I don't see any mutated fruit loops there bro I assumed you knew what you were whining about
[QUOTE=Megafan;34871393]Seriously? The only new things that were brought to the table (at least up until the DS era) were so worthless it's not even funny. Berry mixing? Versus seeker? The endless stream of far too many pokemon? [/QUOTE] Ehh.. no, in fact that statement made me hurt on the inside a bit... They added things, slowly yes, but each iteration added something rather important. Gen two was breeding, that is rather important in gen 4+ meta game(breeding for IVs, Abilities). Gen three added abilities, natures and reformed the individual/effort value system. It also added double battles and opened up a new spectrum to competitive battling. Gen four fixed the attack and sp.atk system, so it makes more sense. It also added the ability to battle and trade over wifi. Gen five added Rotation and triple battles, again, opening up a new way to play. It also added the dreamworld, pretty awesome Pokemon with unique abilities can be found there. As for moves and new Pokemon, diversity is good. It may seem like a lot but, the more there are, the more diversity in the metagame there is. Yeah. They added important shit.

Then again, people who wear those fucking crotchless pants in real life look stupid too, so fair's fair, I guess. The other two are good.

if you're not going to bring anything intelligent to this then you should stop

I loved Pokemon as a kid, but I haven't played it in a while. Sure, I've wanted to, but I could never be bothered to get a DS for it. I wish I still had my Pokemon Yellow edition of the GBC. It always astounds me how they don't get flak for what they do though. If you think about it, it's worse than the repetition in the CoD series. They release 2 games that are all but identical except for a slightly different (read: different color) antagonist group and a different end-game pokemon. And starting with Gold/Silver, they release a THIRD game that just combines the first two with a bit more of end game content. New titles added a bunch of cool stuff and made it worth it to buy though.
I would get this, sadly my DS mysteriously disappeared about a year ago.

And the years are much more spread apart than in CoD.
Why are people so exited for yet another rehash aimed at MLP watching manchildren [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Trolling" - verynicelady))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=fishyfish777;34871545]If you're talking about GenIII, then I'd disagree due to the fact that it effectively [I]modernized[/I] Pokemon to 21st Century standards, with everything from abilities and double battles, a huge-ass world, updated visuals, weather, and so on. GenII to GenIII was a huge leap. And while I agree that GenIV didn't really change anything (I haven't played it), Generation V (BW) effectively modernized GenIII by introducing Pokemon to very impressive 3D, giving it a decent plot, furthering online multiplayer development, streamlining language controls, and just generally giving it an [I]epic[/I] theme in comparison to GenII/III. In contrast, there might be numerous Megaman spinoffs but the sequels within each spinoff rarely change anything compared to the previous games. There's also, as stated above, a shitton of Pokemon spinoffs as well, which often happen to be decent games.[/QUOTE] Gen IV didn't introduce anything? Special/Physical split made some pokes a lot better (absol, gyarados, etc) by giving them a physical STAB

no, cowboys are sweet N is dumb though
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;34872009]no, cowboys are sweet N is dumb though[/QUOTE] The plot involving him is pretty good though.
[QUOTE=~Myst;34872004]You have got to be kidding. Really? ... REALLY?[/QUOTE] Pokemon is shit, it's basically a Japanese Call of Duty it even has the same target audience
[QUOTE=geel9;34871484]Actually, Pokemon has had different "genres" in its series. Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, all those Pokemon Ranger games, the Pokemon ranch game for the Wii, that one Pokemon game where you're all toys or whatever on the Wii, etc.[/QUOTE] Except other than Pokemon Ranger or Pokemon Ranch (?), the difference is that one is in 3D and one is in 2D. If you compared Megaman Legends to classic Megaman or even Megaman Battle Network you'd be pretty hard-pressed to say the gameplay is the same, but if you compare Pokemon Colosseum to Pokemon Gold (or any handheld Pokemon game really), it's basically the same game.
[QUOTE=Cuntsman;34872038]Pokemon is shit, it's basically a Japanese Call of Duty it even has the same target audience[/QUOTE] in what way is it like call of duty that hasn't already been refuted above
[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;34872032]The plot involving him is pretty good though.[/QUOTE] yeah just don't like the green hair ponytail and the random rubik's cube
[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;34872032]The plot involving him is pretty good though.[/QUOTE] Honestly, the story for black and white was a good bit better than the previous ones.

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;34871823]Ehh.. no, in fact that statement made me hurt on the inside a bit... They added things, slowly yes, but each iteration added something rather important.

It being on the DS is really no excuse, numerous JRPGs have full 3D environments and characters.
[QUOTE=Cuntsman;34872083]The fact that you have to buy another rehash for a minor change in gameplay that's shit regardless of what you do It's baby's first jRPG[/QUOTE] 100+ new Pokemon and additions and changes in gameplay mechanics is hardly a rehash. The concept will always be the same though.

Remember how in the beginning of new pokemon games, you always fight a bunch of rodent pokemon? They just replace said rodent with another.
[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;34872074]read wingedwizard's post[/QUOTE] Yes, I get that they added some different new thing for each generation, but what I'm saying is even past that, it's still basically the same game. Did breeding so radically change the gameplay in Gold/Silver that it was worth a whole new game? Did fixing how Special Attack works so radically change the gameplay in Diamond/Pearl that it was worth a whole game? It's like in Call of Duty, where if they add one new gametype or perk per game, but the gameplay is basically the same. That's ridiculous, so why is this any different?
[QUOTE=Cuntsman;34872083]The fact that you have to buy another rehash for a minor change in gameplay that's shit regardless of what you do It's baby's first jRPG[/QUOTE] couldn't you say the same thing about Half-Life then is Half-Life shit? why change it if it works?
And Pokemon is hardly a story-driven game, you have to admit. [editline]25th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=salty peanut v2;34872147]couldn't you say the same thing about Half-Life then is Half-Life shit? why change it if it works?[/QUOTE] If it works why does it need a sequel that is basically the same?
[QUOTE=The Baconator;34872122]You do realize the new pokemon just replace the old ones? Remember how in the beginning of new pokemon games, you always fight a bunch of rodent pokemon? They just replace said rodent with another.[/QUOTE] We obviously do not think on the same level here. For me, Pokemon is about the competitive side. Each rodent has something unique about it. Whether it be its movepool or ability. I enjoy the story also, good time killer for a handheld.
Wow This is reminding me how much I loathe half the Pokémon fandom. "hurr-fuckiddy-durr all the new pokemon look like digimon they're all so ugly nothing is good past 1999 god pokemon sucks now" Shut up, god.
