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.

CodeHelmet April 10th, 2019 2:48 PM

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.

LuminescentUmbreon April 11th, 2019 8:46 AM

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.

skyluigi2 April 11th, 2019 11:19 AM

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.

Sheep April 11th, 2019 12:32 PM

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.

Karl April 11th, 2019 1:04 PM

Pokémon Blue comes out to play from time to time. It will always have a special place in my heart.

alisaie April 11th, 2019 1:30 PM

absolutely. i love doing challenges and doing them in different generations is part of the fun!

TOKZK April 12th, 2019 7:43 PM

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).

Sydian April 15th, 2019 8:49 AM

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

Brendino April 15th, 2019 10:02 PM

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.

Percy April 15th, 2019 11:31 PM

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

fenberry April 16th, 2019 3:32 AM

I've replayed Black & White 2 a BUNCH of times. I love that gen.

Aleimon Thimble April 16th, 2019 4:22 AM

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.

bobandbill April 19th, 2019 3:53 AM

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.

_pheebee April 20th, 2019 3:56 AM

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!

BH May 1st, 2019 6:16 AM

Yeah, but only hacks, pokemom R/B/Y hacks are way better than pokemon G/C hacks, and FR hacks are kinda boring now

BillHanselman May 6th, 2019 4:46 AM

I am currently on Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and looking to move to the previous series called Pokémon Yellow.

XXPokeFanXX May 9th, 2019 6:31 AM

I do! Too bad everyone is only playing 3D/HD Pokemon games...

Gabrii May 9th, 2019 12:19 PM

I've played emerald so many times, gen 3 was when i started playing Pokemon and for me still such an amazing game

Still playing LG. Too bad I can't trade with you. I only have so many different OT names under my pokemon collection :-(
Did you get into the sevii islands yet?

Limey-chan May 10th, 2019 11:18 AM

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.

Noblejanobii May 10th, 2019 12:07 PM

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!
