JPRPokeTrainer98 gen 2: needs more available Pokemon even before post game,regular trainer rematches should happen, hms removed dead giveaway same with walking with our Pokemon,
Gen 3 and 6 need more of a challenge Gen 4 needs to keep the battle frontier Gen 1 needs to find another way of level training our Pokemon since we can't fight wild Pokemon anymore which sucks due to catching mechanics and I don't think berries will simply do it
Gen 1: Better Ghost and Bug type moves available, better Wrap and CH mechanics, and have a post game besides Mewtwo. Like Pokédex completion unlocking some events. Gen 2: Make Kanto more challenging and interesting (addressed in remakes) Gen 3: Find a way to fit all 386 Pokémon into the Hoenn region even if a metric ton are shoved in the Safari Zone. Gen 4: Colosseum and XD sequels. Slow surfing and huge gap between Gen 2 and 3 :( Gen 5: Make the 7 sages battle bosses and Hugh more interesting other than a vengeful edgy teen. Gen 6: Needs more post game. Gen 7: Useful TMs not being available until post game and also just bogging down the story in points of the game that didn’t need it as much as others.
@@CaelVK At least Barry could actually put together good teams that require switching and strategy. I'm pretty sure I've swept Hau and Hop with whatever Pokemon I led with every time, including Nuzlockes.
Player: uses a super effective move on his pokemon Hop: "ha, i knew you'd go the super effective route" "proceeds to not adjust his strategy in any way, shape or form"
*saves before a battle* “Oh dang I should switch which Pokémon I have in the first slot” *saves* *reads moby dick* *climbs everest* *learns Latin* “Saving complete!”
Lunar Eclipse Im 25, Venezuelan, loved Pokemon since ever and just recently have been able to play Pokémon Y in the Citra. My life stopped around fith generation.
or you could be me and be absolutely terrible at the game and barely beat it in a few months because you've never picked up a pokemon game before still fun games though
@@gallantmon4 Gens 2 & 3 weren’t quite as bad in this regard. For one thing, there were multiple pockets in the bag. Also, you could still see what item it was, so you could decide whether it was worth making room for.
The Current Gens from Generation 5 onwards are Linear, Generation 5, Generation 6, Generation 7 and Generation 8 are Linear, but Generation 5 & Generation 7 are the Most Linear because the Story is damn good, so the progression are the most Linear in Both Generation 5 & Generation 7, Logic right ? Generation 8 is Linear too because the story is good, but it’s not as Linear as Generation 5 & Generation 7.
I’m just gonna say that not being linear causes an issue where the middle gym leaders all have to be around the same strength, look at the johto games, The mid game sucks lol.
@@oliverleonard7730 you CAN do them in any order, however in 2 the 6th gym leaders Ace is a higher level than the 7th gym leaders. And not a single trainer in the post game other than blue and red have stronger Pokemon than elite four.
Gen 4 is my favorite generation of pokemon! There's probably a lot of nostalgia taking over that opinion since diamond was my first pokemon game, but even so, I love the pokemon in that region more than any other region, except with maybe gen 5 making it competitive. I could replay that game over and over again any amount of times.
As I 90s kid who can recite you the first 151 Pokémon by Pokédex order....Gen 2 is the best and those genwunners who don't love Gen 2 (despite Gen 2 being the ideas that weren't ready in 1996, just look at Scizor and Lugia) are fake genwunners.
i love gen four but did they really think lowering acurracy of all stats would be fun?? its not even an interesting challenge, like lowering atk or something COULD be. it just slows the game down
Summary: Gen 1: broken game mechanics Gen 2: lack of Pokemon diversity Gen 3: characters are stale Gen 4: pacing is slow Gen 5: region/game is linear Gen 6: way too easy Gen 7: too many cutscenes
Generation 4, specifically Platinum, was also probably the peak of intentional difficulty. Rather than moves or stats being broken engine-wise, you had stuff like Cynthia's maximum-meta team with a level 62 Garchomp beating people into the ground that probably only had mid-50s pokemon, unless you specifically picked up a Piloswine and evolved to Mamoswine just to counter it.
