I am reporting you to the police and demanding Mark call your father.

Go is obviously supposed to be something set apart from the main series, which has a new installment on the way.

It's dumb because it's for smart phones, not because it's for kids(it's aimed at 20-somethings).

>'think of the children' crowd

What do you think SJWs are? They are the same type of blind cult worshiping morons fundamental Christians were and are. All pawns of the Jews who blind them with a bunch of lies in order to make life a painful, disgusting and miserable experience for the free thinking white man.

>>15648312

I think they are sociopaths that want to be special in the same way a failed artist with no talent wants his 'genius' to be recognised. The only way for them to excel is to lower the bar for everyone. Its not about making things different for others, the SJW just wants to get a free meal ticket at the cost of others.

>>15648320

It's also just about feeling like they're doing something in a lot of cases. There is no big struggle for our generation, so naturally antagonistic people have to invent shit to fight against.

I honestly think most people don't have memories that stretch back more than a few years. They reach adulthood, and forget what it was actually like to be a kid.

Get a load of this kid

I never once thought Pokemon should be made easier for children. I think this game has the potential to be comfy even if it's a casualshit spinoff cashgrab, but it probably will be boring as fuck just like actual mobage. Maybe somebody will hack it to make it more like a real Pokemon game, maybe not. But I won't be giving Nintendo my money anyway, so if the game is shit, I haven't lost anything and I won't even be disappointed since I expect that from anything related to mobileshit.

was pokemon even fucking hard in the fist place?

>don't run from battles

>constantly over-leveled and have surplus of money and items\

i was like 12 when i played pokemanz first, so maybe my view on this shit is skewed and it was hard for the younger kids. not sure.

>>15648423

I pretty much just bashed my head against it until I won. Nothing's that hard when you can level grind.

>>15648423

Thats my point. It wasn't it was just a monster trainer rpg. You thought about basic shit like pp management, elemental weaknesses, currency and learning about random chance at the casino.

What should be baseline is now too much.

>>15648429

This is more disquieting than the concept of our meaningless, insignificant existence in an uncaring, uninhabited void that makes up the infinite blackness of indifferent, uncaring space.

>>15648431

>>15648430

valid points tbh.

are these even mainline pokemon games though? they look like an attempt to cash in on pokemon go and not actually create any new or innovative content while simultaneously funding an engine port for ninty's latest bing bing wahoo machine

i'm really not too mad about this. not many kids are going to have this be their first experience with pokemon.

also if the next game on the switch isn't a proper pokemon colosseum sequel i 'will be mad heh

>>15648433

I came to this realization when looking at game reviews for a game on Steam.

> Average playtime: Sometime around 30 hours

> My Playtime: 50+ hours, I did not even finish the game.

There are people who will be quick to judge anything (good or bad) even after only playing a small part of a game because they did or did not enjoy it. Imagine saying Dark Souls was the greatest game ever when you only played it for 10 hours, and never killed Taurus Demon.

And then realize there are people who do this all of the time. Game journalists do this for a living.

>>15648475

kek i was a retarded kid and didn't understand the idea of beating video games.

i thought you just fucked around in the world until you found someone that told you to do something, then did it.

i think star wars bounty hunter for ps2 was the first game i actually beat.

even as a complete fucking retard i managed to get to jasmine in gentoo just off not being a literal retard.

>>15648457

Its worse on consoles. PSN gives a percentage of people that got trophies. You would be shocked how often shit like "beat the first tutorial boss 20 minutes in" and the completion % of people that own the game and loaded it up at least once is sub 20%

>>15648422

>how to tell if someone is mad

>>15648423

Challenging if you're a kid but if you have a decently functioning brain it's fucking easy as long as you have the right matches.

