We can never go back.
Stop reminding me
>never we will have a game with a lot of content like was Black2/White2
I thought it was Gold Silver
>XY has forever poisoned the series
>Another BW2 will never happen
word
>no more dream pokemon
>>31633258
>no more download tournaments
:(
Don't worry guys.
One day Gen 5 hacking will become so easy Drayano will remake every Gen with the Gen 5 engine and make it connect compatible with BWB2W2
>>31637897
Is... is this what heaven is like?
>>31632620
remember 3 years ago when XY was about to be realeased and everyone loved gen 4 and hated gen 5 for it's limited linear map. Yeah it's gonna happen again the next gen
>>31633083
In terms of popularity? Sure, but when it comes to gameplay, not when gen 3, 4, and 5 all brought a lot to the table.
>>31637937
Yep. It's a cycle.
>>31632620
How can an endlessly deep valley be the peak of a series?
If that's true than Pokemon as been utter shit since the get go.
>>31637897
I still hate Gen 5's sprites, but better then 3d
>>31637897
Is there a FRLG on BW engine?
>>31637987
I prefer 3D over BW's sprites. They looked terrible. Gen 4's looked better. Could they not figure out how to make smooth pixel animation or what?
>>31637996
Check out Pokemon Essentials.
>>31632620
>you will never play a Gen V game with current Pokemon, Amie and QoL improvements
Why even live desu
>>31638024
>Could they not figure out how to make smooth pixel animation or what?
But they are smooth.
>>31639206
I think he means that they're mixel messes.
>gen 2 was the peak and it's over
>>31639488
Well, larger sprites would eat up all the resources. Triples already makes the system lag a bit.
Honestly this is what I like about gen 5. GF didn't go beyond the system's limits. My eyes bleed every time I do a multi battle on SM.
>>31637937
>gen 7
>2 gens later
>gen 5 appreciation is higher than ever
>everyone still shits on 6
yeah it sure is a cycle anon
>>31637937
Once you open your heart and appreciate GF's ambition during gen 5 (unseen since gen 2), it's hard to not love it.
>>31632620
Black and White was the worst pokemon game I ever played. Dark boring urban region with no good music, bad pokemon designs, only gen 5 mons in main story. N was the only thing I liked about the game
>>31639706
>Dark boring urban region with no good music, bad pokemon designs, only gen 5 mons in main story.
Would you rather get another rural happy-go-lucky region like the other 4?
>>31639706
>"no good music"
>>31632650
why don't you play it again?
>>31639706
>only gen 5 mons in the main story
It baffles me that there are people who didn't like this, it forced you to get out of your 'muh pokebros' comfort zone and try some new mons. Plus we got a full 150 new Pokemon out of it.
>Platinum will never be topped in terms of singleplayer and PvP
>>31637937
Every gen has always had it's fans and not-so-fans.
[31639706]
Actually try being original if you want that (You).
>>31637937
I remember it was teeming with underage hoenniggers but there was absolutely no love for Gen 4
Also yeah it's cool to hate the current gen. The fact that Gen 6 has passed and everybody still agrees it sucks is telling though.
>>31632620
>gen 5 was the peak
no
>it's over
good
>>31639783
I liked the other 4
>>31640447
>OH yeah, new bros time
>Patrat, Pidove, Patrat, Pidove, Watchog, Herdier, Pidove
>Here use this shitty monkey
>"Cool Pokémon! Oh, requires trade evolution"
>Look up Pokémon: caught over there, 5 feet from the door to the E4, 5% of the time
>"Oh look, new Pokémon, let's look when it starts becoming useful: Evolves first stage at lv. 40, second stage at lv. '60'
>....
For having more new Pokémon than any generation ever, it did a real bad way of exposing them to you.Then again, Gen 7 did just the fucking same with its new Pokémon distribution, so at least we know GF didn't learn its lesson
>>31641033
Most of these only apply for the first two gyms other than the lategame stuff.
Pinwheel Forest and the desert areas open a lot of potential possibilities for bros. I feel like BW1 did a good job of introducing new Pokemon throughout the game, unlike Kanto where it's literally the same thing every other route, with a lot of unique stuff shoved into the Safari Zone or just as gifts only.
>/vp/ will never travel back in time and take over development of XY
game freak will come through one day
>>31641064
Only thing useful out of pinwheel was Lilligant.
Everything else was shit.
Plus you're forced to go like 6-7 games with unevolved mons cuz of BW's shitty evolution levels. Did anyone get to enjoy the real cool mons from BW in the campaign? I was eager to use shit like Bisharp, Braviary, Volcarona and Chandelure ingame, but they were pretty mcuh non-options since they're all gotten pretty much at E4's door and even by E4 levels, they still wouldn't evolve.
I played BW after GTS was discontinued and it drained me. Only like 10 Pokémon useful for the campaign and a tutorial every town informing me of features I couldn't enjoy any more. I got access to Transporter and haven't picked it up since except for transferring gen 3+4 mons over.
