(this "style" screenshot is from a remake, by the way, of Pokémon Brown: the first game in the series that had nothing to do with these devs. It was entirely Koolboy's work, but the Prism team "revamped" it with new trainers and locations and graphics and such. It does look like a genuine improvement, but...)
The "A/B Style" shit is somehow even gayer than asking the player if they're a boy or a girl.
 
Always was honestly. Ever since Gen 3.
Why Gen 3? Anyway, at least up to Gen 6, I don't think it's lacking the "full game experience" to just play one version. Although I think the core vidya should've been like the first Mystery Dungeon vidya, where "version exclusive" 'mons could be obtained via passwords. Passwords that could then be spread all over the internet when it got big.
 
Why Gen 3?
Because getting all Pokemon required 3 Games, a Game Cube, 2 more games and the cables to make all the Trading work.

Even on release that was stupidly expensive.

Just to do Hoenn sure was the normal price but the Mania had died down so you couldn’t be sure someone would have the other version anymore.

It’s one reason why I like the Legends game so much. I like having Solo games where you can get everything and honestly think that is how they should do all ‘remakes’ or ‘region revisits’.

If it’s going to take about 10 years to go back to a Region the last thing anyone really wants honesty is needing at least two games again.

I wonder how many shoddily-drawn troon comics where some normal-looking boy is playing Pokemon and gets asked The Big Question and has his tranny awakening right there, on the spot.

"I...can choose?"
 
I agree that the style shit is trooncore, but has anyone here actually played the Rijon series and had opinions on it? :sighduck:

That's assuming the people (children) playing these games actually cared about catching them all post-Gen II and didn't just want to play a fun game with cute animals.

If you actually cared about having all Pokemon in a single game Gen 3 and 4 were actually the best for you because PMD offered that.

We are obviously talking about getting them all.

Because if you it does not matter that the newer games in total cost $140, at minimum. The children will just get the one.

Gen 3 games at least were worth the price, still some of the best games to this day. You don't need all of them mind you, just Emerald and one of FRLG then both the GC will give you pretty much everything. You forgot Pokemon Box BTW, which is Pokemon Bank before Pokemon Bank, it's a Gamecube disc that let you import your GBA game data so you could hold Pokemon directly on your memory card. You would get special eggs if you deposited certain amount of Pokemon, these would have unique moves you couldn't get otherwise, and you could also play your GBA games on the big screen like with the Gen 1/2 titles on the N64. Obviously today we have emulators, flashcarts and utilities like Trigger's PC so you don't need all the hassle to play Gen 3 games today, but at least there was payoff back then.

Wrong, kids don't buy Pokemon now. Trannies and soyboys do, kids are more likely to blow 140$ on Fortnite skins or superchats for their favorite streamer playing Fortnite than anything else.
 
The last time you could get every non-mythical pokemon within a single gen was gen 6. You could get all gens 1-6 pokemon between XY and ORAS. The friend safari is of course now offline but any pokemon you couldn't obtain in XY or it's friend safari is obtainable in ORAS, including all legendaries and starters. Now, that would have costed you a lot of money then, and even more money now, but it is still doable.

How is Friend Safari offline? Surely, if you still have friends on your 3DS registered, it should work passively, right?
Or does the system genuinely not work if you're not connected to their servers? Not that it matters, I already got all the Pokemon I wanted from that.
 
How is Friend Safari offline?
You can still use the friend safaris that are associated with any 3DS friend codes that you'd already registered before the 3DS servers went offline.
But I don't think that you can add any new friends now in order to get new safaris from them.

Also, since the third Pokémon in a friend safari only gets unlocked after that friend has become the Champion in their game, and since the servers which would track that are now down, nothing is updating that anymore. So any safari that you have which only has two Pokémon will be stuck on two forever.

I didn't trade with other people through the PSS until the very last couple of days when I realized I was still missing event-exclusive berries and Vivillon forms. Between the GTS finally letting you search for Pokemon you've never seen and me being gifted all 4 Gen 6 games I just never saw the need to use it. As a result I have practically no friend safaris at all.

Eventually the fans will figure out a way to put the 3DS back online, right? Right??

Pretty sure I heard of something like that, but it must be in it's infancy right now. I know DS games, Gen 4 and 5, do have a functioning GTS just not that many people using it. I traded an Arceus I caught from the Azure Flute event for a shiny Ariados that I will never use because Ariados is(sadly) garbage.
 
because Ariados is(sadly) garbage.
Not in later gens it isn't.

Just stick it on a trick room team if the speed is really that much of a turn-off. Otherwise make it hold a scope lense so it can abuse the sniper ability with cross poison and then fell stinger the shit out of the weaker opponents to jack-up it's attack.

Even with Swords Dance it just doesn't have enough attack to do much damage, it's speed isn't even the main problem. I think even Beedrill is more useful at a role a a bug/poison attacker.