>>15648422

Christianity is "How the goyim should act for the chosen": the book. It was written by kikes to destroy the Roman empire from within. The only good traditions that were kept in the middle ages came from Christianity having to accommodate to certain pagan beliefs or face bloody revolt. For example, Christmas isn't the birth of Christ, it's a direct descendant of old pagan winter solstice holidays, which were then integrated in the translated version of the addendum to the book of Yahweh (aka the new testament). Christinaity was an old prototype for communism, where the people got fucked over by a few sociopaths hellbent on exerting their power and influence everywhere it could. Communism used that base then replaced faith in a concept which represents a supernatural omnicient entity and devotion to the Church (the offspring of the temple of Jerusalem) by devotion to the state of oligarchic Jewish sociopaths and faith in the Party, concept which represents that state.

It wasn't hard, it only would have been if it was your first game

the only games in the series where diificulty is actually less than normal are gen 6 and that's only if exp share is on and/or you use the lati@s they give you in ORAS

>>15648423

you're exactly right, the only difficulty in the series (with the exception of multiplayer and battle facilities) comes from problem-solving in new situations, something younger kids aren't as good at

It was a random ID based on the stats changing on level up. I don't remember the specifics but theres a bunch of unused ID's and confused shit. Like Ryhorn was technically the first ID while bulbasaur is listed as such and missingno is something trying to be created in a random battle but getting a salad of fucked up information that doesnt match hence 'missing number'

you dweebs don't get it. it's making fun of you for playing pokemans beyond the first couple of games. you missed the pokemon craze yet still play those shit ass games. why though? there's no peer pressure like there was with "genwun." you willingly play these shit games because i guess you think they are good when they objectively are not. ultimately pokemans is a 90s kid thing and i don't like zoomers pretending they were part of the pokemon cultural phenomenon

>>15648283

It's stupid, because it's not like it was very hard to play the game back then either. I mean, i beat it several times and couldn't even understand english at the time (hence why i had a level 15 Pikachu in the starting area because i didn't know i had to do give the parcel from Prof. Oak to the shop).

Despite the ancient meme that "the sheeple are stupid" (they aren't) the real issue is they have no short or long term memory to speak of so they really don't have much of a knowledge base to work off of even if they should have a massive knowledge base.

>>15648304

That's something I've seen out of every Pokemon fantard not just /v/, they bounce back and forth between "it's for kids" or "it's not just for kids" as applicable criticisms come up.

Other than catching 'mons, what even is dumbed down in the Let's Go games?

>>15649232

There are guards in the gyms that won't let you in unless you have a pokemon with a type advantage to whatever type gym it is. Maybe they don't have it for the later ones but they had them in each of the gyms that they showed at E3.

>>15648304

>Yellow

>Hard

Nigga, its was Pokemon: Mary Sue Addition. You get all the starters and get an OP Pikachu. The only "hard" part is Brock, but it is no harder than playing with Charmander. Plus you might have access to all the pokemon in that game.

>>15648304

>RBY/GSC

>Hard

They generally weren't hard, people just didn't know how to play them. Blue was one of the easiest champions in the series.

>>15648514

$0.50 have been deposited into your account. Excellent work, nose-brother.

Ya'll thinking about this way too much

Essentially it's this

When Gen 1 first came out, it was always a competition to see the end screen so you can show off that now you've beaten the champion and got into the hall of fame and unlock the rest of the game etc.

Now with the internet and society having less and less time on leisure, you can just youtube the end scene without needing to do all the battling and grinding etc. to get there

So how do you get someone to buy the game, not play for an hour and refund it immediately?

You make it piss easy to get to those hype points.

Of course this removes the challenge and thus the value thereof however, the player has purchased the game and played through the content fully rather than picking charmander, getting screwed at Brock (lets be fair here, when you first started playing pokemon you just plowed through everything with Charizard and a fuck ton of revives) and then quitting, deleting your save and giving the game back to the store you purchased it from because you didn't like the game.

So to combat this? Give Charmander Metal Claw at level 11, make pokemon learn the elemental attacks earlier, evolve them sooner, make pokemon easier to one-shot, make it easier to overlevel etc.

>>15649310

>Plus you might have access to all the pokemon in that game.

Have you even played Yellow? There are 13 mons completely unavailable in it, including meowth so no money farming until endgame

>>15648283

>"its okay its cut down, its for kids!

What's been it cut from it?

