Tbh, all this region gave us was Mimikyu and the concept of regional variations, which could have been executed much better.

I thought you meant shit like Gothitelle that was basically just Unovan Gardevoir.
>>31762832
thanks doc
One thing that pisses me off so much about these games is how most of the gym leaders don't even use Generation 2 pokemon
You're gonna make brand new pokemon and not have certain major NPC's using them
>>31762871
That was one thing I was hoping the remakes would do. Rather than just update the graphics I was hoping they'd rebalance the game.
>>31762871
I'm guessing they realized halfway through that most Gen 2 Pokemon are shit.
>>31762597

I like s, not too much into the m part.

Who grinds in a children's game? Holy moly.
>>31765090
I actually love how much they increased the difficulty of the Battle Tree relative to the Tower/Maison.
...Which certainly doesn't mean I wouldn't have preferred them put in the full Frontier, while maintaining said difficulty increase. Pray for Frontier in Stars. But we've all read that fucking bullshit that GF dev said about "modern gamers not having the time/effort" to put into post-game content because of mobile phone games.

>Most wild pokemon are kanto
The fuck? This is also a problem in HGSS, way too many kanto shitters everywhere. And even when there are gen 2 Pokemon, it's mostly early-shitters as well, most of the legit gen 2 are behind low encounter rates.
>Incredibly low chance you find any new pokemon
Go try to catch a Yanma in HGSS. Oh wait, it has a fucking 1% encounter rate on a single route. Sure is easy to cherrypick examples eh?
>Some newer pokemon are basically remade versions of kanto pokemon
Are you whining about Alolan Formes? Because they're actually a great idea, and every single one improved upon the originals- and mainly because the original Pokemon were bland as fuck. I hate Geodude and Persian's new look- but they're still better than their original uninspired designs; really says a lot about how shit some gen I Pokemon are. The only failure about Alolan Formes is how few they made.
>No good places to grind
The fuck? Gen 2 had the worst level curve of all the generations, and HGSS didn't even fix it either. They left out the Sevii Islands from FRed/LGreen which could have partially alleviated it.
Sun/Moon has it's flaws without a doubt, but bring some legitimate fucking arguments. "Muh cherrypicked nostalgia" is your argument. Case dismissed.
Half of the Johto mons were supposed to be in red/blue/green/yellow anyway.
>>31762597
>So tell me, why do we love Heart Gold and Soul Silver so much?
I don't. I'd rather play the original GS than the remakes.
>In playing Gold and Heart Gold, literally only Johtomon in my team was the starter
>In playing Moon, my ENTIRE team was Alolamons without even trying
Knew something wasn't gonna be right from the start desu

Because it was fun and the postgame content kept me entertained whilst posing a challenge. The gimmicks were enjoyable without affecting the gameplay and the walking pokémon feature was cute.
>>31762597
Is it weird that HGSS and SM are my least favourite games, mainly due to grinding issues amongst the many problems I have with them?
>>31762871
>Clair had three Dragonair before, we better change one to Gyarados so it's less redundant
>Morty's Gym doesn't use Misdreavus at all, let's not change that because having the Gastly line for an entire Gym is clearly fine
Archer and Ariana are literally the only Team Rocket members to use Johto Pokemon either.
>>31765718
>Archer uses a physical Houndoom
No legit place to grind? Easy, just use the Pokepelago level exploit
>>31762597
>Most wild pokemon are kanto

That's wrong though, Johto mons are mostly well distributed in the places they appear (except for the few exclusives to Kanto maybe). And since 1/3 of the generation are babies/cross-gen evos, it's normal that they aren't a lot of them.
Also, the region is just next to Kanto, so it seems logical to find the same species in both regions.
Now explain me why Kanto mons are so prominent in Alola and why here new mons have 1% rarities, or only available through obscure ways (hi Mareanie)
>Some newer pokemon are basically remade versions of kanto pokemon
Which ones? The starters? The cross-gen evos? Also each gen have regional birds, regional rodent and shit like that and no one bats an eye.
And Unova dex had more 'basically remade versions of kanto pokemon'
>So tell me, why do we love Heart Gold and Soul Silver so much?
Because if you love a game only because of its dex then you probably have some issues.
I honestly don't like RS dex but it's still one of my favorite game.
>>31765868

>Go try to catch a Yanma in HGSS. Oh wait, it has a fucking 1% encounter rate on a single route. Sure is easy to cherrypick examples eh?
Swarms are a thing my guy
Silver is still my favorite game but I do honestly wish there were less Kanto mons everywhere. I guess at the time they just wanted to play it safe. "Look, new stuff, but also the stuff you already like. Please still love us."I really don't care about the damn level curve people keep bitching about because all Pokemon games are easy.
>>31762597
Because of walking Pokemon my dude
I would literally kill 50% of the entire Pokedex if it meant I could get wallking Pokemon back
>>31766823
Something that pissed me off was that in the originals you could only find Houndour in Kanto. What fucking sense does that make? Silver's still one of my favorites though, Gold is for losers.
>>31766846
Walking Pokemon is nice but it's overrated as fuck. I would never kill 50% of the Pokedex for that.
>>31762597
Because the actual game is great and can be fixed with the Drayano romhack.
The only SM romhacks so far are ass and they don't do anything to fix the fucking cut scenes.
>>31762832
danks thoc
>>31766914
>can be fixed with the Drayano romhack.
Kek. Romhacks are not part of the official game and thus should not be a factor in determining how good a game is. With your logic you could call any Pokemon game good or perfect which is complete bullshit.

makes sense, considering Gamefreak is the Japanese equivalent of Bethesda.
