Name a better jrpg than Pokemon gold
That's right, you fucking can't

pokemon crystal

This
Pokemon Blue
>>3697116
Pokemon ORAS
>>3697231
NOT RETRO
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>3697174
This
>>3697231
Who made this? A pedo or a teenager?
Dark Souls
Mother 3
>>3697325
A teenager could be a pedo (but not an ephebo)
>>3697231
>worse version of pokemon emerald
no
Undertale
>>3697116
Pokemon silver
>>3697174
Lol no
>>3697434
lol, remember that fotm shit?
the indie scene is so bizarre
>>3697439
>literally gold with more features
>worse
?
>>3697446
At this point I'd consider it less a fotm and more a cult hit like Earthbound.
>>3697116
I don't think any of the pokemon games are actually good.
>>3697231
I hate that game way more than I should.

>>3697231
This is the only Pokemon remake so far that's been complete shit. The other two(Pokemon HG/SS and FR/LG) were amazing. How did GameFreak fuck up so badly?
>>3697447
He's probably salty that you can't catch mareep in Crystal
>>3697731
To be fair it is kind of a downer not being able to get an Ampharobro
>>3697228
>tfw my pokemon blue cartridge with a legit mew is gone forever
>>3697751
>legit mew
how?
>>3697764
Toys R Us promotion. You would take in your gameboy and one of their employees would trade you a Mew for one of your garbage Pokemon. My friend's mom knew someone else who's kids were too young to care about a gameboy game and she had a stack of those coupons for it so we each got one (even though we already had gamesharked ones way before that)
>Gold
>not Silver
Silver wins for me because of better sprites. Playing Gold after Silver and seeing Typholosions goofy hunched model disappointed me
>>3697174
FPBP
>>3697174
agreed
>>3697775
That tin tower tho
>>3697116
Real talk? Final Fantasy VII would say X but that's a little too triggering for this board.
>>3697731
mareep is cool
I don't want to be the guy but I have a hard time naming a worse one except for the previous Pokemon games.
>>3697764
>>3697767
got one in my yellow
>>3697726
What do you expect when you remake the game that ended the series status as a phenomenon and ditched the actual brains behind the series.
>>3699070
You should keep a backup of that. Like transfer it to an everdrive, copy the save file to your computer, and transfer it back.
>>3697174
+1
>>3697436
>>3697775
These.
Silver>Gold>Crystal
Crystal doesn't have Aeroblast Lugia, or Sacred Ash Ho-oh, all it had was a can't fail at catching one of the legendaries that are meant to be a hunt capture minigame.
Only time Crystal beats the other two is when you Link your Lugia/Ho-oh into the game at a point where they don't feel power leveled.
>>3699167
IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM
>>3699420
Indeed it does. Even though we could just clone that using a BrainBoy.
>>3697174
Came here to post this.

>palette swap
>bust increasei want a 3D porn of ORAS May
>>3697726
FR/LG is pretty damn good (though not perfect) and HG/SS is GOAT.
I hear S/M is leagues better than the whole gen ORAS was on. I dunno what drugs GF were taking over ORAS and X/Y, but they must've been pretty hard.
>>3697731
Emu Edition though.
after playing gold recently as its consistantly rated one of the better games, imo, the originals in red/blue were better more engaging game imo. esepcially when gold essentially had the red/blue games just tacked on with very little additional content and a lot of it missing
ie. safari zone closed, etc.
I may be biased seeing as I also frequent /vp/, but the first 2 gens of Pokemon are my favorite JRPGs. I think the way the party system is structured is a cool innovative way of battling. I really like the atmosphere of both gens, especially GSC. I think that Red/Blue had the better story (I like its simplicity), but GSC definitely had the better setting and music.
>>3700086
S/M takes several sacred cows to the slaughter.
Like HMs.
>>3701401
making TMs reusable was shitty, removing HMs entirely is even worse
>>3701558
Said no one ever.
>>3701558
>Defending HMs
HMs were a shit mechanic, the overwhelming majority of the attacks were shit, and being unable to un-learn them was bullshit as hell. The idea of having an HM Slave meant that your team was forced to carry a mediocre Pokemon just to progress.
It was shit then, it was shit in GSC, it was shit in Ruby/Sapphire, it was shit in Diamond/Pearl, it was shit in Black/White, and shit in X/Y.
Death to HMs. One of the worst, if not THE worst mechanics in Pokemon, and definitely a contender for a top ten "Terrible mechanics in well-known games" list.
>>3701728
>It was shit then, it was shit in GSC
HM bullshit was a neccesary evil to idiot-proof the game when bag space was limited.
>Teach squirtle surf
>Put surf HM in the PC
>Surf across a pond
>Overwrite surf
>Save
>You're fucked
It's obsolete now. I don't know if they could have ditched it sooner. The DS games maybe.
>>3701812
Still doesn't justify why you couldn't just forget it with the move-eraser guy. Remember him?
>>3701854
Was there one in RBY? I thought that was new for GSC.
>>3701812
>"This badge will allow some Pokemon to Cut/Surf/Fly/Whatever!"
>Pokemon gains this ability without the associated move
Problem solved
>>3701812
If you do that you deserve to have a fucked save.
>>3697116
Gold has two continents?
>>3701858
Nope, that was GSC onward.
The remakes finally put him in though.
>>3702060
It's a game designer's job to prevent this from being possible at all. Regardless if they "deserve it."
Hell, I wouldn't doubt if Nintendo's testing and debugging department found it and made them change it.
>>3697116
>Never travel to more than one region anymore
Why?
And why can't I catch ALL Pokemon without version specificity, and evolve them all without having to trade with some other shitter?
The fuck GameFreak?
>>3702082
Because Satoshi Tajiri wanted shy kids to make friends.
>>3702086
But friends are awful, shitty people who will ALWAYS turn on you if it benefits them.
>>3702087
More news at 7, 4chan user is anti-friends.
>>3702093
Shut up, normie faggot. Get out, ree etc. etc.
>>3702082
technically gen 2 wasn't even intended to have 2 regions
Reason is a combination of game freak planning ahead in the most money grubbin way possible(gotta leave room for lazy remakes/remove features to reintroduce them later as new) and the idea that you might as well make 1 super region instead of two good ones
>>3701728
Chill man.
In RBY there are only 5 HMs
Fly, Surf, and Strength are all good moves, in fact Surf is the best water move in the game.
Cut is passable if you put it on a normal type for STAB. It has lots of PP.
Flash is trash but you can skip it because the Rock Cave is only 2 floors.
In G/S/C there is a move deleter NPC so they are not permanent.
>>3702057
Pretty much. Just putting "Fly" as an evolution ability for Pidgeot or any flying pokemon would have made more sense than an HM
>>3697116
Legend of the Seven Stars.
>>3697116
On the NES, atleast.