>not injecting cgear skins on your game
>not injecting Pokémon on your entree Forest
>not injecting events and pwt tournaments
Its all possible. Really, the only thing left is a easier way to use the alternative servers. If everyone actually wants we can go back to the glory days.
>>31641192
Yeah, sure.
>>31641179
>>not injecting cgear skins on your game
>>not injecting Pokémon on your entree Forest
>>not injecting events and pwt tournaments
I didn't knew that was possible.
Time to play gen 5 again.
>>31640447
It kinda sucks that because of the huge amount of negative feedback they got regarding this, they'll probably never do it again. I didn't appreciate it the first time I played through BW but god, it's better than playing through what's ultimately Kanto with a different layout.
>>31641136
>Scoliopede
>Conkeldurr
>Leavanny
>Shit
>gen 7 is the peak and it's still going on
>>31641296
Scolipede and Leavanny are pretty shit, anon. Bugs aren't that good ingame.
Also, Conkeldurr is a trade evolution.
>>31640447
>>31641290
I don't know how to feel. On one hand the main reason I don't really dislike BW was actually the idea of using all sorts of mons that don't get much time in the limelight that are legitimately good bros, but on the other hand the cold reality is that it will really piss off people who don't like the majority of the designs which is honestly fair.
>>31641311
>Scolipede and Leavanny are pretty shit
>>31641347
For ingame use? Yeah they are. Scolipede doesn't get anything strong till either move relearner or level 50, plus poison and bug gets like hardwalled by half the Pokémon you encounter along the way.
Leavanny suffers from mostly the same fate, and its two 4x weaknesses to relatively common types doesn't help (plus being weak to like half of all types).
>>31641397
Giant bug horse thing is still awesome though.
>>31637937
That never happened.
In fact gen 4 received more hate then than it does now.
>>31641136
I've been playing it over and over for another living dex
Mons are pretty evenly distributed. Only off spot is just after Gym 4 all the way up to Celestial Tower, plus Dragonspiral and Victory Road - They for some reason concentrated mons a bit more heavily. If Deerling was back over in Pinwheel, Joltik maybe a rare Pokemon near Nimbasa, Golett as a rare encounter in the ruins, and Rufflet/Vullaby *literally anywhere else pre Victory Road why the fuck are those two THAT late game?*, then it would have been great. As it is, the balance still isn't all that horrible
>>31641311
The only bug that has ever been utter shit was Ledian dude.
>>31641458
Oh yeah, he's one the coolest things from BW and I love big bug types. But for ingame it's horseshit.
Gen 6 redeemed it by making it a force virtually equal to the other big bugs (Heracross, Scizor) along with Pinsir
Gen 7 also made me appreciate Leavanny a lot. Great for capturing and probably the best user of the newly buffed Fell Stinger.
But good competitive != Good postgame != Good in the campaign
>>31641491
Fair. Maybe it's just me, but the new mons I found appealing in BW were pretty much endgame only and that bummed me out.
Plus, I was coming from a Gen 4 binge where Pt allowed me to get Gible just after the second gym. Why don't they do that more?
>>31641539
I dunno, mine in my White nuzlocke was crazy good and reliable the entire time. Dumb luck for me I guess.
I do wish they would make the pseudo more available early or halfway through the campaign. I wanted to run Kommo-o in my Sun nuzlocke, but by Poni Island, my team was already full and type balanced.
>>31641611
Indeed, I mean in Pt, literally just after finishing the second gym:
>Went into the hidden cave and caught a Gible
>Caught a Gligar
>Skipped a town and got Scyther
>Skipped two towns and got a Porygon
>Picked up Razor Fang
I had my full team by gym 3. It does require trade evos but getting those strong Pokémon this early was a delight.
Granted, Gible didn't become a Garchomp until I was literally on Victory Road it kinda had to be carried when the rest of my squad overpowered it, but I forgive him since vs the E4 he was the only one standing in like 3/5 fights as I couldn't be bothered grinding my team.
>>31641611
>Dumb luck for me I guess.
Its not so much dumb luck as much as it is Scolipede is a very solid Mon for in game runs even prior to speed boost.
>>31641301
We'll they're the most recent and did many things right. I hope we get Stars or something else to refine it next.
Gen 5 is ugly in every way
>>31641664
Yeah, I was just surprised how good Scolipede was for my team; usually early bugs don't last long on my teams, but Steve (my Scolipede) proved me wrong.
>>31641653
I kinda like an even balance of my team not growing too fast and strong too early, but not taking forever to come into their own either.
>>31641665
I dunno, man. We thought we'd be getting some conclusion to XY via superior third version/sequels, but that never came to fruition.
I don't have high hopes for a refined version or sequels for SM.
>>31641301
>tfw no Pokemon Stars to be the Emerald of this shitty games that Sun & Moon turned out to be
>tfw we get remakes of the shittiest region right after Kalos instead
