Personally, I hope that when BW get remade, Pokemon will by then have added an option to skip/fast-forward through dialogue scenes.

No matter how much you like the story, I think it's fair to get bored by watching the same long-winded dialogue you've seen before.

 

[MooMew64]

Over 20 years ago, we were using Fly or Teleport right as a Trainer challenged us to get Mew


Now? Kids are using Surf in the same manner to get Darkrai and Shaymin.



It all comes full circle.

so uh

Will TPC and Nintendo get mad at you for using those glitches

'cause they sound cool and I wanna do 'em, but not if the it'll make our Nintendo overlords put me under a sniper's scope, lol

I doubt they can completely negate that encounter for Bank and ****. If they remade it, most likely they'll release the event legitimately eventually. And its hard to find a glitched vs non glitched Shaymin.

Not the Gen 7 slander too, you're killing me.

Just found out I can't transfer BB Greninja from the demo to my copy of Ultra Moon, because GF hates us. The slander will only increase.

But seriously, Gen 5's main attempt is that it was meant to be different. Completely original dex, a whole different typ of region, a hard focus on the story, more involved characters and a banger soundtrack make Gen 5 stand out above the rest. I'm not sure if you played B&W, but if you can get past the unique differences that made Gen 5 stand out, you're bound to have a good time.

Ok, so here are the problems; having absolutely no Pokémon from previous gens before finishing the game was another terrible decision from that generation, I also don't like how to region is literally just a circle and progression is too linear. Also related to the linearity problem, is the plot. Here is the thing: I like great and complex plots in something like Metal Gear or Final Fantasy, but in Pokémon, I really value freedom and the feeling I'm just living my own adventure, without the plot getting in the way. That's what the plot does in those gens in particular, they get in the way, specially in gen 7, sooooooo much cutscene.... it took a while for me to realize that the feeling that I'm still in the tutorial would never go away playing that game and the feeling of freedom or that I'm on my own adventure would never come. Because the avatar was quite literally not in their own adventure in-universe either, it was a guided tour. Gosh, gen 7 was just such a disappointing experience, no wonder I was even burned out of Pokémon after I finished it.

Oh, back to gen 5, there were many other things that gen bothered me too that I don't even remember right now, but yeah, not a fan.

Oh, and having banger soundtracks is the only good thing Pokémon games consistently do, it's not a place where gen 5 stands out.

Yooo

we’re getting a Sonic movie and a Mario movie in the same year.

dope

[Z25]

My guess for Black and white Remakes would be

Tera White, Turbo Black.

Or they combine the plot of BW2 and make it:

Fractured Black, Fractured White

Glacial Black and Glacial White.

Something combining legends abilities make sense imo.

When do we get to phase 2 of the cinematic universe where The Announcer invites Mario, Sonic and Detective Pikachu to the Smash Brothers initiative?

Bro I adore gen 7 and I’ll defend it till the day I die.

but

I understand it’s flaws are kinda major dealbreakers for some people, so Y’know

 

[Pokelego999]

Guys


I think I may slowly be becoming a proper Kanto enthusiast

 

[Z25]

So it appears my theory where BDSP connects to Legends Arceus is not correct.


Unless...

Well they do connect sort of. The library has a brand new book that clearly sets up something out in the ocean of legends, since we can see the gate it mentions in Legends footage.

Gen 7 is one of my personal favorites too man.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Kind of funny, we were all expected Gen 3 remakes to be named things like "Shimmering Sapphire" and "Radiant Ruby" only for them to go off of X/Y's letter theme instead (Alpha/Omega).

Maybe Gen 5 remakes will base their adjectives off of whatever Gen 9's theme is.

Can't wait for Pokemon Meter and Pokemon Mile, followed by the remakes Celsius Black and Fahrenheit White.

 

[Shroob]

That's a thing?

Yep, you can glitch out Surf in the new remakes to surf to Darkrai/Shaymin's location.

 

[Pokelego999]

BDSP was so faithful to the originals they even kept the same glitches in it

 

[Noipoi]

Guys

Nah jk that’s fine man.

Honestly even though I don’t like Kanto pandering, I don’t really have anything against Kanto itself. It’s just not as interesting to me as my favorite regions.

And also I like to **** on it cuz it makes genwunners seethe lol

 

[Z25]

To be fair this was a “feature” of the original games, you just had to do it a little differently. Ironically enough a lot of the game has the same glitches as the original. I wonder if the cute charm glitch could be replicated. That would be pretty broken.

I just like it because it reminds me of how I like Pokemon. Places to explore everywhere, figuring everything out for yourself, new nooks and crannies in which secrets are held, the story that's not too intrusive and lets you go at your own pace, etc.

Not to mention the original 151 are very solid designs overall.

 

[Z25]

Honestly the fact that the marketing for the game literally included the void glitch kinda makes me think some of these glitches being kept was intentional. Especially when Shaymin and Darkrai had their events unfinished originally, but the day one patch changed that. Meaning the Arceus even was left a abandoned

 

[Shroob]

You enjoy Kanto for the nostalgia and simple Pokemon designs.

I enjoy Kanto because it's possible to beat it in under 1 minute.

We are not the same dot meme

 

[TheMightyP]

Nah, Gen 7 can stay underappreciated as long as it means that we don't get Genwunners 3.0 with Gen 7 stans.


It's me, I stan Gen 7, SuMo top 2 Pokemon gen idc.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Yep, you can glitch out Surf in the new remakes to surf to Darkrai/Shaymin's location.

Huh, i wonder if that's intentional on the devs side of things, since you could do something similar in the original releases of the game.

Idk if I even have a right to be mad at Kanto Pandering as a Gen 5 stan, considering Gen 5 is James Turner's baby and we all know that he puts in overtime to give Gen 5 mons extra forms and ****.

So many good dwagons

Look I know I'm really stretching the definition here but if Iris gets to count Lapras I get to count Scyther okay?

I go into the National Park to catch Sunkern

I exit with feels after the song hits me like a truck



Same with Cianwood.

God Gen 2's music has such a feel to it.

Unironically, there's potentially to call it the best entry in the whole franchise



It's pricetag sure reflects that.
