What bothered me was the change in the system in the third generation which I feel is completely unecessary. In Generations 1 and 2, you didn't need to know what they were to get thee best stats since there was no universal cap. You had to know IVs, which are hinted in game, and depending on the level, the box trick, which is also easy to figure out. How they expected you to learn how to learn, cope with the universal cap is a bit of a mystery.Um...EVs were never explained in-game in the first place. Why would they explain the changed system of them? EVs and IVs are supposed to be behind-the-scenes things which affect stats to create varied stats for different Pokémon. The reason you had to go on the internet to discover a change in the system is Game Freak didn't intend for EVs to be known about in the first place.
I still have no idea how anyone could like Generation 2.Personally i prefer GEN 2
Okay, day/night changes. That's one plus. It was 100, making it the smallest generation ever. I'd call that a minus. Take off Celebi, Politoed, and Smeargle... replace them with Houndoom, Forretress, and Steelix. Those are the only pokemon I liked in that generation. I consider that a minus.Well, if it wasn't clear enough in the previous posts, let me explain it to you now
Gen 2 brought day/night changes, 150 new pokemon (it was 150 right?), Shiny pokemon, breeding, Celebi (that's my personal opinion there), etc.
Just because you believe that the generation was filled with misfits, it doesn't mean that everybody else thinks they're misfits as well. I mean, I personally love every pokemon that gen 2 brought. I loved Politoed, Slowking, Celebi, Lugia, Entei, Mantine, Skarmory, Smeargle, Scizor and even more when I had the game.
Plus, gen 2 brings back a lot of happy memories of people who are around my age. When I was little, we didn't have Pokemon Red or Blue. Instead we were stuck with Pokemon Gold and Silver. To people around my age, Pokemon G/S is like what Pokemon R/B was to people who were even old enough to remember gen 1. You know what I mean? People who are 18 or so now, remember the happy times they had with gen 1 and they're Pikachus and what not while a lot of people my age remember the happy memories that gen 2 brought to us with the new system changes.
If people my age will remember gen 3 as fondly as people remembered gen 1 & 2 I someday I have no idea, but majora, there are a lot of different factors that could lead somebody to love gen 2. Just because you think that the pokemon were meh, it doesn't mean that other people don't love them
251 was like the perfect number for me. And if you saw my list of Pokemon that I liked from 2nd gen, you'd understand. And then if you added on my list of some of my favorite Pokemon from 1st gen, you'd also understand, because it just so happens that you can get a lot of them rather early on in the 2nd gen games. And this is the biggest selling point of the game to me. I can actually Nuzlocke a game like this (or HG/SS) and actually LIKE doing so, because I like most of the Pokemon in each area so much that I could give a **** less what I get, because I know I'm going to like it.Okay, day/night changes.

I started with Blue, but I always preferred Gold/Silver and part of me could care less about the RBY series because of that. And I never saw the toned-down RBYG adventure as an actual adventure of Kanto, per-say. I always just found it to be a "hey, look at how this place changes over two years" sort of thing. And I really appreciated the game for that.And you know, I started with Silver Version myself. It does get the nostalgia point, but that still leaves it with zero in my book. =/ It holds a special place on my game shelf for being the first pokemon game I ever owned, and it introduced the ever-so-cool day and night system. It also introduced two new types that I like a lot. However, the actual pokemon they supplied, and the fact that it added a toned-down Red/Green/Blue/Yellow adventure at the end wasn't doing it for me. Even if 16 badges WAS cool.
I used to like 3rd gen, but for some weird reason I just simply can't play the games anymore. I try and I try, but it never works out. I get only so far in and then I get bored as hell. I've never really experienced that with GSC. Well...not until I did a solo Spinarak run-through. That was haunting, to say the least.That's why I like generation 3 more, it's got the experience I enjoy with stuff that appeals to me. I don't like that it took out passing time though. =P
I would have hated an actual adventure in Kanto. I prefer just having one adventure and then getting an extra, relatively big area added that I can just kinda explore whenever the hell I feel like it. And that's what Kanto felt like to me; even if it was supposed to be like a mini-quest.And again, the second region was just a shell of Kanto with a necessary miniquest and eight gyms. The gyms were nice, but if it had been an ACTUAL ADVENTURE in Kanto, I would have enjoyed it more. It really never felt like that for me.
holy **** i wanna shake your hand sir!Gen III, am I the only one who thinks Johto is full of misfits?
Gen 2, unfortunately, had the worst starters out of the whole series.And the one drawback I always saw, IMO Generation 2 has the worst grass starter ever made. However, I think it had the best water starter.
God, so much to fixTRG said:Typhlosion was pretty cool (not as cool ascooler than Zard or Blaziken though), Feraligatr wasmeh****ing awesome, andMeganiumSceptile/Torterraisare the worst starters we've had yet.
...Are you smoking drugs? =PGen 2, unfortunately, had the worst starters out of the whole series.
Actually, that's Hoenn's hook. Hoenn is a tropically based region and as such of course there's gonna be a ****load of water.gen 3:
soooo much water :[[[ and i wish they coulda put johto or kanto back in there instead of pointless underwater caves :/
The reason it didn't have that many was because of two reasons:there werent as many filler episodes
Because it's not based on a single opinion (no offense), and also mostly because there were a whopping 29 pre-evolutions and evolutions of pokemon from PREVIOUS games, leaving less than 80 brand new ones, even fewer than Johto had.Gen IV is the best. Gen III is the worst. I don't understand these poll results at all.
I would really appreciate it if your grammar and punctuation were good enough for someone that's not even a grammar Nazi to understand it.i still wouldent mind something ****** to take place ill made a thread about my idea on how pokemon should end and EVERYTHING gimme a day or 2 when i got time
Gen 4 could never happen in that order due to there being evos of pokemon in other gens.why is there such hate for gen 4, exactly?
like, if the order wen:
gen 4-2-3-1, would we all be hating on 1 because it's not like "the original"?
If we didn't like gen 4 solely for the fact that it's not "the original", why is it that gen 2 is winning with gen 3 close behind, tied with gen 1?why is there such hate for gen 4, exactly?
like, if the order wen:
gen 4-2-3-1, would we all be hating on 1 because it's not like "the original"?
Why do people think everything is racist nowadays? It's like in ten years just mentioning an accent about a singer is going be considered racist.I pointed out how much it has to be america & how racist it is lol
