Gold and silver are precious metals? Surely Platinum should have been the name of the remix version for them.
Crystal isn't exactly superior to diamonds and pearls but at least its a gemstone (and should have been the sequel to those instead.)

I was a bit confused as well by what he was talking about but I checked wikipedia and he is right, crystal is the enchanced version of gold and silver (gen 2)
Then platinum is the enchanced version of diamond and pearl (gen 4)

That is a reference to Liquid Crystal Displays.

Pokemon Crystals: Ever wonder why Pokemon Crystal was called "Crystal" instead of a color? It's named after the crystals used in electronic transmissions, which is how Japanese Crystal connected to the internet. Why Gen 3 games are named after crystals: http://youtube.com/watch?v=5WohS2WgtSk

That's what's so annoying about it. The product is obviously shoddily put together, but what works does so extremely well and shows a significant amount of care has gone into making the games. It's a genuine case of deadlines being pushed too damn hard to the detriment of the finished product. If it was given just 6-8 more months, the games probably would of come out damn near flawless or at least technically sound enough to run as well as PL:A does.

I wouldn't say more time would have made it near flawless, but it would have been pushing 8.5-9/10 range if they were given time to polish. It's a case of too much ambition, not enough time, and unlike Sword and Shield, I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing how they continue the story in the DLC. Personally, I'm willing to bet that Geeta is hiding something.

Colour me with rainbows, but since they're clearly working on a DLC, I hope they use this time to also polish up what they have and fix the more ergegious bugs.

I, too, was skeptical of SV, and honestly none of the Pokemon I saw appealed to me much. But then all the videos, fanart and just general fuckery that's been caused by the game was too appealing, and, like a fool, I decided to get it. Honestly, I've been enjoying it far more than SwSh. It is hot garbage, but it is very fun garbage. It's quite bizarre how awful the game can actually be (slow down, lag, stuttering, the list goes on), and yet I'm playing it near constantly. Can't wait for DLC.
My only complaint? I wish it had the catching system of PLA, but mostly, I want the fucking shiny jingle to alert you of shinies back. Because now it's me having to stop every 20 steps and look at a Pokemon and try to fucking determine if it's a slightly different shade or not.

Some people say that a game is an unpolished gem.
Scarlet and Violet is a very pretty gem that is still half-buried in the wall.
There's lots of little details, specific to just one pokemon.
For example, when it starts to rain, sandygast will melt away, they'll collapse into a puddle. But if it's a shiny sandygast, he'll stay regardless of the rain.
They both thought of this neat lore idea and put the effort to make sure said lore idea didn't screw up shiny hunting.
But then things like the lighting are just so fucked...

Shiny Voltorb won’t self-destruct outside of battle as well.

I definitely got evil vibes from her. The obsession with the treasures of ruin doesn't help her case.

Playing on Scarlet makes her sound even more evil, considering how obsessed she is with history over the present when you know what’s going on in Area Zero.
But yeah, she encourages you to unseal and free the Pokémon of Ruin, and then when you come back and tell her you caught them all, she says she wanted to catch them and control them herself but them being under your(the player’s) control will do for now.
That’s not a criticism either, I actually like the idea of one of the teachers actually using you for their own purposes.

Just popping in here to say thank fuck they're finally retiring Ash from the anime series. This is what the Pokemon Company should've done a long time ago, make new protagonists specific to their regions. While I'm sure this probably won't fix or make the anime any "better," I'm glad Ash can finally rest easy knowing what he's accomplished over the show.

The next 7-Star Tera Raid event will be Fighting-type Cinderace, lasting from Dec 31–Jan 1 and returning for Jan 13–Jan 15.
Just what we all wanted, right?
There's also going to be an event for Delibird from Dec 23–25 (1–5 stars, various types).

After one of the other farmers started posting their Nuzlocke progress I figured I'd jump back in, figure out emulation on my phone, and have some fun. I've always used a custom ruleset revolving around Premier Balls and making managing your money and inventory more impactful. I've also taken the rare candy pill cause grinding is boring.
The Premier Locke
1.) Standard first encounter per route, dupes don't count, Shinies are free game
2.) Challenge doesn't start until I've acquired my first Premier Ball
3.) Not allowed to use basic bitch Pokeballs
4.) To purchase any other balls I must first buy at least 10 Pokeballs which I will subsequently sell. (I've tried tossing the excess and it was too restrictive especially in the early game)
5.) Can only use each PokeCenter once
6.) Can not grind on wild Pokemon, but any time I catch a new one or pull it out of the box for the first time I can use hacked rare candies to bring them up to the lowest level of the Pokemon in my party
7.) If any of my Pokemon are a higher level than the next gym leader's Ace they must be boxed for that battle
8.) Right before a Gym Leader I can use hacked rare candies to bring any stragglers up to their lowest leveled 'mon.
9.) A full wipe is a loss.
I've been playing Emerald and here are some things that I've noticed with this ruleset.
The battle against the rival under the bike path is fucking brutal and while I rarely wipe, I almost always lose someone at this point.
Watson has walled most of my non Mudkip runs because of his Magneton. I've looked up how the Game Corner works and with this ruleset getting Flamethrower to deal with him isn't feasible given the $80,000 cost. I need that money for soda pop and I don't want to grind at the roulette wheel for hours upon hours to get it. If it was Voltorb Flip, maybe, but not Roulette.
Norman is terrifying, but I've only fought him once so far. I think a good strategy is going to be to coddle a Dustox up till that point since it learns Protect by Level Up.

It's so funny to me how they went in with the mindset of "okay we'll release two games first, probably not the best but it's good enough for now. Then in a year's time we'll release a third game in the same Gen which contains a mix of exclusives from the first two games, a lot of QoL fixes and improvements such as better animations and whatnot. It's Ingenius!" Before realizing "Oh shit, having some exclusives in the same game defeats the purpose of producing two games, SHUT IT DOWN!" Starting with Crystal (or perhaps Yellow) and ending with Platinum (tho games like Ultra Sun and Moon definitely fit the "release the same game but kinda better" point.)Pokemon Emerald, obviously
If you think you'll want to play the whole series, start there and move forward because it's easier to gain QoL features than go backwards.
