Yeah, and Machiavelli was wrong.
Can we not do this? Seriously?

Let's not be shounen protagonists with crap to prove and chips on our shoulders. We know better.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I dont know what "Shounen" means, but I like the general idea, MWNY senpai!
Lets all cuddle and kiss instead <3

yeah lets go back to making this thread actually funny and ****.

super serious social issues are topics that i dont really agree being introduced into social threads with no direction and should be relocated to a separate thread with said issues as the actual focus point so that people who want to participate can volunteer.


so can we agree to avoid super loaded topics and if they do come up, we just derail that **** and move to another topic?

i really just dont feel that it's a good idea to talk about said topics in threads like this

why is this overworld so awful somebody tell me
Its always been ****, and honestly they made it even worse somehow
Like I didn't even recognize the day care route the first time I saw it, it looked so bad.
Its also significantly harder to recognize where you are on the map with all the fast travels they do for you, I dislike it. You get teleported around instead of having to backtrack. When you go on the ship to the 2nd gym, you dont even get to see yourself traveling the map so you have no idea where you are geographically, unless you constantly check the world map. Like you dont learn the map, they just throw you around.
For a remake, it has a lot more of "go do this, now we take you here to go do this" moments, instead of actual exploration of the overworld (which is sub-par to begin with).
Constant Rival interactions dont help either for learning the world, to me running into the rival litterally every single route and having him just tell me to do what I was already doing felt horrible and really broke any sort of immersion for me.

Then the whole Latias/Latios thing was super out of place, thrown in to probably just appeal to kids. The auto-traveling that happens there is anoying as well, because it happens like 5 feet into a new area.

The originals had ONE aspect of fast traveling (i'm pretty sure) that happened later in the story, and it fit for story reasons because its the respective team transporting you to the place in a time of serious need.

I feel like they just pumped this one out for money. 3rd gen was charming but had serious flaws map wise and clarity for story advancement wise, and instead of really trying to fix those flaws, like changing the map or making the actions more apparent to begin with, they just auto travel you around sometimes and they just bang you over the head with what to do.

Also, whoever thought it would be cool to turn a casino town into a literal shopping mall should be fired.

its still easier to not give a **** and live your own life

also how hard it is to care about **** is very much case by case and milage may vary

some people just got enough **** to worry about in their own life and dont have the mental/emotional/spiritual HP to allocate that **** to some ongoing incident halfway across the country.

it's one thing to keep your self updated and abreast on the situation, but a whole nother thing to actually give a ****.
**** mang, I just give my sympathies and a little bit of empathy and that's my care.

I could not care, but for me it's just as easy to care just a bit for everyone.

Debatable. Morality is a real grey area.. one of those things with no right or wrong answer. :\

We are just simply two different kinds of people. Wed be better off accepting that and moving on than bark back and forth, trying to get the other to see our own ways.
It's not really barking because as far as i'm concerned you're free to think the way you want to.

My disagreement is only to see if you might change that opinion of yours because I don't really feel that it's one of the best ways to think about your fellow man.

Pretty sure cops are trained to shoot the biggest mass of a target they can (often the torso). Trick shots like aiming for a leg or a shoulder generally isn't advised, since missing could potentially prove fatal for either the officer (from being attacked) or any bystander who may get hit by the stray bullet.
that they are, but you've got to access the threat level.

One black, unarmed man is not a significant threat. a threat, but not a significant one.

bullet in the air might of spooked him to just surrender.

Trainer ID # I bet.
I was a cooltrainer when I played Ruby in 2004.

To explain, when you mix records with others, your secret base will appear in others games, and in your secret base, you appear in others' games as a trainer that battles once a day. The Pokemon are your party Pokes when mixing records and the trainer you appear as depends on your last digit of the trainer ID.

What did people expect?
Ruby and Sapphire had a crapload of water too, and few criticized the amount of water in 2003.
I did notice a lot of water, but was rather indifferent to it.

I dare say that X/Y had not enough water.

I'm skipping ORAS because Hoenn was the region that made me stop playing Pokemon altogether until my return to Johto.

I rad that ORAS doesnt let you customize your person.

Is this true? Because thats major BS on Nintendos part, and kinda shows they are not really looking to actually advance a series in any shape or form. :\ Why introduce cool stuff just to take it out next game?

Id love to play, but I dont own a 3ds and im not really keen on buying one just for a game that ill only play through once :\

Do they have 3DS emulators by chance?
Idk about emulators but there are plenty of other reasons to buy a 3ds. Pokemon ORAS, pokemon X/Y, Fire Emblem Awakening, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and others I havent played but heard they are great like Bravely Default

Pokemon is cool.

I really think i'm losing interest in the mainline games though.

moreso the competitive aspect, but it's literally my favorite franchise.

Pokken fighters when ;_;

And this sums up my experience with the Hoenn games in general back then.
The smaller Dex until FRLG, the compatibility lockout which prevents an obvious solution to the smaller dex, the hardly existent and inferior night and day system, the near absence of weekly events like Bug Catching Contests and Ferries, the crappy Safari Zone that assumes you have 30+ Pokeblocks, the Battle Tower full of cheaters and Wobuffets, the very short single player campaign, the existing secret/not secrets like the locked door, I can go on and on.

All this and more made me feel that R/S were piles of trash compared to G/S/C.

I like Metagross though.

Emerald was one of my first Pokemon games, loved it, and I enjoy replaying it. And to me, that's all that matters. Ruby and Sapphire are pretty **** though in comparison.

Also, lol cloning glitch.

O_O

I've been playing since the originals. I'm pretty done with Pokemon. Would only get some enjoyment from playing Pokemon Stadium again with someone somewhere in the future (a bit of 1 for the nostalgia and 2 for the mini-games).
