>Worst region
>Milked to death
I like throwbacks to older games but enough is enough.
>>
Kanto is a flat shithole filled with vicious monsters.
Avoid at all costs.
>>
>>31119727
Nobody except normies who make up most of the fanbase. We're never getting a game that doesn't have Kanto pandering again.
>>
I dont have a problem with Kanto.
Its just that Johto and Sinnoh were nicer regions.
>>
>>31119727
Most fans outside of niche online communities (and even then) like Kanto.
>>
Kanto I think was pretty good? But not as good as Unova but still good
>>
Kanto isn't as hated as you think.
Sure it's pretty bland but it's still better than Hoenn
>>
>>31119993
>but it's still better than Johto.
Ftfy.
>>
>>31120038
no, he meant better than Hoenn
Anything is better than Hoenn.
It's just a giant square, it may be big, but this is due the fact that the routes are giant straight lines.

Currently playing Yellow. Not really enjoying it much. Nothing but the same Pidgey/Rattata spam on every route. Stopped when I got to Lt. Surge's gym. Does it get better?
>>
>>31119699
RBY were important games, which is why they keep making callbacks to it. It's the same reason 8-bit Mario is constantly referenced in every single Mario game since.
>>
>>31119727
Refresh my memory, in what ways were XY Kanto pandering? The only thing i can think of were the megas and I don't think using some of the series' most iconic monsters to show off a new feature is a bad thing.
>>
>>31120121
No. I had a similar experience, I forced myself to continue and got 5 or 6 badges. It never got any better.
>>
>>31120038
I actually think Johto is better than Kanto, the traditional Japanese theme was cool. Kanto was just a generic city.
>>
>>31120205
Megas
Kanto starters after the first gym

There were a few other things, but I haven't touched XY since launch so I don't really remember
>>
>>31119727
no, they were just bad games.
>>
>>31120205
The forest was an exact copy of Viridian forest
>>
>>31120205
The first forest has the exact same layout as Viridian Forest, and the it has the legendary birds and Mewtwo.
>>
>>31120242

Gift Lapras
Santalune Forest being a copy of Viridian Forest right down to the encounters (minus the monkeys and Gen 6 Pokes)
Guaranteed Pidgey encounter as your first wild on Route 2
>>
>>31120121
Your first mistake was playing the gen 1 games.never do that again.

You should've played FR/LG.
>>
>>31120309
FrLg is worse though.

You have better graphics but the same overworld, trainers and pokemon from 20 years ago. You expect a modernized RGBY, but it's just a prettier RGBY.
>>
>>31120263
Ok. I guess I was thinking in terms of things that were actually advertised(Alola forms were in the "commercials"/reveals for Sun/Moon, but I don't remember Mewtwo or the birds being advertised for XY).
>>
>>31120386
>>31120242 These were advertised.
>>
>>31120102
It's babby, newfag
>>
>>31120309
No it's worse because the game doesn't even have all the later gen evolutions till post game. And not even all of them are in the game. It makes you mad more than anything.
>>
>>31120069
>the routes are giant straight lines

You mean like literally every region? Do you want a bunch of zig-zags or something?
>>
>>31119727
>Nobody fucking likes Kanto

I don't think it's possible to be any more wrong than you are right now.
>>
>>31119699
Honestly, it's not that bad. It's a decent region overall with a good level curve and some out-of-the-way places to explore so you've got stuff to do.

The problem is that its Pokemon are shoved in your face way too often to the point where you can get fatigued from it.
>>
I just don't like how the 20th anniversary only focused on Kanto. Like god damn I know it's what started it all but 20 fucking years wasn't just solely made of Kanto and it's achievements. Other gens/regions all took part in it too.
>>
>>31119699
I really don't understand why GF continues to pander so fucking hard to genwunners. They don't give a fuck about Pokemon outside of the first gen and never will. At this point, if you want to go after the nostalgia crowd, wouldn't gen 2/3 pandering make more sense?
>>
>>31119699
>Nostalgia sells
>>
>>31119699
It really only looks bad in hindsight, because it's smaller and less diverse what's standard for today.