@@BushDidMT-T According to Bulbapedia in Diamond and Pearl it was 66. She trades out Gastrodon for Togekiss and her Garchomp goes down four levels to 62 in platinum, likely after Game Freak realized it was already far too powerful and needed fixing. If it had been 75 on the first encounter I guarantee almost nobody except perfectly min/maxed teams would have been able to beat her without grinding for days beforehand.
@@lukebarber3899 Yea, her team is on average lv 75 in black and white 1, (and overall way harder than her DP iteration in things like movesets) although in BW2 her team does get slightly easier
@Callum Booth because the real quality games (mario odyssey, botw, smash,...) came out in previous years. This year, no big games were released, apart from lm3, wich comes from a franchise with a smaller fanbase than pokemon, and mario maker 2, a game that already proved it will release epic updates with tons of new stuff. So your argument doesn't prove anything. Game freak should be ashamed to release such poor quality on such a strong console.
@Callum Booth the only hope of Pokémon becoming good again, is that GF gets some competition, and people buy their games instead. The problem is 12 year olds will see this new franchise as a rip-off, even if the company put more care in it than GF did. (looking at games like Temtem) I honestly believe Pokémon is doomed
Oh and I noticed ORAS literally throws legendaries at you like they’re candy and the whole thing that excites me about legendaries is that they’re hard to get.
B2W2 did that too, since gen 5 those 2nd installment games are meant to catch new players up and give them a way to access those older legends without having to jump through insane hoops to get them.
M Elizabeth I liked how you can get a lot of legendaries. However I wished they made you do a puzzle or something since that’s fun. Hence why the REGI’s are considered the best TRIO of all Gens. The puzzles make it unique
Deoxys was so hard to catch tho. Since I had used my masterball on kyogre I had to ultraball rayquaza and Deoxys and it took so long cause every time I messed up I had to go through the cutscene. It was so bad that my second time playing through I saved my master just for Deoxys
Without a doubt, my least favorite thing about Pokemon X and Y is that the game basically hands you a complete Pokemon team without you even having to lift a finger. 80% of the time that I asked my friends what their team was they would say WITHOUT FAIL: Their Kalos Starter Their Kanto Starter Lucario with Mega Stone from 3rd Gym Leader Lapras (given by game so you can Surf) Talonflame (Route 1 Bird Pokemon) Xerneas/Yveltal (Game prevents you from NOT catching it)
50% of that was my team. Chestnaught Blastoise Tyrantrum Umbreon Talonflame Goodra Chestnaught and Blastoise was given as a starter. Caught a Fletching in one of the routes along with Eevee and Sliggoo and revived a fossil to get Tyrunt. To this day I still play Pokemon Y because it can be nostalgia.
Gen 1. unbalanced Gen 2. bland Gen 3. laid out poorly Gen 4. slow Gen 5. linear Gen 6. not enough new pokémon Gen 7. handholding Gen 8. cut the dex in half
@@uberdawn Yeah I'm sure the amazing Flash will sure be missed! Oh man I'm so mad they removed Flash! It was my Starter's best move! Awh man! What's next? They remove Karate Chop?! Oh man they removed that too! Now I can't beat the game with the amazing Flash/Karate Chop combo! Nooooooo. 🙄
Gen 8’s flaws are pretty big imo, intensely easy, cutting the Pokédex initially sucks, a lot of animations from recent gens got worse somehow, like the Pokémon refresh animations that are now complete trash
Noxtrin going in water is like entering a cave except no zubats and you only encounter water types. (When I think of it, what’s even the point in fishing rods??)
Gen 6 would have been fixed so much if: A) ALL gym leaders (Edit: all gyms after the first with mega stones) and Elite 4 carried a mega & you occasionally came across a trainer carrying one
@@darko-man8549 I still agree with you, though. I'm pretty sure that the last 5 gym battles were the easiest ones. They just really missed a Mega (and of course, full movesets on their Pokémon).
I would give Korrina a mega Lucario in her gym battle, but only use a Lucario and a Mienfoo to make up for the use of a mega in the third gym. Then, I wouldn't give Ramos or Clemont Megas because mega evolution doesn't really fit with them. Then, Valorie would be the first since Korrina to have a mega, and she'd have mega Mawile. Olympia would have mega Alakazam. Wulfric would have mega Abomasnow obviously. As for the elite 4, Seabold would have Mega Blastoise, Malva would have mega Houndoom, Wikstrom would have mega Scizor, and Drasna would have mega Altaria.
