>>30839343
I want to vote for IV but DP kinda drags down its overall quality

Voted 4 best, 3 worst.

I voted the same Gen for both

>IV is best
>VI is worst

Hate this meme

Generation 5 is officially the best Generation to troll with.

Simultaneously ranked both the best and the worst gen in each poll.

Best: IV. Worst:VI.

>>30839343

polls close at 1000 up-ducks.

>>30839407

the opinions of the weak are always lost to history

gen V: pixilated garbage

Is Gen IV being the least liked generation a meme? It's doing pretty well in the poll.

>>30839821
>DP is bad
>HGSS are good but overrated
Platinum saves the whole generation Desu.

>>30839821
Its the premake hype seaping through. Same thing happened with gen3 remakes

>Gen lV
Pros:
>Introduced GTS and online features
>Physical/special split
>Has Pt and HG/SS
>Excellent OST
>Pretty good difficulty
>Good postgame
>Pokeradar
>Following pokemon
Flaws:
>DP
>Cancerous sinnohfetuses

Someway I feel it's the best gen but I hate DP and fucking sinnohfetuses.
I should have voted for Vll or V instead.

>>30839896
I keep seeing people (possibly one person) claim that everyone hates Gen IV including Platinum and that it's objectively the lowest regarded generation.

>>30839821
It's HGSS saving that shitty ass gen.

>>30839916
No, at least not for me. I've loved gen IV since Platinum.

>>30839953

6 was bad but generation one has aged horribly. It shouldn't get a pass.

>>30839931
Funny how many positive things I forgot about gen IV due to how dull the main game was.

>>30840042
One wasn't THAT bad anon. Not to mention it started the series. Gen 6 as a whole was pretty shit

>>30840079
I've only played through Gen 6 once, their respective days of release, and I didn't think they were too bad. They are just decent.

KEEP FIGHTING

OP IS ENTERTAINED

>gen iv is voted best

hell yes contrarians gtfo

>>30840026

6 was underwhelming as fuck, but it's still mechanically superior to both generations surrounding it even in spite of being rushed.

>>30839343
this poll will die like all polls that require captcha. meanwhile polls that don't will get botted to hell by shitposters and be taken seriously. worst part is botting captcha strawpolls isn't even that hard either, and it's pretty obvious that such a thing has already happened considering gen v is in second place in the worst poll.

>>30840172

btw it's a minute on this board. just felt ya should know

Gen VI would have been alright had it not been for those stupid motherfucking retarded "friend" characters, I'm talking about the dumb fat one and the nerd faggot. Shauna was cute but still annoying as fuck too.
Other than that X and Y were pretty good.
AS and OR were amazing but some changes from the originals felt insulting. And speaking of insults, how hard was it to include the fucking Battle Frontier? They have millions, how lazy and greedy do you have to be? Fuck, it pisses me off.

Gen V was shit, even though I loved those games, and had over 200 hours of fun with each.

Now, gen IV was aesthetic as fuck, had great comfy designs, great pokemon, amazing music, nice story and so many more things that make it the best gen. HG and SS were just too good, only complaint I have is the cartridge sensor needed to use the pokewalker, making the original games expensive as fuck.

Gen I and II get a veteran's discount, while Gen III gets all the shit (which, imo, it deserves for not letting you transfer your old pokés).

I'm sick of captcha constantly giving me street signs and store fronts. Half the time they include the sign post, so you never know to include it or not, and most of the store fronts are just low res signs in languages I can't read. Fuck captcha.

And of course, that's the captcha I got. This one wasn't as bad as usual though.

But anon, you just need to select 3 of them if they aren't those with a full picture

>>30840425

Sorry, I just really enjoyed them cause I was obsessed with RSE when I was younger.
But I think you're right, they could have been way better.
The only thing about them that I HATED, like really hated, was the Rayquaza scene where you destroy the meteor. The fucking music was complete shit and literally anything would have been more fitting. How the fuck does a human (not a 10 year old, a HUMAN) manage to ride a big ass flying serpent, go out to space and just fly through a fucking meteor, just sitting in its back?!

First off, I must acknowledge the repeating digits.

Okay, objectively you have a defensible point. However, like this anon stated: >>30841646 you have to consider that there were very real technological limitations. RBGY were great games for the time and system. People still enjoy gameboy games today though, so I don't think your point is very strong to begin with. Hell, I'm currently trying to get 100% on Kirby's Adventure in the Extra Game mode I seriously want to fucking die the fast Waddledees keep fucking me up and its emasculating . Just because a game is old doesn't mean it can't be just as fun as current games.

