Old games are better?!?
Okay, so I'm playing pokemon crystal right now and I just think its much better than my Pokemon Emerald or my pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Who thinks the old pokemon games are better?!!? I really think so.. besides, they did a great job with their first game.:t359: POKEMON RULES!!
|
yeah,i agree,they were cool
pokefan2007:t149: |
I think they are harder than the newer versions, but then that might just be me. :D
|
I agree definitley, its just so easy in the new games
|
Kind of weird you put an Absol icon in a topic about older games. =P
I like the older games better, personally, but the newer ones have a growth on me. Which is surprising: I thought most of the new games were going to suck when they came out. Long running series have a tendancy to go stale after a while, but Pokemon (the video games anyways, the TV show sucks) has kept it worth playing and still has good entertainment value. That said: the old games are still my personal favorites. They never get old in my opinion. |
I still like the old games but I like the newer games better. I hardly play the old games anymore
:t354:TG |
Of course there better! Because they wanted to optimize the gameplay experience not the sidequests and s***t like that.
|
Yeah, side quests are fun, but they take away from all the battling. Plus, there are almost no glitches. In the advanced generation, the side quests were okay and all, and didn't take too much away from battling. In Emerald, they added the battle frontier, which made you think of other things than the pokemon's level and had the cloning glitch which ruled.
In Diamond and Pearl, everything is so ridiculously easy. Leveling up pokemon, battling, Victory Road, etc. The legendaries are too easy to catch. There are side quests galore and Team Galacic is retarded. But that's my opinion. I love my first pokemon game, Blue. |
i love the battle frontier in emerald (havnt played d/p) but apart from that i must say the metal gen was awesome! 16 gyms! what more could you ask for although the elite 4 and red were very weak which was a dissapointment.
the colour gen was easily the hardest. gary was a solid rival unlike in the other games and he became champ so yes colour was 5 stars to :) |
The best games in my opinion was gold/silver/crystal. I like the other games too but those ones were the best.
|
i think there well better than the new ones
|
Well yea, the only thing bad about old games are the graphics.
Which reminds me about a month ago, I found my pokemon crystal in an old box, put it in my bro's GBA, and we were like HOLY ______! The graphics hurt my eyes lul. |
The new games have more bad graphics, if you compare to the release year. Especially those on GC. My first and favorite pm-game is Silver. One of the reasons I like it is the large world map. The Pokemon sprites are ugly though, they look so fat and cute. The G/R/B/Y sprites are better.
I play the new games more though, since few people have the old onces and you cannot link old with new. |
Nah the new graphics really improved, but yeh I agree at that time Crystal was like the best classic Poke game
|
At least the battle have bad graphics. SNES has better graphics. Pokemon does still not have a battle background and some animations looks like bugs in the game; for instance a Pokemon that shoots a water gun from the back of its neck.
|
I'm tired of the constant battles in Ruby/Sapphire. Do they ever stop? Black Flute does practically nothing for me!
I've just started playing Crystal (my Silver version is hosed). It's so Japanesey! It's suprizing I knew what to do back with Silver! |
yah D/P were good but they are still nothing compared to G/S/C even with the same functions as before.
|
If D/P Functions were in G/S/C now thats awesome
|
yes the graphics were crap but they where the best when they come out dont you agree :)
|
I unno. You'll always get that hint of nostaglia with the older games, which wil make them seem better since you're still under that illusion from when it first came out that it was awesome.
But yeah, I'd like to say that the older games (in particular, the GSC series), were better, but truth be told the newer games are indeed superior - they'd have to be, otherwise no one would buy them :P |
Gold Tom, do not bypass the censor. There's a reason for why certain words are censored and you should refrain from using such words on the forums altogether.
|
Can't argue with that the old one was the best. I still miss my Pokemon Crystal.
|
I think the old ones were better... i dunno why. they made me feel better while i was playing them. it's like going home to the place you grew up in. But i have to say, i really love leaf green and fire red. firstly because they are basicaly blue and red but with better graphix and easier to play, which makes me feel like i'm laying the old ones again. but on the other hand leaf green is so easy to play, maybe it's just that i've finshed it and all i do is lvl them up but lvling up is a hell of a lot easier. i meen i can get a pokemon to lvl 90 easily. it's not hard like it was before... even ruby and saph were harder to lvl up on.
i'v got like 18 pokemon on lvl 90 and another 5 on their way. I really think the originals were better, but i just cant play them anymore. the bag is hard to use, the combat is badly done etc... i dont even know why i like them... i just do! :) |

