Johnny Joestar posted:i don't know if i've posted about it before, but i like gen 2 a whole lot especially due to team rocket mostly just fumbling around and doing weird bullshit to make ends meet or try and get giovanni's attention to get him to come back. it gives it a more relaxed feeling so you, the player, can just sort of focus on the ambience. I like the concept a hell of a lot better than the execution. It just means you're spending a good chunk of the late game fighting pathetic Rocket Grunts in both the Mahogany Hideout and Radio Tower and it really drags the game to a crawl. Not to mention they're pretty weak overall, only getting a slight level bump when you reach the Executives. Like Gen 2 is a really nice basic version of the Pokemon series we love, but it doesn't half make the game a snoozefest.

I honestly wish they had done sort of a fractured cell thing with the Rocket storyline. You beat Giovanni? Well now Archer, Maxie and Archie are all vying for power in their own regions, with their own goal and some form of bullshit about how they're actually working for the good of Johto/Hoenn/Wherever. So you could then escalate the stakes. Giovanni was a strong trainer, but he disregarded the past, Archer has always thought that Lugia/Ho-Oh were the true paths to power... Not that every team should've been Rockets, I just think that Giovanni's fall could've been presented as a necessary but dangerous thing, rather than a deathblow that left a limping corpse of Team Rocket.

Rhyperior is the logical endpoint of the line going from top tier to merely average design with Rhyhorn to Rhydon.

Silver2195 posted:I think it's sort of refreshing that Team Rocket just wants money and power with no real ideological justifications. (I guess some fans think they're "human supremacists," based mainly on a few lines from "The Legend of Thunder," but this isn't really reflected elsewhere in the anime; I don't remember Butch and Cassidy ranting about Meowth being subhuman or anything like that. And in the games, especially in Gen I, Pokemon are animal-like enough that Giovanni viewing them as tools comes across as general assholishness rather than a radical political stance.) Yeah but have you considered: "Team Skull"? It's the same deal with a more intriguing concept. Also I don't really take the anime into consideration concerning the games. I'd completely agree with you I think the writers don't know what they're doing there. Flopsy fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Apr 23, 2019 |

Moriatti posted:I honestly wish they had done sort of a fractured cell thing with the Rocket storyline. This would be really terrible. It'd make everything even more repetitive than it already is by making every team the literal same, ruin any interesting motivation (underwritten and stupid as it may be in Team Magma and Aqua's examples), and make the series even more reliant on Kanto when it already could do itself a lot of good by stopping shoving Kanto down our throats at any given opportunity. Also the games don't need to constantly escalate poo poo. They already do, but they don't need to, since every game is a different protagonist in a barely-connected world anyways. If anything, going a bit back may even work, the genocide plan was by far the worst of the lot and the alien invasion ended up being much more boring than the simple but extremely effective plot of an abusive, insane mother.

The games don't always escalate. Gen III was a serious localized issue that almost wiped out Hoenn, then Gen IV went all the way up to almost unmaking reality, then Gen V is a fairly localized issue again, Gen VI is worldwide genocide (which is somehow still a step down from Gen IV), and Gen VII in regular SuMo is probably the most low stakes ever since Lusamine isn't actually aiming to conquer the region and your plot is about saving her. USUM kicks it back up to a Hoenn level issue with Necrozma though.

I wouldn't say this exclusively but I tend to find games that concentrate on more region centered issues to be more interesting then the ones that go for full on worldwide effects.

was looking up psyduck on bulbapedia and found this in the trivia section:"Bulbapedia posted:Junichi Masuda has revealed that Psyduck was considered for the role of Pikachu's counterpart in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! instead of Eevee, but it was ultimately not chosen due to it being deemed too similar in color to Pikachu.

Ok but counterpoint is it would've made gen 2 better. I dont think every team should've been Rockets, but exploring their power vacuum would've been cooler if they took the rival teams concept from gen 3.
