Just to point out, I'm trying not to argue with opinions here.
First of all, that happened towards the very end of the Advanced generation. Second of all, this was only in the dub. Lastly, this is not even Hoenn's fault. 4Kid's contract to dub the anime had expired, and PUSA took over once the Battle Frontier started. The old voice actors were bounded to 4Kids by contract. What if the contract was shorter and expired during Johto, would that make it suck?What made it worse? Getting rid of the original voice actors and replacing them with cr@p is a good start.
The difference is that DPP retained most of the daytime Pokemon at night. You see different Pokemon in every location at night too. GSC had absolutely no variety. The person who thought of throwing the same Pokemon everywhere really should have thought twice.I dont see hows that different then DP. You also had the first pokemon that had to evoleve at night (umbreon). There were pokemon like gastly, haunter, Murkrow ,and hondour that could only be caught at night. The day/night system was used as good as it could of been on a gameboy color. It wasnt going to get better then that.
Actually, I was 5 when GS came out, and I could read. >:I It's not like the second gen only lasted a year either. I was almost 9 when RSE came out. GSC could have been better, I admit that we only know that now. The only thing we had to look back upon during Gen 2 was RBY, so of course it seemed perfect (Don't get me wrong, I love these games!). Anyways, now we know that so many things could have been handled better.I don't mean to be offensive. Well...I don't want to bring age into this but you are 14 now. when these games and gen 2 were released 10 years ago you were 4, I was 10. While I was trading pkm across a link cable and finding ways to get celebi and mew, you were learning how to go to the bathroom on your own. haha jk. Its easy to play these games now and say they aren't perfect but at the time that was hand held gaming at its best.
You do realize that there is a whole generation of 1-3 year-olds that have yet to indulge in "the wonderful" world of Pokemon, right? GF knows this, which is why they decide to recycle their target audience rather than try too hard to keep older fans. You and I have lived and played through all the generations (Which most people haven't done), and GF has certainly tried to keep us tuned in, but it's a fact that they are more focused on both the younger and newer members of the franchise.I mean, Pokemon is the second-best selling video game franchise and one of the best selling multimedia franchises on the planet, it's not going to end soon. Basically, there will always be a new generation for for GF to market too, so they really don't have to change anything (Even though it would be nice!) to make millions.I Agree but to keep to games interesting you dont need to just add new pkm. why not change it up a bit like trying a new battle system, or how bout something else instead of the " get 8 gym badges and defeat the elite four" recipe thats been used in every game. If they continue with same reused material i don't really see it lasting much longer.
Define "useless", because these two are certainly not useless on the battlefield.So a bush thing called shaymin and a neopet called jirachi isn't useless?
I agree with matmann on this.I was saying how people use that as a reason to bash the first two gens. I have never said the graphics suck. Can you find where I said that? I said the games just all around stunk. There was a lot of hype around them being the first pkm gba games and it failed to live up to it. Where RBY came out of nowhere with no hype. When GS came people were expecting another good game and it delivered.
What are you talking about? It's the most inspired and interesting of the four! The Hoenn region boasted so many dramatic environments like rainforests and deserts. There was a deep vast ocean for exploring filled with chains of islands. It had mountainous areas, a forest covered in soot, an abandoned ship and even a city in a volcano! There was a town of tree houses for heaven's sake! All Kanto and Johto had were, correct me if I'm wrong, plains, rivers, a lake, and caves.Hoen wasn't a decent region. It was a very bland, uninspired region, with nothing really memorable. If Kanto and Johto were bad regions then i guess they wouldnt have remade RB and GS. It must be good if people want to replay them.
But GSC didn't even have a lot to live up to, It could have sucked and still sold well, making your statement null and void. D:No your saying that because you weren't old enough to enjoy it and appreciate when it was made. If it wasn't for those Gens being so successful the "great" RSE and this site probably would have never existed and pikachu would be in cartoon hell.
