It's a 7.8, that's BASICALLY a zero in gaming review terms.

The dumb reviewer doesn't like water and HMs, what a joke.

I didn't know the I in IGN stood for Illuminati.

This guy gave the new CoD a 9.1, what a loving jip.

Are they getting paid under the table?

I just can't get over this review.

I need a shrink.

I do like her two negatives being basically 'I don't like gen 3', that's cool, everyone likes different gens, but what the gently caress did you expect?

People that don't like gen3 are absolute retards and typically come to that opinion because someone else spoonfed the 'problems' to them which they then accepted without question.

A valid issue to have, Battle Frontier isn't in, but it's hinted at as a thing being built so may be dlc. That'd be dumb.

Oh word? That's gay, since battle fronteir is way better than the battle maison/battle subway and all that gay poo poo. The Pokemon World Tournaments were kinda cool though.

Some of the points like HM make sense, though. I really wish Pokemon would move away from those things as they just don't contribute positively to the game. It just takes up a party slot with an HM slave.

I like some of the mods that change all the HMs to be really good useful moves like Cut turns into a base 90 physical Grass move or Strengnth becomes Fighting etc.

But they should basically remove HMs from the game at this point, since the 'can teach over and over' has been adapted by TMs anyway so HMs are now even worse. They have been scaling back on them (Black/White and X/Y didn't require HMs at all to complete the main game, with the exception of a couple of small segments that require like surf and strength I think. On the otehr hand, gamefreak has stupidly replaced HMs with ridiculous gates that prevent you from advancing until a trigger is reached, like a bunch of literal clowns blocking your path into the Black City / White Forest in Black and White.

Pokemon needs to move to become a much more non-linear game, letting you challenge the gyms in any order, and explore most of the land and catch most of the pokemon right from the start of the game. Obviously some areas should still be sectioned off for postgame content, some pokemon shouldn't be available for capture, and there probably needs to be a smart solution to level scaling for this style of gameplay (raise the level of pokemon/trainers with each badge you get, or make it scale with your own level, or something).

Black and White were really good and seemed like they were made for people who actually play Pokemon games and are tired of poo poo like having to have HM slaves (you only need to use an HM once to actually progress iirc) and catching Pidgey and Geodude in every single game

And then they made X and Y where the starters were so unbelievably terribly designed that they just let you get Charmander right at the start anyway. A game made for people who vaguely remember pokemon from elementary school

Well, that's my pokepinion

Charmander is a human being pokemon and people who like him are faggots

If someone says their favorite pokemon is Charizard, Scizor, or any legendary pokemon, you know you're dealing with a mindless simp. Pinsir, Metagross, Heracross, Chandelure are all way cooler.

Did it ever bother anyone that later gen legendary Pokemon were beings that literally created time and space and that you subjected them to your will and didn't go mad with power destroying the fabric of reality to your whims?

It kind of ruined my immersion

That's not what bothered me about them. What bothered me was that they are hte loving ugliest most over designed legendaries that they could've possibly come up with. Zekrom and Rashirm are the two worst offenders.

It has 8 baby pokemon. Fourteen legendary pokemon, all of whom look stupid. Half of the 'new' designs are just evolutions for old designs, a lot of which are bad. Then you have the Actually New designs of which there's a much higher ratio of poo poo:good in this game than any other.

Yeah it has good designs, and other gens have bad designs, but Gen4 was the loving worst.

Of that whole list, Dewgong, Slowking, Delibird and Combee are the only ones I don't really get.

Dewgong actually isn't that bad, you're right. Slowking is epically stupid though and makes no sense and Slowbro is a trillion times better. Delibird as a santa is more dumb direct to movie crap and it feels like such an afterthought because everything about it is really bad. The design, the stats, the gimmick. Combee is loving stupid, I don't mind Vespiqueen at all, and I actually like the idea of Male Worker Bee unable to evolve, but they could've done a better job than just some honeycomb crap.

So you got the worst Starter of every generation except 4/6? I'm so sorry.

EDIT: upon studying the starters, It appears than when Grass isn't the worst starter, Fire is. Water Starters always own.

Sceptile and Torterra are pretty epic. Chesnaught is on the better side of okay. Venesaur is classic even though I don't like him as much as I used to. Meganium is gay. Serperior would be a TON cooler if he was Grass/Dragon and they ever released his loving human being hidden ability that reverses all stat changes so he could just spam Leaf Storm and Draco Meteor all day while boosting the poo poo out of his Sp Atk, while hiding behind really bulky defenses and great speed.

The starter you pick is basically like the difficulty mode you select.
Grass = easy, baby mode, needs the game to hold your hand.
Water = normal, ready to take on some challenges, aware of your shortcomings and ready to handle them.
Fire = hard mode, a man with the true gamer spirit, chomping at the drat bit for some action.

you're such a loving retard, and hte opposite is true for gen2 lol

Charmander sucks. Torchic sucks and Treecko is the best in that gen. Piplup is better than Chimchar but that's only because the Chimchar line looks like a stupid human being (it looks like you). Youre right about the other gens.