>>30839343
Voted 2 for best and 4 for worst.

>>30841864
This.
One has to always consider the time standards when a game was released.

>>30839343

I dislike gen 5 as well but BW2 > anything gen 6 has to offer.

File: If you don't choose Chimchar....jpg (75KB, 400x400px) Image search: [Google]

75KB, 400x400px

5.5 is best but it wasn't an option so I selected 5

4 is easily worst.

The Pokedex was stupid and was made with no foresight. Only 2 Fire types yet the somehow had the balls to make a Fire Elite Four member anyways

A lot of dumb looking Pokemon were added.

Contrary to the meme Cyrus was a dumb villain who's monologues sound like the ramblings of a demented old man in a nursing home.

Last but certainly not least the battle sequences took FOREVER with overlong animations, text that is agonizingly slow even on the fast setting and HP dropped at a crawl.

Gen 1 is objectively the worst. Maybe it WAS good, but that was a long time ago. At this point it is literally unplayable. You may be wishing to factor in nostalgia, but the truth is you are pretty much blinded by it. And as such, the verdict should come from someone else

So gen 5/4 are agreed to be best and gen 6 sucks. Seems about right. I'd put Gen 5 way above gen 4 though since DP were awful and Platinum had to redeem them.

>>30839343
Gen 2 is the best because without it, we wouldn't be here. Gen 1 was extremely shitty in every way, its only redeeming quality was as a proof of concept. It wasn't until Gen 2 that the games actually became good. Anyone who is old enough to have played Gen 1 on the original gameboy will remember how awe-inspiring it was to see Gen 2 gameplay and commercials and to see Donphan for the first time in the pokemon movie. Not only did we get a whole set of new pokemon in Gen 2, we got weather, a new region, better graphics, and fucking COLOR! All in one generation. In terms of technical improvement between games in the series, Gen 1 to Gen 2 is unrivaled.

If Gen 2 had been terrible, the pokemon fad would have died out within a year of its release and we wouldn't have ever had Crystal, or Ruby/Sapphire. At least not in the same way, with the same budget, or with the same resources devoted to it. It is Nintendo's highest grossing series and that is mostly because Gen 2 was so technically impressive compared to its predecessor.

>>30841622
gen VI introduced mega evolution, fairy types, ugly ass graphics, and some really strange (read: fucking bad) canon into the series. I hate it more than any other game by far. It introduced crap concepts that ruined the fucking game both competitively and in lore.

>>30840507
>He doesn't use legacy captcha
What, can't type at a reasonable speed?

>>30842714
>the pokemon fad would have died out within a year of its release
But it did. That's why we can see a steep drop in interest between GS and crystal as opposed to a gradual decline.
A fad dying doesn't mean the whole ship goes down you know.

>>30842337
I just played the VC re-release after not having touched the games in 18 years.

They held up fine. Yeah, not the best in the series by a long shot, and honestly, they are the worst now simply due to the lack of QOL features, ugly as fuck spritework, etc.

But, they are not bad at all. Being the worst in a great series is not bad.

>There are 6 people that actually think Gen VI was the best gen.
I can forgive the hopeless Genwunners, and I didn't HATE XY/ORAS, but you've gotta have been ignoring too many games to think that they were the best gamefreak's put out for the franchise.

Those are my three favorite generations. I feel ashamed for having similar taste to /vp/.

>>30841864
>However, like this anon stated: >>30841646 # you have to consider that there were very real technological limitations.
Just so you know that doesn't mean the game and half of its mechanics shouldn't be working as intended. I'd understand if they were issues that you'd have to actively seeking our like say the minus world glitch in Mario that require you to do things the developers didn't think ofor doing themselves but the mechanics in gen 1 are hilariously broken especially in early builds to the point where it can affect the multiplayer side of the game.

Not to mention for the time it was a very barebones RPG. If it weren't for the anime it certainly wouldn't have taken off as it did

>>30842766
>>30842867
Same here. Thanks. New captcha is fucking annoying

>>30842877

>>30842893
I agree to an extent. I'm not saying RBGY is super high on my list, but it gets a lot of shit here. I think the fact that a lot of people genuinely enjoy them regardless of nostalgia factor disputes the "literally unplayabe" meme that gets flung around. Some of the glitches like types not working the way they should are obviously just fucking silly, not going to dispute that.

>>30839343
voted 4 for best because even though DP sucked, Pt and HGSS were awesome.
6 for worst because it had no Z to redeem it.

