Gen IV is definitely my least favourite. Sure at the time I was like "ZOMG Pokemon on DS!" but looking back...
Hated the story, the music was generally awful except for a few tracks, wasn't keen on Sinnoh, the Pokemon were meh, I wanted to kill Barry, Rowan looked like an evil scientist, the other gender character was annoying no matter who you picked, there were way too many legendary Pokemon and the battles were extremely slow (going from BW to DP was killer).
So yeah, save for a few nice music tracks and some of the Pokemon designs, I didn't enjoy it that much in retrospect.
HeartGold and SoulSilver were A LOT better. Didn't get to try Platinum.

Team Magma was trying to fix that but we beat them up!

He us to lock really long pokemon threads with accompanying creepy art pics when they inevitably devolved from whatever pokemon news they started off as to the usual pokemon thread topics.
Get Platinum. Alot faster, And a lot more Pokemon added into the Sinnoh dex. I loved the music, But i do agree with you about to many legendaries.
Wait, as in he'd post creepy art as the final post of the thread after locking it?
One step too far buddy.
at least barry joins the pokegaf irc.

yes yes thats exactly what i mean...-shivers-
I LOVED them as rivals. Having backstories for them beats "omg I'm just gonna be rude to you."

Better not be a spin off, and it better be for the 3DS.
He does? Wow gen IV really is the worst
Giovanni's son man.

I still haven't finished White.
If this new game isn't a complete jump in another direction, color me disinterested.

Wally exists.
Despite my love for Pokemon, I have dismissed every single spin-off other than Pokemon Puzzle (which I didn't pick out for myself).
I am really loving the idea of doing a prequel to Red and Blue, where you play as Oak. And you are limited to the first two generations of Pokemon.
...Crystal came out a month after the GBA did in the US, this is true. Not even close in Japan.
Same with Emerald really.
The difference is a few months and not a year plus. Hell if it keeps its schedule the western release of the next mainline Pokémon game will be two years after the release of the 3DS.

Gen IV on the other hand, *shudders*. It's responsible for abominations like these:
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Magmortar, sir.

Gen III was the best. I felt like there was a consistency to the designs of all the new pokemon introduced in that era. Secret bases <3

Magmortar is an absolute beast, yes I know that i'm very much in the minority.
Edit: Yes, i've got slime based backup!
Who?
Exactly.

Jaysus, I know people don't read the OP, but really?
Fan; Tell us about the 3rd version of Black and White?
Masuda; Watch Pokemon Smash!
Later, tweets; Watch Pokemon Smash this week!
The only questions are whether it's this Sunday or next Sunday and whether it's for DS or 3DS.
Fake Edit: There's a possibility he's confused about the air date as Smash episodes are filmed several weeks in advance.

What the heck? All publicity is good publicity it seems...

I'm sorry but while this was the case in america this was not the case in japan, so its far from usable in this scenario. In fact that scenario is more similar to how B/W almost released after 3ds in america.

You are not alone.
Nah I agree that gen 2 is overrated but gen 5 didn't bring much to the table, had a lot of repeat Pokemon, didn't have as many great Pokemon as any of the other gens (in my opinion, anyway) and was just too by-the-numbers (how many times can we do that same ice gym puzzle?). I still like it a lot but maybe I need to play it again and see if I appreciate it more now.

My hope is that the new remakes for R/S/E can do that for everyone who passed on the game because they were just suffering from teenage mood swings and angst, or who were just burnt out on the games after the initial craze.
While I don't think an SSB-style battle system could ever replace the current battle mechanics (and Digimon Rumble Arena (sic?) doesn't count, either!), I've been thinking about what could happen if the battlefield on which trainers and their Pokemon fight could have a far-greater influence on the battle system. All we have to that extent right now are the different types of weather that can influence type inequalities for weaknesses and suchbut what if the actual Pokemon could run around an enclosed field and battle each other, using zoning and tactical maneuvers in a game that's predominantly math-y and strategic?
Just a thought.
Patented.

Magmortar owns. My go-to Fire type in Plat.
I hear this thought a lot but would it actually make sense for a mainline Pokemon game? The turn-based battle system is so key to the games. It'd be like making Super Mario RPG the standard for Mario games or something.
100% agree. I loved Ruby/Sapphire but Emerald really blew it out of the water. Gen IV almost made me quit the damn series though. Garbage.

Absolutely not. If I ever wanted to make it (which I do, but it would be a real toughie), fan-made would be the way to go. GF's put themselves in the perfect position to make nothing but cosmetic changes and little tweaks here and there for the Pokemon franchise. Something a bit different? That'll go to someone else, or some fans.
In reality, though, I'm a bit jaded after having worked on a derelict Legends 3 fangame for quite some time, so this idea has been rather attractive as of late.
