Box 1 filler ho.

I think Venusaur got the shaft.

Honestly, this makes me a lot more interested in this game. I know it's fashionable these days for Pokémon fans to hate on the older games, but as a casual fan of the series this kind of thing gets me more excited for the new games.

BAHAHAHAHOHOOHOHOAHAHAAHAA!!!!!1111!!


...ahem. What I meant to say was, you must be joking. The reality is actually the complete opposite: it's very cool for the fandom to bitch about the new pokemon gens. Hell, they've done this every gen for the last ten years.

[NWR_insanolord]

All I know is whenever I express fondness for the original games/Gold & Silver I run into people jumping down my throat for it. Plus, Shaymin above me and a bunch of other people seem to hate that this is happening.

Don't worry about them, I've played nearly every mainline pokemon game and I'll say that G/S/C are still my three favorite games in the series. (I will admit those were my first true pokemon games so a fair bit of nostalgia).


Pretty cool about the Kanto starters. Probably will go with the fire starter so I can pick Squirtle to be my teams water type.

[Wah]

charzards power is really overpowered!
It's called sun blaze or something!
He dies in eight turns in sunny weather...
but hes special attack gets doubled each turn e.g +1 first turn, +2, +4, +8 SO ON!
u can see how it gets overpowered!

I think the problem is I've played the games so much that I've used those Pokemon to bloody death. I'm more excited for the new Pokemon than anything. I'm also in a minority of one, which means I'm insane (as opposed to Ian Sane).

Gotta agree, except there isn't that much you can do with his design. Unfortunately.

[Wah]

Hoenn region was the best!
RUBY FOR THE WIN!

[Wah]

i wonder if they will make a remake of ruby&sapphire?

[nickmitch]

Hoenn was my least favorite region. Couldn't really tell you why. I only played Emerald, and maybe I just needed more time to put together a good team.

Gen IV was my fav because of the Gen II remakes (previous favorite).

[Wah]

You didn't like Hoenn? WHAT?!
all the islands, the cities in the treetops, the island ones, the underwater ones, the floating town!
Maybe it's because i love water so much is because i liked it!

[nickmitch]

I just didn't find the actual Pokemon that interesting. Plus, the environments weren't that memorable to be (maybe because I only played through the region once). And the Champion in Emerald specialized in water types. That felt too easy. Like just another gym leader.

I feel like thats how it should be tbh.

[Wah]

Stevens a dragon master? WTF? Plus tropius is the rarest pokemon other then a legendary!
Only avaible in Hoenn (i'am breeding lots!) And the starters and lengendary's were awsome!

Drake uses Dragon-types.
Steven uses Steel and Rock-types.

You battle Drake as a member of the Elite Four in R/S and E.

[Mop it up]

I don't care about balance, I'll be picking both fire ones.

Unless we don't get a choice in the Kanto starter and it's based on which new one we pick, in which case it'll be a very tough choice...