Wrong! I believe that there is not enough water on the Hoenn map! Hence why I bought AS and as soon as I encountered Archie I lost and never played the game again!
Gameplaywise the water is easily the worst part of Gen 3, though. It was a pretty common criticism of the game but everyone likes to pretend like it wasn't because they don't know how to read IGN reviews.
Platinum is still my favorite to this day, but I agree that the pacing does feel sluggish at times, especially in Diamond and Pearl. To me, Platinum was everything I wanted: Difficult at times, a decent post game, memorable characters, and endless replayability with the VS seeker. I still remember smiling after I beat the Elite Four for the first time and rechallenged the very first trainer. His Starly was a nearly level 60 starraptor, and I was happy for him.
I don't want to bash your favourite game, but I don't get why people like Gen 4 I absolutely hate it. Pacing is soooo sloooow, i'm uninterested in every character because they are boring imo. Cyrus is the only one who actually makes the game exciting. I don't care about the legendaries, the story is boring and the regional pokedex is horrible. I hate the big amount of HMs and i don't want to explore the region because I hate going back to the pc to get my one Starly that knows defog. Personally, I think the region doesn't have any notable places and the atmosphere is relaxing but also boring. I do get though when people say they like the atmosphere. Though I have to say I love some of the Gym battles and Cynthias battle was pretty great aswell. A challenge is always nice
Generally when people call the game slow I don’t think they mean pacing? They mean battle speed, saving the game, etc, instead of plot speed. The game just runs really slow and clunky like compared to others. I’ve not heard many people complain about the plot speed itself other than a few people who just hate the whole game in general.
@@mr.fister4738 damn you really left this long ass comment bashing someone’s favorite game when no one asked and it has very little to do with what they commented about
I...actually like the slower pacing of Gen 4. Makes the adventure feel bigger, longer and beating it gives ya more of an accomplishment feeling and hey Routes takin more time is a reason why Gen 4 music and areas are so iconic But not everyone likes that, I understand
ZearibIn i swear to god,when I used to play Gen 4 a long time ago without the gen 5 being released it was pretty much okay because it was the only Pokémon I’ve got under my hand but when I started playing gen 5 and then coming back to the game,it was such sufferings:’),The game was way too slow,the dialogues felt slow,the encounters you had,the fights and just because overall the difficult completing since I had started a new one..I was unable to continue the story I didn’t even reach the league because with all my nostalgia,the game has become too painless and difficult...,I’ll do admit way too long and difficult games aren’t made like that anymore
Yeah it was my first game and some thing should be speed up BUT not the health bar or routes I agree. Make it difficult. Make experienced players fear they might jot make it out of a cave or not.
I find it so fascinating how each generation has their own particular flaws and strengths. Its irritating because they ARE flaws, but the fact that they all have different ones make you realize how different they all truly are from one another. Now I feel like I need to think of the greatest strengths of each of the generations...
maybe something like this? gen 1 has that familiar feeling even if you never played pokemon, which just draws people in gen 2 by far the best post game gen 3 idk gen 4 idk gen 5 best story gen 6 megas gen 7 something new and different
Gen 1: Invented the series. :P Gen 2: Day and night cycling, better balancing, returning to Kanto. Gen 3: Introducing remakes and differences between versions. Gen 4: Physical/special split. Gen 5: Incredible story and post-game. Gen 6: Finally becoming 3D. Gen 7: No gym battles (I love gyms, but it’s a nice breath of fresh air)
So what you're telling me, is if someone made a version of X & Y that was actually difficult, and a version of the Gen 7 games that had a skip cutscene button, they'd be the two most popular points on the internet?
Wow I never realized how linear gen 5 was... I guess because it has other strengths and such a strong post game it never ruined my experience. Black 2 and white 2 had a lot of optional content and was one of my favourite generations to complete the Pokédex.