>>30843120

Are you implying that you started before Sinnoh and are basing your decision entirely on that? Are you admitting that you're such a retard you can only support the game you have the most nostalgia for?

I preordered that game, and played the fuck out of it after putting several hundred hours in diamond. My stupid fucking bipolar 11-13 fuck off I'm an actual adult year-old self decided to sell a good portion of my games though, and Platinum got the axe. I still have the Giratina figurine though, and I love it. Did anyone else go through that "fuck *thing I enjoy* it's for gay babies" phase? I'd strangle myself if I could time travel. Maybe then I'd be able to kill myself :(

>>30843120
As much as the Sinnohfetus meme gets thrown around, I'd be surprised if there were actually that many people who played it as the first in the series. I've seen several people who started with the originals say Gen IV is their favorite.

>>30843194
>Did anyone else go through that "fuck *thing I enjoy* it's for gay babies" phase
I did that between Sapphire and Platinum, but when DP came out pokemon became cool again around my counter-culture high school friends, so I got back into it with Platinum. I remember I got it for Christmas, but my parents didn't know I didn't have a DS, so I had to save up money for months before I could buy a DS myself and play it. Those months were torture.

>>30843120
I've been playing since Yellow was originally released and Sinnoh is my favorite.

Fight me.

>>30843120
>>30843187
I started with Ruby, but only because it took my parents too damn long to get over the "everything in the 90s is satanic" meme. I remember getting teased because I didn't have GSC. Gen IV is still my favorite though. I enjoyed all of the games, and actually had friends to play with then.

Let's be real though, there are a lot of underage kids on 4chan in general. I'd be willing to bet most of-age anons here today have been here since they were underage. It's really only annoying on blue boards like /mu/ and /v/. The really edgy and obviously underage fags stay on the red containment boards.

>>30843257
Shit man, I went through the same thing when the Wii had just come out. I was given SSBB, but my parents didn't know there was a difference between Gamecubes and Wiis. We don't even get to be that salty about it either because it's obvious they meant well and went out of their way for us.

I have a few friends who started with D/P and always try to argue with me when I say Sinnoh is the worst region. They're in their early 20s.

When we say generations are we talking about regions or all the games in that generation? Should I say gen4 is the best because of HG/SS, or would that be considered gen2 due to johto?

>>30843528

I'm 19 and my first game was Platinum. I know quite a few people around my age that also started with Gen 4.

>>30843577
I'd consider it gen 2 because D/P/Pt are so shit they don't deserve to get grouped with the best games.
HG/SS and PMD2 are the only good things to come from gen 4.

Interesting stuff. I'm only familiar with people around my age group (mid to late twenties), most people I know started with Gen I and most of them like Gen IV, some as their favorite. I've seen a couple of people on /vp/ say similar things.

>>30843577
I'm confused about this too. Maybe that's why gen II is so high in the polls.

>>30843593
HGSS weren't even good. Just GS with a shittier engine, worse music and some stapled on gimmicks.

>>30843617

Maybe it's just that Gen 2 is the only generation without a bad or average game in it.

>>30843536
You post this in literally every thread. Stop being autistic and understand that there will always be a decent amount of people who will disagree with you.

>>30843528
Well Diamond and Pearl came out in 2006, and since realistically there are a sizeable amount of even 7th graders on this site right now, and /vp/ has a lot of appeal for kids, yeah. There's probably several lurking this thread. If someone was 6 when these games came out, they'd be 16 now. I've noticed that a lot of people that are challenged for slipping up with dating themselves tend to say they're 19 instead of 18 to hope to avoid a ban. So, if they've posted they probably added some filler shit to the effect of them being significantly older when Sinnoh came out or them starting with RBGY/GSC.

Can't say that I did fortunately enough. I was one of those kids that had like two friends and didn't give a flying fuck.

And nothing has changed.

Eh, I wouldn't say majority as much as vocal minority.

No. The closest I had to that was a large period of time not playing Yugioh, because I had nobody to play against and wasn't aware of DN.

not according to the poll

>>30845414

I voted for IV but it is because of HGSS not Sinnoh. Gen II was the best before they got remade.

>tfw Gen 5 has second place for best games
>tfw all i've ever seen on /vp/ is constant gen 5 bashing

>>30845519
I think this is a case where "vocal minority" >>30845414
actually applies. It's the same few people and/or one really autistic guy trying to start shit.

>>30843865
That's only because people count HGSS as gen 4 instead of 2.

You guys can bash BW all you want, but XY is definitely the WORST pokemon game in the entire franchise. Pokemon Dash tier even.

