Right around OR/AS. I have AS, but I just couldn't bring myself to play it. I will at some poibt, but I just really find 3D Pokemon to look unappealing.

When I first heard about Pokemon as a kid I wasn't too interested, but as the launch of Red/Blue approached I got pretty hyped. I even wound up getting a JP copy of Gold before it was released in the US and have played at least one main series game per generation ever since.

They changed how moves are categorized in Gen IV and up as well. It used to be based strictly on the types but now moves like "punches" or "kicks" are counted as physical even if they have elements attached.

After Gen 1 honestly.

I tried to get back into it when Soul Silver got released, and I beat it and mildly enjoyed it.

Pokemon is just totally bland. It basically hasn't changed from what I've seen since I was in like 3rd or 4th grade and I'm 26 now.

I just don't get the hype. I liked it a lot as a kid, but I knew even back then it was just tedious and spreadsheet style battles with rock paper scissors mechanics.

I will always love Pokemon for the huge impact it had on me in the 90s but I don't have the patience or expendable hours to dump over a hundred of them every time into each new game that comes out. I'm getting old and there's a moral dilemma and a sense of exhaustion that comes with that type of wastefulness.

I stopped after Heart Gold/Soul Silver. I own X/Y and tried out Black/White and the R/S remakes and they're great, if I was 12 again without a care in the world I'd go for them, but that's not how it is.

Red/Blue will always be the big daddy of all the games, the best one to me, the one that started it all and that I have the best memories of. Diamond/Pearl is next.

Honestly, it was a little while after G/S came out. I bought Silver and enjoyed it, especially getting to go back to Kanto. But I was losing interest in it. It was a mixture of getting older and the new pokemon that made me ultimately quit. I was at the right place/right time for Red & Blue. I was in 3rd grade, subscribed to Nintendo Power, received the cheesy pokemon "promotional" videotape that had weird actors posing as Ash's family and friends while advertising the toys,anime,cards, and gameboy games. Shit was rad, and I was all in and eating it up. I just always personally felt that Pokemon lost it's significance to me when It went beyond the original 150/151 and also the feeling of aging out it.

In retrospect, yes. But no one was saying that when it actually mattered, when the games needed to sell.

Game Freak and/or Nintendo took one look at the criticism and sales figures and went "OK, we've learned our lesson. Buy X/Y! We'll give you a Kanto starter! And it can Mega Evolve! Charizrd gets TWO because you all love Charizard, right?!"

Honestly, the next Gen will probably be even worse because of Yo-Kai Watch having done so well in Japan. They'll want that audience and I think the games will suffer for it.

After Diamond and Perl.

Started with R/B, ofcourse I loved them, but did not care enough to get the second gen games.
Got Ruby and really loved that one. 999+ hours in one savefile. Only got Fire Red years after its release on a flea market.
Got myself Diamond and really enjoyed it. Also bought Ranger 1 and Mysterdy Dungeon. Enjoyed these too, but decided to put a stop here. Did not want to buy anymore Pokemon, even sold Ranger and PMD.

Around the release of B/W2 my friend wants to get back into Pokemon. So we get ourselves B/W. Hated the pokemons, but enjoyed the playthrough. HGSS was beautiful. Did not want to invest my money in B/W2, but end up getting it anyway. Really enjoyed that too, probably more than B/W, since it has good pokemons.
Had to get XY to play with my friend. Enjoyed the pokemon, but the playthrough itself was rather mediocre. Megas are shit. Got myself ORAS since I love Ruby. Didn't finish it and haven't touched it in a year. Do not want to get SuMo, but friend will force me to get it.

Currently I'm having a good time with the romhack Adventure: Chapter Red.

I would much prefer a Pokemon game where you're dropped in a city, and told "Pick a direction and start walking", and the rest of the world scales up with each trainer and gym leader you defeat.

Or hell, a Level Zero hack where Pokemon have fixed stats except for EV influence for true non-linearity.

Never enjoyed handheld games until the GBA, and by then I was 17. A bit too old to enjoy Pokemon when I'd never even played it before. Plus, I already had my favorite franchise from my childhood, Zelda.

I get the appeal, it is a grinding RPG where you can exploit the system to beat other people with your bag of overpowered monsters. Just don't want to waste my time to get into the games.

I honestly 100% agree with this. I guess it's because I'm a 90's kid but I never cared for any meta game. I found all my joy from normal gameplay and if I wanted to play the game again I'd start a new game.

Also, from what I've seen the Pokemon metagame is mostly made up of 15 Pokemon that most people use over and over and over again.

The last main game I played was Gold back in 2001, put a lot of hours into it and played a lot with other friends. Around the time Gen 3 came out I lost interest, I was overwhelmed by the amount of pkmn, never played any other game since. I'm sure they're not bad games though.

