did anyone else despise HG/SS

Nah, but I didn't have a super strong attachment to GSC

Now ORAS, I despise that with almost every fibre of my being

care to elaborate? i thought they were all right

-There are minor things that bug me (routes not being as free flowing as RSE, things like Dewford Cave being neutered on your first visit, Mauville's redesign, not even a replacement for the game corner like HGSS had, leaving the Wattson/New Mauville event until post-Groudon/Kyogre instead of post-Norman)
-Could have certainly used more Pokemon Emerald content like gym leader rematches and the Battle Frontier
-Does something silly that HGSS did - make a pokemon (Notch Earred Pichu/Cosplay Pikachu) that can't leave the game
-I never felt like I was allowed to struggle, biggest example being Route 112 and Route 113, you get to 112, May heals you, there's a house you can heal at, and then you get onto Route 113 and May heals you again
-Sometimes you're escorted to a place after completing a story sequence rather than having a choice, such as saving --Professor Cozmo in Meteor Falls, as you're taken to his home instead of being allowed to explore
-Possibly the easiest Pokemon game, outside of abusing Gen 1's broken mechanics
-More so Game Freaks fault, but coming up with "Kalos Rules" rather than updating X/Y to allow them to be fully compatible is dumb

It's just things that build up that ultimately turn me away from it.

Some missed potential
-No online contests
-Spoiling the Delta Episode, seeing Deoxys and Mega Rayquaza without seeing them in the trailers would have been so cool

-I feel like they could have introduced one new area that isn't just a small island or series of caves

And for some things I liked
-Better story telling and characters than the originals
-Great music
-All the megas are cool
-Streetpass secret bases are the best shit
-Dexnav was a very nice addition, though I missed the X/Y skates

I'll think about it more in the morning since I'm getting tired

is it sad that the only game i have to look forward to in the foreseeable future is a virtual console port of an 18 year old game coming out in two months

which pokemon game should i do a playthrough of on my gamecube

i have that GBA converter thing

which ones have you played

which ones have you played

all of them

and i just did a playthrough of fire red so i don't feel like doing that one

i say do whichever you have the least experiences with unless it's gen 1

i recommend gen 2 if you don't plan on VCing it in september

Use the following code to receive Tyranitarite, Abomasite, Manectite, and Aggronite in your Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon game. These items will let your Tyranitar, Abomasnow, Manectric, and Aggron Mega Evolve during battle, making these awesome Pokémon even more daunting to face!

Mega Stones special code: SABLEVOLANT

I like that dude's videos, but he needs to get better background music.

that's a weird complaint, lol

He has like 20 videos already, so the fact that he tends to use the same music starts becoming more and more apparent.

shit, now i feel bad that i've made you aware of it

My friends and I have been playing this on Tabletop Simulator and it's the shit.

is there a better feel