It's part Yellow remake, part PoGo gameplay mechanics for the PoGo audience isn't it? Are kids even part of the latter group?

>>15648374

>I honestly feel like AAA games are being dumbed down on purpose to prevent this kind of thinking from blooming in lower/middle class people

You're right, and it has absolutely nothing to do with how gaming has been all but taken over by (((a few large corporations))).

>>15648423

There were some challenging side puzzles (ie, the Regi puzzle in RSE) and maybe a couple tough battles, but other than that a normal playthrough wasn't really difficult. Even the infamous Miltank wasn't that hard for me. I beat it on the 2nd try. I never knew it was a huge roadblock for people until I started posting on forums years later.

I found the side games like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon more challenging overall. I'm still not sure if the game itself is actually more difficult, or if it's just more difficult because you can't savescum the dungeons.

God I am so sick and tired of kanto, I am sick and tired of the first 151. Neither of them are special and the more focus they get, the less I pay attention to pokemon. Even sun and moon only having regional variations of just the kanto pokemon only is just, tiring if I was to describe it.

On top of that, as of late my best pokemon experiences were fangames, this shouldn't be the case. I shouldn't be more hyped about pokemon epsilon than I'll be hyped about anything gamefreak is capable of putting out.

>>15649310

>The only "hard" part is Brock, but it is no harder than playing with Charmander.

Brock's pokemon are not immune to fire, unlike electricity from the chubby rat (and no sprinkler system is going to remove that in the game). But yes, catch something that learns a fighting move, or evolve a Butterfree for Confusion, along the way, and he's still easy enough.

>>15648977

Only hard match with the Gen III rival I recall was really the second beneath cycling road. Hell, after the fourth battle in Lilycove, they kind of lose focus. Now Barry in the Sinnoh games, he could be a right nuisance the way Blue was: well balanced team with good monster lines, very competitive (if on friendlier terms), and eventually six fully evolved Pokemon.

>Wailmer

It's got decent health, but I don't remember hers ever being that bad. Especially since when it first shows up in her party, it really doesn't have any great moves by level 18. Think I usually made do with a Kirlia against it, and you can catch Electrike on the same route (which obviously won't help if she's got Marshstomp instead). After that point you should have access to better electric and grass Pokemon and moves, and they never evolve it either. Hell, the only fully evolved Pokemon by the end is their Swellow, which doesn't even show up as a Tailow in prior fights.

Any game with a Battle Frontier though does get bonus points for providing a lot of extra (if at times bullshit) postgame challenge. Shame GameFreak culled that because "next to no one used them".

>>15648304

While spin offs, but handling gameplay similarly to the main series (IE: not mystery dungeon style; I assume those are harder but haven't played them myself), the Orre games are hardest by virtue of constant double battles, bosses that utilize strategy and synergy of moves and abilities to their teams instead of generic type advantage, limited rosters to pick from (which honestly make you grow to appreciate some mons you might not have considered prior), and in the case of Colosseum, using save points instead of save anywhere.

>>15648529

>believing Oak's lies.

>>15648631

Gen II, and HGSS as well, were very good. At the same time, I was not especially fond of the level spread, resulting in it being annoying to train up a new Pokemon prior to beating the Elite Four when the highest level wild Pokemon to that point are maybe 35 Gravelers at best in Victory Road, and rematches being relegated to only certain trainers and reliant on trying to organize via phone calls (VS Seeker being the much better method). At least HGSS allowed Gym Leader rematches, but even that had the annoyance of having to track each down on a particular day, time, and place just to get their number, and then could only be called to set up a rematch on another day and particular time. Sure you could get all sixteen in the dojo at once, but the Platinum club having two or three of its eight showing up on their own every day was less hassle.

>>15648649

Aren't BlazeBlack/VoltWhite supposed to be good? To be fair though, I haven't played them.