Pokemon Black and that was me trying to get back into it after a few years. I finished the game, quickly blasted through what little endgame content was left and was done. I'm not into the metagame and after so long I got tired of the same battle system. If I'm not into the RNG, metagame, and time consuming egg hatching I'm stuck with games bloated with so many legendaries that it means nothing anymore, the same combat where my decision is ultimately to just choose the strongest attack, and going through the same routes so I can meet the new bat, the new rodent, the new bird, the new bug after picking the same three types of starters.

The series is still good for others and that's fine. I like most of the new pokemon each gen comes up with.The metagame sounds like fun if you want to seriously dump that much time into it but my obsessions lie somewhere else. It's just, I don't know, boring to me. I don't think I've outgrown the series either, I'm just tired of the same stuff, the same decisions being made unless I do metagaming.

Never. Not to sound like a cunt desu but I'm older than most of you and when it broke, I was at an age where it seemed just a little bit too uncool to get interested in a children's game. And pokemon was more specifically marketed as a "children's game" than other games and toys and movies and things, I think it's reasonable to say.

Still, I liked games so since it was REALLY popular at one point I gave it an honest try. I collected like 20 animals over a few days or something, and just totally lost interest.

At Platinum, though the games I had before that was Red, then much later Sapphire, then Leaf Green. Sapphire was neat and of course I wanted a throw back to the original that was much faster and had a bit more content, but after that I was just sick of Pokemon because they just felt the same. I played my fill that I didn't need to play any other ones.

Actually I'd say it didn't try hard enough. I was expecting interesting scenarios and an altered map, but after you get Charmander the anime influences abruptly stop besides one Team Rocket grunt battle being replaced by a duo representing Jesse and James, and a surfing Pikachu game most players will never see.

ORAS killed a lot of momentum and I basically stopped before the third gym on Ruby. however I got a free copy of sapphire weeks ago when I got the game for my nieces and they had a B2G1, and I'm actually enjoying Sapphire well enough now. Wonder Trade helps breath life into it; like a randomizer.

That said I still think the first gen does a lot of things well that haven't been properly brought into the newer gens. I love how much of the game map opens up 4 gyms in if you know what you're doing. You can face some gym leaders in differing orders. So can incorporate Pokemon from Cinnabar or the Safari Zone before you go through the Silph Co. grindfest. Its why I prefer it to the Gen II games, which are great the first time around but really lack variety to do multiple play throughs, and are way too linear.

it's really a design issue. Pokémon changed too much after G2. nuking every creature past #251 would be great.

but it's hardly just a problem with the Pokémon themselves, though. ranging from the areas to the overall tone. not to mention since BW there's too much backstory.

I loved this gen and played through it 3 times I think but gen 3 for me. It was my last gen and at that point the formula was definitely getting stale to me. I was a teen at that time and I always even back then loved the first gen games the best. I also feel the look/graphics of the games started to suck after gen 3. Gen 1-3 all look good to me. They all have their appeal.

The only thing I definitely like from the later gens that I read about is the physical/special split and the easier to train IV's and EV's (not that I would even care much but it's a nice fix for sure). These changes aren't drastic enough to get me back into the series though. Also why can't they just do 3 types for certain pokemon? Why not retcon certain pokemon to better make things work? For example the mega for charizard is either fire flying or dragon flying. Why not one mega and it's a dragon/fire/flying type? Aerodactyl is the same way. And I thought Geodude is better suited as a plain old rock type. No more ground type for the geodude family line.

I know why they don't do this but it just still seems weird to me. I never found these games to ever be worthy of having true balance. I always played them for fun. Not for multiplayer balance.

3 types would make the type chart a mess (remember, pokemon is a kid's game) and give too big of a combat advantage with 3 STABs, Geodude is half ground because it burrows underground, and Charizard has X and Y megas for exclusivity between versions.

Nintendo should just do a hard reboot of the series with entirely new mons and a new art style. They should also remove HMs, theme gyms around something other than types, let Pokemon learn more than 4 moves, let the player carry more than 6 Pokemon at a time, etc.

I lost interest in the series because it hasn't changed in a significant way from a design standpoint since Gen 2. It's not so much that I grew out of it, it's that the game hasn't grown whatsoever.

These aren't inherently a bad thing. But I can see how needing to model every fucking form of every fucking pokemon could cause them to end up not being able to focus in other areas.

Hopefully now that all those models are made they can just keep on reusing them over and over until they need to make another leap. So hopefully they can focus more on everything else.