Npo, I don't think the old games where better. They where unbelieveably easy, and there wasn't much to do after you beat the Elite Four in R/B/Y. The Kanto regin in G/S/C was not even that fun. I don't even remember what happened in that regin. It was very forgetable. |
I DUNNO MAYBE THEY ARNT BETTER... BUT THEY STILL GIVE ME A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE... AND I PREFER LEAF GREEN TO THE OTHER PKMN GAMES FOR A REASON, COS IT REMINDS ME OF OLD TIMES.

I think the old games are harder. I played LeafGreen and there is a Rocket that has a very strong Pokemon in Green version. They've changed his Pokemon to weak ones and now he's easy. |
I agree with Te-em,I ALWAYS thought the old games were harder.
|
They also feel somewhat more serious. The battle music is not so speedy and "happy", it's more "serious battle"-music. I would like to hear that in the new games, but the closest is FR/LG. Whenever I play Green verison it feels like the main character is a Trainer that alone (with his Pokemon) will have to take on a lot of tough Trainers and his confident rival. In the new games the main character is surroundedby a lot of friends that encourage you and everything feels much lighter and easier. Even your rivals are friendly.
|
I say the old games because they had a better plot then the new games.
|
Since I'm into the whole competitive battling thing, the new games are better, since they have more moves and pokemon. D/P took a step back from ADV though IMO...pokemon had more charm in the older games, that's for sure. We were all new to it, so of course we all think those are the best. Ruby was my 1st PKMN game, and remains my favorite, probably because of that. We could then argue we all have biased opinions based on that...

Yes, it's the same plot in all the games, but it was new in the old ones. That's why it was better in the old games, because then the plot was new. They should have changed it in the other games released after. In G/R/B it was original, now, it's not any more.
|
sorry i meant to say it was a bit more challanging. At least in my opinion.

i prefer the newer games, only because they have better graphics, and im HUGE on good graphics

Me2UJus4Free (and you ShadowTails), you cannot refute the opinion that old school games are preferred by fans. It's like person A and B go on two rides together. Person B prefers one ride and tries to tell person A it is better. You are person B and you are wrong.
The older games are harder because there's no help menu built in game. You can't rematch trainers. You don't always know what to do. The newer games are technically superior but the old games have well designed Pokemon, storyline and are always memorable. Quote:
You're saying that if you put two pictures beside eachother - a RBY/GSC Charmander and compare it to a D/P Charmander. The D/P Charmander will look better. That is obvious. That is a technical superiority! You're comparing the graphics alone next to eachother. I don't play games only for graphics ;) Ruby/Sapphire Pokemon were pushing it for me but Diamond and Pearl is just a joke. Me2UJus4Free, you are way to hostile. Just accept that someone (fortunately) thinks different to you :) |

