Cyber Sleuth is better than any mainline pokemon game, which started stagnating after GS.
You know how these threads go, man. People always treat it as such.

To be fair, GSC brought breeding and genders, day to night cycles, the PokéGear, Steel and Dark types, and the two regions were pretty big at the time. HGSS refined Kanto and made it feel less barebones.
GSC/HGSS brought quite a bit to the franchise.

Unlimited TMs that came out in Black and White has been the best damn thing to happen
It's not even a change in volume, really, considering Kanto was heavily truncated and Johto is rather small. Like, Sinnoh in Gen IV is really quite similar in size, if not bigger once you consider all the caves and so on.
GSC are fondly remembered because they carry a lot of the simplicity and nostalgia associated with Gen 1, without much of Gen 1's ugly reality, whilst adding new mechanical depth with hold items, breeding, day/night cycles and so on that really do flesh out the whole experience. Plus, frankly, the very end is the peak of the series.
But it's hard to argue the leaps made there are in service of anything beyond what Pokemon was already doing.
Every single gen has brought something new to the franchise. It was gen IV the one brought the largest and most important change to the series.
I don't get why.You know how these threads go, man. People always treat it as such.
Oh I'm not denying they brought a ton; breeding especially was huge.To be fair, GSC brought breeding and genders, day to night cycles, the PokéGear, Steel and Dark types, and the two regions were pretty big at the time. HGSS refined Kanto and made it feel less barebones.

But we had no record of what they were already doing. RBGY were all we had to go off of; there were no improvements before GSC.
I don't get why.
Like Emerald expanded the Battle Tower into a post-game that actually changed up gameplay significantly, removing player crutches and forcing them to play optimally in a variety of challenges... And yet somehow that's "stale rehash" while just tacking on a barebones version of the normal single player campaign is some groundbreaking innovation.

It's just there's this bizarre idea GSC was this huge shakeup and nothing else in the series changed thing up again.

They were already doing... everything that was in RBGY. What I meant by that was that most of the additions in Gen II were just to flesh out the existing systems with massively revamping any of them, or introducing any new systems. Special split and hold items give battles more depth, Shinies and new evolution methods make collecting more interesting, breeding makes the raising aspect even more emotionally solid... Meanwhile the rest of the game - the multiplayer, the plot, the exploration element - was much as it was in RBY.
Viewed from this angle, and compared to changes later Gens would bring, Gen II does a lot MORE, but the scope is more or less the same.
Can someone to explain what makes Pokemon's games so different?
to me looks all the same, just with a few minor changes and of course new pokemons
I want to say Pokemon wins anime, but afterrewatching Best Wishes, no amount of good can offset the Pokemon anime.my attempt in
As long as the main game remains about collecting 8 badges, then nothing will change in their eyes.
Cyber Sleuth is better than any mainline pokemon game, which started stagnating after GS.
Digimon World is better than every Pokemon game.

Since Game Freak is technically their own thing, I think Bamco should really get them to make a Digimon game.
I'm confused. I want to vote for Digemon, but it isn't on the poll.
The only Digimon game I remember playing and enjoying is Battle Spirit. And 1.5 didn't get a GBA port so even that kind of disappoints.
Watch Digimon Tamers right now. Literally this second. Stop reading this post and watch Tamers.

Not really, that is only the outline for a story. B/W's story was better received because it changed things up. The story didn't feel (to me anyway) like the same old go collect 8 badges and defeat the league story.
Part of it was probably the story presentation being better but the story just felt different from the average mainline Pokemon game.
All I need from a Pokemon game is an interesting story (and region, if the region itself is boring, :/), ORAS, BW/BW2, etc were good for that. X/Y while I had fun with it, it felt more of a drag to me. The story just wasn't that interesting to me.
There have been significant mechanical advancements over the years. Each generation brings both new and changed mechanics.
You can't just write off the whole thing after watching arguably the worst series of the bunch.
Digimon Tamers is easily the best Digimon-related anything ever.
Adventure 1 is pretty fun and imaginative.
Adventure 2 is bad and boring.
Frontier is fucking garbage.
