Chit-Chat: Watch out for Ghosts...

Speaking of wondering about things in XY, what about that creepy ghost girl in Lumiose City? That was just flat out unnerving

I'm sorry, I don't have a lot to say about XY, since I haven't played them yet and I'm still trying to keep myself somewhat spoiler free. (Those spoiler tags are really appreciated, Astinus! :)) From what I've seen they're mostly graphically focused though, so that might have had some negative effect on the story part.

Okay, part two of this post is some shameless advertising, sorry for that. But hey, look! There's some super cool contest going on right now! You should all check it out!

113 Yeah they probably wanted to focus on making the graphics, as a lot of the characters (Save for Korrina and Sycamore) are kinda...dull? I liked gen 5 where you met all the leaders and stuff.

The Fifth Generation games definitely have my favorite storyline. Between Plasma, N, and how developed the rest of the characters are. Like Hades said, the Gym Leaders and rivals were pretty great in those games.

You're welcome for the spoilers! It took me forever to get through Y, and I figure that there are plenty of others who have never played those games or took their time like I did.

And you should post that thread in the What's the Buzz thread in City Hall! That'll help it get attention!

X and Y didnt take me too long since I found the storyline so intriguing unlike ORAS where it literally took me more than a month to finish since it was ehhhhhh. I think my fastest runthrough was Black and White there was so many new pokemon to learn and moves to use and the storyline was kinda like Idk suspenseful? Idk i finished that in less than 2 days and didnt wanna do anything else but play that game haha.

XY were really underwhelming stories compared to the Gen 5 games especially the first Black and White games. Even the Champion got little to no characterisation in XY.

The Gym Leaders played a reasonably large role in the Gen 5 games and Ghetsis was the most clearly evil villain in the series.

I agree with the ORAS statement that it was kinda dull. It had its moments that were cool but looking back it was kinda boring. I mainly finished it so fast because A. I love the series and immerse yself in each game the first time I play it and B I was able to use Pokemon I normally don't use thanks to the EXP Share

As for XY, I can only hope they do something to expand the plot in Sun and Moon like they did BW2 as I feel there is a lot more they could have done to make the games a lot more interesting. As some have speculated, maybe we will be able to visit Kalos and that will have its own minor plot line at the end that could tie some loose ends up?

 

[Corrin]

118 Maybe ORAS was dull because we all played gen III before? I wish they'd had the battle frontier tho

 

[FireSnow]

119

That would make sense as it was basically the same region with only some small differences, plot and the obvious graphics difference.

I think it was due to being so heavily based on Ruby & Sapphire that all the Emerald features were omitted.

 

[Corrin]

121 Yeah, but the Delta ep was nice :3

I also loved May's redesign with the bow in place of her bandanna. Didn't like Brendan's new design as much.

Well, since I first heard of Pokemon in the fourth generation, and started playing it in the fifth, I've never played the third generation; but after I beat Alpha Sapphire, I played it again, and it wasn't as interesting. Whereas X, I'm on my fourth run, and still loving it!

I loved ORAS but found it so easy. However, I missed the Battle Fronteir.

Dang, I still haven't played OR/AS, though I sadly can't say I'm that interested. :c

While X/Y's story might not have been as fleshed out as B/W's, I still reeeeeally enjoyed the actual gameplay mechanics!

At least XY didn't have those BW level spikes! I walked into a house once, and there was Cynthia, the champion. The internet warned me about this, so I tried to leave, but she used her NPC psychic powers to keep me from leaving. I started spamming the A button to try and cut through the dialogue, and accidentally accepted her challenge... Anyway, she had a level 75 Garchomp as her first Pokémon. My strongest Pokémon barely turned level 56.

omg, this is literally the PERFECT description, haha.

Back then, I remember thinking I could save the game before fighting the Champion in Kanto, but nope. He forces you to walk up to him and starts the battle immediately when you enter the room, which will probably make you regret not saving in Lance's room. :p

Boo!

Sorry gents :3

How is everyone today?

 

[FireSnow]

1.

Doing fantabulous, contemplating between playing my ongoing run in either Black or X

 

[Corrin]

2. I recently redid my white run myself, I still have to find the seven sages.
