does anyone still play
 
I have been wondering about gen 3 and gen 2 but does anyone actually play the original gold/silver or ruby/emerald/sapphire fire red/leaf green I know at least one person on this forum does and that's ME (LOL) because I have got a save on the go but do you still play gen 2 and 3 or even gen 1

I think nearly everyone play's the old games :| I know for a fact there are loads of people on this forum who still play, including myself.

cool I were just wondering because the graphics were old and I didn't think that anyone would play it because you can get every pokemon from just two games lol

Graphics isn't everything. An engaging storyline is pretty important.
I won't say that the new games don't have a good storyline but I kinda liked Emerald more than I like D/P/Pt. It didn't have the features offered by the newer games but I liked Emerald's plot and the region as a whole.

Sydian January 4th, 2011 11:28 AM

I play old games more than DPPt tbh. And I love the advanced generation (not so much FRLG though!) and don't even get me started about gen I and II. :) Haha. Plenty of people still play old games, I mean, what'd ya expect on a Pokemon forum? :P

Mario The World Champion January 4th, 2011 11:53 AM

I don't even touch the Gen 1 and Gen 2 games anymore. I do play the Gen 3 games every so often. Mainly to catch Pokemon and move them into Pal Park to complete my PokeDex in Diamond and HeartGold.

Draci.Kun January 4th, 2011 12:12 PM

I still play them. It's kinda of like a little reminder that all this cool new stuff with all that eye/ear candy came from something so...well, by today's standards, simple. :3

Playing the old games is like revisiting the good ol' times again. The music, the storyline, the events, they are all memorable. I still have a piece of history myself.

MysticFlames January 4th, 2011 1:38 PM

I've recently had a playthrough of Emerald, played a bit of FR, and now that I have a Gameboy emulator on my Zune, I've been playing some Blue. XD I see no problem with going back to replay games for the fun of it. Plus, if you liked the story, it's the only way you can see it again. Sure, if you just want to battle, then you should stick to newer gens, but you can't really get the RSE story from doing so. I always like replaying RPGs to see the story again.

Morgnarok January 4th, 2011 1:53 PM

I no longer play them but have them laying around incase i want to ever play them again.

Gero50 January 4th, 2011 11:22 PM

I still play it sometimes. Though not very often. I enjoy gen 1 over gen 2 and 3 though. As for why, well it is mostly because I like the pokemon in that one more. I just always have. :)

JackGamer January 5th, 2011 6:29 AM

I occassionally replay Sapphire or Emerald, just to get that feeling of nostalgia ^^'

PlatinumDude January 5th, 2011 5:24 PM

I play Pt/HG/SS more often nowadays, but I come to Emerald sometimes to do the Battle Factory for fun.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE January 6th, 2011 10:16 AM

The older games are the ONLY ones I play lol, cause I don't have a Nintendo DS lol :)

Palkia January 6th, 2011 12:46 PM

I occasionally play Platinum and i am starting to play Heartgold seeing as I have found my pokewalker. I'm looking to get White as well.

coolmansam123 January 6th, 2011 12:59 PM

I still play Red from time to time, but only when i am bored

I agree with you, Emerald was my best, in my opinion, the best region and game. The region, Hoenn, had some neat pokemon and a plot to go with it. Th epokemon are in the middle of the GOOD and BAD to some. I play firered too, brings back old memories and nostalgia....:)

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ January 7th, 2011 10:10 AM

Mostly just Leaf Green, as far as the main series go. I can't be bothered with Hoenn. However, I'm playing through Colosseum right now and plan on playing XD after finishing up Colo.

Manaphy.10 January 7th, 2011 12:12 PM

Heck yeah. I still play Emerald, Blue, FireRed and Crystal. XD and Colleseum are very fun to play as well, but it is hard to find a time when my brothers aren't hogging the Wii.

Andrew McKenzie January 7th, 2011 3:43 PM

This forum revolved around the first three generations for years and practically still does too.

Most of us still play Gen 1, 2 AND 3 games on a daily basis, as well as playing the modern games.

blue January 7th, 2011 3:54 PM

Yeah, I still play them now and then, it's fun to play the old games, especially in preparation for Pokémon Black & Pokémon White!

King Gumball January 7th, 2011 4:06 PM

No, not anymore. With all the DS games having way better graphics and all, it is just really hard to play with the bad graphics for me :/

There I fixed your typo for ya because it's obvious you weren't checking your post. I mean really no pokemon game will ever have better battle sprites than crystal

And for the record no I don't play gold or silver and no way in hell i'll play ruby or sapphire again. I play crystal =P

TheRkyeet January 9th, 2011 8:19 AM

I repeatedly play through Emerald, I just love the storyline, it's by far the best out of any of the games. I play Silver lots because you can get a Celebi using a Sneasel and I play Yellow because I love that Bind KILLS ALL in it. It's brilliant!

Rida January 9th, 2011 8:38 AM

I play them sometimes, usually when I have some cousins in my house and when we are bored.
I like the older games more though, I just don't play them alot.
