And crank the difficulty up a bit.

Essays about how someone played a certain way, only fought certain pokemon so certain stats would level more. They're doing it for their own egos instead of having fun.

when i got my gba it came with a pocket mons game which i enjoyed immesnely. i think it was ruby or sapphire. the best thing is naming the pocket mons inappropriately.

true that

i remember borrowing a copy of gold from my cousin and discovering all the creatively named pokemon in the pc boxes. he had poo poo like "BUSTEDNUTZ" the exeggcute and "HAIRYCUNT" the tangela in there. i was loving laughing for hours just going through the pc boxes.

yeah they should do a materia system with tms that level up and just have the pokemon add synergies and special properties without gaining experience directly.

That way you can swap pokemon whenever you want and still use good moves.

idk. most of my ideas are poo poo.

no, that would ruin the core gameplay mechanic of raising a monster from single digits to become an elite fighter and then kicking its rear end to the curb the second you find one in the wild with way superior stats.

because pokemon is a game about training children to be better consumers in a capitalist system, you see.

When boredom kicks in, the Pokémon randomizer thing is really tweakable and fun. I did a Pokemon White 2 run that was randomized with new types and movelists for each 'mon and relearning the types of formerly familiar mons as I went was interesting. I made it as far as being the E4 but it wasn't like anything life changing so I stopped there.

Or you could be a loving creepy toilet anime fucker and use the Moemon mod. And then kill yourself.

Someone at my work plays Pokemon black on her phone but she just hacks in master balls and encounters and its just flat out cheating. Shameful. Phone gamers are the worst.

I really like the 4th gen ones. The new one for the 3DS kinda blows because they only have like a fourth of all Pokemon available. There's a ton of quality of life improvements but at the same time there's a lot of lame changes as well.

Yeah, I never did finish all the levels in pokemon pinball. It's not like real pinball though, it's more like pachinko with more than one spring.

It was a pretty cool little system, especially since you could hold it in one hand and control it with the C button under your thumb as well as the motion sensor.

Don't forget to run around in circles for 30139013059 minutes to get the perfect Pokemon! If it doesn't have perfect hidden stats across the board, then it's worthless!

the only people that even give a huge poo poo about them also dont' even play the games and just use a fukkin sim program so that everything has max hidden stats and also has in it's "legal moveset" a move that only appeared once in a promotion in 3rd gen in a toys r us in new mexico at 9pm on thursday

basically if someone cares about teh hidden stats then that's not a person worth knowing

playing pokemon battles with other people would be cool, if there weren't the dumb hidden stats and also the dumb legalities with moves you can only learn in old games.

which is why i hope pokemon contests in the new game becomes the new standard of competition between pocket monsters.
