As someone who puts his wallet in his back pocket: after a while you don't really notice it's there any more, you routinely rotate it into the next pair of pants, and why the gently caress do you live in a shithole?

Why are you blaming people for living in areas where there is crime? It's not because some people just have an instinctive masochistic urge to put themselves at risk for robbery every other day. Maybe you live in a place because you can't afford to leave. Maybe there are other things about the place where you live that make it worth staying in a place where crime rates are higher. And you are not even loving remotely immune to crime just because you don't live in "a shithole," Mr. High Horse. I had a gun stuck to the back of my head when I ran a pizza place in a really small town with a really low average crime rate.

And socioeconomic stuff aside, putting your wallet in your back pocket is a bad idea because if you sit on it, it's going to alter your spinal posture subtly in ways that can cause you back problems in the long term.

whenever I encounter a pickpocket I just use a Fairy-type attack on them since it's super effective against them

I don't want to poo poo on all the opinions that you are all so very, very obviously wrong about, but putting things in your back pocket is a dumbbad idea, roughly equivalent to not having charmander as your favorite pokemans.

On actual thread topic, the last pogeymans game I played was Diamond, and I am somewhat interested in the game again. The OP says you can jump back into the series at any point without getting lost, but what is the thread consensus for best game? (Not starters/gens/rivals/enemy teams, but game in terms of sheer funs).

Also, is there any semi-legit way to purchase and or play the games without buying yet another handheld, emulation via phone for example? I want to entertain myself on the move, but don't want to lug around another thing which I am most assuredly not putting in my back pocket because I live in a shithole.

Black and white have a good story, interesting region, and a 100% new set of Pokemon to play through before the end game. If I had to choose a point to jump back in I would pick those easy.

Black/White into Black 2/White 2 is definitely the best Pokemon experience, though you might get a bit tired of Unova after that.

HGSS and Platinum are also excellent games, but that's mainly because of how much Gen 4 mechanics improve things from Gen 3, especially the Physical/Special split.

I went Platinum -> Black 2 and it has been great so far. The villains are pretty dumb, but hey, that's Pokemon.

All the online functionality no longer working is pretty sad tho. I read up on the Dream World a couple days ago and that seemed like it was a pretty fun addition.

Black and White is the next step from Diamond and Pearl. Platinum added a few things you can read up on a wiki and if you played Gold/Silver HeartGold and SoulSilver is just a nostalgia trip. There are a few surprises with Black and White and it gets a direct sequel with Black 2 and White 2.

Otherwise I'd wait a week for Sun and Moon since X&Y/ORAS online services would be the only plus and they're getting discontinued in a month or so.

Guys, there's gonna be a new Pokémon game in just a few days. Not only that, but by all accounts, it's going to be the best game in the series so far. How is it not Nov. 18 yet?!

p.s. it's Inferape/5/Barry/Skull. TY.

I voted for Hillary Clinton like three weeks ago (mail-in ballot). I only have boring adult bullshit to keep me busy until the 18th!

If I'm being 100% honest, in my heart of hearts, I'm more interested in a full leak of SuMo than the outcome of the election, and I actually like Clinton.

If you go down this route you can even get a bundle that gets you a 2DS with a digital copy* of Sun/Moon (well, not right now, in two weeks when the game is out).

*it comes pre-installed on the SD card but you can re-download it via the shop

Man, I just can't with the VGC stuff. Looking at that chart makes me really sad that there is no variety. The last set of players almost all had the same pokemon- 4 legendaries, 1 mega (the same one in most cases) and brozong. You would think since VGC is official that they would try and make more viably competitive pokemon/movesets.

Well I guess I'll stick to making objectively bad but fun teams. its what really counts right?

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I sincerely do not understand why VGC doesn't ban all legendaries. What's the point of calling some of them restricted when Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza are broken?

Sejun Park is the only good pokemon player.
