The Count To Infinity - v11

I agree with you both on Nuzzlockes!
Also I don't like it when fangames give proper EV spreads to their bosses. It feels unfair, because it feels like the NPCs have better weapons than you, and it's too boring to do it properly for your own Pokémons.
Natures / EVs / IVs are the reason why I don't play strategic Pokémon on console (long live Showdown). Fortunately, with an Hexadecimal reader, you can modify the EV spreads of your Pokémons in the savefiles of most fangames :) Natures work differently though, then rely on the Pokémon ID and are not straightforward to change.

For me the only two features to improve to make Pokémon reasonably difficult without defeating the purpose of the games ("gotta catch them all") is to make the battle AI better.

I mentioned two features and only told one XD
The second feature I had in mind: dynamically change the levels of the trainers. Give random NPC's 5 levels less than your most powerful Pokémon, and give bosses the same level as your most powerful Pokémon.
 
239192 (did 239338 get deleted?) it is also a lot different playing against AI than playing against another human. i watched a pro nuzlocker pokemonchallenges on twitch you can almost predict everything the AI will do if you practice enough

PokemonChallenges is the one who (jokingly) calls himself the "best nutzlocker in the world", isn't he? I watched a couple of his VODs/Videos on Youtube. He seems alright but he has way too much patience for all that bs he goes through with his stupid harsh ruleset. xD
 
239345

I remember a few of his videos, and him having a dislike for Gen 2. It was interesting hearing a differing opinion since it's my favorite generation.
 
239346

What were his arguments against gen 2?
I think my favourite is Gen 4, due to the new split between physical and special moves + the underground.
 
239347

I'm guessing the hate against gen 2 is about the level curve and how the games aren't that linear... that definitely makes it harder to play challenges such as nuzlockes :))
If I had to play a nuzlocke in a game, I'd probably be happier to do so in a Gen 3 or 5 game ^-^
 
239349

If I had to play a Nuzzlocke... Well, that would mean someone has kidnapped me and forces me to do things I don't want to.

What's your favourite generation Ash? 😊
And can you share some chocolate please?
No you won't just watch :P

I've watched some of his videos when I shiny breed. For some reason I lately enjoy watching stuff like that while I'm doing mind numbing grinding xD

I've been mostly watching this thread too lately tbh xD
 
239201* i liked his video on gen 2 as well, i shared the frustration with the pokemon distribution in gen 2, you mostly encounter gen 1 mons and a lot of gen 2 mons are just hard to get or too late in the game (houndour is only available in the post game in kanto ffs 😆)
i really like the lore and artstyle in gen 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75RibBHgJHQ here is the video, i like the part when he's just going through the gen 2 dex trashing every mon 😆 but yeah i think he is mostly talking from a nuzlocke/competitive pov

Gen 2 is my favorite just because I think it has the nicest atmosphere and I love the art style.

I think it improved over Gen 1 with more cultural aspects.
 
239353

Gen 2 was my favourite due to the Pokémon following you + the two regions. Plus it felt like a proper sequel to Gen 1. Everything was improved.
But I prefered Heartgold/Soulsilver that combined Gen 2 improvements with Gen 4 improvements :)

And then Gen 3 introduced one of my main problems with Pokémon: they introduce stuff that they get rid of too easily in the next version.
Gen 2 introduced the following Pokémon + cumulative regions, Gen 3 removed them.
Gen 3 introduced the beauty contests, Gen 4 removed them.
And so on.
 
239204* yeah thats what i like Zeo, there's just a nice feeling going through that region. they did the step up to colour perfectly i love what they did with the limitations, all the sprites and animated sprites in crystal feel so lively with only using black, white (transparent) and 2 colours. e.g. Scizors crystal sprite feels much more animated than its newer 3d models 😆
HG/SS were pretty good, i like the follow behind you feature from yellow. having the battle frontier was great too. i personally never bothered with the battle tower in crystal. i think battle frontiers are a must for post-games, they are great way to get even more casual players into thinking about strategies and you dont really have to grind and get iv perfect pokemon to be able to beat the frontier brains, maybe just EV train a little. cant believe they didnt have it in ORAS

slowpokes overworld sprite is the pinnacle of art

Never really used the battle frontier and don't miss it either. Didn't even bother with the Battle Tower till much later either.
I do miss contests. I wasted so much time on those in gen 3 xD Oddly didn't spend all that much time on them in gen 6's ORAS though 🤔

Also congrats on breaching 2500 posts cooler 😊

Slowpoke is a better "totem" for me than a badass predator from the past :(

I LOVE the battle frontier. However it has the same issue than VGC: you have to fully train your Pokémons with natures, EV, IV, egg moves and HM/TMs.

The follow feature being a remake-exclusive, though. But gen 2 had its own PokeWalker. It was this semi-transparent tamagochi-like device that you could hook up to your games via infrared, iirc, and that itself was just an improvement on the original yellow Pikachu-Walker. I actually had the latter one (well, borrowed it, to be exact). Unfortunately, someone stole it, so I had to pay compensation. ^^"
That PokeWalker might have also been the reason for why we got another one with the remakes. I actually need to take a look as to where I have left mine...
 
239208* lol love the new pfp cooler 👍 grats on 2.5k
wow bet the crystal pokewalker is worth summat nowadays 😮
