/vr/ - Retro Games

I prefer marpigs to scotpigs.

i liked it better than blue/red because you can get all 3 of the starter pokemon

Really good. I like the reworked sprites and it's nice to actually have color when playing it on a GBC. It's also more challenging because Pikachu is really bad stat wise compared to the starter evolutions you get in R/B. I love this game to death. I completed the pokedex on it with no glitches or cheats.

>>6666989
What does he mean by this

>>6666994
he means that in yellow version you can get all 3 starters from NPCs, while in Blue/Red you only get one at the start of the game.

Its a bit slower than red and blue.
I also prefer red and blue sprites.

>>6666980
Upgrade in almost every way to red/blue, it's basically the same game but you can get all starters, there are extra bosses, bug fixes/balance adjustments, and a surfing minigame, but I think I prefer the more off beat sprites of red/blue to the anime accurate ones.

The colors changing between towns is 90% of what makes this game comfy to me, and why I'll always prefer it

>>6666994

That you can get all the starter Pokemon in Yellow, which you could not in the other ones.

aw mr. grumpy.. how hard is it for you to hide a thread you don't like?

>>6666980
honestly if someone was starting pokemon from scratch, yellow might be the best starting point.
it follows the anime better and having all 3 starters gives you better choices for a final team without trading.

although you should probably plays a 151 hack or something.

>>6667021
>>6667036

The fact that without you there are already 8 different posters in this thread proves pretty otherwise.

>>6666980
The surfing minigame is fun.

>>6667012
A PKMN Yellow with R/B front sprites + Space World proto back sprites would be uber kino.

>>6666980
No best girl Jynx

>>6666980
I played it for about 80 hours & had a level 100 Mewtwo that thrashed everything & made the game boring so I stopped. Still have the cart, but the battery’s probably dead now anyway.

>>6667249
Games do tend to get boring once you finish them.

>>6666980
I grew up playing red, yellow, and blue. Yellow has always been my favorite because you get all 3 starters and pikachu right off the bat.
I like all 3 of the original games, but yellow is my favorite.
I also enjoyed Crystal and ruby.

>>6666980
Not sure how they managed to make the sprite work both better and worse at the same time, but it’s a good game. It’s especially pleasing how you can run with a team that has all the starters.

>>6667164
I would agree. I love the spaceworld backsprites

I really wish they'd made it possible to get all 151 in this version.

>>6667959
But then they could't prey on autistic collectors and lonelyfags with deep wallets and poor decision making skills.

>not shamelessly abusing the trainer fly glitch to get any pokemon you want

lol

>>6668057
Doesn't that only get you pokemon from the last area you visited? Or one completely random pokemon based on your OT number?

I remember abusing the trick to get Safari Zone pokemon without playing that gay ass "BAIT ROCK BALL RUN" minigame, and my random pokemon was wartortle.

>>6668094
You have quite a lot of control over which pokemon you get. The trainer fly glitch will let you encounter pokemon based off the special stat of the last enemy you faced. The pokemon's special stat gets stored and when you trigger the trainer fly glitch battle it gets read as the index number for the wild pokemon you're going to encounter. You can also use your own pokemon's special stat for it too by encountering a wild ditto and making it transform since the transformed stats will count.

Only problem with it is that some of the really high index numbers can be pretty annoying to get since there aren't trainers that have pokemon with high enough special stat on their own. Thankfully that's less of a problem in yellow since most of the highest number pokemon (all 3 starters and oddish/bellsprout) can just be gotten normally, the only high index number pokemon you might have to go out of your way on your own to get are Machamp and Alakazam.

I think there's even guides out there listing what each individual trainer in the game will give you if you do the fly glitch on them.

>>6668202
>glitching in pokemon
oh look, another stupid zoombady-doodah who doesnt play games right

>>6667008
this is retro dumbass

>>6668210
eat shit and die tryhard, everyone fucking glitched their pokemon back in the day, mostly because finding out it worked was the wildest shit, which is what gave rise to so many rumors about what you can even find in games of that era.

>>6668053
how?

>>6668242
>everyone glitched their pokemon back in the day
okay retard, but there's a big swath of difference between a 7 year old duping rare candies and a 40 year old doing it while he revisits his childhood.

>>6668248
Who the fuck was saying anything about present day??

>>6668260
you're telling someone how to perform the glitches and you're talking shop about it in a way that suggests you've done it within the last 5 years at least.

>>6668263
That wasn't me retard shit for brains.

>>6668265
Sure anon, whatever you say :^)

>>6668265
>implying

>>6666980
It's a GBC game disguised as a GB game, and it slightly annoys me when it is classified as such

>>6668245
He doesn't hes just being a faggot

>>6666980
It always felt like the gay version of Red and Blue.

You weren't able to catch Mareep until late game, thus leaving you with no viable electric type for the majority of the playthrough.