>>15648453

>also if the next game on the switch isn't a proper pokemon colosseum sequel i will be mad

Nigger I beat Gold when I was 11 and it was less linear than Gen 1, if you think Pokemon was hard at any point you need to just take the next logical step and get lobotomized

>>15650816

>The problem with that idea is that rare candies don't account for over-leveling a single mon. With experience points that vary based on what you're encountering, levels self-regulate and make it incredibly tedious to overlevel too severely. You just need 50 or so rare candies one a single mon and then you're done. You don't need anything else. You could award an amount of rare candy directly, inversely proportional to the highest level mon in the party but then you run into problems with hoarding candies or having them hidden away somewhere.

>t. guy who tried to make a hack that did that

You could just impose a cap on pokemon levels that increases as you progress in the game, like with the Gym Badges business where pokemon beyond the certain level refuse to obey your commands until you git gud. Just make this cap a lot tighter and the problem's solved.

>>15651763

In RB, did Pokemon refuse your orders at high levels, or only if they were traded? I swear, I did the rare candy duplication bug "fairy early" (like as soon as I had surf) and got a level 100 charizard, and he never disobeyed

>>15648558

>18 FPS

It's fine, children can't even see that many frames anyway

>>15651780

Only traded pokemon disobeyed.

>>15651824

Okay that's what I thought, I'm not retarded then

>>15651830

It was to stop players from getting a level 100 pokemon from a friend at the start of the game and cake-walking the whole thing. But if they raised their own pokemon it was fine.

It would have been nice if the "refusal to obey" was based on some king of personality type and/or how often you let it faint. Say you've got a pokemon that likes to attack, if you keep giving it commands to turtle and stat-boost it will get angry and refuse to obey and lash out with an attack anyway, or if it just keeps fainting it won't trust you and won't fight properly.

But as always Pokemon is a sea of wasted potential.

>>15648283

Now I'm curious. At least tell us more, so the really dedicated of us can search for it.

>>15651307

They're better in the sense that difficulty has been risen a notch by giving gym leaders semblance of a strategy and competitive-level tactics. That being said, you're still running on the original game with minor changes, so the usual roadblocks still apply.

I still appreciate some of the changes, though. Emboar as a rather fast Fire/Ground Pokémon was a nice thing, and Grass/Dragon Contrary Serperior was fun to use.

>>15648806

>excessive fapping

Good to know. I have way too many memories that are either pointless or outright painful to me now with changes to family, living conditions, my own personality or of course game and TV series.

Only the most fundamental knowledge of right and wrong and core or endearing little details of everything I want to create matters.

Nigga I was like 7 or 8 when the first pokemon games came out and I instantly thought that it's lame shit for girls.

Realizing there are millions of adult men obsessed with this shit, not even on fetish level, sends shivers down my spine.

Fuck this world and fuck this fucking humanity.

>>15648494

From what I've seen on Steam, for any given game, only something like 75 to 80 percent of people ever play through the tutorial. Only about 50% ever make it past the first milestone (completing first area, defeating first boss, etc). For most games I've looked at I think less than 30% actually ever beat the game.

>>15652054

> At least tell us more

Pokemon Crystal Clear is a RomHack which gives you full, nearly unobstructed access to both Kanto and Johto. You can battle the gyms in any order you like, and you can re-challenge them any time you want to see what they're like at higher difficulties (they scale to your badge count). Wild Pokemon are still at the appropriate level based on area from what I've seen.

>Let's Go is dumbed down

No shit. It's not a mainline game and is deliberately designed to introduce Pokemon Go players to the main series before they release a true mainline game next year.

>>15658052

Who the fuck has never played a Pokemon game before?

>>15658032

This isn't the one anon made, is it?

>>15658060

Anyone who has never owned a Gameboy/DS, which is more than you'd think. It's hard to do a straight comparison between a true game and a free mobile game, but the average Pokemon gen runs ~20 million sales (less recently). Pokemon Go had over 20 million active users *per day* as recently as this summer. It undoubtedly blows the main series out of the water in player base (for the obvious reason that everyone owns a phone), so it's reasonable to assume that lots of Go players have never played a real Pokemon game.

>>15651708

Children need to be challenged, not coddled. Pokemon was a formative game for me and I learned a ton of new words and basic strategizing and resource management skills from it. Ocarina of Time is another one, it took me forever to finish it but it really improved my logic skills through solving all the puzzles. The truth is kids love a good challenge, it's the adults that are too lazy to want to actually put effort into playing a video game.

