What was it like crossing Skyarrow Bridge for the first time?

Slightly unnerving because I'm afraid of heights, but with my Pokémon partners there to support me I knew I could conquer my fears!

underwhelming. at this point I was getting bored of pokemon and this felt like fluff more than anything. it isn't a game mechanic, it isn't fun, it's just a straight path that looked nice *for a pokemon game* at the time. I got back into pokemon since then but I still think that was lame

>This would be a good place to hatch eggs
Route 117 is still the best though.

Orgasmic. The music is fucking great, the visuals were lovely and finding the "middle spot" like that one NPC said was some lighthearted fun. Definitely one of my favourite locations in the franchise.

>>33440663
>the visuals were lovely
Oh fuck I actually choked.

>>33440592
pretty nice

I remember I liked it so much I actually ran back so I could do it again

I was really surprised
It was really astonishing

>>33440592
i can't remember desu... i don't really remember what gen it's from, either. i think it was probably 5. i dunno. up until ORAS, i have played each game several times... unmemorable, i guess.

>>33440592
It was hype. It was a fairly light-hearted beginning to the adventure, but it felt weighted. The music made you feel like your journey was about to begin, and the visuals gave an air of grandiose design to the whole thing. It was a perfect bridge between the setup of the game (first two gyms, limited mon variety, tutorial for beginners, setup of plot) and the actual start of the game. It's a good symbolic piece and it builds the rest of the game up from there. (All of the other bridges help drive home the point that it's a transitory thing, too, and it adds cohesion to the region.)

Very, very good.

>everything has to be hyper hd to be good
chrono trigger and secret of mana are gorgeous games
gen 4 into 5 had the best in game art style for pokemon, the scenes at the beginning of b2w2 especially match the feel of the game perfectly and THAT is what makes the graphics good

>>33440592
Annoying because you don't have the Bike the first time you cross it

>>33440737
My nigga

>start walking
>see trucks
>OHHH SHIIIIIIIIT THEY DID IT
>run to castelia expecting to see a super huge city with cars and shit

I enjoyed it though, it felt like a big step for GF

>>33440737
>everything has to be hyper hd to be good
Great projection friend. I love low poly shit however gen 5 had some of the shittiest 3D graphics I've ever seen in my life and GF needs to get acquainted with a little something called anti-aliasing.

>>33440592
Boring.
No trainer to fight there and Castelia is a shit city anyway.

>>33440592
shit like all the following bridges
waste of time, a route would have been shorter

>>33441028
This was the fucking DS. Anti-Aliasing was near-impossible.

>>33440592
It was amazing, grand, positively scrumptious

>>33440592
Incredible. I didn't expect to enjoy it but I really did take in everything.

>>33440592
Really really fucking boring. Gen 5 has the worst locations in any game in the series. The region is more tolerable as a whole than Sinnoh but it's just so forgettable.

Was definitely overjoyed! Loved the music and the uplifting vibe.

>>33440592
Played BW2 first & it was postgame before I saw it, so it was just a longer more underwhelming version of the other two or three bridges I'd already crossed. Realised it was quite cool when I finally got around to playing BW though & was actually going towards Castelia instead of away from it

>>33441404
the void in my souls doesnt fill with anything now

>>33440652
Everybody is always talking about muh oceans but Hoenn had some god tier land routes

>>33440592
Pretty nice but now i think it's a little visually bland

>>33441642
In fact in all my playthrough i generally avoided this area after passing through a few times

>>33440592
I liked it, but now it's just tedious.
I like the bridge that gives you free EVs.

it was magical for me it made me happy as it was my first ds pokemon game as missed out on gen 4

>according to /vp/
"Like opening your 10 year old eyes."
>according to olderfags
"I just want to move on."
"There's nothing to do here except walk and talk."
>according to actual children
"purty."
Distortion World was the most fun Pokemon location on the DS.

This place looks like Celesteela

Marine Tube was more comfier desu

>>33441028
>no anti-aliasing and STILL looks fantastic
exactly my point

>>33440592
Even now, this is still the best instance of 3D in the franchise

Back in 2010 when all the trailers were coming out for BW in Japan, I thought it looked really cool because there had never been anything like it in Pokémon at the time. It was also cool to see that Pokémon world design was evolving with the expanded use of 3D graphics. Ultimately, when I played the game in English the next year, it wasn't as great as I had hoped. It was really, really long with nothing meaningful in terms of actual gameplay. You could argue that it was a good place to hatch eggs, but it wasn't anywhere near a daycare. It just felt like an area that was all looks and no substance. There could have been more to it that warranted continued visits and exploration.

The bridge looks like Celesteele

DEEPEST LORE

>tfw I played White2 over original BW
I wondered why there we're preschoolers with pokemon strong enough to take on the league on the other side

>>33441676
>free evs
Literally what

Honestly? It was amazing for the first time but if you wanted to return it was annoying

I was expecting there to be something besides just 3D graffix. Like, a battle or some scripted story event or somesuch. Still an okay transition from Pinwheel Forest to Castelia... though I was wondering where the fuck all the vehicles were coming from.

>>33443929
Driftveil Drawbridge and Marvelous Bridge sometimes have shadow spots that may drop wings.

i dont give a shit one way or the other
its just a road, like all the other roads in all the other games
am i supposed to give a shit?

I don't really remember how it was the first time, but I still love that place. The music and the overall atmosphere were so comfy.
It was my go-to place whenever I had to hatch eggs during Gen 5.

i still feel chills when i replay and go across this road, just like my first time. you still have a high from the last tough gym, and are on your way to another, even tougher gym with these creatures you're growing attached to. in fact i think this thread encouraged me to replay it. b&w had some of the best routes.

pokemon is about the magic of adventure and i think this captures that perfectly. the soundtrack was amazing too, it encouraged me to pick up the piano all those years ago just so i could play it, and today i have so many compositions under my belt. i guess i sort of went on my own a grand adventure in that regard.

Going straight through route 209 to 210 was my favorite.