After HeartGold. Crystal was the first pokemon game I played and I loved it. I also really liked Ruby, Firered and Diamond/Platinum, just cause of the relatively new quirks and additions each game had. Honestly though, HeartGold took my breath away. It really brought the 2nd gen back to life for me and made me feel like I was a 5 year old again, getting reacquainted with the world of Pokemon. I just love how there was so much new material and things to do, on top of the things that you could do in both Johto and Kanto. I playedWhite,White2 and OR last year. White and White 2 were pretty good, but the lack of postgame content kinda pissed me off a little, but hey that's just me. Omega Ruby was shit. Nothing was added except for 3D graphics, Mega evolutions (which literally take away most of the fun away from the game ) and a chapter about Rayquaza or some shit (which you literally can't lose and get an even more unbalanced Pokemom. Yay) Honestly, I wished they stuck with Black and White's formula and try to do something different that increases the viability of the series. It's clear that Mega-Evolutions are a gimmick that doesn't add any depth to battle. It basically makes it so that all you need to do is hit one button to win. Compare this to the use of Berries, breeding, abilities and the Physical-Special split. This made combat more meaningful and made having a clear strategy more advantageous than mashing A (at least most of the time). That also made the game way more enjoyable.

Little things like that can make or break how enjoyable the game is. Also, the games have become especially tutorial-heavy and full of "cheats". When I went to Winona's Gym, I just sent out my Vibrava and spammed Rock Slide till all her Pokemon were dead. I did some mini-game that increased it's attack and speed to a point where I would attack first and harder. That's fucking retarded. When I first played Ruby, I had to use at least three or four Pokemon for this gym, just to make sure I had an advantage over her. Why are the games so damn easy, even by Pokemon terms? I really just don't care anymore. Pokemon used to be pretty good. Not amazing, but it was a good series of games just due to the ability for a hardcore player and a casual player to be able to play it and enjoy the experience. Now, it's dead for all I care. Also the waifus are shit. Cynthia, Clair,Flannery and Lorelei best girls. The ones from Gen 5 were alright too.

Literally every single time I get to Fuchsia

Every time I'm like UGH I didn't grind hard enough so you go back to the fuckin' Bike Road and the Fisherman Path and fight all the guys, and for some reason I'm still not good enough for Koga, and then I tap out

But I mean as far as the games go? Ruby was interesting but I just didn't give a hot shit. I tried to get into Pearl - it was cool and internet trading was dope, but I just didn't bother.

I told myself if I buy Pokemon Red for 3DS and actively finish it, I'll get a bank account and get X or Y - if not Sun/Moon

I tried to play Fire Red a few years ago and got stupid drunk trying to catch an Articuno. I woke up in the stupid cave, lost as all fuck, and Articuno wasn't there. Turns out I caught it and passed out - I nicknamed it "THA BESSSSSSS"

X and Y came out and I couldn't muster up any enthusiasm then ORAS came out and I got AS because some friends were getting them so I could play with them and I wanted to see the new content.

I recommend replacing the SRAM in your old pokemon games with FRAM (ferroelectric RAM), if you're handy with a soldering iron. This is a nonvolatile memory so if your battery does again your game keeps saving, the clock just stops in GSC. You don't even NEED a battery in R/B/Y after you do this.

Played Gen 1 and 2 obsessively when I was a kid.
A decade later, I gave it a second chance on DS with Gen 4. I finished it, but mindlessly through long subway trips exclusively. Zero investment.
Then when Gen 2 remake came out, I played Soul Silver right until Kaito's league (didn't bother with Red, the level curve spikes up way too much) and realized I loved it just because it felt like "what I remember playing Gold felt like" through my nostalgia goggles. And I realized that was the definitive Pokemon experience for me, and completely stopped caring about it. If I ever play Pokemon again, it'll most likely be another playthrough of Soul Silver ten years from now.

I agree with you about Gen 4's original games. But the Gen 2 remakes were amazing. honestly, I think they're the best pokemon games to date tbqh. They had all the content from the original games while at he same time adding so much more to make a new experience. Also Gen 4 had some sorta-gimmiiky pokemon, like Froslass and Gallade which only evolve if you give them to a female Snorunt and male Kirlia, respectively.

>All people here who complain about next generations that lost their soul or are lazy copies of earlier ones.
It's not the Pokemon games that go in wrong direction, we are just growing up. There was a time when we were 10 and playing Red or Blue to the best of our abilities, struggling with every leader or elite four member, trying to use bros that we like despite their shallow movepools and bad stat distribution, believing that Charizard with ember, flamethrower, fire blast and slash is the best thing ever. Now, we are grizzled veterans of RPGs that can breeze through any modern Pokemon game without much effort, properly using type advantages, moves and abilities and wrecking every single opponent. Current Pokemon designs are not in any way better or worse than old ones too, we just stick to familiar ones that we've talked about with friends when we were kids.
Also, there is this thing about Nintendo is aiming new games primarily at Nipponese audience and secondarily at Murrika and Europoor. And majority of Japanese fans of Pokemon are kids, so games cannot be overly complicated and hard. They are still popular among kids who started with gen V or VI, so newer games have the same charm for then as they had for us back then. And each new game has longer playtime and more post-game content to enjoy.