>If something's too hard, they won't play it

My nephew went from playing Mario Odyssey to Sunshine and he just cannot understand how to actually play the game. Yet he'll sit there and tell you literally everything about the game (because he already watched it all on youtube). I've never been much of a fan of Sunshine and Mario 64 was harder when I was a kid but as soon as there's a roadblock or something is too hard, he just wants to give up and do something else. Without trying to sound too much like "BACK IN MY DAY THINGS WERE BETTER", but it was either you play the game and work it out yourself or you just don't get any further.

We played Luigi's Mansion for the first time the other day (he'd already seen it all on Youtube) and I was a little unsure how to beat one of the ghosts and straight away he's talking about how we should look it up online so we know what to do. Not even playing the game and doesn't even know to use his brain to answer a problem. I'm not smart, not by a long shot but fuck I don't understand how he can enjoy videogames if he just gets someone else to do everything for him all the time.

Gen z being better than another generation isn't hard, as most gens from boomer to millenials have all made horrible mistakes. The bar is set so low so long ago that people forget that being above that point isn't an achievement.

I'm biased in saying this but he hogged any game that we had. But nowadays they're happy to just stare at a screen mouth agape just watching someone playing a game. What's worse, is that he's even talking quite a lot when playing a game although not directed at anyone as though he's a fucking youtuber. "Hey what's that over there, let's go check it out guys, wooooOOOOOOOOOOooooooow that was SOOOO COOL!!!".

I've gained more respect for people who are into football (at least those who are fit enough to actually play the game) because they'll organise a night where they'll go to a park and actually play some football or even join some shitty club where they pay a members fee to pay. Alright, some guy in their 60's riddled with arthritis wouldn't be able to do it but by god he fucking wants to. My nephew is fast becoming the fat fuck resting a beer on his stomach screaming at the TV at how much better he could have 360 no scoped that noob scrub. Before, I had hoped that after they were done watching these shitty youtubers or playing the fad game of the month they'd either move on to other games or just not take part in the hobby at all but to me it just seems to emulate what we already had with sport "enthusiasts" only now they're gaming "enthusiasts".

The point of OP is that if children could deal with that at the time they can also do it now. You might be right saying all of that but one day it's going to be actual depth and they are going to fuck it up.

>>15669399

>if children could deal with that at the time they can also do it now

Kids used to deal with Cholera, now they're too pussified.

>>15669430

Ohh so that's what people were talking about. Yeah, that aspect is certainly simplified. It'll consume less time to fill a Pokedex with the "Pokemon Go" system of capturing. You're still getting RNG rolls when capturing but you're not damaging your party Pokemon in the capturing process. Instead of lowering HP to make a capture "easier" you're throwing berries at the thing. It's like a kinder version of the Safari Park where you'd chuck rocks and bait at them to hopefully skew things in your favor.

>>15669455

>berries make pokemon less likely to flee

>rocks frustrate it, making it easier to catch, but more likely to flee

this system is perfectly fine and provides and actually meaningful choice in pokemon. I don't remember safaris in the later games though, so I guess it's dead.

>>15669455

is that as fun though? im sure plenty of people enjoyed having to prepare for the tons of wild pokemon theyd have to fight through through items and party typing.

I'll concede that the lower level of challenge isn't as fun.

>Please tell me what makes the children of today too braindead to play Pokemon Blue OG

You're asking why kids are dumber now than then? Where do I even start?

Education system is being severely dumbed down to accommodate third world low IQ retards displacing whites AKA "diversity". Entertainment, press and social media are pandering to lower and lower intelligence for the same reason while also promoting propaganda that deliberately misinforms to make people as dumb and unaware as possible. Substances in food, water, plastics, prescription + illegal drugs, etc. are reducing the populace to testosterone-lacking.malnourished-looking zombies rendering them more susceptible to hysteria and manipulation. Education and Businesses are enacting anti-meritocracy policies meaning skill and talent are literally being turned away in favor of melanin and vagina. TL;DR the elites ruling this world want the population as dumb and subservient as possible and are doing everything to guarantee it

>>15669623

It can take multiple generations for the propaganda to really take hold and result in the cuckoldry you witness today.