LMAO i just kept my 3ds on charge and went to watch youtube videos while waiting for the cutscenes to end ...and come back 3 hours later after I forgot
Some here are saying that Game Freak is focusing too much on their child audience these days and how children aren't the core audience anymore. I disagree. I don't think the problem is that they support a younger audience too much. I believe the actual problem is that they underestimate the younger audience too much. Game Freak seems to forget that children were perfectly capable of beating and enjoying Gen 1 even with all it's difficulty and broken behaviour. In America kids don't care as much about Pokemon anymore, but there are still many who do. In Japan the audience is still extremely large among children. The problem isn't the kids abilities, the popularity of Pokemon, or a shift in the ages of the core audience. The problem is Game Freaks perception of their child audience. They think they'll pull in more people by over simplifying the games. That may be true for some in the short term, but long term they will damage their core fanbase (as we've seen the beginnings of recently). People aren't attracted to Pokemon because it's easy to digest like "X amount of mobile games" out there. They play Pokemon because it's incredible to go on a journey with naught but your creatures by your side on an uphill battle to be the best and collect them all. That is the appeal, to believe it is something different is to doom the brand. Personally I believe the current direction of the mainline Pokemon games is primarily the doing of Junichi Masuda given his statements on the matter in recent years. I can only hope he realizes his error before it's too late.. or someone else takes a step in this ring
I disagree and you contradict yourself. Pokemon is about collecting all pokemon and winning battles, that much you said, but for that there is no need for it to be challenging. Simple as that. And to be clear I DO like challenging gyms/leagues better, but I could easily handle any of it, I am no longer 10. Also do kids still play their friends? That was the most fun in pokemon for me and for that i didnt need a hard AI.
@@placebo4874 You disagreeing with half of my statement is not me contradicting myself. You're correct in saying there is no "need" for it to be challenging. Heck, if it's only about collecting Pokemon and battling then there's no "need" for the not so challenging gyms or elite four to begin with. That wasn't my point. The fact that you yourself, an older fan of the series, attest to enjoying more challenging gyms is proof that their inclusion would benefit the playerbase. Especially given your tastes are not rare within said playerbase. Yes, we are no longer ten, but those Pokemon fans that are near that age are not going to up and stop playing because the game made a return to a higher difficulty. Plus I'm not arguing it be standard, just an option for older/more experienced players. Also yes, kids still have friends to battle, that doesn't nullify my argument. I remember specifically growing up making semi competitive to actual competitive teams and having no one around who was half decent to play against due to my location. So no, what I said still stands. You can disagree, but these are my points. Do you have further thoughts on it?
*Junichi Masuda* will not be in charge for the next pokemon games, including the 2019 core pokemon game. I really appreciated his work but now it’s time for some new blood
I will say that as a Pokémon crystal fanboy I'll let you know one thing. You can get the evolutionary stones early. You have to use the phone to talk with specific trainers and then they will occasionally call you when they find the Stone. You can get the Firestone as early as the 3rd gym from the psychic type trainer right before the Sudowoodo fight. Which is ironic because the first patches of grass before mahogany town have growlithes in them. Fun fact.
I hate that comic where the Genforer is thrown from the building... Makes me want to break the guy's fall, go right back up myself and break the offending party's face.
deSnes That is nice, but if you’re trying to grind up levels it can make for an annoying experience. Some people can argue that it makes the game harder and challenging but I feel like it just makes it a chore.
The supposed linearity of Gen 5 never really bothered me. Maybe it's because I'm way more forgiving for that sort of thing for a good story, but frankly, it made the game a lot more simple and fun to play in a weird way.
@@gold3987 dude literally same gen 5 is a fresh experience because it's only current gen Pokemon before post game along with the fact that some of the Pokemon are suuuuuuper cool. People like to have on some of them like vanillice but overall done if the best Pokemon designs went into that game imo.
My problem with gens 6-8 are the lack of new Pokémon. Sure you can make arguments like that for the other gens but it feels like there are barely any new Pokémon being introduced in these specific games.
Those gens could've used more 'mons (especially gen 8 with the nat dex incident) but the 'mons they do have are actually pretty cool heck, unpopular opinion, but gen 8
Lmao the games not even out yet, hold your horses people. For all we know there may be greater flaws, or this whole National Dex fiasco was just an excuse to fill post launch content updates with all the Pokemon, since stupid update culture exists in gaming now.