Not necessarily. I was in my 20's when Pokemon came out and it was massively popular at my college. Beating the main game was never the tough part, it was all about building and raising teams.

I think a lot of it is that you just can't play the same game over and over and over. So eventually it was going to get boring. But Pokemon X/Y aren't made for people who have been playing since Red, it's for people who that's their first or second game in the series.

>There are only this many unique animal/plant/inanimate object designs you can use.

There are enough different animals they didn't need to resort to very similar ones so quickly. Only some of the Pokemon are clearly animal based anyways. But agreeing, I would have been fine with Spheal and it's evolutions if they were more interesting, or had different types.

I agree with you, I forgot there were some people who were already adult when first generation came out, as in my country it was always considered kiddie way of entertainment (Red and Blue came at the same time as Pokemon cartoon, Pokemon collectible stickers, Pokemon tazo tokens in chips and whatnot). It's kinda nice to learn how it looked and felt like from your point of view.
I agree that Pokemon X/Y is aimed mostly at newcomers (decline of quality and content at the expense of better graphics), but earlier B2W2 games were probably most complex games so far, with longest main story, plenty of post-game content activities, secrets, minigames, battles with weirdest sets of rules and so on. I've started with Red and whole gen V was still a real feast to me.

>There are enough different animals they didn't need to resort to very similar ones so quickly
I agree, but it does not apply very well for bug and water types. First two gens introduced plethora of various animals that fit to those types and now they are out of ideas so they have to put in more and more generic fishes and caterpillars because there is really nothing groundbreaking left, hard to blame them.

My interest waned with the character models.

With every successive generation, the pokemon became increasing bizarre. The first two generations were mostly analogs of real life animals (turtles, dinosaurs, dogs, horses, snakes, insects, etc) plants (shrooms, flowers, vines) myths and other sci-fi concepts (ghosts, robots, psychics, and demigods) and any of the above unceremoniously combined with an element or aspect of nature (onyx being essentially a rock snake, for example.) Sure, their were outliers, like whatever the fuck Jynx was, or those God awful hieroglyph pokemon, but it was more or less reasonable.

The character designs as a whole continued to follow this pattern for awhile, but as time went on, the designs just seemed to get lazier and lazier. Things started to go downhill with generation three, though it's passable. The recent generations are disgusting clusterfucks.

Don't tell that to /Vp/ though. Objecting to the fucktarded designs of modern pokemon will have you branded a genwunner faster than a /r9k/bot can reeeeeeee.

Honestly, this is how it is with most of my friends. And some of them have pretty good tastes, but I know for a fact aren't that artistically inclined. Simply put, I definitely believe there were flaws in the earlier gen's designs, and I hoped they'd get better. I don't believe they did, and I now see entropy in Pokemon's formula after however many years they've been at it.

I feel bad trying to distance myself from a series I felt so fondly about, but I can't stand the idea that I'm clinging to a husk of that series, and my friends all thinking it's still alive and well.

I feel you.

It's almost painful, because in a lot of ways the series has improved. I don't think anyone could deny that the gen 1 mechanics were broken. And gold/silver, despite it's status as a beloved nostalgic powerhouse, had A LOT of needless filler.

That said, modern reiterations may improve on some mechanical aspects, but the best improvements seemed to concur with the destruction of the lore. And destruction might seem like a strong word, but I'm not else how sure to put it.

What's worse than that is the "feeling" is gone. I loved the early pokemon games--despite their flaws, because the lore was strong enough to carry it. Now, I struggle to care, in spite of the obvious technical advancements. It's not out of nostalgia, or a sense of loyalty to the "original" pokemon, it is--as many people in the thread have noted--the fatigue of a dying franchise.

They're milking it at this point. Anyone that says otherwise is in denial.

Prejudice against certain species is not always based on the presence of sharp teeth/nails or animal being fierce predator. In exmaple, most people find gorillas intimidating because of their hulking posture and facial features that makes them always look angry, while liking chimpanzees. Meanwhile, gorillas are very meek for apes, usually very shy, sympathetic and able to socialize with humans while chims are one of the very few known animals that wage wars against other chimps for no reason (no conflict over territory, food or females, just for the pure bliss of killing and maiming other fellows).

We've strayed a little bit far from the topic though. It's kinda hard to say when I've stopped caring about Pokemon. during first two, maybe three generations, I was a kid still hype about everything Pokemon related. Now, every few years when a game comes out, I buy it, play it and enjoy it, but that's it. No drive for dragging post game fro too long, not enough determination to complete pokedex, not enough autism to breed Pokemon with perfect stas or play competetively.

