Unofficial Pokemon thread #15 : Othor Games

I may get this eventually but I'm still not sure.

I find it funny that IGN compared Team Plasma to PETA, that means Plasma is going to be an interesting organization to face off against.

It will be, it will be.

I wonder how long it'll be before they announce the inevitable Generation III remakes.

Now now grasshopper, lets wonder how long it'll take for them to announce the inevitable third game of Generation V first.

I give them at least a year or two.

I think we had discussion about someone beating her with level 1 pokemon at the begignning of one of these threads... Yeah, you were the one that mentioned it, the second post of the thread...

I plan on waiting until the eventual 3DS lite comes out to get that, and the hopeful smash brothers game on it.

I also have both black and white pre-ordered from gamestop, hopefuly I get something cool like they have at toys r us.

Oh yeah, so I got the Shiny Suicune that GameStop was giving away, I didn't bother for the others (Suicune is the only legendary dog that is cool anyway)

I could've told you that would happen... in fact I did

. Same thing with Pokemon Gold/Silver: They were Gameboy Color enhanced games. They played on the regular Gameboy, though. Then Crystal was a full-fledged GBC game, and I'd bet that the third for B/W will likewise be 3DS only.

That said, given the price and poor battery life of the 3DS, I'll wait for a new model and price drop to come out before getting it.

Am i the only person here who liked Generation III

Maybe i have found memories, because of playing it when i got my tonsils removed.

Yes

If it wasn't for how they, IMO, hosed the berry system in Gen III, I'd actually not dislike it. But that plus dropping day/night cycles and the start of the item-held baby pokemon (which to today still makes no sense to me, only beaten by specific-move baby pokemon which makes even less sense) makes me not like it. The only good thing to come out of Gen III was double battles, and that wasn't that great.

really, though, 90% of my hate for Gen III comes from the new berry system.

You have a strange idea of fond memories :blink:

Generation 3 was the first one I can remember playing, my parents said I played Red on the Gameboy alot though...

Forgot about that, I'm normally better than this.

Gen III was my favorite generation.

Abilities were one of the best things to ever happen to Pokemon. I never minded egg moves, loved double battles, and liked the berries, though I thought the item specific baby Pokemon was kind of stupid, especially since you couldn't access Gen's I and II anymore.

I have 6 of each legendary dog.

I liked generation 3 too. Swellow is my favorite bird Pokemon, and I like Flygon a lot too. Other than that, I didn't really like any of the pokemon much though. I liked the remakes of the originals a lot.

Oh, I forgot abilities came in Gen III, that was nice.

Egg moves were introduced in Gen II, and I have no problem with those, they make sense. What doesn't make sense is "know move X to get pokemon Y", it's the only thing IMO that makes as little sense as item-specific baby pokemon.

Double battles are Ok, but never really all there IMO.

Berries are great, but berries, like egg moves, were introduced in Gen II. What Gen III did was [censored] the berry system. Pick a berry and the plant dies? Please, show me a bush in reality where picking the berry causes the plant to die. It's so incredibly stupid, and growing berry plants is incredibly annoying. I'm hoping they do away with loamy soil from here on out. Berry plants shouldn't die when I take the berry. For the added bonus for those who want to plant berries, do what they did in HG/SS and allow us to carry a berry pot. That way getting berries isn't incredibly annoying and you can grow them if you want without having to remember to check on them all the time.

I hate the berry system since Gen II if you can't tell still.

I get what you mean.

EDIT: After being reminded, all berries have been relegated to the Dream World. Also, Pokemon Rangers will give you berries after they're defeated.

Only if i didn't break my DS i would buy heartgold and soulsilver. I gave my pokemon pearl to the grandson of one of my roommates.

Nope. It is still one of my favourite generations of pokemon and was the generation to get me to start playing the games again (midway through generation 3, I fell into those people who 'grew up', as they call themselves. Then, one day when I was really bored, I found my old Pokemon Sapphire game, played it and became a fan again.)

I found this Japanese fanmade Unovan Pokerap. It's really weird but the fanart is mostly good.

Hey guys, remember that TheSpeedGamers are having a Pokemon marathon next weekend, starting on March 11th. They're going to be playing the first two generations, catching all the Pokemon of those generations. Gonna be pretty sweet. The link is in my sig.

Interesting. To be honest I'm suprised they didn't just hold back the release a couple of months so they could release it straight onto 3DS. I'll be getting Black/White on Saturday I'm hoping, the day it comes out, so you can hear about how I've managed to squeeze more hours into it than I actually knew I was awake for.

http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml. im happy that they are all new pokemon instead of integrating them but i hope that there is some sort of land that you can go to after beating the elite 4 to catch older pokemon and work on completing the national dex.

Actually there are some places you can visit within Unova after getting the National Pokemon that have older Pokemon. One place actually has a 5% chance of you finding wild Dragonite and Metagross.

On another note, I went to Gamestop earlier to secure my Celebi for the Zorua event.