Gen 7 was so close to be awesome... Imagine SM story, USUM gameplay and overall less cutscenes. Easily one of the best pokemon games together with Platinum and BW2!
@@Graceisanutjob The most challenging fight I think I've ever had, alongside the final boss of Legends Arceus (not arceus) legit necrozma took me months
I really liked that gen 4 was slow. Having to use many vms on each route and stepping through the deep snow on the way to snowpoint town felt like a real journey for once and was not like a stroll through your backgarden like the routes in gens nowadays are.
That's one thing I loved about gens 3, 4 and 5 Gen 3 has you swimming through deep ocean around a volcanic island Gen 4 gives the sense of a real journey, it is long, slow and feels hard Gen 5 has you wandering about deserts and ruins, and depending on the season you can even struggle through snow All of them feature a kid or a teenager alone on a dangerous journey, fighting to proceed, free to explore Now we have some smol bois having a walk on their garden with their babysitters, literally
Long Schnozzed Tribesman He didn’t say it’s ok he said that he’s not being a hypocrite because this video made lots of money so it wouldn’t be a waste of time.
Not gonna lie the two features that will massively improve any future Pokémon game that game freak needs to add are a difficulty setting so you can make the game harder or easier, and I’m not talking about just having things be higher lv, I mean that the A.I. Gets smarter and more strategic battle types like double battles become more common and you have to actually put a good team together to beat the game. And the second feature is to be able to skip all tutorials. Would save so much time and pain.
True. Would like to see a Pokemon game that requires different team setup for different oponents like most mobile Gacha games out there. These Pokemon games can be beaten all the way with the same Pokemon's you use to defeat the first gym.
James Dudeck True! It would be cool if easy difficulty was like gen 6 and very hard difficulty was like "You need an iv'ed/ev'ed balanced team of 6 to even get a chance"
My biggest issues with each generation Gen 1: Uncountable amount of glitches and bugs Gen 2: The levels of wild pkmn are too low Gen 3: A lot of backtracking and travelling + there really is a lot of water Gen 4: It’s really slow + the Pokédex isn’t diverse enough Gen 5: Too many barricades that stop you from exploring Gen 6: Extremely linear region and started the trend of cutscenes & tutorials Gen 7: Really easy, excessive cutscenes Gen 8: Super easy, way too many cutscenes & underwhelming
@@isaaclanier1507 Are cutscenes good when you first play the game? Yes but if you decide to replay it, it's annoying and boring as hell and people who play the game for the gameplay rather than the story are also gonna be annoyed
You nailed my biggest complaint with gen 4. The snow and mud just drags this game to a crawl along with the slow engine and pacing. Also with gen 5 I have a bigger problem with the late evolutions. Who wants to use a Mienfoo or a Pawniard until level 52?! I wouldn't mind as much if the main story had levels up until at least 70 but it doesn't. Gen 6 just felt incomplete. It's just felt like there was supposed to be more to the story and Kalos in general but Gamefreak had to cut it short for some reason. Xerneas and Yveltal felt shoehorned into the story at the last second and Zygarde got completely shafted. Also what ever happened to AZ's Floette? It has it's own signature move so it must've been planned to be distributed at one point.
The hand holding is annoying as hell. Its like Game Freak thinks everyone playing a Pokemon game is 10 years old and playing one for the first time ever. That and the Hawaii 2.0 gimmick got old really quickly...
Pokemon literally peaked at Gen 5. Then it took a nosedive in Gen 6, tried to get back up and clean itself off in Gen 7, and now its trying to pretend that it never fell in the first place (despite the glaring cuts and bruises) in Gen 8.
Gen 6 had an amazing story, fresh graphics, great map, and cool new pokemon. I think it was a fantastic generation, it was just waaaaay toooooo eaaaaaasy.
