    • @devinwilson92

      Gen 3 and 6 need more of a challenge
      Gen 4 needs to keep the battle frontier
      Gen 1 needs to find another way of level training our Pokemon since we can't fight wild Pokemon anymore which sucks due to catching mechanics and I don't think berries will simply do it

      Gen 1: Better Ghost and Bug type moves available, better Wrap and CH mechanics, and have a post game besides Mewtwo. Like Pokédex completion unlocking some events. Gen 2: Make Kanto more challenging and interesting (addressed in remakes) Gen 3: Find a way to fit all 386 Pokémon into the Hoenn region even if a metric ton are shoved in the Safari Zone. Gen 4: Colosseum and XD sequels. Slow surfing and huge gap between Gen 2 and 3 :( Gen 5: Make the 7 sages battle bosses and Hugh more interesting other than a vengeful edgy teen. Gen 6: Needs more post game. Gen 7: Useful TMs not being available until post game and also just bogging down the story in points of the game that didn’t need it as much as others.

There's probably a lot of nostalgia taking over that opinion since diamond was my first pokemon game, but even so, I love the pokemon in that region more than any other region, except with maybe gen 5 making it competitive.

    Generation 4, specifically Platinum, was also probably the peak of intentional difficulty. Rather than moves or stats being broken engine-wise, you had stuff like Cynthia's maximum-meta team with a level 62 Garchomp beating people into the ground that probably only had mid-50s pokemon, unless you specifically picked up a Piloswine and evolved to Mamoswine just to counter it.

She trades out Gastrodon for Togekiss and her Garchomp goes down four levels to 62 in platinum, likely after Game Freak realized it was already far too powerful and needed fixing.

    Their Kalos Starter
    Their Kanto Starter
    Lucario with Mega Stone from 3rd Gym Leader

      Generally when people call the game slow I don’t think they mean pacing? They mean battle speed, saving the game, etc, instead of plot speed.

    Some here are saying that Game Freak is focusing too much on their child audience these days and how children aren't the core audience anymore. I disagree. I don't think the problem is that they support a younger audience too much. I believe the actual problem is that they underestimate the younger audience too much.
    Game Freak seems to forget that children were perfectly capable of beating and enjoying Gen 1 even with all it's difficulty and broken behaviour.
    In America kids don't care as much about Pokemon anymore, but there are still many who do. In Japan the audience is still extremely large among children.
    The problem isn't the kids abilities, the popularity of Pokemon, or a shift in the ages of the core audience. The problem is Game Freaks perception of their child audience. They think they'll pull in more people by over simplifying the games. That may be true for some in the short term, but long term they will damage their core fanbase (as we've seen the beginnings of recently). People aren't attracted to Pokemon because it's easy to digest like "X amount of mobile games" out there. They play Pokemon because it's incredible to go on a journey with naught but your creatures by your side on an uphill battle to be the best and collect them all. That is the appeal, to believe it is something different is to doom the brand.
    Personally I believe the current direction of the mainline Pokemon games is primarily the doing of Junichi Masuda given his statements on the matter in recent years. I can only hope he realizes his error before it's too late.. or someone else takes a step in this ring

And to be clear I DO like challenging gyms/leagues better, but I could easily handle any of it, I am no longer 10.

      You disagreeing with half of my statement is not me contradicting myself. You're correct in saying there is no "need" for it to be challenging. Heck, if it's only about collecting Pokemon and battling then there's no "need" for the not so challenging gyms or elite four to begin with. That wasn't my point.
      The fact that you yourself, an older fan of the series, attest to enjoying more challenging gyms is proof that their inclusion would benefit the playerbase. Especially given your tastes are not rare within said playerbase.
      Yes, we are no longer ten, but those Pokemon fans that are near that age are not going to up and stop playing because the game made a return to a higher difficulty. Plus I'm not arguing it be standard, just an option for older/more experienced players.
      Also yes, kids still have friends to battle, that doesn't nullify my argument. I remember specifically growing up making semi competitive to actual competitive teams and having no one around who was half decent to play against due to my location.
      So no, what I said still stands. You can disagree, but these are my points. Do you have further thoughts on it?

    You nailed my biggest complaint with gen 4. The snow and mud just drags this game to a crawl along with the slow engine and pacing.
    Also with gen 5 I have a bigger problem with the late evolutions. Who wants to use a Mienfoo or a Pawniard until level 52?! I wouldn't mind as much if the main story had levels up until at least 70 but it doesn't.
    Gen 6 just felt incomplete. It's just felt like there was supposed to be more to the story and Kalos in general but Gamefreak had to cut it short for some reason. Xerneas and Yveltal felt shoehorned into the story at the last second and Zygarde got completely shafted. Also what ever happened to AZ's Floette? It has it's own signature move so it must've been planned to be distributed at one point.

