Sinnoh had the best atmosphere tbh.

and bland story
You mean like every single pokemon until Black/White?

D/P/Pl had a decent story - at least one better than "Evil organization is evil!"

I love the mythology in it, the Library, Celestic Town, Eterna City, Snowpoint temple, etc. are really cool.

By decent story do you just mean the faction was different? I find destroying the entire universe is generally meh of a motive. Even then, in Platinum, the writing wasn't entirely amazing or a bump up from the rest.

Luciana · July 13, 2016, 04:43:42 PM

Guys, I get Gen 1 is kind of simple in design, but it WAS the first installment of a lot of it, and I honestly think some of the most iconic pokemon come from Gen 1. Simplicity doesn't always = bad.

If you ask me, Gen 5's pokemon are absolutely horrible for the most part because of over designed and what I feel is a bunch of unmotivated names.

The ending it was kinda meh with them simply making Ghetis or whatever the evil bad dude, but the characters, the gym leaders ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING, and various other small things made it actually come together to feel much better. I also think not going down the typical route of "become elite 4 champion" was really a smart thing to do.

I don't think every pokemon STORY should have you just becoming the champion and that be that. It should always be an option, but I don't think you always need to end the game in the Hall of Fame room.

Fuck you just made me want to read Nuzlocke again

Big Boss · July 13, 2016, 06:33:01 PM

Gen 1 was simple with alright designs, with 1 or 2 standouts I really love.

Probably a 6/10

Luciana · July 13, 2016, 07:29:15 PM

The only issue I have with Gen 1 is honestly just how bland the region is. But again, back in the mid 90's on a weak handheld device, didn't really give them many options.

Big Boss · July 13, 2016, 08:07:02 PM

I don't think anyone forgot. It's still okay to criticize and discuss it.

Big Boss · July 13, 2016, 08:08:04 PM

Of course it's hard to judge it compared to the newer ones because it came out on a less advanced system but that doesn't mean it can't be my least favorite next to 5

Well yeah, but to say it's a piece of shit is just silly.

Spartan · July 13, 2016, 08:23:55 PM

I like the region of Kanto tbh, the Sevii islands in FR/LG was also a nice addition to it

HGSS is a very close second. BW2 only wins because it had PWT.