Yeah sharp teeth was really just meant to mean generally scary looking. So interesting that our closest relative is another of the few species that engages in violence for the fun of it.

For me Gen 2 was the top. That was when I was really into breeding and battling. I enjoyed Gen 3, but wasn't into it quite the same. Then oddly I ended up playing Gens 4 and 5 mostly because of my mother who got way into the games so I played so I could talk to her about them.

But somewhere in Black/White we both burnt out on the formula and neither of us finished it. I had her hooked on Animal Crossing by then anyways.

I quit playing Pokemon after or during Hoenn.
It was an odd time in my life where I lost my family and had to move in with my uncle. I just sat and played it to feel a sense of normalcy, but I got picked on a lot by kids at school for it. They were the kind that always made gay jokes and tried to out man eachother. I quit playing Pokemon mostly because I felt they were right and I need to make a new life for myself rather than hang onto the past. That and they fucking broke my GBA!

I did get back into it though years later near the end of college and tried to play through all the games I missed. I think I became a bigger pokemon nerd than before....
Plus side was when I went back home, some of the bullies from school actually apologized for how they treated me.

Finishing Diamond or Pearl was really redious, those two games have the slowest pacing in whole Pokemon history. There is a delay after each input, between changing menus in battle or items, and many more slowdowns. Multiplied by few thousands, they add up to wasted hours of gameplay.

Bashing programmers for being shit is poor excuse, existing fanmade MMOs are, or were, as good as it was possible, it's just that this idea of all regions in one came cannot work because of experience scaling. You complete one region and have team of level 50-60 guys, complete another and have guys around 80 - 90, and then wat with remaining four regions? Chokeful with youngsters with level 100 Rattatas? And if you would tone down exp rate, you would make game grindy as hell and had to keep first E4 around levels 20-30, which would be laughable.
And what to do with player interaction? How do you endorse trading if there are no version exclusives and everything bar trade evolutions, can be achieved by yourself? How do you balance battles against players who grinded their teams to hell and back? There is no way to make working Pokemon MMO.

It's not really fair to claim that Pokemon series is completely stale, of course main games follow certain formula, but there are also other miniseries, like Pokemon Pinball (very decent and playable engine for Gameboy Classic) or Pokemon Ranger or Pokemon Conquest (crossover with Nobunaga's Ambition franchise) and several other games.

Too old and too young at the same time.

I'm old enough to remember when Pokemon came out and adults by and large scorned it as the babby-grade game it is.

The more jaded among us said Pokemon managed to eliminate the pesky stories and role playing elements from JRPGs.

Actually I did play the first game many years later in order to give it a fair shake. It was an OK time waster, but I really don't understand how it got so popular. Good marketing I guess.

Grinding combats near endgame means that you are not very good at those. Each generation had games which were easier to complete than previous one, and even in first generation, you can take on elite four and champion without tedious grinding in grass, experience granted by trainer encounters is enough. Unless you prefer approaching every boss fight with grossly overleveled character that takes enemies out in one hit as only viable strategy, but then it's no wonder that you find end game being not fun.

The USA had plenty of veteran ***RPG*** fans (including JRPGs which owe much to the American games of the early home computer era) in 1995 when Pokemon was first released.

So you've played western RPGs and complaining about Pokemon dumbing down JRPGs was just talking out of your ass.
>designed to keep children busy indefinitely, with an accessible interface and whizzy noises and animations
Interface and audiovisual side in first generation is pretty much bare bones, rectangles filled with plain text, no sprite animations whatsoever, 'whizzy noises' being short electronic bleeps. Pretty much peak of Gameboy technical possibilities, but certainly nothing wow inducing. Ultima VII is a real eyecandy when compared to Red or Blue.
Also, you find 'accessible interface' as game flaw? For fucking real? Are you by any chance also crying that nowadays those pesky fucking normie younguns dare to enjoy games with graphics while true patrician taste covers text only games with unsigned keyboard shortcut commands as only way of navigating through them?

all those games you've listed on one breath are western RPGs. Zelda is only jRPG you've mentioned in whole post, and whoa, playing one extremely mainstream game that everyone had heard of, when you were 9, surely makes you seasoned jRPG expert that can make judgements on which franchises contributed to the genre and which ones dumbed it down. You haven't even refuted actual argument about games you've listed being much more appealing to the eye and, by your logic, more fit for babby game title, but ignoring arguments is what to be expected from a /pol/tard.

I mentioned Zelda because that was my introduction to JRPGs and millions of others could say the same thing. I also played Ys on the IIGS, Final Fantasies, Phantasy Stars, among many MANY other JRPGs by the time Pokemon came out. I did not list every single game I had played, but I did list a couple very deep Western RPGs that were of more interest to a RPGer than some game where grinding was the whole point.