It's greatest strength compared to the other regions is definitely its openness, something we should really go back to. Once you get through Rock Tunnel, you can basically go wherever and do whatever you want. As opposed to games nowadays, where there's railroading and obligatory cutscenes everywhere.
>>
>>31119727
RBY was and, considering how its age, is a solid game though. Not the best in the franchise, but Kanto being bad is a meme.
On the other hand, XY are the worst installment in the franchise and I don't think SM is much better.
>>
>>31120917

Mewtwo is also in the "Unknown Dungeon" for both

Same title

To be fair for the warp tiles every gen has done that iirc

That might be reaching

This does not get enough credit. Sun/Moon could have been so much better if instead of putting barriers up to force story points, they let you go and do the trials in whichever order you wanted. Most people would still go the intended route, and a few people would Solid Snake their way across the region having fun another way.

>>31120842
I'd say it pays off but I can't tell if there's really any direct correlation between pandering and sales given that DP sold a fuckton and had pretty much no pandering.
>>
>>31120943
How is it nonlinear? You still go through the region in a specific way, you just have the option of challenging some of the gyms in a different order. Even then if you do that you end up trivializing most of them anyway.
>>
>>31119727
Listen here you little shit, Kanto is fine. In fact, Kanto is great. It was great in RBY, it was good in GSC, it was disappointing in FRLG but only because of that national dex bullshit and the Sevii Island Disappointment, and then it was good again in HGSS.
Kanto is a great region. It's almost as good as Hoenn, and it goes with Johto like peanut butter and jelly. Sinnoh? Trash comparatively. Unova? Get bent. Kalos? Kalos is so bad they should have just released RBY 2 3D and called it a day.
I fucking love Kanto. I love Mount Moon, I love Fuchsia, I love the Seafoam Islands, I love Viridian Forest, I love the legendaries and I love the starters. If you don't like Kanto get the fuck off the board.
>>
>>31121196
>You still go through the region in a specific way

Tell me anon, who is the fifth gym leader in Kanto?
>>
>>31119699
Kanto is better than Alola.

Sun/Moon are solely better than Red/Blue because of technological advancements made in 20 years. I wouldn't even consider them better than Gold/Silver, though.
>>
>>31121231
>>
>>31119993
>>31120038
Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn are great.Johto can't really stand alone as a region, but that's only because we're so used to going to Kanto afterward finishing the league there. It's a shame, because Mt. Mortar is practically a curiosity and Tohjo Falls is a glorified roadblock - imagine if they were to Johto what Mt. Moon and Victory Road are to Kanto.
Hoenn? It's the tightest shit in Gen 3 - diving, the desert, Mirage Tower, that floating island town, it's fucking great. The volcano - I can go on forever, baby. Sootopolis, Meteor Falls, it's probably the best region design-wise because everything works together incredibly well. I'd love to hack it someday, because it has so much potential to fuck with.
>>
>>31119727
>Can we all agree that XY/SM are the worst games in the franchise
Yes.
>solely on Kanto pandering alone?
No. They did FAR more than that to deserve the spot as the worst Pokemon games ever made.
>>
>>31121231
Kanto sux and I'm not leaving!

>>31120121

There are people on this board right now who didn't play gen 1 when they were 6-10 years old

It's just sad.

However that first half of Hoenn is the tightest shit

Did they EVER mention how Mewtwo even has a mega evolution? Mega stones are stated to be an ancient thing, so why would one exist for a man-made pokemon?

Not him, but Kanto references were grounded in the plot and were built around them

It's not like with Kalos where it just happened to be there. So the Kanto pandering wasn't as insulting sense it made sense in world?

I don't know, it just came off as more natural and unforced you know?

>it's another "haha Kanto is shit guys I'm not like those NORMIES over there" episode
Why the fuck does even the mention of Kanto make /vp/ so damn buttblasted? It's the region where the series began, and lore-wise a pretty big urban center, of course it's going to play some sort of role in the Pokémon world just like Tokyo does in real life, especially in SM whose region is based on a real-life place with massive Japanese influence.

>b-but Kanto is shit
Of course it's shit, it was designed for a shitty '90s video game built to run on shitty '70s hardware that would have been considered a limp-dick toy 10 years before it was even in the prototype stage. Why does /vp/ project such high standards on it?
>>
>>31121619
Because it's boring buying a new game, walking into an early patch of grass, and seeing a Pokemon you've seen for 6 fucking gens.