>>30845574
Pretty much this. HGSS was the saving grace to the gen 4 games even if it had some odd choices itself.

>>30845574
Since one guy said that, I'm sure it's the reason.

>>30843003
>>30843451
The only people who disagree have the unpopular opinion.

Unless you actually think the wider fan base still hates Gen V And HGSS

>>30845519
Look at the worst poll gen5 has nearly as many dislikes then likes.
If we count in absolute. gen 5 stands evn worst then 2,3 and even 7.

>>30845722
All that says is that it's divisive.

>>30845716
>The only people who disagree have the unpopular opinion
The fuck are you even talking about?
That's like saying shit posters are reasonable people because they post excessively and evade bans.

Even this poll isn't an accurate way to gauge what's popular and what isn't because it's ridiculously easy to fake votes.

>>30845795
I never said this poll is accurate. But /vp/ is filled with nornies from pretty much every website so generally you'll get fanbase opinions here, even if its exaggerated.

Like, I may not see as many people call Gen 6 shit elswhere, but I definitely see people saying they were weak entries all over

>>30845821
>but I definitely see people saying they were weak entries all over
You do realise that's pretty much the opposite to the general consensus right?

>>30839343
>Generation I
Great for its time, but has aged horribly. Did a lot of things right, and had a great number of Pokemon with amazing design.

>Generation II
The worst Gen. Worst plot, worst Pokemon, offers nothing good and is overall irrelevant.

>Generation III
Great for its time, but again, aged horribly. Did a lot of great things, such as introducing Hidden Abilities, Battle Frontier and such, and had great Pokemon.

>Generation IV
Physical/Special split alone makes it good, Sinnoh is a beautiful region, Johto isn't mind-numbingly boring anymore, but too many Legendaries, few new Pokemon and slow gameplay. Overall great.

>Generation V
Made a lot of positive changes. The new Pokemon were great in both number and design, a lot of new mechanics such as infinite TMs, EXP scaling, NPCs using items and such were great. Focused on the story with more than 2 lines of dialog for the first time, which was great. Great postgame too. Overall the best.

>Generations VI
Did some things right, and a lot of things wrong. It was too easy, the pacing was shit, skates were shit, exploring was not fun, the story was downgraded, and the characters were bland. But being 3D was a great change, it also introduced customization, Megas, region was good, with each town having a distinct theme, and the new Pokemon were cool. Overall disappointing.

>Generation VII
Only one game so far, so hard to judge on equal terms. The new Pokemon aren't as good, and Alola region is a bit bland, the story and characters are the best in the series, but lack of a skip button is going to make it annoying to replay. Alolan forms is a great concept, and HMs being removed is something the series always needed. Customization is there, the graphics are great. It focuses on battles only, which is both a good and a bad thing. Difficulty has also gone up, and trials are fun. Overall, I enjoyed it. Second to BW, in my opinion.

>>30845845
Not him, but I've seen Gen VI hated a lot on a couple of other forums too

>>30839343
>Gen 5 is the second best and worst at the same time
Always relevant those polls

>>30845845
I joined /vp/ a bit over a year ago and saw Gen 6 hate everywhere even before even coming here.

Never did get why people think its just a /vp/ thing

>>30839343
>Gen 4 and 5 on the fucking top
Top fucking kek, turns out /vp/ has taste after all;

>>30845865
I know, right? I'm pretty surprised as well.

>>30845853
Gen III only introduced abilities in general. Gen V introduced hidden abilities through Dream World and Dream Radar.

>>30845935
Still, Gen III is what made the concept. It deserves the credit for it.

>>30845865
5 is also top in the worst gen poll. Only a part of /vp/ have taste.

>>30845865
>gen5 and 6 on top of the worst poll
/vp/ has perfect taste

>>30845942
I guess I can give credit for that.

>>30845865
Pretty damn shocked myself. And then finding out Gen 6 is the least favorite. That's good. Never been more proud.

>>30845853
The gen that added breeding, female MCs, mini games, held items, battle facilities, weather and the special attack stat is more pointless and worse than the one that just added fairy, customization and megas?

>>30839343
Red and Blue suck ass, and I played them as a child before some retard calls me an Alolasome.

>>30846001
Hm, that is all correct. Those are all great things. Disregard that part about Gen II. When I thought of Gen II, all that came to my mind was a boring region. Generation II deserves more credit.

Common sense says Gen I - its the only ONLY generation that offers you any kind of challenge. Its the only generation you wont beat with starter from beginning to end.