>refuted actual argument

If you'd care to present an argument, I could probably refute it. All you've done here is complain about your hurt feelings.

>I really wish I'll have as much time in my life when I'll be 40 as you to hang around in a thread dedicated to franchise I hate, for DAYS straight, just to post baby pictures, brag about my mature, refined taste and look down upon people who were born later than me.

It's not as if I hang in here 24/7 just waiting to torture you. I was simply making a point about Pokemon, one which mirrors that of OP. If he was born fifteen or twenty years earlier he probably wouldn't have bothered with Pokemon either.

An electronic pacifier is what Pokemon is designed to be. If you actually unironically enjoy it as an adult that's fine, but I'm not sure why. I listed a host of other games with a lot more going on story- and gameplay-wise but you simply discard this by impotently knocking my taste in games.

Pokemon is a kid's game, it's OK that it is. Your feelings about the matter aren't powerful enough to change this fact.

If you really want to make a point about being 'jRPG expert', you should've really started with listing jRPGs, simple as that, kinda hard to believe you when you list completely different games and when you drop two additional well known franchise names that everyone and their mother played.
>If you'd care to present an argument
There was an argument, but it's generally much easier to jump on single word in whole post than to read it as a whole; isn't it? First two generations of Pokemon games both look and sound very bland when compared to other games, namely both western and eastern RPGs of those times, mostly because of lack of representation of main series on non handheld consoles (unless you count Stadium games as ones, but those are entirely optional and not as popular). What drawn masses of people, both old and young, was mechanics based around thrill of collecting things and full customization of your party instead of relying on given set of characters that you have to deal with regardless of liking them or not, like most jRPGs usually done. Battle mechanics looks simplistic, but only if you overlevel, use only damaging moves and one shot everything, same can be said and done in most RPG games - playing around with predictions, buffs, nerfs and statuses is viable and actually required to complete more challenging parts of modern Pokemon games.
>It's not as if I hang in here 24/7 just waiting to torture you
But you actually do, not a single post of mine was left without response. Personally, I prefer to hang around in threads about games or consoles that I like and ignore those that I don't (maybe dropping a bait here and there, but not monitoring it for next few hundred hours), but it seems like some people like you just need to fuel their rage by waging pointless arguments and living in a delusion that they are making people buttmad with their retardation.

I never made that claim, you're trying to portray it as if I did though which is shady and kikey. You made the claim that there was no place that had adult veteran JRPG players, which was false and I BTFO'd you.

I have played a whole lot of different Japanese and western RPGs. Anyway if you wish to portray yourself as an RPG expert even worthy of talking on my level you should really start by listing off all the games you ever played and also write me a couple papers on how they affected you as you grew up.

>There was an argument

No in fact you made no argument whatsoever, not even a hint of one. You merely whined about my passing judgement on your children's game. That's not an argument, it's just sniveling.

>First two generations of Pokemon games

Ah, now you're shifting the goalposts and talking exclusively about Gen 1 Pokemon? Why? What's this have to do with anything?

>What drawn masses of people, both old and young

But let's face it, at least 99% of Pokemon players are under 12.

>mechanics based around thrill of collecting things and full customization of your party

Why go for a tyke game instead of Tactics Ogre instead? There's no reason to even play Pokemon, the babby game, unless you're a little kid and can't play a more in-depth game.

>only if you overlevel, use only damaging moves and one shot everything, same can be said and done in most RPG games

Blah blah, you're still calling Pokemon an RPG? It's a game devoid of RPG entirely. Anyway your argument is weak, 'lol since you can learn how to beat other games and game the system that means Pokemon's just as good and deep haha' is not an argument.

Nothing you've said here is an actual argument. It's just reasons why little kids like you like Pokemon.

Not getting into this whole thing of yours, but when I was big into Pokemon during Gen 1 and 2 I was in university and a big part of the reason is because it was so popular there. The elements and raising combined with competitive battling was like nothing we'd played. Calling it a baby game is kind of hilarious.

Most people who responded her happened to start with gen I and hate everything that happened after gen II or III, but those who started later, like Hoennbabbies, feel a burnout somewhere around gen V, Pokemon does not really get better or worse, it's just you can only do finite number of loops over the years after you became interested in it before growing bored out of it.
I've started with Yellow and got completely bored after completing Black 2, But I'm not going to blame designs or contents, it's just me moving on to other series and having no patience to breed/grind for competitive battles or catch them all again (more of 'them all' each game on top of that). Each new game is objectively more complex (maybe aside from ORAS, big step down for the sake of graphics) and has more fun things to do, it's just not appealing for those of us who started years earlier

What I said, quite clearly, is that once you're a certain age a one-dimensional game like Pokemon loses any luster it may have had.

