There's a world of possibilities between "completely bespoke animations for every attack for every pokemon" and "literally just moving the model in its idle animation up and down twice for Double Kick" Personally I've always been fine with the 3DS level, final forms generally have a Physical and Special attack animation and if you check the animations in the 'dex most have 3 different things. Giving guys with unique attacks that only they can learn a special animation for that specifically doesn't seem too unreasonable, stuff like Volcanion's Steam Eruption effect being set up so it looks like it's coming out of the tubes. Not being able to go on an adventure with Shroomish or whatever if I wanted to do that sucks. I have a friend who's favourite pokemon is Poplio and afaik the Gen 1 starters are the only starters to ever show up in another game's national dex? Based on every single pokemon game that's ever been released they won't get to use Poplio in an actual game outside of Sun and Moon ever again with our current understanding of the policy. Blaziken386 posted:its good furrybait, it starred in one of the better pokemon movies, it has really good stats/typing, and it's one of the few non-legendaries to get aura-sphere, a really good special fighting type move. Lucario mechanically is a top-tier pokemon, the mega-evo even more so. it's design is pretty standard furry stuff and yeah, it got its own movie, it would be impossible to have it not be super popular. I just hate its stupid mouth and stupid head polyps. Mega-Lucario's appearance doesn't offend me like the base one for some reason. I think its the weird head things being gone?

Event Pokemon like Torchic or Greninja, despite being publicly available upon a game's release, are similarly not in the regional dexes of these regions. Heatran, who shows up wherever the hell he or she likes in the post game of at least three regions, does not have a home in a regional Pokedex.

The Golden Gael posted:The Kanto starters, the Legendary Birds, Mewtwo, Mew, Zygarde, and Meltan plus Melmetal are the only starters or legendaries which appear in a regional dex outside their own. Even Deoxys, which was ostensibly a Kanto Pokemon when first revealed, did not get appended to the Kanto dex the way Meltan and Melmetal were. Second favourite is Meloetta so now they're even more drangled than ever before.

It's probably the hardest thing in the world to get really because unlike Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Manaphy, and I think a few others...it's not replenishable in any way. There are a finite number of legitimate Meloetta in existence, if you really care about that sort of thing.

I'm forcing my way through X with a team of the absolute best because I realized I've never finished the pair more than once each. It drags a bit but I really could see this being great with the Platinum treatment.

You might have to try a couple times for the tool to actually stay with you out of the box.

I played that one too. I am literally a pokemon Grandma and I look at my peers and wonder what ever loving gently caress happened sometimes. Gen1 is fine, it's not great it's not terrible it's a first go into a new series and it's got some good ones and some stinkers in it. I genuinely can't fathom people looking at the cool poo poo we got in later Gens and snubbing it because it's not a loving Charizard.

It’s me. I’m the one stuck in Gen 1 nostalgia. I’ve played every generation since, but I’m still chasing that high I got the first time I played Red. I liked the barely there plot compared to Sun/Moon making it feel like I’m just along for the ride in someone else’s story. A lot of the Pokémon designs from Gen 1 haven’t aged well, but Raichu, the Charmander and Bulbasaur lines, Mew and Mewtwo will always be my favorites from any generation.

Gen 2 did have some good designs. My latest play through of Silver stalled at like the second gym though, and I just sent them all up to Ultra Moon. It’s been pretty fun so far playing it with a team of Gen 2 mons with their hidden abilities.

The closest I've felt to something recapturing the RBY magic was with Black. Sapphire had a similar sensation initially, but I think that's because it remained mostly fresh and divorced from Kanto. Callbacks were mostly to Johto, and the only cross-generation relatives were Johto as well. I'd take BW's less overt callbacks to hamfisted poo poo like Mewtwo at the end of a hallway. Megas and new evolutions are cool, but only if they're not to the exclusion of the other generations. This is why I'm glad Hoenn got its due with the megas, and why it sucks that so many monsters will be relegated to the dustbin again. Oh well, maybe they'll give base Mawile Huge Power to compensate.

Gen 1 is a least more interesting to play than Gen 2 since it has a bunch of weird stuff. But so many Pokemon have depressingly awful movesets and the AI is completely braindead. Also there's like 20 trainers in every route and it is a real slog sometimes. Still, for what it offered at the time, it's amazing it works as well as it does.

I had a lot more fun with Yellow than with Crystal when I replayed them before XY came out. Yellow is probably more fun overall than its remakes too, since it's just weird enough to be interesting. The remakes normalize them without actually adding modern content, turning them mediocre.

most of the weight behind gen 1 literally is just nostalgia. there's so much that it's coagulated into a solid, crystalline lump that coats everything it touches. you will never recapture any specific 'magic' there was when you first played red or blue or yellow. it was a weird experiment that ended up successful enough to have a decades-spanning run of endless sequels, a card game, and a currently long-running anime series including like 20+ movies. there is no point in this media giant that someone is going to be able to relive the actual experience they had playing gen 1 on an old gameboy color without a backlit screen that led to them now growing a specific section of their brain that holds information about like 800+ creatures now according to studies.

Blaziken386 posted:gen 1 is perfectly solid unless you deliberate look up how to break it This isn't quite true; I appeased Mama Marowak with a Poke Doll instead of the Silph Scope in my first playthrough as a little kid, and I've heard I wasn't the only one. Not to mention things like 1/256 miss chances and Ghost-type moves doing no damage to Psychic-types instead of double damage. Edit: And Surfing/fishing in statues, which as a kid I always assumed was intentional, like the statutes were supposed to be hollow and full of water for some reason.