@@katsisvi8097 I'll give you the graphics and the map. The pokemon designs are something subjective, but the new amount of pokemon is pretty underwhelming. The story is weak, not as bad as gen 8, but the villain team reaches team aqua and magma levels of stupidity
nothing in gen 5 screams peak pokemon game. the game's linear most of the characters of boring, and the overworld sprites were not good like at all the battle sprites make up for that. But the "peak" pokemon shouldnt have these issues
Young SootSoot I whole heartedly disagree. Gen 5 felt like Pokémon, just as all the prior gens did. It was just organized differently. It was challenging, perhaps one of the hardest games, it had well designed, original pokemon, it had a fantastic storyline, the map was beautiful despite only being half unlocked, and it was a very enjoyable, well paced journey. Even if it wasn’t the peak, it was up there in the golden age of Pokémon.
@@katsisvi8097 well there were a couple of of had fights like lenora and elisa but not enough to really stand out like usum or emerald. I'd wouldnt say any pokemon games has all around bad designs. You can tell a lotta time goes into making one singular pokemon but each gen has its stinkers too. Such as beartic being bear with ice beard or stonejourner just being stonehedge. The storyline had only a couple of interesting characters like N or Cheren but a lotta things felt off. Like binaca's dad changing his entire outlook on letting his daughter go out on a pokemon adventure because elisa said so? i would be fine if he took a little bit of caution but he took a complete 180. I thought the question of is collecting and fighting pokemon ethical or not interesting. But it was not as grey as people made it out to be. The only good people who believed pokemon battles werent ethical were like couple plamsa grunts and N. I wouldnt say the map was beautiful but i definitely wouldn't call it ugly. I agree the pacing was different then most pokemon games but from my obviously limited knowledge on BW2 i can only tell you with half certainty that the pacing went back your normal mons game.
Exactly why is it so hard to add a easy and difficult mode. I mean it’s not like almost every other game in the world has it. I miss the old times where you had to grind hard to prepare for a gym battle. Back then I was scared entering an arena. Now it’s like I came into a new city and enter the arena before even considering going to the poke center.
So true. And in gen 7 they even told you which moves were effective on which Pokémon. Even if most players know the types effectiveness by now, let new players find out mid-battle that an earthquake doesn't do anything to the opponent's pidgeot
For pokemon...can we just have a DISABLE TUTORIALS option? Because after 7 generations...I think a good portion of us know how to use pokeballs and fight... Heck, add in a skip cutscene option as well for good measure...maybe I want a shiny starter but don't want to wait for 5 years to finish the 4 cutscenes to reset my game and try again...
Well here is a general list of all the stuff Gen 7 had you do: Intro stuff (moving in and whatnot, introduction to professor) Ok let me take you to this patch of grass Select item, select Pokeball, throw Pokeball, wait, catch. (how hard is that...?) Ok now let me take you to this trainer school where you can skip the next 30 lines of dialogue telling you about hm's, tm's and type advantage. Oh, btw we won't tell you which people are trainers so better click on them all and initiate the 5 lines of dialogue on each of them. Oh btw here is the new stuff you have to learn. Did you forget about the pokemon snap tutorial they had and forced you to do? It was unnecessary and should have just been a side thing you could skip... I have a tolerance for that stuff but even I was getting fed up at that point, and that was still halfway through the first island...I would kinda like to skip the old stuff I've known since I was 5 and get on to the new stuff just a tad quicker...Especially since it seems like every generation's introduction is getting longer and longer... Gen 7 has the longest intro area of every game right now, with the longest amount of time before you even get your first pokemon. Skipping the first tutorials of the first few games was not necessary because the games were not *too* deep, but with more stuff being added the tutorials get longer and longer and you start seeing the old tutorials first going through the same exact information they have gone through for nearly 20 years. The ultra versions helped fix it a bit, but it's a noticeable trend. I just want an "I am a veteran of pokemon" option and skipping right to the new tools and features It's not even that hard to implement, it's just a boolean check when they are about to do a tutorial and an "Oh you already know that stuff? Great! Let's move on" Maybe a slight quiz or something just to be sure if they are really worried about it That being said I enjoyed it still, I was just annoyed that it took me an hour to get through all the basic information before I could really play the game. It's like they put the manual down and forced you to read it all before playing the game. And god forbid I have the other game in addition and have to redo all of that again...
