Do you still play the older games?
Or do you only play the new games? I recently bought a copy of Pokémon Leaf Green and have been playing it occasionally in the last week. I tend to go back to Gen 3 and 4 quite often when I feel like playing a Pokémon game again, since they are my favourite Gens in the series.
|
Once in a while I will play Pokemon Yellow, Emerald, Ruby, HeartGold, and Black.
|
Yellow for life.... and not because its the only game I own...
|
Currently in the middle of a B2W2 playthrough, so yes! I think revisiting older games can be fun sometimes, especially if it's a game that you haven't played in a good long while. One of the thing on my to-do list is to replay Crystal too, but that's a long way off. :x
|
I still play older Pokemon when i had a chance, i played Black and White and i am considering play XY for 3DS Emulation, but the emulator for 3DS still in Beta Phase so i should wait for it.
|
I've recently started a new playthrough of Black, I didn't realize how much I've missed it. I also found my old Fire Red cartridge so I may give that a go sometime in the near future.
|
Yep, pretty often honestly. I still play Platinum from time to time, and I just finished playing through FRLG and BW! Not sure how likely I am to go back to anything before Gen 3, but anything after that I still play fairly regularly.
|
I do! I adore replaying older games, it never gets any less fun regardless of how many times I do it. :3c Currently replaying White 2, and still have to continue off with my monocolor run in Ruby.
|
Pokémon Blue comes out to play from time to time. It will always have a special place in my heart.
|
absolutely. i love doing challenges and doing them in different generations is part of the fun!
|
I still consistently play pokemon crystal, emerald, black, and pearl to this very day. I still bring my gameboy with me to school with my copy of crystal, and a ds lite with me to school every day, and I I find myself starting new games every week or two, because I complete them in that span of time (except emerald and crystal, because I literally NEVER get bored of those two, considering I had an old 400hr save on those two).
|
yeah, i love older games. i've actually become more fond of gen II games in recent years (i mean i already really liked them but i like them even MORE now for some reason?) and i love to replay them when i get the urge. usually just depends on what i'm feelin. like you know when you get a craving for food and you just gotta go get it like that's how it is w pokemon games for me. sometimes i just want too much water 7/10
|
I go back to HeartGold every once and a while, and at some point I'd like to go through the 5th gen games again, because I don't think I appreciated how good they were the first time around. I go back to the gen 3 games every once and a while too, but find it hard go get back into anything earlier than that.
|
definitely. i can't count the amount of times i've replayed firered and emerald. i think i also replayed platinum and the unova games more than 2 times
|
I've replayed Black & White 2 a BUNCH of times. I love that gen.
|
I may have overplayed Leaf Green a bit, but I still can't get enough of Emerald, Platinum, Black 2, and to a lesser extent Soul Silver.
|
I have. I played HGSS a bunch and probably will go back to that. Played Crystal on the VC on 3DS as well.
Think at some stage I will replay B2W2 with a grass monotype run and try out the hard mode, one way or another. |
Always.
I mean no offence to the Pokémon Games on the 3DS. But, everything beforehand, GB - DS are better in my opinion. So, I'm always going back! |
Yeah, but only hacks, pokemom R/B/Y hacks are way better than pokemon G/C hacks, and FR hacks are kinda boring now
|
I am currently on Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and looking to move to the previous series called Pokémon Yellow.
|
I do! Too bad everyone is only playing 3D/HD Pokemon games...
|
I've played emerald so many times, gen 3 was when i started playing Pokemon and for me still such an amazing game
|

Did you get into the sevii islands yet? |
Yeah, I do! Generally though, it's either a themed playthrough (Monotype/Single Pokemon) or it's some form of hack or mod of one of the 1st or 2nd Generation games. I've got a playthrough of LG going at the minute but i'm not very far into it and already i'm struggling to motivate myself to continue.
|
I play with Emulators a lot but one game I always take with me everywhere in Pokemon Conquest since there's always so much to do!
|
I wish older games were more easily accessible. I know a few of them are on the 3DS but most of my gaming time is now dedicated to Switch rather than 3DS...
|
I do play the older games! Provided I'm not too attached to my Pokemon to restart it, lol.
|
I sadly only play hackrom versions of the original games, but I sure do replay them a lot (Specially Crystal, as it's one of the few I haven't 100%'d completely)! I've loved the new editions though. I'm happy sometimes switching between generations :)
|
Yeah, actually. I've been playing Pokemon White 2 a lot lately, because I honestly don't like gen 6 & gen 7 is hard to pick up again once put down. I prefer the older Pokemon games from gen three to five, so those are the ones I usually revisit!
|
all of the time. I love the current generation games but they do tire me from time to time so I enjoy going back to some of the classics, mainly Crystal.
|
Almost exclusively. I'll always try to play through at least one game per gen but nothing from 6th or 7th gen really pull me back too often. I spend most of my time bouncing back between gens 2 and 4. I wish I could play gen 3 again but I no longer having anything that can play my GBA cartridges. I don't want to use emulators either.
