Thread 12134614

To my fellow Zoombers who started with gen 3 and missed pokemania and had absolute no previous knowledge of gen 1 and gen 2.

Which games did you like more RSE or FRLG?

I personally found FRLG more enjoyable because without even knowing I found the Pokémon from Kanto more cooler/interesting than Hoenn Pokémon without even knowing they were Kanto Pokémon, Kanto as a region also has such a mere ikteresting vibe than Hoenn and I also found the Sevii isles much more enjoyable than the Battle Frontier.

The fuck you mean? I vividly remember Pokemania extending through Gen 3.
When Ruby & Sapphire came out, every kind I knew was talking about it.

>Which games did you like more RSE or FRLG?
The Hoenn games desu.

Pokémon was popular with gen 3 but poke mania died long before.
Poke mania isn’t just being popular, it was an all encompassing force

Emerald > frlg > rs

I got emerald and my brother got sapphire because my parents didn’t know there would be a difference between the versions, I liked the animations.

>>12135064
/pol/ is based you incel

RSE >>>> FRLG

The main reason is because when FRLG came out I had played kanto so many times already, plus the tileset was way more boring. The tiles in RSE were a lot more vibrant.

>>12134614 (OP)
I liked RSE better, more cool Pokemon in Hoenn and some of the coolest from Kanto are available anyway
The one thing FRLG had going for it was access to Eeveelutions but even then you couldn't get the best two

>>12135192
Pokemania isn't just a time where Pokemon was popular, it still is today.
Pokemania is the absolute peak of Pokemon's influence and popularity, which was at the end of the 90s.

>>12135192
That South Park episode wasn't exaggerating, it really was like that for the first couple years after Pokemon was introduced to the West

>>12135192
You were too young to experience actual pokemania. Accept it and move on

>>12135192
I remember all the kids that used to play pokemon not giving a fuck about RSE

>>12135192
Gen II killed Pokemania.

>>12139048
Kid's on my school still played gen 2, some emulated gen 3 and didn't like it, one even give me his copy of Ruby because he could emulate the game

pol sucks. o has soul

only it's a different vowel

>>12135632
Go back to your containment board, nigger

don't take the bait

>>12139069
What does this prove? That more people bought and played gen 2?

>>12139069
>every pre-Switch gen new generation of games sells around the same, half as much as Gen 1 (with the exception of Gen 2 around two-thirds)
>upper versions sell about half as well as their base versions

>remakes of older gens for some reason are a gradually increasing % of their source as time goes on
What causes that?

>>12139289
More people play videogames

>>12137036
True, but one could argue that Poekmania came back to life for a brief time with the release of Pokemon Go. I never played it, but people were going absolutely insane for it.

>>12139123
What an elaborate troll, I almost respect it

I haven't played the GBA Pokemon in over 20 years, so I couldn't even give an opinion if I wanted to.

>>12141281
ok

>>12139048
G&S were still well and truly part of pokemania and were hugely popular.
>>12139501
This is definitely true

>>12135192
By gen 3 most kids thought pokemon was “gay” and for nerds. It wasn’t until much later that being seen as a nostalgia nerd was popular.

>>12134614 (OP)
I got Sapphire as my first game, was familiar with the early seasons of the anime and was incredibly confused as to where Charizard and that lot were.
