It really makes you think.

Bell curve meme applies to this picture perfectly

??? What makes B/W more Polish than the other games?

Dick size meme applies to this picture perfectly

>>717941796
the fact is almost glitchless, unlike RBY and SV that are a technical mess

>>717941796
Nothing.
BW is the most mediocre, overrated thing in this franchise.

>>717942180
hi yawnie

>>717942301
Yawnfag was the best thing to happen to the Unova cult, now you can just accuse everyone of being your boogeyman without having to argue.

>>717942704
what's to argue? you said it's mediocre

>>717941796
Because it is? Virtually no bugs, silky smooth 60fps battles unlike gen 4's choppy engine, more refined 2.5D style, animated sprites, dynamic music, most version differences etc. I'd argue that only gen 3 plays better

>>717941989
But what does that have to do with being Polish?

>>717942871
I was starting to think /v/ was too retarded to get a simple joke

>>717942704
there's not much value in arguing to begin with; that gen 5 was the technical peak of the series is indisputable. everything since then has been sloppy, even when it was good. PLA was a better game than BW1, but it's noticeably less polished

>>717942871
This.

Having replayed White version recently that's fairly accurate but I would put BW2 instead since that game introduced the god send feature of asking if you want to use another repel instead of needing to manually do it

Agreed

Why are there not any gen 5 romhacks? The source code was literally leaked last year

>>717942301
Not Yawnie but I have to agree, B/W were some of the most overhyped trash.

Everything that went wrong with Pokemon can be traced to gen 5. It was what killed the series, no matter what Unovabortions claim.

Nobody cares; Gen 5 is the flop gen that everyone but contrarians rightfully hated.

>>717946137
gen 3 romhacking is just easier

I haven't played Pokémon since Crystal (and stadium/snap)
I got a 3ds recently. which 3ds Pokémon game is the best?
Inb4 they're all shit - that's fine, they're for my kid to watch/play with me

remember when BW rom came out and had the anti piracy measure that stopped you getting XP. The serebii guy claimed he'd "just got his copy" but was running into the same thing lol.

>>717947181
I remember intentionally downloading a unpatched rom years later just so I could beat the game at 0 exp
Most fun I've ever had on a pokeshit game

>>717946219
>>Completely removes all other Pokemon
They're in the postgame and you can transfer them from Gen 4. Unlike Ruby and Sapphire or Sword and Shield
>>Forces you to play new ones, 90% of which are garbage clones of gen 1
Some are clones, but even then, they have different typing or stats or both.
>>Plot pretends to be about grey morality, nothing comes of it and the bad guys were wrong all along
The depth comes from N, he genuinely believed in the cause. The game explores the themes of politcal propaganda, war and isolation
>>First game where your rival takes the pokemon that is weak to you
This is misleading because Cheren takes the pokemon that is strong to you. The first game that actually does this with your main rival is SM with Hau
>>Constant hand holding, being interrupted every 30 seconds for more side plot with your worthless companions
Subjective, the more aggressive handholding started with Platinum
>>Such chunky pixel art that it was literally voxels in motion, completely hideous
Subjective
>>Maps had no creativity and were all straight lines
The progression was linear, not the dungeons

>>717946471
ORAS or USUM probably.

USUM has a fuck ton of dialogue so if your kid hates reading they might not enjoy it

>>717946219
>Completely removes all other Pokemon
Something something muh charizard

>Forces you to play new ones, 90% of which are garbage clones of gen 1
Gen 1 was already 90% garbage clones with shit like poison rabbit and poison rabbit (female), 1 diglet, 3 diglet, etc

>Plot pretends to be about grey morality, nothing comes of it and the bad guys were wrong all along
ok speedreader

>First game where your rival takes the pokemon that is weak to you
Also the first game where you have TWO rivals you dishonest fuck

>Constant hand holding, being interrupted every 30 seconds for more side plot with your worthless companions
But enough about SM and SWSHit

>Such chunky pixel art that it was literally voxels in motion, completely hideous
Filtered by S O U L

>Maps had no creativity and were all straight lines
Just because the map is a linear circle it doesn't mean that the inside of the circle is also a straight line

>>717940813 (OP)
Gen 7 (gaming gen, not pokemon gen) truly was the slow death cancer that is still only getting worse

truke

Been playing SV on switch 2 and it's made me appreciate all the QoL and menu speed the game has to navigate through everything. Even just the difference between SS and SV when performing online functions is huge

>>717948815
>old games like Emerald had the battle frontier
>trying to breed a team of good IV mons for that is brutal
>gen 6 finally lets you inherit 5 IVs
>battle frontier and hard post game is gone
Scarlet Violet didn't even have a fucking battle tower when SwSh, the game that didn't even have an elite 4, actually did

It's like the more quality of life and features they add to the menus and gameplay they add the less content there actually is to enjoy it with

>>717949596
yep, it's because they're very focused on online play (that's only temporary)

>>717940813 (OP)
I agree, gens 4 5 and 6 are the last time pokemon showed any quality

>>717949665
>vgc faggotry where everyone uses the same cookie cutter teams because GF can't balance for shit
Honestly thank goodness they're making Champions, maybe the next gen will have more to offer