Feelings say Gen II.

So I&II. Fuck the rest, filithy casuals.

>>30846019
Yeah, as far as new mechanics go, 2 and 4 are the most important to me, and then 3 purely for hidden abilities

Gen V was the clear winner last night. So its obvious that the influx of votes calling it the worst is in retaliation to people actually liking it best, right?

I still don't understand why people like it. None of the pokemon games are really BAD but I thought about not playing BW2 because BW was so bland (and holy fuck the gym leaders were almost all shit).

>>30846317
Dunno if it was the clear winner. It kept going back and forth between V and IV but IV was usually ahead.

>>30846348
That's more accurate. Doesn't mean much to me as they are both great

>>30839343
7 best
4 worst

This poll is not fair.
Should have asked which is the best game.
Gen 4 includes sinnoh and johto and since hgss>>>gsc people will vote for gen4. Gen4 are two genfags combined. Gen5 stands on its. look how gen2 is the third highest on its own alone so yeah hgss has a great impact on the votes.
If we do game vote I am sure bw2 would win.

>worst
VI

I am very surprised that gen3 is not number 1... I guess I spend too much time on cheezburger and youtube.

>Gen 1
Laid the foundations for everything but aged like milk.
>Gen2
Boring to play, worst dex ever. However it introduced a lot of important gameplay changes like breeding the Special Attack stat, weather and held items.
>Gen3
The transition point between a worldwide succes to very populat games. Introduced natures, EVs and IVs as well as double battles. Starts the whole "world ending story affected by the box legends" shit. Didn't age that well.
>Gen4
The Physical and Special split is the biggest gameplay change ever. It allows for so many different types of mons to be made. Saved gen2's dex from mediocrity thanks to glorious cross-gen evos. Overwold is pretty hit & miss. Personally for me its a hit.
>Gen5
Most divisive gen ever. Only relevant gameplay change is Hidden Abilities. It had a lot of neat little features and details like Seasons that slightly change the ost of certain routes, hidden grottos, it made gym leaders not sitting ducks and has in my opinion the best soundtrack of all games (mind you the quality of all ost's in the series is pretty even, all of them have at least one memorable tune). It took a lot of risks by limiting the selection of pokemon during thr main story and forcing people to try the new mons. Overwold is even more hit & miss. For me its still a hit though.
>Gen6
Bottom of the barrel. It feels like these games can't stand on their own. Annoying characters everywhere, ridiulous shit like the lucario tower. I can forfive that for the most part. What i can't forgive however are Fairy type and Megas. These two are the single worst changes to the franchise that are gonna plague it until it dies. Megas for being unnatural and squandering their potential of fixing old mons, deciding to just gift them to a lot of already strong pokemon. Fairy for being broken and because its completely unnecesary (if they just wanted to stop dragons they just had to make some good fucking ice types [character limit]

Gen3
>didnt age that well
still very popular in the competitive aspect because of pre special/physical moves so its like the best version of old shool meta

And for your gen6 rant
Fairies were needed because dragons were broken. also megas is a very good concept it helps make shit pokemon actually be usable. Its limited to one mega evo per battle.
Concept wise its fucking great. I wouldnt even mind all pokemon having a mega. as long as all pokemon as a form where its usable that is amazing.

>>30846711
Ssrose is not in the manga = not canon

>>30846783
>I wouldnt even mind all pokemon having a mega. as long as all pokemon as a form where its usable that is amazing.
Not him, but while that's true, nintendo/game freak isn't going to do it.

We'll get like 15 new megas a game (if we even get any more, ever) and there's also the legitimate complaint about it ruining/using design space for a normal evolution.

I don't think it's an awful idea but it's not amazing.

Reminder.

>>30846711
It's hard to claim gen VII is bad when we haven't even seen all of it yet. It's easier to say it's best if you're already enjoyed it more than previous generations though. Nowhere to go but up.

VI is easy to hate because its flaws are still fresh in our minds, whereas the problems of gens I-V don't really effect people anymore.

>>30846987
West Coast confirmed Sinnoh Shills

>>30847132

I don't really think Gen 6 deserves the hate it gets. It's aged very poorly very quickly because GameFreak couldn't into 3D grahics, but it was still the gen that saved Pokemon after the disaster that was Gen 5 before it.

Gen 7 by far tops it though. No question it's the best 3D Pokemon game they've yet made.

>>30847184
>the disaster that was Gen 5

Gen V is currently second place in BOTH polls. It's interesting that it was so polarizing, I wonder why. Is it because it focused so much on story? Why do people strongly like/dislike Gen V?

