The classic Pokémon games have an element of craftsmanship that appears to be missing from the modern titles.

Red - Blue - Yellow to this day are the best ones

mukch

It is nearly a perfect game. The leveling curve of your pokemon in this game is the worst of the entire franchise though. Its a fun game until around pokemon level 35-40 and then the game is a snorefest.

Heartgold & Soulsilver are by far the most awesome Pokémon games of all times. Such an amazing gameplay and so rich in content. It still gets me every now and then thinking about the awesome time I had playing the game... ❤

7 year old me had no idea where to find Flash so I did indeed trial and error my way through rock tunnel while it was pitch black using the faint walls that existed in gen 1 as guides.

I still use my pokewalker, I have taken over 3 billion steps so far

using NKG's theme for the final boss is so fitting

How many Pikmin would you need to complete Olimar's story? It's been a while and i only just found your channel

Every SINGLE player of Gen 1 called their rival either "Stinky" or "Ass"

Never understood the argument nostalgia baiting. Its basically you like it because you liked it.

It’s Dan-door-i

Fun fact: coop mode rocks can destroy electric walls

I wish you would have included the link for the graphic from reddit in the description for boomers like me who can't google their way out of everything :( I enjoyed the video very much.

17:05 493 x 6 = ton of work

After 8 minutes all I heard was complaining about RBY and back handed compliments about GS. What I got out of those 8 minutes is that you HATE the Gameboy games. You expect them to be perfect from the get go. If it wasn’t for those games, there’d be no Pokémon. They’re not perfect, but deserve the respect. Besides, I didn’t see Pokémon fever when HGSS came out. It came out during the Gamboy Games.

Let‘s go Pikachu and Let‘s go Eevee were in fact, remakes of the yellow version and not red and blue😬

lol, "food shortage", there is only a food shortage because the entire population has become obsessed with the fad of blending fruit smooties.

only fault the remakes made was not to adress the horrendious leveling curve and alot of the new gen 2 mons like houndour being in post game. fr the rest it was perfect

Oh, minor correction: The Russian Orthodox Church wouldn't be considered a Protestant church, Orthodox Christians are a different branch that split from Catholicism (or that Catholicism split off from, either way) much earlier than the Protestant Reformation.

Just realized how old this video is making me feel a bit old but also confident enough to say that it is possible to beat with no Pikmin, just not 100% the game(I think)

I don't think the Help Center insults the player's intelligence because it helped me out when I first played Pokemon (Leaf Green)

20:52 It’s obvious. You need to go through customs.

With mods 2 purple Pikmin and a dream

I feel like the dexit issue wouldn't have been nearly as bad if sword and shield hadn't been awful games. If we had seen the same kind of upgrade in quality from Ultra Sun/Moon as there had been from Crystal to Ruby/Sapphire, the pill would have been much easier to swallow.

All soulless. Just play the original.

Not joking when I say this, and seriously pass it along to your kids. My biggest regret in life is actually letting peer pressure stop me from playing pokemon during gen 3 and I totally missed out on this masterpiece as it was happening, I did later enjoy all of Gen 4 as Platinum is responsible for me falling in love with pokemon again (a gen 2 remake couldn't be the factor, as much as I love it, nostalgia couldn't be what cemented that I still really enjoyed it) Seriously, I would trade all the tail I chased in high school just to go back and undo that mistake, and I wasn't like "dripping in it" or whatever the kids say these days, but in comparison to the other guys in my class I'd say I was "luckier" than most, if you wanna call it that.

Lickitung doesn’t evolve by stone bud

I'll never forget two awesome moments I had playing Gold as a little kid: one was running into suicine and capturing him on the first try, and also randomly finding Lapras without realizing it was a Friday only event. Unmeasurable amount of joy was had playing that game.

A perfect remake would have needed two more things that HG/SS didn't have, 1)is a graphics switcher between crystal and hg/ss sprites, just like mario maker has, they added it for music, they could have added it for sprites as well, and 2)sevii islands.

This game has the best boards

Awesome video. I’ve gotta say though, it’s so interesting to me to hear Let’s Go Pikachu described as “baby easy” and not a good introduction for new players. Because I’m 38 years old, and it was the first Pokémon game I ever played. I LOVED it, and it got me into the series. I’ve since played several of the older games, so I understand the criticisms, but for me, Let’s Go Pikachu was a lot of fun and was extremely intriguing. It got me hooked on the series instantly. And no, it’s not a hard game by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s not so easy that I felt like I was being handheld either. It’s just a fun, maybe slightly more casual experience. But that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

6:51 You are just a kid. Noone wants to tell you where pokemon come from.

I went to buy heart gold as I played the original as a kid but it’s crazy expensive now, so I just repurchased the original on my 3DS

i find it so, thoroughly bizarre that it's treated as this foregone conclusion that, if you want to introduce young kids to a game, you effectively make it play itself through cutscenes, tutorial and handholding. where did this notion pop up from? what reinforced it? red/blue were by far the most inscrutable pokemon games and a lot of people (myself included) first played through them when we were like, 7, because as it turns out pokemon is a conceptually simple game for an average non-competitive player playing through the game, and a lot of the learning is done through trial and error. i didn't read guides to learn type matchups because i was 7 and didn't have access to them, i just threw stuff at the wall and saw what stuck. there's no reason to think kids these days wouldn't learn an actually challenging pokemon game in the same way

Maybe it'd be a perfect remake if it didn't play slow as shit compared to the originals, and didn't railroad exploration unlike them.

Personally pikmin 2 is still my favorite, but i do like 4 semi reviving a few PK2 aspects

I am commenting #BringBackDislikes on every unique CZcams video that I watch for the rest of 2024, regardless of if I actually dislike the video or not. This is video 2098.

the rant starting at 29:00 hahahaha i feel this so much

28:59 you know rock pikmin can’t be crushed all so wings but can’t help in this fight

Helpful note: In the Final Trial instead of using reds to go through the fire geysers, get ten blues, and go to the far left of the geysers and when you're near the box just throw them and you won't have to use reds at all.

I completely fucking agree with how the fuck are all the gym leaders only using kanto… where the hell are the johto Pokémon at, it’s annoying as fuck

You’re calling them “The Ultimate Pokémon Game” as if we have access to all that extra content most of that is region locked.

2player mode less than 20

as a kid, I navigated the rock tunnel without flash. I didn't know that HM flash existed and my game was in German for some reason. because of the language barrier getting the tea and poke flute was a pain in the butt. I had to back-track every movement and talk to every NPC to find those necessary key items.

I still love Mario Party 3. Even today its my favorite one x3

15:03 The reason why i hate Mario party 2. Cause i basicly was soft locked in the minigame rollercoaster cause i NEVER was able to beat that blasted Mecha Marathon mini game

These penguins have 0 media literacy. Nice.

All of the pokemon DS games were pure PEAK. HGSS with walking pokemon. DPPt with actually tough enemies. Mystery Dungeons where you are a pokemon. BW1&2 with actual stories.

I mean you can beat the whole game with red picman only this dose not change the fact you need 8 but it nun the less is some thing you can do now the person i watched do this used 20 red picman only
