Wait, RSG3 haven’t played a Pokémon game yet and started with SnS?
This game almost looks worse than USUM.
I haven’t played SnS yet, but I hope it isn’t that bad. Beating Ultra Moon felt like a torture. That game is absolutely horrible.
If you wanna play Pokémon, you either go straight to the GOAT Platinum or the lesser greats like Emerald and BW2.
I don’t know how someone could misspell HeartGoldSoulSilver/HGSS so many times but you pulled it off
HGSS is good, I’d even say A-Tier. (Plat is S+)
The problem is… It’s built on the flawed GSC foundation. That level curve is probably the worst in the series.
And I ain’t hearing anything about Kanto. Kanto is a joke. Nostalgia at its finest, there’s pretty much nothing to do there.
Shoutouts to Janine being the worst sandbag in the series. At least she ain’t as bad as GSC Janine tho.
Since we’re on the subject, wanna rank the games? I’m curious as for why you’d put HGSS as the GOAT over games that aren’t as flawed.
…Yea?
It’s fun. The fuck?
It’s pretty hard to make a Pokémon game “not fun” with the core Pokémon mechanics (USUM actually did it.), but you’ll see what I mean when you play one of the better ones.
Game is just a gigantic waste of potential.
Platinum literally put me to sleep.
Cause I’m a crusty old gen 1’er. Lol.
Naw. Just to me HGSS encompasses everything everyone loves about Pokémon and trimmed a lot of the fat that bogged down the originals and OG GSC. Gameplay wise I feel it’s the pinnacle of the series.
Story wise though it’s on the low end. I hate BW/BW2 from a new Pokémon selection stand point but it’s narrative, world building and character progression demolishes every other core generational game. Hands down.
If it wasn’t for SuMo than DPP would be my least favorite gen. I don’t know how good Sword and Shield are because I refuse to support that kind of greed.
RSE is fine. It always felt super clunky to me. Like moving through mud. Even the combat
You just called Platinum the goat and that was the last Pokemon I played before SnS. Platinum was boring as absolute all fuck so forgive me but I’m gonna pass on your judgment of the Pokemon game I am playing.
This is how I felt about DPP over all. It just wasn’t fun to me. It almost killed my love of Pokémon. It was an absolute unfun chore to play.
Oh man. Fahkumram is really cool. I think he brings a lot to Tekken. Bruce mains are gonna be stoked to play this guy. It’s a shame he’s going to get overshadowed by the entire Tekken community bitching about season 3.
Figures. 
Gen 4 was definitely the pinnacle of the series for me. Stealth Rock is broken as all hell and pretty much invalidated a lot of mons, but that’s pretty much the only complaint about it in terms of how competitive was.
It had a nice artstyle too, never liked the Gen 5 sprite work. Story-wise, 5 was probably the best though.
I hold HGSS in very high regard, mostly because I’ve also played the shit out of Gens 1 and 2, but I can’t ignore that level curve.
Plat for me had that perfect balance of giving you all kinds of great mons without making the game too easy because the leaders also had great mons and the level curve was just fine. Post-Game was solid too. Not the best Frontier but it was good, it had some stuff to explore and the gym leader rematches were fun.
The pros far outweigh the cons. It was a great game.
We’re the boomers of Pokémon. We’re here. We’re still here. Get use to it!
Back in my day we didn’t have anything fancy like wireless connectivity. We had to use cables. And talk to people. We didn’t have no Wonder Trade.
All we had was an Item duplication glitch and a dream of being the best!
AND CATCHING LEGENDARIES MEANT SOMETHING!
It sounds like S3 is pretty ass over all.
Word. Shoutouts to Stadium 2 and endless hours of talking shit to everyone over it. Battles and mini-games. Everyone could get it! 
And if y’all disagree, see me in Topsy-Turvy!
You just made a big mistake.
Just caught this
Uh…were you around or of age for competitive gen 2? It was nuts. Blissey/Skarmory/Weezing hazard stall was so powerful they had to ban blissey and skarmory from official Pokemon tournaments.
I don’t think the meta has gotten that ridiculously unbalanced since then.
Nah, but I’ve done some extensive research on it and know some comp Gen 2 players.
That was some fuckery too.
What about playing the roulette known as comp Gen 1?
If you played Persian and Tauros you were fine. Lol they were stupid dumb good for no fucking reason.
inb4 random freeze from Blizzard.