Did DP have the Oak cameo or just Platinum?

>>31121778
Except it is easier. I made it through the entire game with two pokemon, with the occasional third, purposefully underlevelled them, and obviously had the Exp. Share off and never used Z-Moves, and it was still just as easy as, if not easier, than X/Y.

The Elite 4 is much harder than the Elite 4 in X/Y, that much is true. But that's FAR from meaning that the entire game is harder.

Origins is how gen 1 played out in the mega verse. Mr.Fugi likely just made the stones like how he made Zard X.

The only thing ORAS had post-game speaking over SM was having a bunch of legendaries lazily thrown together on wormholes.

SM has half an island for post-game, while ORAS has no post-game areas other than the Maison (that is completely rehahsed from XY)
The Looker mission takes more time in SM

>Other than Magikarp it's pretty okay

Maybe if you have zero comprehension of how type weaknesses work, sure.
>NO YOURE WRONG IM RIGHT
Explain how.
>Other regions are bigger loops
Exactly my point, this region is a smaller loop than normal.
>Every other game has straight paths
Yeah, but you'd usually find some little hidden thing off to the side every route. As much as I like the removal of HMs, the way they handled them in Sun/Moon was awful because they barely used them.
>Just like any pokemon game ever
You'd expect a mostly sea-based region to have a lot of stuff on the sea.
>Fishing is okay
Looks like someone didn't actually try fishing because if you ask anyone who actually did, you'll find that nobody would agree with you that the fishing is "okay".
>Just like in every other game
Not really? I mean, maybe you'd get an odd pokemon like Munchlax thats absurdly rare, but in this game there's a good dozen or so that are unreasonably rare, and in a game where most of the available pokemon are generic junk with a 70% spawn chance, its REALLY noticable.
>Buzzword!
haha wow epic response
>It's only the first hour
Aside from the fact that it makes the first hour unbearable, youre wrong because it continues throughout the game. Granted, its better after the first hour, but it never goes away for good.

False. Nothing was really interesting. The only interesting part was Lusamine becoming a monster.

Agreed but that doesnt make Skull good.

My point wasn't that "Sun/Moon are the only easy games", it's that "Sun/Moon are somehow even EASIER than most of the games in the series", which is bad. It's far from being my main gripe about Sun/Moon, because all the games are easy, but the point I was making was that Sun and Moon are easier than X/Y.

There's no point in complaining them, complain about something relevant like removal of Secret Bases

That happens in every single game except XY.
>Maybe if you have zero comprehension of how type weaknesses work, sure.

>Explain how.
You provided a very vague statement without any argument behind it. Expand on the "missed potencial"

If you split all other regions in 4, you get similar sized loops, and that's because of the geography. Only way to avoid it would be making Alola 3x the size of other regions

>Not really? I mean, maybe you'd get an odd pokemon like Munchlax thats absurdly rare, but in this game there's a good dozen or so that are unreasonably rare, and in a game where most of the available pokemon are generic junk with a 70% spawn chance, its REALLY noticable.
Most rares are 10%. 5% at worst. There's tons of rare pokémon like that in every game.Particularly XY with a lot of 10% because they crammed every route with pokémon. I'll give you Castform. That's bullshit.

That's Charizard pandering, not Gen 1 pandering as whole. Might as well call Ash-Greninja Gen 6 pandering.

That's a nod to Gen 1, not le pandering. But you call it that, as long as you are willing to accept everytime Looker appears is Gen 4 pandering because "remember that crazy detective dude from Gen 4? IT'S BACK WITH NEW INTERPOL QUESTS"

>>31122921
It's not attention anon. IT'S P A N D E R I N G.

>You receive a Togepi egg in Gen 4. DISGUTING JOHTO PANDERING
Except you get the egg from Cythia, who actually uses Togekiss in her entry.
Lapras is given because, ......it has only Surfing model?

>Because Gen 1 are the only pokémon with megas
No, but Charizard and Mewtwo has two of them.
Besides, except Hoenn, that has its own gen 6 game. we have as many gen 1 Megas as gen 2, 4 and 5 Megas together.

