Soooooo is it considered spousal abuse to be insistent that hubby starts with the original R/B/Y as his first ever Pokémon version even though I think it'd make for fun content?

Do you intend for him to go through all of the generations in order? Gen 4 might be easier to get into since it has all the main mechanics set in at that point but I have a bias for Platinum.

Is it a hacked rom version that improves the game? If not, then yes.

And this comes from someone who played green in japanese.

Also back to Scorched Silver. i defeated all the 8 gym trainers again, Claire tells me there is a new gyn leader in town

So as I go into the E4, now all battles are doubles.

There he is. The silent dude go out silent myself

My mega swampert actually killed most of everyone with the exception of a mega glalie that would oneshot him with ice moves.

So I just rockslide him until he dies but he keeps killing my remaining pokemon and using full restores.

Until Scolipede megahorn crits and kill his mega charizard. Finally ending the game.

If you are a fan of GSC, just play this game, it improves and delivers the best johto you can wish.

The best Johto didn't have those 5 fagémons on your team. I'll stick to vanilla gbc.

If I wanted to play Johto, I'd actually play a romhack of Crystal or HGSS. Future shit being added to past generations is a complete turn off for me, if I want to play in gen 3 I want to play with gen 3 mechanics and the pokemon available up to that point, same thing goes for every other generation. Adding megas and pokemon from future regions just feels like it's eroding the generations and regions sense of identity. There's not even any Johto pokemon on your team.
For a gen 1 or 2 plus I'd rather play Yellow or Crystal legacy, if I wanted to play in gen 4 I'd rather play Pure Heart and True Soul or Sacred Gold and Storm Silver.

Pokemon Go's new season is...already starting to suck (shocker, I know).

I wouldn’t say it “sucks” but it’s certainly not a good one, it’s basically more of the same.

As far as Max Raids are concerned I’m liking them to a certain extent. 1-Star raids are easy to solo with the Pokémon the first event of the MAX Out season gave you while the Psychic Spectacular’s 3-Star Beldum raids were solo-able given some preparation (TL;DR farm Charmander Max Raids, level them up, and evolve ‘em into Charizards). The lack of Gigantamax raids is understandable considering that the games didn't properly introduce them until around the Motostoke City Gym and they're only available in "purple beam" 5-Star raids (which only pop up on the field after ) in SWSH.

The next event feels like a nothingburger but it does introduce Shiny Zacian to GO (giving people a chance to transfer one to HOME if they missed out on getting it from that one obscure GameStop evet a few years ago) and there another event happening in 1-2 weeks that'll release the Galarian Bird trio's Shiny forms (save your assburgers flare-up cards for something else, it's been confirmed that, while the catch rate will still be as low as their regular forms, the Shiny Galarian Birds won't flee from an encounter) and Shiny Zacian alongside making permanent changes to the way the free daily incense works.

Honestly I thought the USUM was the last good game. Why the fuck would I want wild encounters to level with me? Why the fuck do you think you can keep the exact same format in an “open world”? Why the fuck don’t you just use lower res graphics in the over world if the fucking console can’t handle it?

WHERE IS MY GODDAMNED BATTLE TREE?!? How are people even supposed to get into the competitive scene if there is nothing to kinda show them the ropes and allow them to test teams without playing against retards?

I haven’t even finished scarlet and my competitive team has been rotting inside the poke bank for years now. I would rather play randoms with the tranny freaks that run showdown.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You have the Academy Ace Tournament and everything the Indigo Disk DLC brings to the game to do that (with a special mention going out to the DLC, that shit will test your team-building skills to certain extent since you'll have to complete The Way Home storyline to access it).

I don't think this is a controversial opinion, USUM pretty much were the last actual Pokemon games. Starting with Sword and Shield(arguably even as far back as Let's Go or Pokemon Go)

I’d consider the rot starting with LGPE. Go was nice at the time but once LGPE spawned into existence to try and bring the POGO crowd into the main line games it just got worse and worse.