What's sad is that you could have tried to make decent points, and real arguments, but instead you resort immediately to accusations of snobbery, elitism, my (imagined by you) lack of JRPG experience, etc. Now you're mad because I won't have a 'proper' discussion with you?

On the contrary, I only 'shat' on one popular franchise - Pokemon, and I didn't even really shit on it, just pointed out the fact that it's for small children. It's not like Nintendo didn't know this going in and when your mom bought you Pokemon she knew it too. It was a tool to shut your kids up in the pre-iPad times.

It's like painting a fantastic picture all over your wall and then being told you gotta go do someone elses, and someone elses until an arbitrary quota is passed. It went from fun game to series of chores in instalments.

I played bits of the latest one XY I think? that lets all your team get EXP even if they didn't fight and you got to travel fast really early in. So the franchise went in the right direction eventually.

Actually none of it was trolling. I legitimately believe, as does Nintendo Japan and Nintendo of America, that Pokemon is a kid's game. There are many kid's games on the market and I don't see how this is controversial OR offensive.

EXCEPT...

That there are meme lord level over 9000 wizards about who unironically believe that it's a good / deep game, and even more deluded folk who think it's a good RPG!

There are so many *actually* good games out there to play, even if your thing is collecting / assembling a custom army / etc.

By that time if you wanted deep gameplay with lots of variables in choosing your own custom team you'd have been playing Tactics Ogre.

Pokemon is not any kind of benchmark for this and people still enjoy Tactics Ogre relatively (99%) unchanged today on several systems because of its deep gameplay.

This is just one of many examples of course.

Not him, I'm >>3117468 The reason I always liked Pokemon and the reason it was so popular was that it was far more interesting than most JRPGs. The main game is always a cake walk, but battling other people got into some fun strategy that most of these games didn't have then.

I don't think anyone would have argued they were made for kids, but that didn't stop us from enjoying it. Heck, when you get down to it most games and almost all Nintendo first party games are made for kids anyways.

I never even played gold/silver, because my parents were cheap and wouldn't buy me it. By the time I was old enough to buy my own stuff we were already on Ruby/Sapphire and the deigns already looked like recycled garbage.

So my nostalgia ends with R/B/Y, and there are only 151 pokemon as far as I'm concerned.

The two-player battle aspect, I would agree, is one of the neatest parts of the game and it's unfortunate that there weren't lots of other games that allowed for this.

I bought FFT for iOS in hopes of seeing another meme lord on the bus / train playing Tactics when I was a public transport commuter, but never did see anybody playing it. I would always sit near the back so I could scope the people's screens too.

Did you have a corps of Pokemon players in your area that regularly battled?

>The two-player battle aspect, I would agree

Even in single player, easy as it is to over-level there weren't really other JRPGs of that complexity level.

All the action back then was at the actual college. Gen 1 had a bunch of people, but it was Gold/Silver when it exploded. Any time in the cafeteria there would be tables full of people playing, and gathering in halls. That was also when IV's and effort training was being figured out and talking about it constantly.

Wow looked like shit to me and the one MMO I ever played, Ragnarok was garbage and I hated it.

But I would play the fuck out a Pokemon MMO. Give me a massive open world where there are 700+ types of Pokemon roaming around in various grasses, forests, streams etc.

Have most of it just work like normal single player Pokemon but more open. But you see other trainers (players) out and about and can offer to battle them if you want.

Then have a bunch of competitive stuff like each gym be level capped and themed and have players compete to be gym master. So the Mulberry City gym is say Grass level 30 and various players can compete using level capped 30 grass types.

Or whatever, there are all sorts of things they could do. The real strength of Pokemon as a game has always been the multiplayer battles. Single player game is a neat adventure but it's always easy and doesn't require any of the pretty amazing depth the games have.

That's why an MMO would work so well with it, all you need is a big world where people can go to build whatever teams they want and then lots of opportunities for versus battling once you've got your teams ready. At this point that's what it would take to bring me back into the game.

Oldfag here, and I've noticed this a lot. It's weird, but the people who hate Pokemon almost all end up having been 13 - 20 when it got really big. In that age range where kid oriented things look really shitty. The ones younger than that got caught up in it and the ones older saw past the kiddiness at the depth that was there. But to that mid age range at the time it seems many people were turned off.

I believe the competitive base is a major reason why Nintendo doesn't want a Pokemon MMO game. It is ultimately aimed at young kids, and a bunch of try-hards who take it seriously screaming at little kids all day over how they didn't optimize their entire team will make for a community that is worse than even League or Path of Exile.

Nintendo often makes great decisions and it has multiple franchises under its name that straight-up print money, but they do not believe that games should be played at a competitive level, and should be played for the entertainment of the individual.