>>6666980 op
I had a light blue gameboy color i'd play it on and i'd bring it to class for some time in 9th and 10th grade (2016-17)

>>6668440
OKAY ZOOMER, NOW LISTEN TO ME LOUD AND CLEAR. THIS BOARD IS NOT FOR YOU. CAN YOU REPEAT AFTER ME LITTLE ZOOMBIE? NOT FOR YOU. NOT. FOR. YOU. STOP POSTING HERE OKAY?

The game itself is a good upgrade to Red/Blue
In my experience the cartridges fail a lot for some reason, but it's probably just personal bias
Unfortunately have a broken cart of it right now, just haven't gotten around to fixing it

>>6668338
It says Game Boy and not Game Boy coloor literally on the cover

>>6668338
It says Game Boy and not Game Boy Color literally on the cover

>>6668480
hence the word "disguised"

>>6667019
Oh shit. I completely forgot about this, and I've been kicking myself for a while now that I traded my copy of Red away for Hybrid Heaven. Nice, I kept the best copy anyway.

>>6666980
Surfing Pikachu is cute.

>>6666993
>I like the reworked sprites and it's nice to actually have color when playing it on a GBC.

Also this.

>>6668210
They brought it up in relation to getting all 151 in the game without trading. Abusing the Mew glitch is the only way to do it.

>>6669656
guess again my zoomer-aged friend

>>6669658
Feel free to tell me how you can do that without using the Mew glitch.

>>6669663
you have to beat lt surge again and get the keys to the truck, when you get into the cab of the truck, you see mew asleep at the wheel

>>6669667
Epic.

>>6669671
you also need 22 rare candies in item slot 13 for the Lt Surge event to trigger right

>>6669676
Epic.

>>6669683
hey thanks, you wanna go get some coffee or something? you seem like a cool guy

Quit typing that or I am gonna b& you for like 5 hours

>>6669697
Oh alright

Fat Pikachu's swan song, they had already killed him in the anime by 1998. Pic related.

On a more game related level getting all 3 starters inevitably led to boring team composition. I wouldn't even play with people that had Yellow since the 3 starters were inevitable. The only thing worse than a Yellow player was a gamesharkfag.

>>6669710
you sound like a bit of a dick anon

>>6666980
So did Pikachus mood really matter, or?

>>6669917
If he's unhappy with you he may not obey.

>>6669917
This is incorrect.
>>6669917
All that's affected are two things:
>you need the friendship to be a certain level to get Bulbasaur
>Pikachu's walking animation speed goes up after a certain level
That's it.

its really fucking cool that you can get all three starters, its a nice change of pace(only time it ever happened in the series). The spritework looks great, otherwise its your standard red/blue with a pikachu following you. Patching all the fun glitches sucks though, thats why I'll always prefer the other two

The greatest thing about Yellow are some of the movesets that got improved.

For instance the Evee evos that got their moves changed thanks to Blue using them.

As a result, using the Evee evos as starters for yourself is actually fun and makes sense all you need to do is breed egs in GSC and transfer them into Yellow at the start of your game

I did that last time I replayed the game and it was kick ass

>>6670060
I guess, but that’s basically just an overpowered sweeper team which is all you should have been doing in that gen.

>>6666989
>>6667004
You can literally complete the whole pokedex in red and blue without pokemon exchanges if you learn the mew and ditto glitches.

>>6670339
kinda ruins all the fun though, doing a glitch over and over to get the extra pokemon.

>>6666980
>>/vp/

>>6666980
This game taught me about pokemon types when Brock absolutely spanked my pikachus ass.

>>6670339
Maybe he wants to obtain them without glitches.

>>6670573
Ain't no sprinkler system to save you now, boy!

>>6670339
You can literally complete the whole pokedex in red and blue without pokemon exchanges if you learn the cloning glitches

>>6667012
it has jesse and james

>>6671239
When I was a kid I dreamed of being James and Jesse spanking me. Was so disappointed when they weren't in red/blue.

>>6671259

>>6670638
>>6670664
If you're just playing by yourself and going for Pokedex completion for the fun of it, how is doing three entire runs to trade to yourself totally fine morally but cutting out the middleman and just doing it yourself using the Mew glitch is something immoral
Either way you're getting the Pokedex done in an unintended way because they expect you to trade with other people to do it
Who even gives a shit don't be a dumbass moralfag

>>6671274
It's not about morals. It's about fun. Cheating your way to victory isn't fun.

>>6671280
>I get to tell people what they find fun
Micromanaging nigger

>>6671274
Huh, nope. Trading is going by the game's intended mechanics, not by glitches or cheats

>Either way you're getting the Pokedex done in an unintended way because they expect you to trade with other people to do it

You realize one of the reasons why there are several versions is exactly so that the big fans and the richs would buy them all, right ?

P.S: you don't need to do "3 entire runs" in BR, you only need 2 runs, and you don't even have to finish the 2nd one.

>>6671287
If you find cheating at games fun, then go ahead. I prefer playing what the developer intended.

>>6671293
>still doing it
Why don’t you go to the gym and tell people they’re lifting wrong or something instead

>>6671307
I don't get why you're baiting on /vr/? We're all here to have fun anon.

>>6671310
Yeah, you’re telling people how to live their lives, and I’m the one baiting. Good thinking anon, you oughta get an award.

