First game always better?

[xPsychosocial]

I've never really seen any differences between the games except the obvious version exclusives. That's never really been a problem for me, my friend usually gets the other game from the pair so we just breed stuff and trade them over.

Although the third game of that generation is usually the best with the additional stuff.

well for me it dosn't matter because my sister always gets the "second game" all the way up to hg/ss where she got hg and i got ss

Spoiler:

Doesn't it seem like the game that they say first has better pokemon "Ex: Fire Red, in Fire Red Leaf Green". The "Second" game always seems to suck. I was younger when i got LG and Sapphire but I got my head out of my arse by the time I got Diamond
Seriously, lets break it down.
Exclusives and counterparts (well, some of them)
Ekans, Arbok/ FR
Sandshrew/Sandslash-LG
(Agatha's arbok is a BEAST, Sandslash is laughably weak)
Oddish Line (FR) VS Bellsprout Line (LG)
(Vileplume is a good Pokemon, so is Bellossom, but Bellsprout is ugly and weak, Oddish is actually popular and cute, Victreebell has green acne, Bellsprout and its evos shouldn't even be Pokemon)
Growlithe/Arcanine (FR) Vs. Vulpix/Ninetales
This one pisses me off a lot, arcanine is fast and powerful, Vulpix learns weak attacks, Gary and Blaine both have powerful Arcanines and I am stuck with Ninetales, come on!
Scyther/Scizor (FR) Vs. Pinsir (LG)
This is a no-decision, Scyther is faster, cooler and has an evolution, pinsir is plain fugly and looks like some kid got trapped in a costume and fell in a thorn bush, at least give that thing an evo.
--------------------------Ruby/Sapphire
Seedot Line/Lotad Line
Don't even get me started, Seedot is cute and learns a variety of attacks before evolving into a really sick looking Pokemon, shiftry. Lotad looks like a duck with some mental illness and ludicolo looks like a stoned reggae pinnaple!

Seviper/Zangoose

Zangoose looks BA, if I wanted a Snake Pokemon, I could go catch Arbok (oh thats right I can't, picked LG), they've never had a mongoose before and they throw the crappy pokemon that should evolve from ekans (branch) on Sapphire players

Groudon/Kyogre

I guess this is sort of fair because Kyogore has an advantage against groudon, but its a whale (and I can go catch teh wailmers if I wantz won) while Groudon is some devil beast destroy thing, and the biggest Pokemon in existance.

---------------------------------------------------------
Diamond/Pearl

I picked Diamond this time, suckers

Cranidos/Shieldon

Well, since I have Platinum I can say shieldon sucks, it has absolutely no offense, plus Cranidos looks 8x cooler and learns far more powerful attacks, even if its other stats are bad at least it doesn't stand there, and wtf is bastiodon's head suposed to be, a window with teeth :P

Murkrow/Misdreavus

Okay, well from fighting Fantina I know Mismagius isn't TERRIBLE, but its defintely not as BA as Honchkrow. Sure Misdreavus is cuter, but has horrible attack and defence whereas honchkrow is more balanced

Dialga/Palkia

No its not the fact that Dialga is way cooler, its just that Dialga has a steel hyper beam while palkia has some cheap dragon earth quake, special rend is it?
I just think controlling space makes it sound like a game for 5 year olds?

Is the first game always better, you decide?

Honestly, most of my views are the exact opposite of yours. That's why there are 493 Pokemon and counting.

hmm i dont know i think that its presonal prefrence really

 

[Kanto_Johto]

Just because you think a Pokemon is 'Uglier' than it's version exclusive partner, doesn't mean it's in any way worse. That's called being close minded, and your post implies that you are very much so.

 

[ANARCHit3cht]

I always got the first games, but I wanted the exclusives from the second ones. That made for a lot of looking around/searching when my brother didn't pick up a copy of the game.

Your post is silly. Buy what you want have fun. It doesnt matter.

The games are really about just having fun, not criticizing all their bad parts. Sandslash can become a powerful pokemon if used right. Arbok can be equally powerful. Shieldon is used for a more defensive approach, while cranidos is used for an offensife approach. Both games are equally good. There is no better one.

The original Pokemon games are always going to be the best games for me . I still like having Charizard and Raichu with Mewtwo . =)