>>15669640

Does that go for the Japanese children who are also being served this schlock?

>>15669623

More like "jews didn't control the world 70 years ago but they sure do now"

Also if you're unironically defending the kikes then I recommend suicide.

>>15669644

If I understand correctly it takes 70 years to make children more retarded rather than 50 years with the boomers being far more intelligent than the any of the later generations then? Not defending the jews but blaming them when they've been around for a while doesn't explain jack shit.

>>15669670

So I'm correct in assuming that the Boomers were the most intelligent generation after WWII, correct?

>>15669682

Yes. It's proven.

>>15669714

Doesn't that study prove that genetic factors don't factor into IQ and only environment, meaning the white race isn't inherently smarter?

>>15669805

I haven't read it.

video games

>>15669805

No it proves that the IQ test isn't changing as much any more;

the main cause of the flynn effect is the IQ test changing, its not a sign that everyone was gaining IQ at such a huge rate.

>>15669844

Probably, but then you would have to prove that in the 30 of data the Norwegian army's IQ tests did change.

>>15669805

What they say is that people in the same family get dumber thanks to environmental causes but they can't confirm that between families.

>>15667723

Getting cucked out of a movepool because you wanted to have the stats to use your moves worth half a fuck is the dumbest pile of bullshit and fuck that with a rusty nail. Anything that evolves with a stone either gets an entirely different movepool or learns its attacks way slower without losing them forever.

>bunnygirl has penis, pls fix

Dude, have you SEEN all the futa Touhou doujins?

More seriously: It's a feature. It's used for breeding (though it doesn't have to be since ditto learns sketch) so you can do things like sticking a male Patchouli in a pen with a female Marisa and get a Marisa that knows Patchy's signature move, but it's mostly because I find it funny. Every female character has a small chance of benis. I'd also have to edit the tutorial fight fairly significantly since the game freezes if it can't generate a male version of pokemon 13. Theoretically I could remove it but then how would the player catch missingno?

>>15669844

if trends show that everyone is gaining IQ then the tests are doing it wrong. IQ is an statistical tool, the results measure where do you stand in the distribution curve, it's not a fucking score, it's how much you deviate from the norm either downwards or upwards.

>>15652760

More like jobbed to a TORKOAL after getting the POKéNAV in RUSTBORO because unlike BRENDAN, who has a SLUGMA at that point, MAY has a TORKOAL at that point.

I think that happens after you choose MUDKIP.

>>15670156

>What makes those levels odd? What levels would you consider normal?

They aren't that odd, but they ignore the period where the fairy would evolve normally which is like 26-30sh generally as thats when you would reach Celadon on average.

The level 40 stabs are fine really, it works well the Safari Faries.

It doesn't help that electric/fire TMs(more so fire as surge exists) are actually pretty rare it seems.

>>15670218

While I think IQ depends a lot of your genes, it should be also taken into account environmental factors like alimentation and personal ones like head trauma or mental illnesses.

>>15670269

A lot of things are based on your genes.

It's logical to think that there's a relationship between the two as depression could be changing the brain structure and/or chemistry or be a symptom of said changes.

>>15648283

Those that say that are manchildren. They are precisely the kind of freaks that you should never allow near any children, let alone dictate what children must consume.

Those that think that "muh children are dumb" were themselves the dumb children of their group, and grew to become the dumb manchildren that can't solve a problem that even a child could.

Makes sense to me. I've been bipolar since I was a teenager, probably before going off what I've been told.

When I'm down I can't even get my mind to start spinning, much less gain traction. But when I'm on an upswing I go full metal and just cannot stop.

>>15671118

Depression fucked me up pretty good too.

Ever since I went full bloomer I feel somehow smarter as well.

Too bad I was depressed all through college…

>>15671118

>>15671129

This is big. How many people do you think have depression in our society? And to think we don't even know what causes depression…

>>15671139

gut health is a major factor in depression.