When he talked about steamrolling the game with amphaross, gyarados and your starter hit me in my soul😂 I did that when I was a kid completely without thinking about it
I kinda like how alone you feel in R/G/LG/FR. I mean the whole world is literally against you, even your only “friend” - your rival - tries his best to put you down at every turn. You literally play as an 11 year old poke-nerd that uses his crazy-ass-determination, his smarts, and his love for Pokemon to take down the pokemafia (rocket). You single handedly save your rural little region from the grips of the corporate elite and their lack of humanity. Then, because you’re so pokejacked and talented you go right on and fulfil your dream of defeating the elite 4. You even help an old lonely man that spent his life loving Pokemon instead of raising a family of his own; Oak, the mentor that kickstarted your journey and so desperately wanted to complete his Pokédex as a boy, you help him fulfil his life long dream. You complete the Pokédex. You tame the untameable. You defeat the undefeated. You exorcise Marowak’s demons. You clear roads of sleeping Pokemon because nobody else dares shift a Snorlax. You liberate mount moon. You defeat a TM Thief. You lay the groundwork for Bill’s Pokemon transfer system. The whole game is about you, alone, having the power to achieve your dreams and help others, against all odds. All you need is willpower, self-belief, determination; and a little help from your friends. Only then will you find success; becoming seasoned, and comfortable. Having achieved your goal to be the very best, you pass on your beloved Pokemon - to the pal park - for the next generation to enjoy. Or, frolick about sight seeing on Alolan beaches.
Oh look someone actually pointing out a genuine flaw with Gen V instead of just bashing on the Vanilite and Trubbish lines. Neat. Gen V was my first, and so is my favorite, but even I admit that game has some issues. Thanks for seeing something differently. It was refreshing.
So are we all going to ignore the fact that in gen 7 Rotom gives you information you already know or you've told by him or others a million times, and he doesn't stop, you never ask him no he just does it when he decides he wants to which is like every couple of minutes.
And Rotom even acknowledges it. It says something along the lines of "Now it's time for me to give you information you never asked for! Did you know you can use Pokeballs to catch Pokemon?!" Wow no way. Thanks Rotom! Now can I please access my map???
This is called a Pokémon Center! You can heal up your Pokémon here! Isn't it so handy that you can heal Pokémon here? You wanna know exactly how good it is? Ok, let me explain. Millions of years ago, the Earth was a molten mass...
I know Gen 4 is considered super slow, but besides the fact that I love what it introduced and the designs of the Pokémon, my biggest reason for making it my favourite generation is because It's based on Hokkaido, Japan. It's the Japanese equivalent to Canada. It's foreign (relative to me, in Canada) but familiar (since it's so similar IRL to where I live, in Canada). Whenever I play through the game again, I always have images of Hokkaido in my mind, and all the great things that part of the country has. Applying those thoughts to the Pokémon equivalent makes the region feel so much better.
I kept running into the level limit in my first run, and so when I’d try to do the next trial some of my Pokémon wouldn’t always listen and it was o o f
Gen 3 is and always will be my favorite gen of all time because it's my first! I love all the starters, all the legendaries, the region, all of the new pokemon, the music, may, and i replayed the Hoenn games the most! i know it has some flaws, but that's what makes it my beautiful flawed baby gen! now i suddenly have the urge to play in Hoenn again, i guess it's time to replay emerald!
Whoa! Slow down there, buddy. You don't have to be rude. I don't necessarily hate Gen. 3. But I don't like it as much as some people do. Because I found it to be the only Pokemon game that is lacklustering and boring.
Just typing the generations I played: Gen 1: Utterly broken moves - my Slash Sandslash was beast. Gen 2: Lack of diversity of pokemon - basically it was catching the same squad over and over. Gen 3: Two the same bland bad guys - "I will land/water you!" and "Oh no, what have I done. Fix pls ;-;" I still like the Hoenn most. Gen 4: They made it so slow, that even running is like crossing snowdrifts. Gen 5: THE PATH IS CLOSED. But at least they "tried" to make it look legit (better than being blocked by few Psyducks with headache; potion won't help, find aspirin, pls)
If I recall correctly, in B2W2 there was a route blocked by a bunch of random dudes and when you speak to them they just say something like "we are here dancing for no reason and one day we'll disappear for no reason", but to be fair that was hilarious.
