What will you always remember about Gen 4?
 
When I got megainium to lv. 100 battling a lv. 2 pidgey!

Mega_Kris December 12th, 2015 10:19 PM

I personally remember the Starters. Very well designed. I have not seen good starters in a long time.

  • Lots of great Pokemon introduced with great variety, from cute ones to powerful ones and from new baby Pokemon to new evolutionary lines for existing ones.
  • The champion in the Sinnoh region, Cynthia, my most favorite Champion for multiple reasons mostly due to the difficulty and her team.
  • The excellent music. Some argued that it's boring but I personally enjoyed them and there's even different music based on day and night.
  • Almost everything about HG/SS.

While Gen IV isn't my most favorite, in fact it's one of the least favorite generations. But I have to be fair, the generation has brought a lot of great stuff as well! (:

The return of day/night cycle;
The introduction of move categories, which affects the whole competitive scene from that point on;
A lot of legendary (personally not a fan, though I'm aware there are those who appreciate it);
Evolutionary relatives of the old favorites;
GSC remakes;
Interesting plot and perhaps even darker (Platinum);
New moves that spiced up the competitive scene, like Leaf Storm, Aqua Jet, Flare Blitz.

- The starters
- The new evolutions
- The great story
- The battles against Cyrus and Volkner
- Barry was the best rival
- Great E4 and my 2nd favourite champion

Gen 4 is my favourite gen so far. It's also the gen I got into Pokemon.

Mark Kamill December 20th, 2015 10:28 AM

Definitely the Pokeathlon, biggest timesink in the games yet.

Hikamaru December 21st, 2015 6:16 AM

While I didn't like how slow 4th Gen played, it does still hold its memories. Here's what I enjoyed most about the games, particularly Sinnoh.

The starters and other new Pokemon, the environments in Sinnoh, a lot of really dark battles, the Gym Leaders being quite a challenge, and also my fave (at-the-time) female protagonist aka Dawn.

When I think of Generation 4, I think of Barry being too hyper active and running into me ALL the time.

Saragraph December 21st, 2015 3:55 PM

- Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I really liked Barry. He's still my favorite rival/friend.
- The story which is still the best in a main series pokémon game so far in my opinion.
- Cynthia. Maybe it was because I was young and didn't know how to play the game that well, but Cynthia was the most challenging champion for me so far. And I like a challenge. Plus, her design is great.
- I really liked the legendaries.
- The new evolutions. While Pearl was my first pokémon game so I didn't really know what was new, I really appreciated them after learning about them.
- Empoleon will always hold a special place in my heart.

So, Sinnoh remakes when?

Thepowaofhax December 21st, 2015 4:01 PM

All I remember is that Team Galactic is comprised of a bunch of psychopaths, that Drifloon is dank m3m3z and that my first shiny was a Bidoof.

Kaiyu December 22nd, 2015 7:16 PM

The storyline was rather good. It would be interesting if there was a remake of the fourth generation games. Capturing the legendary Pokémon is another thing I'll remember. Even though it gave me a headache and almost make me rage quit (lol) I felt really relieved and happy.

How your Pokemon was able to follow you in HG/SS. I thought that was cool when I was a kid. Red was a monster to beat at the end of the game. :c

curiousnathan December 24th, 2015 1:57 AM

  • Cynthia (my favourite and probably the best Champion)
  • The diverse landscape of Sinnoh
  • The Gym Leaders & Elite Four were a challenge and were quite well designed
  • The evil team was pretty interesting unlike Plasma and Flare
  • The Story was of a good length
  • The graphics were quite nice as well, especially for being the first major Pokemon games for the DS

Fen-Fen December 24th, 2015 12:48 PM

-Cynthia
-My noob mistakes like wasting a Master Ball on a Golduck
-That damned Clefable in the two player battle tower (I was playing with my cousin) which would not stop using Minimize. No, we didn't have Swift or Aerial Ace.
-My cousin beating my Empoleon with another Empoleon by using Earthquake
-Meeting Giratina for the first time
-All the global Poekon I got (I think I even got like 1 from Jordan and one from Turkmenistan or something like that)
-Being able to walk with Pokemon in HG/SS
-The Battle Frontier
-Beating Red on Mt. Silver

Guardian December 26th, 2015 7:18 AM

Most of all, I'll remember the atmosphere. Gen 1 was an adventure, Gen 2 was, a mystery of sort, Gen 3 was hyper, and Gen 4 was exactly what I needed after first 3 generations, something really chill and zen, that just keeps you relaxed even at the most tense moments of the gameplay.

HollyYoshi December 26th, 2015 7:55 AM

Everything about HG/SS. From having your Pokemon be able to follow you to the Pokeathalon, the Gen 2 remakes were a joy to play and are still my favorite Pokemon games to this day.

正真正銘 December 27th, 2015 9:12 PM

I'll always remember the music of this generation (the Team Galatic themes, the music played at the lakes, Cynthia theme and piano prelude, Old Chateau, the Frontier Brain theme, etc.) as well as the Pokemon (evoultions for older Pokemon, Chatot, Lucario, Garchomp, the starters, the legendaries).

Caliber70 December 29th, 2015 12:08 PM

The Soundtrack

EliteC December 31st, 2015 9:19 AM

I loved the new evolutions of older generation pokémon aswell as the starters. Torterra is still to this day my favourite Pokémon

Aether★ January 1st, 2016 1:24 PM

Sinnoh as a whole region, new eeveelutions and Poketch.

Mecha-Scrafty January 21st, 2016 5:46 PM

You know what i will ALWAYS remember? That ingame trade in the snowy town. I had never feel so betrayed in my life. I was like: "MY GOD I WILL HAVE GENGAR!" Guess what? NOPE! Thats how you get the everstone. THE EVERSTONE. *cries internally*

INDIAN MEW(ARAZI) January 22nd, 2016 5:42 AM

not getting a 3ds

Ammako January 22nd, 2016 7:31 AM

The way I figured out how to train Pokémon relatively quickly on the Battle Island.
I had a spot for every type of Pokémon, I tell you. Even if it was just defeating wild Pokémon, would still be able to get to 100 within a day or two.

I remember the time I first got to use the GTS, and I eventually got several event Pokémon. Mostly Gen. III ones. I had never been able to get any event Pokémon in Gen. III and never could have gotten any in Gen. IV until I got WFC access. It was awesome.

And at some point, I heard about the Milotic event that Japan had, back in December 2007. Someone on another forum at the time talked about how Japan had that event now, and it doesn't have an event ribbon, so I was able to get one on the GTS. I was so happy! I started training it right away and got it from 60-something to 100 in an evening.

MagmaFlash January 22nd, 2016 10:03 AM

I sold most of my Gen 4 games, which I now regret. I only have my Platinum which freezes up 95% percent of the time.

So here are my most memorable moments which I hope I can relive again someday if I find a legitimate copy of a Gen 4 game.
-Strutting with my Suicune in HG because I just caught her with a regular pokeball with no cheats!
-Getting my butt kicked by Red when I accidentally talked to him...
-The distortion world in Platinum, Giratina's creepy-awesome grand appearance, the ---Battle Frontier
-Overusing my Action Replay to the point where the whole game was so easy that it wasn't very fun anymore...

Hiro Aku January 22nd, 2016 1:00 PM

Mostly the Distortion world. It was a thing of beauty.