One of the keys for me is to eat well. Eat fresh greens, and fresh meat I've cooked myself. If I do that, I will feel better.

The problem is when I'm on a downward spiral I just don't have the energy, and I crave calorie rich foods that make it worse.

There's the iodine copypasta that goes around, but it's pretty close to the money. We have a second brain in our gut, and it's just as important for mental health as our skull-brain.

>>15671160

I eat well most of the time tho. I have problems with sleeping and technology. Meditation helps. It also helps that I'm not bipolar like the other guy or at least not diagnosed.

I think the real solution is breaking somewhat the spiral you are talking about. As long as it takes effort for you to eat healthy and you associate it with something good you will be healthy. If not you will be depressed again so be careful.

>>15671139

It's often shit you might not expect like the other guy said.

I am still trying to find out what has so drastically changed my mood recently, but I feel really positive.

I noticed a lot of other people are feeling the same way too around me.

Even here, people seem to be more happy for apparently no reason.

There is this strange feeling in the air that everything is gonna be alright.

>>15671175

If you have problems sleeping remove the lightbulbs in your room.

It did the trick for me really quick. I don't think the computer screen is enough to fuck you.

If it's dark and you need to read something go use a flashlight.

>>15670256

Lack of electric TMs is slightly offset by Flash, at least, and Wayousei doesn't really rely too much on damage to get things done, but definitely noted.

>>15670156

Wait flash is electric?

I actually never got it, i don't even remember where flash is in fire red and i didn't exactly chase it down because i never needed a psychic move(flash tends to stay its type in other 2humon hacks despite becoming an attacking move in them)

>Wayousei doesn't really rely too much on damage to get things done, but definitely noted.

Wayousei doesn't exactly have easy access to stall based kill moves either at that point.

>>15676262

>despite becoming an attacking move in them

Is that so? I'm glad that idea caught on. Yes, it's electric. Light-based moves like Master Spark are, so shouldn't it be electric too? Besides, an easy-access electric type coverage move that most things learn felt more fun than psychic since there's just so many psychic types.

>Wayousei doesn't exactly have easy access to stall based kill moves either at that point.

Well, there's will-o-wisp, which is easy to get since the move relearner is available so early.

>>15676680

Will-o-Wisp isn't exactly a good killing tool, it would take less turns to kill with barrage even with Wayousei.

She isn't exactly weak offensively, just not particually good sorta like Ferrothorn.

Its more efficient to attack with her unlike something like chansey, pure stall doesn't match exactly well with her stat spread.

>>15676764

Noted. I'll need to adjust her stats, then.

I don't know the numbers well enough to balance from those alone, so I usually do a playthrough with new mons to get a feel for what's wrong with them. She was the very last mon added in and I didn't have the time to do any testing on her. Junko and Hecatia are in similar boats but I think they wound up overpowered. She's intended to be pure stall.

>>15676834

I was merely talking in relation to will-o-wisp as a note, toxic stall is more efficient against stuff that isn't weak to fire.

Single purpose mons tend to be sorta eh, its not like she's fast enough to be some sort of insane sweeper even if boosted.

Stuff like Blissey/Skarmory despite having the potential to be used as attackers(Skarmory more so as it actually has a good stab) rarely are.

I played gen 1 and gen 2 on a computer i had a floppy disk i would take with me to school then take it home.

I played about two hours into ruby and sapphire before i got so bored i stop'd caring. I did beat firered though. Platinum i beat. as well as making my way through volt white.

Kids of this generation are certainly the dumbest- western culture and education has ruined them. Kids screaming not to go to school, their parents coddling them when they're young instead of letting them play and interact- then being totally hands off the second they hit puberty.

Like these posts say >>15648374 >>15668870 >>15668940 >>15669609 it's also hit gaming. You'll find very few games that don't outright tell you how to solve a problem, and/or have the same solution to a problem whether it's near the beginning or the end of the game. Always shill for older games, and older media in general. Don't be silenced, let people find those gems and get more people to ask "why is the modern stuff crap?"

