 pokemon that are really any level of threat, is the issue.
Skarmory, because it's one of the best physical walls in the series.
And Metagross because it was an incredibly amazing type with Psuedo stats.
His team got better in ORAS, due to changes to the actual mons.
Still third best champion.
I'm not the samefag, because Goodra was horribly underwhelming, I didn't know Kalos has a Pseudo for months.

>>29559119
I guess I kinda forgot about Steven. He comes third.

even with all the hordes and amie and power training I still can't be bother to play VGC because its so fucking tedious grinding the mansion to get your moves.

I don't have a problem with smogon, because I have a job and can't play other metas.

>>29556099
The faggots were the best part though.

You could go to any random cafe/bar/plaza/park and everyone was doing the same thing you were, you didn't even have to wonder. People stopped me on the street to ask if I knew where the X was, it was fucking awesome.

>>29559250
I love Goodra, she's a great wall with stupidly good type coverage on special attacks and a pretty interesting design (and should be poison type).
Noivern is the obvious pseudo.

Generation 5 was the crown jewel of the pokemon series and is the absolute peak of quality pokemon has reached.
Also the original black and white are far better than black and white two.

The move away from pixel art was an absolute tragedy. Hopefully after the 3ds gets replaced with a different gimmick, the models will leave with it.

The dumpy art and limited colors of the original games gave them a nice mysterious feel that later installments really haven't been able to capture. In a way the glitches actually make the game feel more deep and interesting.

The sun and moon legendaries are over designed. I do not use that word lightly.

Minor variations in color and size would be extremely good for the series.
