  • People just tend to think along the lines of: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." People loved certain things, and are sad to see them go for newer things. Truth is, you don't have to watch/play them as each new one is released. Stick to the one that you like and stop complaining!

    I know the majority of people replying in this thread are people who find these responses funny, I sure as heck do. Pokémon is "ruined" whenever a tiny tweak takes place, and will always be the case. :P

  • - Shinies are too hard to find.

    And half the 'good' things about the old days are things that are kinda bad (e.g. he loves the fact that he can't tell what Snorlax really is based on its sprite).

    Honestly, I smell parody.
    Actually I find the amount of luck involved with stats and natures and IVs and shinnies to be highly detracting from the game's PVP playability. "LOLOLOLOL I WASTED MORE TIME GETTING THIS ADVANTAGE AND OR LOLOLOLOLOL I GOT LUCKY FIRST" I mean really! World of Warcraft PVP is less luck based.

    So, after reading the "They changed it now it SUCKS" and "Ruined FOREVER!" pages on TV Tropes (I won't link for your sakes. :D) and this beautiful page linked from there, I decided to write up a list of times that Pokémon has been "ruined...FOREVER!"

    I don't agree with any of the above, thankfully and I should point out I'm doing this to make fun of any of the people who say the above things, particularly if they keep playing the games or whatever.

    Oh god yes. Let me have your children.
    Pokémon is ruined...FOREVER!


    Everyone does this all the time and I'm like oh for peets sake NO! There have been witch trials fairer than this! I mean really why is this so terrible?! Is it magic?

    Shinies have nothing to do with competitive battling. And the rest (bar natures, but they're the least random of the bunch) have been in it since the start.

    You obviously haven't researched RBYGSC mechanics. Shinies had set IVs in GSC. Furthermore, only IVs out of what I mentioned were in RBYGSC. What you're on about I don't know.

  • Shinies still don't matter in GSC competitive battling, because it would be the same if they didn't exist. And I excluded the one thing (natures) that needn't to be.

  • You have to admit, pokemon did mess up quite alot...

    The original anime team, Brock, misty and ash were amzing :D

    251 pokemon were amazing. But that was where it needed to stop...

    Then more came... The RSE pokemon... they were ok... but over the top.

    Then pokemon plummets down and crashes. P/D/Pt were released.

    No-one, is amused.

    I am. >:3 I happen to think that the DS games were (horror of horrors) an improvement to what we got on the GBA. Regardless, they're all their own titles released in different places on the timeline. I don't follow the anime all that much.

    And that's "plummets" by the way.

  • ...Ahaha. This was amusing. <3

    It does irk me, though, that so many people are just looking for things to complain about for the new generations. And yet they keep playing the games. :D; I don't get it. Either way, I still have hopes for Gen5. I remember thinking Glameow was hideous and now it's one of my favorites, so I think people will ease into this eventually.

    Oopsie, my fault.

  • Haha. Thanks for sharing. I can't believe how much we've complained. Well, I agree with some parts but Pokemon is so not ruined... forever!