seriosly.I have drawn something better than that and i'm 13!They need to take time to design the pokemon like they did back in toe old games.but other than that I like the new games better.....kinda.
|
Yeh, ive noticed some of the newer pokemon were... ugly
they just looked to unreal. i rekon they went in a downward spiral after G/S/C. those were the last of the good pkmn... |
Quote:
I should not complain too much on the field graphics, but the battle graphics are the worst. |
i think they are better but not better than diamond
|
It's hard for me to think of Gold and Silver as being "old" or "classic," it doesn't seem that long ago that they came out. Maybe it's because I stopped playing Pokemon after Crystal was released and they still seem like they're the newest Pokemon games to me.
As for graphics. I love the graphics in G/S, they're pretty good for the Gameboy. Red and Blue graphics are a little worse, but they don't bother me, it's the Gameboy, I expect Gameboy graphics to look like that. Now what was really cool was putting Red/Blue or Gold/Silver in your Super Gameboy on the SNES and being able to play the game on your TV in full color, that was awesome. |
Competitive battling only existed in pokemon stadium 2 until R/S/E so no. The only good thing about the only games is that they were fun to explore because no one really used the internet for those games. D/P is great.
|
Crystal was a favorite of mine, and still is....Emerald is also a favorite of mine...Yellow was sweet...And I haven't played Diamond and Pearl...
I like them all, but I guess I like the "middle" ones the best. (GSC/RSE) |
Everyone keeps mentioning competitive battling, what does that mean? Aren't all battles competitive?

The newer games are better. They are more fun and have more side quest than the older game. You cannot deny that. Your opinion is completely bias and has no deph. Just because you have opinion does not make you right. |
I seem to get more joy out of the older games to be honest. It could quite possibly be because it brings back childhood memories and all that. Going over to friends how and link battling and trading to complete our pokedexes.
I know the graphics were far from what they are now, but the games were just all around better back then they are now for some reason. |
I really think that the old ones were much better. For one, i liked the story better and i loved how you could collect 16 badges in silver-gold-crystal. If the game had the wi-fi capabilities that diamond and pearl have today, it'd definitely be one of the best games out there....
|
While nostalgia tells me Gold/Silver/Crystal are the best, D/P improved on it in almost every way. So no the older games aren't better. R/S/E even brought the challange factor back somewhat which was lacking in G/S/C.

You should probably work on your persuasion skills. You will find that your delivery of opinion is to challenge everybody else. You only need to state your opinion. Refer to my example below: Quote:
This is a Pokemon board Not a religious debate, you are not debating laws of philosophy or anything. It was only a matter of time before someone like me pulls the carpet from your tower. I like the old Pokemon games. Please deal with it in your own way - without trying to challenge it. If you want to know why, read the posts above (I doubt you read them). Thanks for reading. PM me if you need advice. |
Ah,yes the old games.how fun they were back in the day.I dont think theres one game better then the other.just prefrence.I perfer the new game because its diffrent.not better.but diffrent

They were supposed to be N64 games, but they were released to GC instead. I don't like them. I wonder why they did no animation for attacks that miss their target (as they had in Stadium). The battles are very slow and the Pokemon has a lack of detail and texture. If they wanted it too look like a cartoon why didn't they use cellshading on all of them. It looks like they've been made in a CAD program. At least it's bad compared to other GC games, but still playable.
|
I love the classic games no doubt. My favorite games are G/S/C because of the setting. I just love Johto. And cyndaquil! Also because my first game was silver.
and, like so many others, I think Team Galactic is retarded. Plus, I think D/P could make better use of the touch screen. Sure, it's conveniant, but I think they could've been more creative. |
Yes, I also think they could have used it more. I wished that they could have made it possible to walk around using the stylus, just as in FF3. That's one of the things I was dissappointed in, and the battle graphic of course.
|
I loved Crystal. It was so awesome since I beat the pokemon league on the first try before I found out about Gameshark. I remember being a kid and playing the original Red/Blue games
|
I love oldest games! And newer games too. Silver version is my really first, I like to back play it after Diamond version. Oldest games are still great. I have Crystal, Ruby, FireRed, Emerald, and Diamond versions. I don't have other than PKMN RPGs for GameBoy and DS. PKMN RPGs only! I wish I get Red and Yellow versions with boxes and instruction manual books... T_T
Oldest games have both ways, easy and hard. |
All of them pokemon games have their strong points and weak points, but I did like the second generation games the best.

So, based on what I said above, Emerald or FireRed is my favorite game, with Crystal just a sliver behind, and Red a sliver behind that purely out of nostalgia. |