>Fucking BW2 making Regigigas and the Lake Trio catchable in Unova, disgusting Gen 4 pandering!
You know BW2 had its own trio "and" other trios from other gens, but Kalos only has gen 1 trio. I think, this was just lazy from the devs.

>It's more impactful to see an established oldie get Ninetales get a makeover over something like Pangoro, but that's a legit argument
Good argument, but it still doesn't explain why "only" gen 1 mons have new forms. The others are less impactful, so just don't make Alola forms for them?

>And they also bought back Sina and Dexio with a makeover, for dat Gen 6 pandering
This is just speculation, but Red and Blue's story is clearly over, in contrast to Kalos where every potential was awfully excuted.

He hasn't made good points for gen 1 pandering in Alola, anyway.

So if they moved the Gen 1 starters to post-game it would no longer be pandering. Ok

>Lapras is given because, ......it has only Surfing model?
And they give you a shiny gible in Black 2 because...why? Of course I'd normally say it's just a gift for the sake of a gift, but since we're in a pandering thread, it's a Gen 4 pandering

>No, but Charizard and Mewtwo has two of them.
That's specific pokémon pandering. Is Ash-Greninja Gen 6 pandering?
Gen 4 has more megas than Gen 5,6 and 7 together. Such argument is irrelevant

>You know BW2 had its own trio "and" other trios from other gens
XY also has its own trio. Xerneas Yveltal and Zygarde. Besides I'm sure that if they added the Beats in XY and made the birds available in ORAS it would be pandering to you anyway

>This is just speculation, but Red and Blue's story is clearly over, in contrast to Kalos where every potential was awfully excuted.
Just because they become champions, doesn't mean they are over. Cynthia is also a champion. That mean her story is over. She is in SM though. GEN 4 PANDERING!

>>31122856
The point is there is no prescribed order to Kanto. Everything from Rock Tunnel to Blaine (i.e. 60% of the game) is essentially a loose collection of sidequests. Koga and Sabrina are basically interchangeable. The game doesn't tell you where to go at all, and all routes/dungeons have more or less the same levels for trainer battles.

Yeah the difference between Emerald giving you the Johto starters, HGSS giving you the Kanto starters, ORAS giving you the Johto, Sinnoh, and Unova starters and XY giving you the Kanto starters, is that for the first three games you get them by reward, with the intention of using them to complete the Pokedex. XY gives you the starters because...well there really isn't a reason huh. Yeah you would need them to complete the National Dex anyway but all the other games gave you them as a reward for doing something kinda challenging like becoming champion or beating Red or completing the Hoenn dex. XY just gives you them, in the main game, for what? Beating the professor? That's not exactly an impressive feat.

You can easily get Gen 2 and 5 starters in SM. Since there's no big hard quest involved in getting them (unless you count scanning QR codes as a big hard quest), by your logic it's also super pandering to Gen 2 and 5
>>
>>31123324
I never said anything about pandering. Pandering is just a stupid buzzword now. I'm talking about attention. I'm taking about closing the gap. No, getting access to Gen I fossils doesn't exactly count. OVERABUNDANT nods to Gen I such as the Snorlax flute thing in XY, or the fact that all the Alolan forms are from Gen I. Such things BY THEMSELVES are not inherently bad, but combined, they form a problem.
>>
>>31123355
They are also entirely optional. You can't skip past the Kanto starters in XY. Johto starters in ORAS might not be skippable either - I don't remember, but if that's Johto "pandering" I'm all for it. At least it's not Kanto.
>>
>>31123420
Too bad that for the remainder of this thread you are stuck with "pandering". It's your burden to bear

It's diferent. It does not count. Period.

>OVERABUNDANT nods to Gen I such as the Snorlax flute thing in XY, or the fact that all the Alolan forms are from Gen I.
Why didn't you complain when they repeated the Sudowood mimicking as tree blocking your path thin in Emerald BF. I'll give you Alolan formes being Kanto-only. Altough I understand it makes much more of an impression using older established pokémon, i admit some Gen 2 and 3 are old enough to be candidates.

The thing is if I wanted I could make a huge list of references to everything in XY and SM. Even small things like that castle with a Serperior Gate and Reshiram and Zekrom. I have no doubt you'd be sperging off as "Gen 1 pandering" if they were a Mewtwo statue.