I’ll never understand why they keep making this mistake, TPCi getting a DEI consultant at some point was expected.

Let't not forget how piss poor of a remake it was also. Extremely easy, not all the pokemon were in(first for the series), shitty gimmicks, stupid writing aimed at toddlers(BADDY BAD, SPLISHY SPLASH), and pretty much inferior to Fire Red and Leaf Green in every way that mattered. This thing was mocked relentlessly on /vp/ when it came out, so much so that the notorious spammer known as "yawnfag" actually gotten their start during that time, defending the game and, well, yawning at people who had genuine problems with it.
Oh, and this was supposed to be a remake of Pokemon Yellow since it came out during it's anniversary, yet I think I would have more fun with just the oldschool copy of Yellow. What a travesty.

As if tranny avatars in GO and the entirety of Scarlet/Violet weren't enough of an indication, lmao

Your logic is retarded.

So you must think fire red/leaf green, HGSS, other remakes are mistakes since they are build on another generation engine and are not the original generation with their limitations and so on. How is a gen 3 with megas and other pokémon different than HGSS with split moves? It is literally the same shit, bringing in newer mechanics because it fits the game. If you have an autorun/unlimited tms, it is often called QoL features for a reason. Even more when we see that it was possible to do in a gen 3 engine.

So you accept the official slop rather than something new and that actually improves the game. Of course there is no johto pokemon in my party, if I can experience a New pokémon rather than using the same pokémons I used over and over in other games. This gameplay was the first time I ever used a scolipede, so when I played Black for the first time, even when I knew it was good, I choose other pokémon that I never used.

And most hacks are built on gen 3 engine, so if you limit yourself to: "I dont like future additions to older games" you are going to be limited to only the official games and very bland hacks.

I mean FRLG barely add anything to their original games, literally a 1:1 remake, so I don't have a high opinion of them in the first place. Even Lets Go added Gym leader rematch fights, a fight against Green, and more story events in the game where the elite 4 and gym leaders show up earlier in the story, and replaced the generic rocket exec with Archer.
The physical special split is something that I have a complicated opinion on. The physical special split itself more straightforward, punches are phsyical now and shadow ball is special, but I also really like the pre-special split combat in gen 3 since a lot of movesets are less liner and the top end pokemon do fine in both, it only really hurts the pokemon who are/were already bad and you can buff those pokemon to be stronger while still keeping gen 3 mechanics through moveset, type, and stat changes. A prime example of this is Gengar who's a very a versatile strong pokemon partially due to the limitations placed on him with being a special attacker in a physical type whereas in future gens he feels too liner.
I do like the unlimited TMs and autorun since that's just QoL and I like QoL features, but I would never consider removing the physical special split or adding in future gen gimmicks to be QoL. I'm fine with additions that actually improve the game, but I don't consider adding future gen pokemon or adding the physical special split to a previous gen a strict improvement.
Megas, Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Tera are also just mechanics I dislike, in the past the hacks I have played with them I usually find myself losing interest whenever those future gen gimmicks are appear.

I don't agree with dismissing pokemon hacks that don't add new gen gimmicks and pokemon as being bland, I think a lot of creativity can come from working with what you have. Especially when it's a 'remake' type hack that is proposed to be somebody's first exposure to the region and generation. Look even if I dislike hacks that add in future gen shit, I'm not going to insult you over your taste in hacks, but as somebodies first experience, I'd rather recommend something more vanilla plus in style with mainly QoL improvements to the games. Which also lines up with my taste in mainly vanilla plus style rom hacks which try to improve the game as is instead of adding pokemon from a future generation.
While de-makes and entirely new games built in Gen 3 are a different issue to me, one that I'm not entirely settled on since I haven't played a lot of them. But right now I think back porting the region, pokemon into the mechanics of an older gen without the gimmick of the future gen is ideal. But as I said I haven't played a lot of those types of hacks so I'm not settled on it.