Where did anyone say that though? You started crying because someone was called a Jew, and that's it.

Although it's true, Jews like you really are the worst, and race wars are the greatest part of Pokemans. Jews also love race wars, which is why they race-bait Pokemans constantly to escalate them.

When Mega Evolution kicked in with the Kanto starter they gave you in X. That game is waaaay easier than the already easy previous entries, even without EXP. Share, no Megas, and no grinding. I realized I was more into finding clothing for the girl protag than actually finding Pokemon.

The designs were fine, but the world was flat boring and there wasn't anything interesting other than the few exploration quirks. Like the cave with the behind camera angle instead of overhead and riding the Rhydon through the snow.

The thing is I thoroughly White and Platinum. They were easy and the story childish, but it was at a fun ride with cool locations. Platinum has my favorite setting with variety of locations and fucking Spear Pillar. Climbing up Spear Pillar to confront Team Galactic then getting sucked into that other dimension was fun, if not underutilized. Also, the music was fucking great.

White's story was nothing special, but I liked the roughness of the 3d with 2d sprites. The music was great and seeing Plasma's methods was enough of a change along with N's encounters to at least come off as TRYING something new. Then wrap it up with a battle with legendaries against N... it was a cool set-up. Best part was being forced into using only 5th gen Pokemon until post-game, and the fast-paced battle system (X fucked that up).

Overall I'd have to say 5th gen is my favorite in terms of designs. I don't think they look like Digimon and are a cool urban parallel to the rustic, older designs. I've been playing the games as they came out in my free time. I'm 26 now and X just sucked way too hard to continue.

BTW favorite Pokemon? Going have to go with Quagsire over here. I had one that kicked ass in Netbattle with Seismic Toss/Yawn/Earthquake/Counter. He was a defensive, countering asshole. Good times.

When it turned into a bad anime simulator with none of the things that other anime simulators fun or interesting

I didn't hate D/P but black and white felt like a bad season of Digimon and X/Y were just straight up retarded. The series went from just being Pokemon to nintendo RPG lite featuring Pokemon and doesn't seem to be evolving from there.

Who is Noone? Also if you're not impressed, why are you responding to every one of my posts? You seem pretty impressed by the fact that not everyone on this site is a triggered autistic tumblrfag like you.

Strange, I played a lot of jrpgs as a kid and watched the shit out of the show but when i got pokemon yellow as a gift from my dad, I genuinely had zero interest in playing the game, it felt boring to me and there were better RPGs out there imo.

Anonymous Tue Apr 19 03:54:00 2016 No.3151104

Honestly, I loved all V gens up until VI. Then everything went to shit. X/Y and ORAS are extremely mediocre and just painfully easy, even with the exp share turned off. I know the game is designed with kids in mind, but College-Age kids are probably the second-largest (or fuck, maybe even largest at this point, I know very few college-age kids who don't own the new Pokemon) so some higher difficulty would be nice. I liked how Black and White 2 had the option for a Hard Mode, and although not much of a difference, I still appreciated it. The system for unlocking it was convoluted as fuck though.

Nuzlocke stuff makes the game more challenging but I never like to have to impose my own challenge on the game to enjoy it.

That feels horrifically cherry-picked. Recent generations definitely have a different (and somewhat worse) style to new generations, but it's not that bad. /vp/ for a while did a "what if" where they redesigned pokemon as if they were in newer/older generations - and it's fairly accurate. Included in this picture are Gen 5 Suicune, Gen 4 Fearow, Gen 4 Farfetch'd, Gen 5 Electabuzz, Gen 4 Dugtrio, and Gen 1 Hydreigon and Magmortar.

There is very little there unless you want to get autistic about stats and stuff you can't see unless you datamine. But I stopped caring after yellow because I knew what it was. It was going to be sold over and over with new monsters and the same system. With added gimmicks.

Or you can beat the game easily without grinding. I have never had to grind for levels, not even as a kid. I regularly beat the games with a 10+ level difference between me and the Champion.

Yes instead you can enjoy the amazing "story" as you "role play" as Ash.

Face it, grinding is the only thing in the game aside from autistically collecting Pokemon.

When the first GBA games rolled in. The number of pokemen in the first and second generation games was enough for me and and I felt like they had to stop (I didn't know how big a cash cow Pokemon was back then). Despite the technical upgrades I've never cared for anything past the second gen.

>Pokemon getting worse
Hardly any meaningful aspect of the game got worse over time. The real problem is that it's coming across as stale now since it hasn't budged an inch. Mega Evolution wasn't a great idea, but it was at least something to stave off the stagnation.

Postgame has steadily gotten worse since it peaked at Emerald.

Gym Leader and E4 teams have also noticeably gotten worse from Gen V onward, pic related.