Back on topic, I think Lets Go is more a case of selling to mobile "gamers", but even that is a little off. A group that plays for less than 20 mins at a time as a time-killer, and not desiring complex mechanics. Now they're trying to sell this game to them. To make them buy a console with other games they probably won't play. Sure you can argue they're gonna try to "convert" them into playing mainline Pokemon games and other titles- but why? They already have their money once they bough it, so who cares if they get bored and never play it beyond 20 mins? Mobile "gamers" never write reviews or share their opinion online.

I think this game is sold specifically to fanatics. Fanatics of mobile games (playing longer than 20 mins, writes reviews and discusses games with others) and Pokemon fans (care more about the brand than the quality of the product, etc). But even then I would not have thought most Go fans would have shelled out for a Switch, and only the most hardcore Pokemon fans would not care how basic it is.

Saging because I'm double posting.

>>15649190

>>15650816

The games are fundamentally too basic. Since everything the game has access to the player should have access to as well. That's sort of true for stuff like Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, but they usually solve that problem with unique bosses, or just pouring on damage though the press turn system can make battles an afterthought, depending on the game.

IMO, the major problems are:

> Healing

You can always heal mid battle and (with enough money) out-tank your foe, or revive/patch up your Pokemon and win through attrition.

Perhaps not allowing the player to heal during battle would be best (aside from held items and moves). That leaves healing items as something to keep you trekking along your journey, so you don't just double back and heal at the PC. But, you then need to build routes so there is a risk of backtracking (tall grass- but then you have repel unless you make that more expensive). Likewise, Gyms could "lock you in" until you beat the leader or black out. Perhaps even forbid you from healing while in there to rank up the pressure even more. Rather than try to win each battle in turn, try to mitigate how much HP you lose overall.

> Stat boosts/debuffs

You can use Roar or Whirlwind to drive an opposing Pokemon out if it's buffed up, but very few trainers do this. If you buff up and survive- you win, end of. I think that's why we now get 16 trainers with 1 Pokemon rather than 3 or 4 with 3 or 4 Pokemon each. I think stat boosts/debuffs should "degrade" per turn. I.e. Swords Dance gives you +2 in attack for that and the next turn, then it goes down to +1, then back to normal. Of course, buffs/debuffs would have to be bigger to compensate for them lasting a shorter amount of time. This in turn means trainers can use them and be more interesting to fight (you've just got your def slashed in half, do you switch out?) and maybe even let them use X Items again.

> Make Protect/Dodge a 5th/6th move

Basically rework the protect/detect system. You can order the Poke to endure the hit (act as though you have much higher def/sp.def and then further reduce the damage if it's less than X% of the usual damage exponentially. If you hit really hard you break the defense and it acts as normal, but if your attack would have done less than half what it would have done, it does nothing for example) and dodge (use your speed stat to increase your evasion chance. Likewise Accuracy and Evasion buffs/debuffs would effect trying to attack something while it is dodging, not the usual attacks). Of course spamming them still reduces the chance of them working/being as effective to prevent stalling. This makes competitive more interesting since it leaves a move-slot free rather than the obligatory protect (or make the move a one-off get out of damage free card while that Poke is on the field), and you have ways to not get hurt, opening up more Pokemon to use and in different ways in a very aggressive metagame.

Other than that, basic rebalancing and adjusting how moves are distributed (if it's got good stats, limit the roles it can perform on a team. Jacks of all and masters of one) and going back to school on how to make an engaging world to explore.

And there isn't a damn reason to do any of the above because the games still sell gangbusters.

I'm pretty sure Pokemon Lets Go Into a Wood Chipper isn't meant to be a dumbed down version for new generations. It's a filler game that salvages their dying mobile game while cashing in on nostalgia in the period between main installments.

>>15648923

zeds seemed to be shoved to the side for Nintendo to pander to millenials.

Having already played Fire Red, is it still worth playing Soul Silver since I've already met and trained the badass Gen 2 Pokemon like Heracross, Scizor and Tyranitar and the Gen 2 legendaries are also in that game? I don't really care much for having Pokemon follow me around because it's just a nice addition and nothing else.