Quils I have no problem with it when it’s amusing. Also especially when you remember it’s set in the US. I can see those people doing something like that.
I actually quit playing the main games during Pokemon Sun. I believe I was close to the end, but I just wasn't having fun so i stopped playing it, never finished it or bought any of the games that followed :(
Gen V is by far my favorite, I have like 300 hours in White 2. I appreciate you didn’t go after the Pokémon design like a lot of people do. I agree about the linearity too
Jacen dude same, and like, sure they arent the best designs but look at magneton, Grimer literally just grows bigger. A lot of Pokémon aren’t designed the best, that doesn’t make the whole region bad, but imo in gen 5 I loved the story I just wished it was a little more focused on the other characters, maybe not like sun/moon but give them a couple moments in the sunshine.
It's a really good track, but it usually interrupts other great battle themes, having a variation of every battle theme with the critical health music would make it much better. Imagine fighting Ghetsis, your Pokémon is at low health, and the chorus becomes even more dramatic, while the drums becomes a bit faster. That would be sick.
I agree with what you said with gen 7. I think they focused too much on the tropical, tourist land that they ended up trashing the free roaming for a lot of things. However I will say that I did enjoy the hidden areas that there were such as most of vast poni canyon.
@@nameman9997 when I read bug I thought of the type and got really confused. I read it as something like: "Also, due to it being a bug in gen 1, psychic was actually immune to ghost"
Gen I - Glitches everywhere Gen II - that damn INTERNAL BATTERY Gen III - pokémon spread out across the games, some are REALLY hard to get like event pokémon Gen IV - Slow Pacing, barebones regional pokédex (D/P) Gen V - Linearity Gen VI - Lack of postgame content Gen VII - same as Gen VI Gen VIII - They really cut corners on this one
To me, worse than Kalos' incredibly low difficulty, I think it's worst feature is its abysmally hollow emptiness. At a glance, it seems like a big region, but you can explore all of it and beat the game quicker than any other entry in the series. Not to mention, there are straight up segments of the game that hinted at areas that might be playable in a potential sequel that we never got, and it feels even more that the region was released before even being properly finished. And it suffers for it by feeling really shallow, in my opinion.
thewhatness Let's not forget the seriously underwhelming battle music that were mostly blocked by the excessively loud in-game sound effects! Overall, a very boring experience with very forgettable gym leaders and Elite Four members.
That game deserved a sequel as much as gen 4. I mean any game that includes a legendary that goes with the main two but is seldom mentioned deserves its own game if not a good spot in the post game
Yea, Kalos just felt very unfinished and the plot was just not interesting. Which is sad because you could make a thrilling story in regards to the pokemon that are basically the incarnates of life and death. I wish they did more with that generation. It deserved to be better than what it was.
There was a lot of soul to the game, but it lacked a lot of meat/content/stuffing. Keep the soul and include more in the guts (characters, things to do, enemy team, post game). I think Sun and Moon did that part well, (only too many text boxes)
I grew up with generation 1,2 and 3. I'll never forget the eerie soundtrack when battling Dragon Trainer Lance the champion and the first random legendary beast encounter in the grass.
My favourite Pokémon games are from Gen 4. • one of the best starters trio ever (like, all three are so good for a play-through and have a cool design for each evolution) • over all, Gen 4 Pokèmon are so cool • yes, the game is utterly slow, but that never really bothered me 😅 • I love the story, especially in Platinum • the music 💕 • for me Sinnoh is one of the coolest regions in Pokèmon • Cynthia is just the best champ who ever existed 💁🏼♀️ • so many good memories, because it was my first Pokèmon game
Grace Berlin I never saw the game being slow as a problem, it’s still better then getting forced into a cutscene everytime you progress in the game. And team galactic is still one of my favorite antagonist teams not to forget that the legendary designs are awesome
I think the pacing is okay, but every other thing feels super slow. The fights, the attacks, etc. Have you guys seen how slow surf is in Diamond and Pearl? Edit: I messed up and wrote Platinum instead of Diamond and Pearl.
Gen 7 was okay, but I missed the gym battle and I was disappointed that there were no national Pokédex and we couldn’t Mega evolve until we beat the game and had to buy the mega stones from the battle tree.