One day I hope Game Freak/Nintendo create a Pokestation (they'd have to call it something else obviously) that has all of the games from gens 1-5 installed, pretty much exactly like the NES/SNES/PS-minis did with their collections. It'd be even better if they included the most popular spin-off titles like the PMD and TCG games. Not sure how trading would work though unless they were portable. I guess I just want a Switch powerful enough to run all the older games. |
3DS era killed pokemon for me. I'm hoping Sword and Shield have actual content. Or difficulty. Been getting through my backlog which includes White 1 and 2, Blue, and Silver. I can safely say I miss Unova and wish most people didn't take it for granted.
|
The only Pokémon games I currently own are Red, Gold, and Silver. Two copies of Red, one of Gold (JP), and four of Silver (two US, two JP). Mainly for shells and MBCs to make flash carts from, though.
|
Yes I do! I still play Gen 3 games and hacks a lot.
|
yellow vc and crystal vc are my favs. I really wish i had someone to battle against or trade with, but its still lots of fun to play without those.
|
i just went thru and replayed all of them yellow thru moon to re completely my living dex!!
|
Since I'm a sucker for nostalgia, I'll likely always come back and play Gen 2 every now and then. Those games just make me feel Good. And now I even have them on my 3DS. Thanks virtual shop!
|
only main series I haven't played is HGSS (and I guess DP but I've done Pt)
RBY I've started on numerous occasions but got bored grinding so there's that. Gold Ruby Fire Red Emerald B W2 Y (ew bacon birdo) Omega Ruby Sun, Moon Platinum UltraMoon LGP Planning on: HG, D, and Sw |
Considering that I haven't bought a Pokemon game since Y, I only play older Pokemon games.
I mostly play through Leaf Green and Y since I have multiple cartridges of those two games and I like staring at - I mean, leading Leaf and Serena to ultimate victory and glory. Yeah... ultimate victory and glory... that's it... (I would also play through Pearl and/or Platinum again, but I only have one copy of those games and I have an emotional attachment to my old game files on them, and can't bring myself to do a restart.) |
Yep. I still play the older games, especially HGSS, XY, and ORAS.
|
I’m playing Emerald for the first time ever. It’s been great.
|
Not for a while, but I certainly have and will do so again. Played HGSS a bunch with monotype teams and can continue some runs. I replayed Blue and then Crystal on the 3DS via VC. I want to down the track play B2W2 again but on hard mode and with a grass monotype team.
|
Oh yes, for sure! Not super often though, just every now and then I'll go back and attempt randomised runs or nuzlockes in the Gen IV and V games, and sometimes I'll even just do normal playthroughs of X/Y and OR/AS (though it's been a while).
|
I like playing older games sometimes.
|
I do, though hardware can be an issue at times. Despite the improvements and new features over the years, there’s something I still love about the first few generations (2 is my favorite, but I started with Red, and I love a lot of the gen 1 Pokémon). I regularly play gens 1 and 2 on my 3DS now, along with 7 and a bit of 6. I’ll occasionally return to 3-5, though I’ve been playing them less of late. Not to mention all of the spinoffs.
I tend to return to a lot of older games, though, not just Pokémon. I would love to continue to see releases of older titles on newer hardware to make everything more accessible. |
I would love to get the older games on Virtual Console. My oldest game at the moment is Pokémon X, because I still don't know where I stashed my old Game Boy and Japanese Pokémon Green.
When I do get them on VC, I'll for sure play them again. Pokémon never gets old, even the older ones. Especially the older ones. edit: My oldest game at the moment is actually Pearl! My friend lent me his Pearl and I have yet to play it for him. I did play Diamond and Platinum ages ago, though. |
I don't mind playing older games, but if I'm going back to an older generation I prefer trying Rom Hacks.
|
To be completely honest I play older games all the time. I always do challenge runs in them. I finished Randomized Nuzlocke in Fire Red few days ago, doing another 'locke runs in Black 2 and Omega Ruby and even more. But I tend to pick FRLF and HGSS over RBY and GSC, because they are much more fun to play. I bought Red on VC and it was hell to play.

Does soft-resetting count as 'playing'? 😄
Been trying to soft reset for a shiny Celebi for about nine months now (on and off; admittedly more off than on though). Then I plan on soft-resetting for shiny Ho-Oh, Lugia, and the legendary dogs. It's not the best of fun, but it's exciting to think that I could potentially own Hidden Ability shiny forms of the latter ones with the perfect natures. I did actually enjoy very much playing through my childhood region, and I'm excited to finish the Kanto map once my soft-reset adventure is out of the way. |
Yeah I love going back and playing the older games again, they're a lot of fun :)
|
I like to go back every now and then currently playing black and alpha sapphire plus crystal emulator on my phone