>>30847218
I don't strongly dislike it. I hate people who treat BW2 as the end all be all of greatness and everything else was shit because they were ok at best

>>30847242
Sure, I'm lukewarm on the gen as well. Did you vote for it as your least favorite, though? I didn't, but a lot of people did.

>>30847242
>>30847268

There are a lot of people who disliked B/W so much that they nearly gave up on the whole franchise.

>>30847268
I did vote for it as my least favorite, because it is my least favorite and I think it has quite a few problems, but I wouldn't even describe the gen as something I dislike. I don't think there's a bad main line pokemon game.

>>30847280
Me, for example.
"My" first game was a lended copy of Yellow, then Emerald, then Diamond, Platinum and SS, then White.

I could barely finish the slog that was White, and I left the series until SM were announced.

Only this year I got Y and OR, and while I have beaten OR three times, I have less than 4 hours on Y. I have beaten both Sun and Moon and I'm enjoying breeding some dumb gimmick teams for the Battle Tree.

OR was a bit disappointing, but was better than White for me, and gen V sequels and no remakes gave me no reason at all to play the second set of games.

So least liked, V, most liked IV.

>>30847293
Ah, gotcha

>>30847280
Yeah, obviously, but I have no idea what they disliked so much. It didn't seem that much different from gen 4 to me. Only major change I recall was the ugly animated sprites.

>>30847390
>slog
So was it just the plot pacing that you disliked? Or more like the exp curve or something like that?

>>30847280
And most normies left after gen 3, only to return after Pokemon GO came out.

>>30847280
I'm sure there have been people like that for every generation since 3.

>>30847418
The convination of both.
The game can be slow in one or the other, but if the story goes slow and the mechanics hold you back even further...
Well, for me it was a deal breaker.
At least in Gen VII if you have EXP problems you can just turn on the EXP. SHARE.
While not using it in the story was good, its fantastic to level up your team for the postgame.

>>30847467

A specific point about the story, too, is that it has to actually be enjoyable to warrant getting dragged around and railroaded as hard as they do in B/W. S/M do the same kind of railroading, but they actually have a decent and enjoyable story with enjoyable characters behind it so it never feels like you're wasting your time.

Meanwhile in B/W it's getting dragged from one PETA lecture to another interspersed with cringeworthy shounen stereotypes like N. Then to top it all off when you finally manage to slog through without falling into a coma and you think it's over, they yank the championship fight out from under you and keep forcing the awful story.

>>30845853

My fucking nigga, this is exactly my opinion.

>>30847552
>they yank the championship fight out from under you
So much this.
The one good thing about N was that his speech was always over the set speed, so at least you could get over his speeches quickly.

Great taste, anon. Though I've changed my mind about Gen II a little thanks to >>30846001

>>30847552
Its the opposite for me. SM's story feels twice as long because it felt like it was slowing me down entirely unnecessarily just to get me to like it, and none of the main characters get good until late second island. And then get annoying again round the 4th and aether

While the beginning of BW is pretty bad, after that it just gets really fun and I don't mind the story at all.

>>30847609
I forgot to mention, I actually really like the Johto story, but that was more personal rather than what the gen added

What disaster? BW fixed themselves BW2. At least personally, BW and BW2 didn't make me doubt buying XY. XY and ORAS made me doubt buying SM. In other words, Gen 6 nearly killed my liking of Pokemon.

>>30847779
This, BW2 was amazing

>>30847779
So if I got this correctly the reason why gen5 is both second best and worst game is because bw was utter trash while bw2 was good?

Voted for gen IV as best but only because of HGSS.

Ended up picking gen III as the worst but thinking through things again I should have picked gen VI.

>>30848190
It seems that way.
>BW was a dreamkiller dumpster fire.
>BW2 was the top of the videogame industry.

>>30848190
No because it's polarizing. Gen 5 had the best story, characters and soundtrack but there are people who don't care about that and the only thing they can think of is
>m-muh ice cream and m-muh trashbag are shit

>>30848259
>Gen 5 had the best opinions, opinions and opinions

I hated Gen 5's story, it's characters were either totally forgettable or aggressively bad, and the soundtrack was nothing to write home about standard Pokemon fare really.

>>30848286
And the visuals were shit, and the lower screen sucked.

>>30848190
Pretty much this yeah.
After we got platinium/hgss which were super good games. we get bw which was good but nothing compared to the other two and first impression is key sadly.
After that we got bw2. Why is bw2 so high regarded? Because xy flopped hard and we go back to the last best thing. thats also why aola is being praised even though its average really.