    Not gonna lie the two features that will massively improve any future Pokémon game that game freak needs to add are a difficulty setting so you can make the game harder or easier, and I’m not talking about just having things be higher lv, I mean that the A.I. Gets smarter and more strategic battle types like double battles become more common and you have to actually put a good team together to beat the game. And the second feature is to be able to skip all tutorials. Would save so much time and pain.

    I know Gen 4 is considered super slow, but besides the fact that I love what it introduced and the designs of the Pokémon, my biggest reason for making it my favourite generation is because It's based on Hokkaido, Japan.
    It's the Japanese equivalent to Canada. It's foreign (relative to me, in Canada) but familiar (since it's so similar IRL to where I live, in Canada). Whenever I play through the game again, I always have images of Hokkaido in my mind, and all the great things that part of the country has. Applying those thoughts to the Pokémon equivalent makes the region feel so much better.

      Well here is a general list of all the stuff Gen 7 had you do:
      Intro stuff (moving in and whatnot, introduction to professor)
      Ok let me take you to this patch of grass
      Select item, select Pokeball, throw Pokeball, wait, catch. (how hard is that...?)
      Ok now let me take you to this trainer school where you can skip the next 30 lines of dialogue telling you about hm's, tm's and type advantage. Oh, btw we won't tell you which people are trainers so better click on them all and initiate the 5 lines of dialogue on each of them.
      Oh btw here is the new stuff you have to learn.
      Did you forget about the pokemon snap tutorial they had and forced you to do? It was unnecessary and should have just been a side thing you could skip...
      I have a tolerance for that stuff but even I was getting fed up at that point, and that was still halfway through the first island...I would kinda like to skip the old stuff I've known since I was 5 and get on to the new stuff just a tad quicker...Especially since it seems like every generation's introduction is getting longer and longer...
      Gen 7 has the longest intro area of every game right now, with the longest amount of time before you even get your first pokemon. Skipping the first tutorials of the first few games was not necessary because the games were not *too* deep, but with more stuff being added the tutorials get longer and longer and you start seeing the old tutorials first going through the same exact information they have gone through for nearly 20 years. The ultra versions helped fix it a bit, but it's a noticeable trend.
      I just want an "I am a veteran of pokemon" option and skipping right to the new tools and features It's not even that hard to implement, it's just a boolean check when they are about to do a tutorial and an "Oh you already know that stuff? Great! Let's move on"
      Maybe a slight quiz or something just to be sure if they are really worried about it
      That being said I enjoyed it still, I was just annoyed that it took me an hour to get through all the basic information before I could really play the game. It's like they put the manual down and forced you to read it all before playing the game. And god forbid I have the other game in addition and have to redo all of that again...

    I kinda like how alone you feel in R/G/LG/FR. I mean the whole world is literally against you, even your only “friend” - your rival - tries his best to put you down at every turn. You literally play as an 11 year old poke-nerd that uses his crazy-ass-determination, his smarts, and his love for Pokemon to take down the pokemafia (rocket). You single handedly save your rural little region from the grips of the corporate elite and their lack of humanity. Then, because you’re so pokejacked and talented you go right on and fulfil your dream of defeating the elite 4. You even help an old lonely man that spent his life loving Pokemon instead of raising a family of his own; Oak, the mentor that kickstarted your journey and so desperately wanted to complete his Pokédex as a boy, you help him fulfil his life long dream. You complete the Pokédex. You tame the untameable. You defeat the undefeated. You exorcise Marowak’s demons. You clear roads of sleeping Pokemon because nobody else dares shift a Snorlax. You liberate mount moon. You defeat a TM Thief. You lay the groundwork for Bill’s Pokemon transfer system. The whole game is about you, alone, having the power to achieve your dreams and help others, against all odds. All you need is willpower, self-belief, determination; and a little help from your friends. Only then will you find success; becoming seasoned, and comfortable. Having achieved your goal to be the very best, you pass on your beloved Pokemon - to the pal park - for the next generation to enjoy. Or, frolick about sight seeing on Alolan beaches.

      Young SootSoot I whole heartedly disagree. Gen 5 felt like Pokémon, just as all the prior gens did. It was just organized differently. It was challenging, perhaps one of the hardest games, it had well designed, original pokemon, it had a fantastic storyline, the map was beautiful despite only being half unlocked, and it was a very enjoyable, well paced journey.

