There are Gen IV haters? The fuck.
Gen 3 was lame, way too much water on the map.
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.What did Lyre do? Other than being the worst mod in GAF history, of course.
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.
Wait, as in he'd post creepy art as the final post of the thread after locking it?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.

Barry is annoying. They should replace him with Andrex.

Bianca and Cheren as the friendly rivals with actual stories and motivations was absolutely excellent. Especially when they then had N as an antagonistic sort-of rival as well. I hope for more of that sort of character development in gen VI.
at least barry joins the pokegaf irc.
I LOVED them as rivals. Having backstories for them beats "omg I'm just gonna be rude to you."
Right now nobody joins the PokéGAF irc.at least barry joins the pokegaf irc.
Giovanni's son man.
Crystal came out on gbc after the gba was released.If you think nintendo wants this on ds at what would be 1.5 years after its death and a good 2 years after at its NA release when it could be selling 3ds systems then ...
Though gamefreak is weird as heck at times.
Silver is the WORST
Better not be a spin off, and it better be for the 3DS.

I predict it will be a dsi game
Gen IV on the other hand, *shudders*. It's responsible for abominations like these:
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

Wally exists.
Who?
What the heck? All publicity is good publicity it seems...Pokemon Yellow is currently the second best selling app on iOS.

Anyone here ever play Type Wild?A regular Pokemon game, but with a fighting game battle style. Like Super Smash Bros or something, but with HP.
Gen 2 is the worst generation.
Yes. I mean it.

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.I didn't like FR/LG because the visuals were...well, I don't know. When I think of a remake, I expect to be wowed by the visual difference/improvement and although Pokemon isn't known for its graphics, it didn't really do anything for me at all. Plus, Kanto isn't the most exciting region as much as I love Pokemon Yellow.
Kanto is pretty boring in terms of visual information, at least compared to Hoenn and Unova, but the graphical upgrade was pretty cool, seeing how much color and fine detail was now present in the different routes. That said, Pokemon isn't really known for its technical excellence, as GF has always made games on the cheap and they continue to do so (wisely, as they can channel more funding into marketing!).
However what really killed me was the music. It's weird because I like the music in R/S (it's probably what I like about RS the most), but the music in F/LG sounds absolutely horrible. ESPECIALLY the Champion theme. That's my favourite music track in any Pokemon game and the FR/LG version is absolute garbage...
Me. You. Outside, right now. That is the ABSOLUTE BEST VERSION! lol, I can respect your opinion. But the samples just take the theme's melodrama and crazy percussiveness to an extreme, a true representative of the GBA era of Pokemon music.
If these really are remakes, then I just hope they improve upon R/S. I think HG/SS made me appreciate G/S more, so it'd be nice if remakes of R/S could do the same. Otherwise, bring on Grey.
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?A regular Pokemon game, but with a fighting game battle style.

Just a thought.Patented.
Magmortar owns. My go-to Fire type in Plat.
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.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

I'd be happy if they would just reissue HeartGold or SoulSilver which are rather difficult to find, especially for a reasonable price.
But still: Hype!
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.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.