>>31123470
>I don't remember, but if that's Johto "pandering" I'm all for it. At least it's not Kanto.
And there you have it. People who complain about "pandering" just want entire games dedicated to "hey remember my [favorite game]!". That makes you no better than people who enjoyed the Gen 1 references. Bye

There were only three generations at the time. There was hardly a problem back then. And you needed it to complete the pokedex anyway.

Just because other people would doesn't mean I would. Humans are all different, each one of us has our own unique, nuanced opinion. Stop acting like a child and grouping me with other people, just because we share an opinion on a broader sense.

>>
>>31123652
We know the origin of Mega Stones, but the process is still random. They are just stones with power. They aren't tailored to be used by anything. They just happened to make some Pokemon stronger.

>You realize how unlogical and wrong that sounds, do you?
No, I really don't. Stones that just happen to be usable by one Pokemon are just as likely to be usable by another. Give me a good reason to believe otherwise.

It would be at least less pandering, but in contrast to Emerald you can get the gen 1 starters in safari.

Gen 4 has more megas than Gen 5,6 and 7 together. Such argument is irrelevant
Yes, Ash Greninja was an awful idea.
And Gen 2 has more Mega than gen 4, but only "one" more. Compare that to Kanto Megas.

>XY also has its own trio. Xerneas Yveltal and Zygarde.
Pls, not with the main trio.

Besides I'm sure that if they added the Beats in XY and made the birds available in ORAS it would be pandering to you anyway.
In that case XY would have gen 2 'pandering" (I can't really find any more Jhoto reference).
ORAS wouldn't have gen 1 pandering.

However, the gen 1 padering is a result of many little facts together, people say gen 1 pandering, because it has so many contrast to other gens.

Malie City is specifically said to be built by people who came from Johto. You heard it right, there's an entire city in SM that is basically a giant Gen 2 pandering sign in the Alola map. Also Apricorn Balls, a famous Gen 2 staple, now pandering items in SM.

You see anon, when every single tiny reference to past game constitutes as pandering, it's not hard to compile a list

>>31123718
>why? I never used it
Because you're on the side of people sperging out because GF didn't completely erase Gen 1 from Sm, as if it was the original sin. You are using other's people arguments as a way to establish your own, thus same treatment applies

>There were only three generations at the time. There was hardly a problem back then. And you needed it to complete the pokedex anyway.
That makes no sense. Just because there were few gens, doesn't men they coudn't have done something original, like put a Cacturne pretending to be a cactus. If you're going to consider Snorlax as Gen 1 pandering, do so, as long as you also consider Sudowood as Gen 2 pandering.

>Just because other people would doesn't mean I would. Humans are all different, each one of us has our own unique, nuanced opinion. Stop acting like a child and grouping me with other people, just because we share an opinion on a broader sense.

>And Gen 2 has more Mega than gen 4, but only "one" more. Compare that to Kanto Megas.
Most Megas, especially the first batch are given to iconic pokémon. Like it or not most iconic pokémon happen to be from Gen 1. If Gen 3 had 10 Lucario-tier iconic pokémon, they would get megas.

>Pls, not with the main trio.
And that's kind of an irrelevant argument unless you can prove me that they purposely scrapped plans for a minor trio in Gen 6 in order to add the birds

>In that case XY would have gen 2 'pandering" (I can't really find any more Jhoto reference).
Valerie is from Johto and other NPCs mentions Johto-related stuff. Minor stuff that is just a nod, but in this thread is disgusting pandering.

>>31123907
Malie City is pretty significant, since it's the second largest city in Alola, don't try to devalue it. Also Lana mentions Red Gyarados and Olivia's city was made by people from Kanto and Johto region. In another words 1,5 cities in Alola are Gen 2 panderings. Amazing

>Just because there were few gens, doesn't men they coudn't have done something original, like put a Cacturne pretending to be a cactus.
Ok yes, they could have done two things. 1) put a Cacturne in. 2) give you a Sudowoodo somewhere else. Oh! But wait! There's a key difference between Sudowoodo in Emerald and Snorlax in XY. Sudowoodo is completely optional! Snorlax is shoehorned into the story and you have to go on a wild goose chase to make it go away. Would it be dumb if Sudowoodo was randomly placed in the middle of a route in Emerald and you also had to go on a wild goose chase to make it go away? Yes. Did it happen? No.

