remakes of retro games are allowed. talking about videogames are also allowed. discussing an rpg is not off topic even though /vrpg/ exists. stop being a faggot backseat janny tranny.

OP to answer your question, storm silver and heart gold rom hacks. vanilla versions of both are too heavily flawed. that hack isnt perfect either but its the best you can do.

it fixes the balance, wild pokemon variety, and level scaling, especially in kanto which are the biggest problem with gen 2 (and was not addressed in the remakes). a decent challenge without going to emerald kaizo levels of frustration and grind. and its pretty close to vanilla without introducing a bunch of cringe OC which to me is the biggest fucking problem with romhacks in general. it does make some changes I dont totally agree with but they are mostly inoffensive.

its really up to the mood of the janny on duty and how recent the remake was. I know Ive seen threads for ffiv ds remake that were left up. I agree that remakes shouldnt be allowed (imagine if 7r fags were shitting up this board) but I also think DS and PSP should be retro at this point anyway, the DS was the last mostly 2d console and feels more retro than xbox or ps2 imo.

>why is johto bad
the most common complaints are a lack of johto pokemon both in the wild and in gym leaders teams, and really bad level scaling on the gym leaders themselves. theres a point in the game where you can fight a few different gym leaders in any order, so they made all the same pathetic level so little kids wouldnt have to face any adversity. which is weird because gen 1 doesnt have the issue despite having the same structure.

oh and also when you get to kanto every gym leader will be pathetically underleveled, theres zero challenge whatsoever even though youve already beat the elite four. and then you get to red and hes 20 levels higher than you

No, newfag. Containment boards have site-wide general rules attached to them, like General Rule #15 for its respective board. Pokemon threads are still allowed and happen every day on /v/. /vp/ is no more a containment board for pokemon than /vrpg/ is a containment board for rpg video games in general. Notice that we can have Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy threads on /vr/ and /v/ etc? It's a special interest board, not containment.

I didn't make this thread, but no, I won't. /vr/ exists precisely because other boards that are not retro-focused are difficult for discussion of anything but the latest games. This applies for literally every retro game. /vp/ is virtually entirely discussion of the latest pokemon games. This is why /vp/ was not made to be a containment board, and why pokemon discussion is allowed on /vr/ and elsewhere. Take it up with the mods if that upsets you.

Regarding generals, /v/ has a board rule against them
Regarding touhou, those threads tend to devolve into off-topic shitflinging and that's what gets them deleted, not the subject itself. If there was a regular thread just discussing the series there'd be no issue.

To answer the question instead of seething about cross-board bullshit or gen wars, I prefer Crystal because the engine feels faster and I like the chiptune music better. Crystal also walks the fine line between bonding the player with a legendary (Suicune) without making the entire plot about that (Gen 3 onwards), and while the remake mostly respects that, it does turn you into the chosen one. The redesigns for the characters also tend to be, for the lack of a better term, atrocious.
That said the remake is great for what it is, it does have more to do, and it all boils down to preference in visuals and style. Since you're on /vr/, I think you might prefer Crystal by default because it is simpler and more retro.

I would feel like the recent influx of Pokemon threads were more legitimate if they weren't all about Gen 2, the most divisive generation both on /vr/ and /vp/.

And also, Heart Gold and Soul Silver are not retro under the rules of this board.

It's very much a unique experience to play Gens 1 and 2 on physical copies with Stadium as opposed to playing their remakes. Stadium is vastly underrated. Personally, I think gathering some of your mates and doing a casual playthrough of the Gen 1+2 games together, working to complete the pokedex and such over a weekend and making full use of trading and shit is a load of fun. You can't do that with the other gens.

Well, Gen 1 wanted and expected you to fight gym leaders in a particular order. You could sequence break, but you had to go somewhat out of your way and still ended up at roughly the same level, anyway, thanks to the random trainers you fought along the way. I think it was just assumed that players would naturally play through things in the right order. It wasn't just one big massive open space where you can go three different directions with little direction on where you're supposed to go first like in Gen 2. Gen 1 was way more structured.
>so little kids wouldnt have to face any adversity
That's who these games are made for, anon. So sick of autists on the internet crying because a retail children's game doesn't have kaizo levels of difficulty. Pokemon is a comy as fuck game that has never had any adversity in any of its iterations, period.

Anonymous No.12155012 [Report]

Yeah, going to Fuschia before Saffron requires you to pretty much willfully ignore Saffron and intentionally walk past it. And there's no ignoring all the trainers on the way there. Can't you also just walk past Lt. Surge and come back to him later in the game? Pretty much the same thing. It's not the same as just letting you loose in basically an open world for a third of the game and letting you choose the order you want to do things in, which Gen 2 was designed to let you do; Gen 1 was intended to be played in a particular order. I don't think they went out of their way to make sure you couldn't sequence break in Gen 1, because you can in very many ways, but it wasn't intended.

Based opinion but Crystal is not a long game. All of the timegated garbage is kind of pointless and not necessary for beating the game. Just use one or two Pokemon like everyone else and knock out the league in like 7-8 hours.

Yeah, but in terms of like, average 4chan contrarian bait/criticism that seems to be the most common angle of attack. IE, the accusation that anyone who likes it is just a zoomer baby with nostalgia goggles.

For my personal opinion, even as a gen 1 literal boomer myself, I still see gen 5 as essentially the peak of the series. It represents the point where the games were at their most polished, the mechanics were well rounded and implemented, and there was still creativity and love going into them. From there it was only downhill desu.