>>30848368
For me, I feel that BW2 had a bland story, but the adventure itself was a lot more interesting than the first, I enjoyed seeing how the region and characters changed over the years, exploring the new areas, and it had the most amount of things to do, even after the main story.

>>30839535
Are you me

Gen VII isn't the worst.
I'm disappointed.

>>30847778
Right like wtf. Since when is vp into sinnoh???? Never seen one thread praising it or even mentionning it.

>>30849921
Different people voting for liking and disliking gen 5 obviously. Seems people either love it or hate it.

>>30849921
Gen 5 is the "love it or hate it" gen where the fanbase can't come to an agreement on it. It resonates more with people that liked the new approaches it was taking to mix up the formula, I think.

Gen 5 is the most polarizing gen because it combines...

A great story and a great soundtrack with some arguably shitty mons and an extremely shitty pixelated design choice that managed to look worse than generations III and IV

>>30850222
No it's because a lot of people only played BW which was shit. It's like if gen IV was only DP without PtHGSS, it wouldn't be fondly remembered either.

>>30850264
I liked BW1 more than 2 but I realize my opinion is in the minority there.

>>30850264

can confirm

played both B and B2

both were shit

>>30850264
Take out hgss from gen4 and it wouldnt be in the place it is now.
Casuals are all johtofag especially for the two region and the red battle. I doubt sinnoh made 4gen great cause it sure as hell wasnt superb.

>>30850313
Platinum was the best, what are you talking about? If it had the following mechanic I would have liked it more than HGSS, no question.

>>30850343
Not gim but hgss puts platinium to shame. hgss is pumped with features all over the place. also considered the most complete pokemon game to date. if it has pss system and decent ev training option it would be the best ever.

>>30850343
I like Plat more, HGSS didn't charm me, but I get why people praise it.

>>30850343
Platinium was comfy but hgss was a step above.

>>30850402
I'd be down for a QoL HGSS update. Was replaying it and I forgot how annoying it was to keep using Repels.

Serious question here.
Wasn't generation 3 regarded as the best not too long ago after the remakes ruined its reputation. It certainly has the most amount of memes or at least the most popular ones.I feel like we really doing the infamous pokemon circle just a matter of time people think xy was masterclass .

>>30850222

trips has spoken

>>30850222
>A great story

EASILY the weakest part of the games.

>>30850494

All the memes abut Gen 3 were about how people hated it so much because of the shitty music and the water everywhere. I don't think Gen 3 has ever been regarded as the best.

>>30850264
BW is much better than BW2.

>>30850494
No, even before BW people were complaining about how much water and trumpets were in Gen III.

>>30850494
Oldfag here, I remember gen 3 was really hated online until people who grew up with it started posting more. I bet the same thing's happening with gen 4 now.

>>30847732
Explain to me what was technically bad about ORAS. X&Y: self evident, but ORAS was fine. It's only tryhards who were expecting something more out of a remake (lol) who hate it or trolls who just hate gen 3.

>>30850521
I hope you're aware that you're a minority. The same minority that thinks RS>E and DP>Pt.

>>30850587
Not him, but no, I think BW>BW2 and I don't think RS>E and DP>Pt.

>>30850527
>>30850519
>hating water
Wtf is this shit ign?
Also the trumpets made the game.

>>30850587
Who cares if hes a minority. Doesnt make him wrong

>>30850586
I hated how they took away the difficulty setting and on top of that made the game really easy. SO MUCH TELEPORTATION. You are teleported from the chimney village to the lava village, then to your dad's gym's village, and teleported again to the electric city.

Also although the Lati@s flying mechanic was cool, it made the world seem a lot smaller. Same issue with the black loading screens in XY/SM.

>>30850586

90% of ORAS hate comes from

>m-muh battle frontier

>>30850612
Water was an actual complaint people had before people made it into a meme from the IGN review.

>>30850612
It's fine if you liked it, but you're crazy if you think /vp/ didn't complain about it.

>>30850587
I don't care if I am a minority but
>RS>E and DP>Pt.
No. I don't consider RS and DP better than Emerald and Platinum.

>>30850637
>m-muh battle frontier
Still gives me ptsd

>>30850646
>>30850649
What's wrong with the water?
>>30839343
>gen 4 being the best
Is this counting HGSS because DPPt were honestly terrible.

>>30850706
Gen IV is DPPtHGSS.

>Platinum
>terrible
Fight me you fucker.