      @@katsisvi8097 well there were a couple of of had fights like lenora and elisa but not enough to really stand out like usum or emerald. I'd wouldnt say any pokemon games has all around bad designs. You can tell a lotta time goes into making one singular pokemon but each gen has its stinkers too. Such as beartic being bear with ice beard or stonejourner just being stonehedge. The storyline had only a couple of interesting characters like N or Cheren but a lotta things felt off. Like binaca's dad changing his entire outlook on letting his daughter go out on a pokemon adventure because elisa said so? i would be fine if he took a little bit of caution but he took a complete 180. I thought the question of is collecting and fighting pokemon ethical or not interesting. But it was not as grey as people made it out to be. The only good people who believed pokemon battles werent ethical were like couple plamsa grunts and N. I wouldnt say the map was beautiful but i definitely wouldn't call it ugly. I agree the pacing was different then most pokemon games but from my obviously limited knowledge on BW2 i can only tell you with half certainty that the pacing went back your normal mons game.

    Gen 3: Two the same bland bad guys - "I will land/water you!" and "Oh no, what have I done. Fix pls ;-;" I still like the Hoenn most.
    Gen 4: They made it so slow, that even running is like crossing snowdrifts.
    Gen 5: THE PATH IS CLOSED. But at least they "tried" to make it look legit (better than being blocked by few Psyducks with headache; potion won't help, find aspirin, pls)

    @Mr._Sherwood Před 5 lety +3

    I feel like the Physical-Special split hurt as much as it helped. Back in Gen 2, Typhlosion was a monster, with its ridiculous Special Attack paving the way for basically 99% of its moveset. Since gen 4, a fair few of its moves, like the elusive Thunderpunch (which of course you can't buy anymore) or Flame Wheel go off of its Attack, which while still respectable isn't quite as good as it's insane Special Attack. Same goes for Ampharos but double, as it gets Thunderpunch too but it's nowhere near as good physically as it is specially.
    The split helped in many regards, don't get me wrong: for one thing it let special sweepers the world over dominate with Hyper Beams galore, but replaying HeartGold, the first main game I played, shows that time hasn't been the kindest to some of my old faves.
    Also, Gen 4's level spikes just annoys me; who decided it was a good idea to have a level gap of like 15 between the first Elite 4 member and the Champion?

    To me, worse than Kalos' incredibly low difficulty, I think it's worst feature is its abysmally hollow emptiness. At a glance, it seems like a big region, but you can explore all of it and beat the game quicker than any other entry in the series. Not to mention, there are straight up segments of the game that hinted at areas that might be playable in a potential sequel that we never got, and it feels even more that the region was released before even being properly finished. And it suffers for it by feeling really shallow, in my opinion.

    I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say that Game Freak is severely underestimating their audience. To me, Pokemon is a lot like the best seasons of SpongeBob, or the Simpsons, as in that it's something enjoyable for both children and adults alike. This is true for quite a lot of these older franchises, and Pokemon isn't an exception. Me and my father still play the Mario series despite both of us aging with it, and I'll likely be playing Mario games until the day I pass. And yet Mario games of today are still of a similar difficulty to the games of Nintendo's past, the only real difference being that they're more streamlined and fair now. So, why should Pokemon be an exception? I think Game Freak is worried about challenging people, that it might scare them off, and yet they're forgetting that the challenge is a part of what makes Pokemon so fun to begin with.

  •  Před 4 lety +4

    Well, for me gen 4's HMs make the experience pretty nice for exploration. You never know if you've already finished exploring places like Victory Road, Mt. Coronet or even Eterna Forest and the snow routes. Sure, mud was annoying as hell (especially in the Great Mash, who was the genious that put it there?) but the exploration and mystery feelings it gives rewards it completely.
    I like gen 6 as a catch'em all challenge. I feel XY with gen 7 Exp. Share and Mega Evolution being availiable until finishing the 7th Gym and maybe some tweaks to some trainers like giving them a 4th move and Lysandre having 6 Mega Evolutions because he made a machine or some thing like that would have made the whole generation one of the best ones. Lucario shouldn't have been a gift until maybe a postgame rematch with Korrina and the Kanto starter's Mega Stone could have been a reward after beating the professor in later game. Also, a small DLC to expand a bit on southern Kalos, give Zygarde a proper story, expand Dexio and Sina's roles, and bring us things like Safari Zone, Contests, and Secret Bases would have made XY probably the best of the 3DS era.