If each Pokémon has its specific Mega Stone, they must be related to their corresponding Pokémon's ADN somehow, in which case it wouldn't make sense for a natural phenomenon like a Mega Stone to be generated as a compatible item for a Pokémon that was not created naturally like any other else, but by humans. As someone said up there, it would have made a lot more sense for Mew to get an actual Mega Evolution, and since Mewtwo shares its ADN it would all fit perfectly, but since that's not the case, there's no official and logical explanation as to how the Mewtwonites came to be.

Not doing the Sudowood actively locks you out of part of the map. Maybe you're not actually forced to interact with it, but you'll never explore the entire region unless you face that disgusting, abominable Gen 2 pandering supreme force, so at the end of day I'd consider it as terrible as a Snorlax sleeping

But why? You're saying it just doesn't make sense, but that isn't a valid reason. Mewtwo has "ADN" as much as any other Pokemon. Why would it not make sense to have a Mega Stone that would work for Mewtwo?
If it was something like Porygon, which is basically just a program, it would be understandable. But Mewtwo is the same as any other Pokemon, regardless of his origin. If a randomly generated stone can work for a Beedrill, in the same vein, another randomly generated stone should work with Mewtwo.

I'm not "just saying that it's a mess", I'm saying that it IS a mess specifically because Mewtwo is a man-made Pokémon, it basically is the exact same thing that Porygon, they're artificial products. That's why again, a naturally generated phenomenon like the Mega Stones working on a Non-natural/Artificial/Man-made Pokémon like Mewtwo doesn't make sense.

I'll express it in another way:
Nobody knows the actual origin of Pokémons, they came out of nowhere so actual Mega Stones coming out of nowhere too, makes sense. But does Mewtwo-compatible Mega Stones make sense when he DID NOT came from the same place than the whole lot of other Pokémons came from?

>Nope.
>lmao stop using such loaded vocabulary

I like how you progressed from attempting an argument to "lmao im right ur wrong fuck u lmao"

>How about I stop here? It's clear you're refusing to understand my side of the argument because for some reason you equivalate anyone who disagrees with you with evil nazi hitlers who don't deserve respect, and I'm not going to argue with that kind of a brick wall anymore. Maybe one day you'll grow up.
And most of the same, except with a cool "maybe one day you'll grow up". I like that condescending tone. Makes you look like the badass cool kid that wins everytime.

Meanwhile when i exit this thread I won't think about your retardation anymore and keep enjoying the games, while you and other people get aneurysms because someone in Seafolk Village gives you an Aerodactyl and it's Gen 1 pandering.

I mean it might. Bulbapedo says that mega stones came about from either evolutionary stones being exposed to the power of Xerneas or Yvetal or from meteorites. It is possible that perhaps one (two) of the meteorites reacted to Mewtwo ~somehow~

But why? Mewtwo is as much of a Pokemon as any other. It can still be caught in a Poke Ball, it can learn the moves Pokemon can learn, it has types and weakness just like any other Pokemon. The only difference here is that Mewtwo is not naturally born, rather a modified version of a Mew. How does it make it any less likely candidate to receive Mega Evolution?

Let me give you an analogy. Think of Mega Stones as food. Each year, many Mega Stones are created with random, unique taste. Now, if a Pokemon likes that taste, it can eat the Mega Stone to grow strong. In this scenario, a new Pokemon is created, Mewtwo, same as all other Pokemon. Is there any reason to believe that this new Pokemon could not like the taste of a Mega Stone among the hundreds of thousands that exist? Simply because it was not born naturally?

It seems to me that you're thinking that Mega Stones are created only because a natural born Pokemon can use them. And that's absurd. Mega Stones are just stones charged with a special type of energy. It doesn't matter if a Pokemon can use them or not. That's just an extra effect. Even if Scizor didn't exist, a Scizorite woul. Who knows how many stones were charged with this energy over the thousands of years, even Mewtwo was created. Out of all of these, there's no reason one couldn't be compatible with a newly born Pokemon.