>>30850730
Yeah but I remember seeing people say that it was being lumped with GSC.

And yeah, I think DPPt are horrible. Gen IV in general left a bad, bad taste in my mouth that was only somewhat mitigated by HGSS.
>inb4 unovabortion strawman by people who started with gen IV

BW2 > HGSS > Platinum > BW > Emerald > SM > FRLG > GSC > RBY > ur mum > ORAS = XY

Really, if BW1/2 had sold more and had pokemon designs that weren't literal garbage, it would have liked well more.

>>30850343
The only thing Platinum has that HGSS doesn't is different night music and the Underground

>you like gen # that means it was the first gen you played!

Have the updated version.

Started with Gen 1, and it hurts a bit to say it, but this might be the worst gen, but only because it's so antiquated now. There are some nice aspects to it, like having some difficulty to it and Blue being a fantastic rival, but it's a really lacking game by current standards. A great example of a game being good in its time but then becoming redundant. Doesn't happen to all old games, but it did happen to this.

Gen 2 is probably the best one for me because of how many new concepts they added to expand the series formula. A true sequel if there ever was one as it builds on everything that the first game established and every new idea felt like a step forward without anything that felt like a step backward. This game probably had the best challenge imo. As a dumb kid who was more into building teams with favorite mon, Red and the Elite 4 were quite a challenge to overcome and it felt good when I eventually did. Feraligatr is also my favorite starter so far.

>>30850772
Same here anon, except RS left a bad taste in my mouth which was mitigated by FRLG and DPPt. Went back and played Emerald and thought it was better but still my least favorite gen/region

>>30850804
Kek, figures. The only thing underage Sinohfetuses can come up with is the unovabortion strawman. Not everyone who dislikes Gen IV is a unovabortion, familia.

>>30850816
I personally love the sense of exploration from GSC. The lack of guides (and lack of access to internet) probably added to that, but I remember I spent a week trying to find Lugia.

>>30850850
But do you consider HGSS as Gen IV?

>>30850816
Gen 1 is one of the easiest games in the series. Don't be blinded by nostalgia, go back and actually play it. It's very easy.

>>30850850
>complains about being strawmanned as an unovabortion while calling people sinnohfetuses

>>30850871
Yeah, I do, but I still dislike gen IV as a whole.
>>30850877
The difference is that I'm not a unovabortion. I think gen V is my most disliked right after gen IV.

imo
II > III > VII > I > VI > V > IV

>>30850908
I get that, claiming people only like a generation because it's the first one they played is still retarded though.

>>30850816
Gen II as sequels, were fantastic mechanically.
So many new things!
But the game, as an experience by itself was meh.
Still, it was one of the most important steps for Pokémon to take.
>>30850908
You are either lying or forgot how roman numerals work.

>>30850874
Yeah, I was surprised when I replayed Gen I earlier this year. Steamrolled the E4 with my mons in their 40s. It helps that the AI is retarded and has awful movesets.

>>30850951
>>30850908
Wait.
I think I may have misinterpreted that, but I still think the wording is dubious.

>>30850874
No, it's a lot easier now because we have more experience and are not dumb kids anymore, but I did think it was still far more challenging than recent Pokemon games. This is my opinion based on playing the game again when it was released on the 3DS.

>>30850586
ORAS is a game that feels like it has absolutely no effort or personality put into it. Which affect ted the entire experience.

>>30850612
Water is literally half the region. 5 towns are only accessible by surfing.

>>30850793
Put GSC below SM and this is perfect. Actually, its perfectly fine already. Good job.

>>30850793
Good taste my nigger, your top 4's the same as mine except for BW2

>>30851005

Twitch beat Gen I by having three dozen people randomly input commands. You could never pull that off in newer games.

>>30851141
I'm pretty sure they beat all the games that way.

>>30851141
>You could never pull that off in newer games.
Except they did

>>30851141
Well, if you're going to do a twitch plays, then a turn based game is going to work the best.

Can we agree that SM is the hardest Pokemon game ever?

>>30851141

that twitch channel has beaten just about all the games so far

>>30851291
I had more problems with Black 2, but SM is a step in the right direction. I hope GF never gets rid of the scaling XP (like they did in XY) as it's a good way to keep the power creep in check.

>>30851291
Fucking impossible to level to 100 by pokemon battling. I feel like I'm cheating by using the Buffets/Restaurants.

>>30851141
They did, retard

>>30851291
No. It had a few foot totem battles but every trainer fight was sub par.

>>30851421
Which one then?