>>6666980
I'd rather play Red or Blue over it. Yellow's sprites are on-model and looks just like every other pokemon game, but in fewer colors.
The only reason I go back to gen 1 is to wallow in its jankness.

>>6671382
>on-model
It never ceases to amuse me when people on 4chan use jargon like this incorrectly. Red and Blue were "on-model" too because the anime hadn't came out yet.

>>6671387
Was that really worth complaining about? They're on-model to the finalized designs.

>>6671394
>to the finalized designs
Nice try but nope, they were on-model for the designs that were present at release. Just because they revised the designs later doesn't render those 'off model.' The takeaway here is that you shouldn't use jargon if you can't handle using it in the right context.

>>6671403
For fucks sake I don't care.
The point is Red and Blue have unique designs.

>>6671394
There's a poster atm being needlessly antagonistic for some reason. Just ignore.

>>6671406
Thank you anon, I hope you can learn from this exchange.
>>6671407
It's not being antagonistic, it's educating anon about the shortcomings of his posting habits.

Shameful money grab

>>6671387
>Red and Blue were "on-model" too because the anime hadn't came out yet.
To be pedantic, "Red and Blue" came after the anime. "Red and Green" came before and so did "Blue" (which gave the international versions their sprites)
>Nice try but nope, they were on-model for the designs that were present at release. Just because they revised the designs later doesn't render those 'off model.'
This is stupid. Sugimori art already existed for Red and Green when the games were first released and these show the designs later considered 'correct'.
https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Art_from_Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Green
The takeaway here is that you shouldn't talk shit unless you actually know what you're talking about. Faggot.

>>6671482
"On-Model" vs "Off-Model" refers to when an animated show are worked on by secondary artists, and how close to the actual design proofs the end result ends up looking. This often refers to errors that arise only sporadically in the finished product, but are jarring enough to be noticed. Using this to refer to something like sprites is quite a reach to begin with. And again, revising a design doesn't render the old design 'off-model' because being 'on-model' refers to that internal consistency i mentioned above.

>>6671535
>And again, revising a design doesn't render the old design 'off-model' because being 'on-model' refers to that internal consistency i mentioned above.
>Just because they revised the designs later doesn't render those 'off model.'
The Sugimori art came out day and date with Red and Green. Even if you want to say the art was made after Red and Green's sprites were already done, Blue came out well after the Sugimori art was finished and still isn't accurate to it.

>>6671559
The sprites are always the same, they aren't shown from varying angles or vantages, they're always flat. This means they have internal consistency. "Off-Model" would imply that sometimes the sprites look uncanny or inconsistent relative to your expectation of how those sprites normally look. Since they're stagnant, this is never an issue, and as a result, there's no "model" for them to deviate from. I hope you understand why you're reaching tremendously here. Why can't you just accept the criticism like a man and move on, instead of twisting your logic into a pretzal?

>>6671568
>"Off-Model" would imply that sometimes the sprites look uncanny or inconsistent relative to your expectation of how those sprites normally look. Since they're stagnant, this is never an issue, and as a result, there's no "model" for them to deviate from.
Why are you debunking arguments nobody's even trying to make? Is this autism?

>>6671580
>nobody is even trying to make
Excuse me, the conversation is about why the term was retarded to use to begin with. What are you not getting here?

>>6666980
>>6666980
I prefer Red, i dont like yellow sprites and "new" stuff. I think of it more like a different version not a definitive version like Crystal is.

>>6671582
I'm pretty sure nobody actually wanted to debate the exact meaning of the term "on model" besides you due to your severe autism. You know exactly well what everyone else who's engaged with you on this topic is trying to say and you're ignoring it in favor of more pedantic sperging out over muh definition of word. Who gives a shit about that?
Go ahead and feel free to think you've "won" at this point and please move on so the reasonable, non-retarded people can talk amongst themselves again.

>>6671596
So what made you chime in then you fucking moron lmao

>>6671602
I didn't quite realize yet that you were just an actual retard ranting about completely irrelevant shit and it wasn't worth trying to talk to you.

>>6671605
Right, that was after you were proven wrong and lost the argument now, wasn't it? I bet you wish you had that kind of clarity before you typed up this doozy of a post: >>6671482

>>6671608
It took me hours to make that post, all that time wasted
>that was after you were proven wrong and lost the argument now, wasn't it?
Like I said now that you've "won" you can go away now.

>>6671614
I can't go away, I haven't even held my victory banquet in the thread yet.

>>6666980
>>>/vp/
Go back

>>6666980
Finally playing it many years later on the 3DS VC release was pretty cool. I liked being able to have all three starters and even kept using Pikachu. But ultimately I had to go back to Blue because that was what I grew up on.

>>6671280
>>6671289
>>6671293
It's not really cheating though, it's done using the only the game itself with its features legitimately without using external devices or codes. While doing exchanges was intended at least as one option, the game was always intended for people to play however they liked. Also, how do you think the programmer/s who inserted mew into the game secretly at the last minute expected you to get it?

>>6672006
They didn't.
