Those changed the gameplay too though, so it's not strictly what he wants but close enough.

I just want Crystal with online support for NSO.

Yeah and I want Nintendo to re-release Pokemon Stadium 1 + 2 for the Switch/STEAM with online support but I doubt either of our ideas seem enticing, or practical to Miyamoto/GameFreak/Whoever the fuck runs the show. For a thread with a near non-stop stream of doom and gloomposting how Pokemon has been ruined forever, people here still want The proven-incompetent Pokemon Company to give them their hopes & desires packaged within a video game. I honestly don't get it.

I'm pretty sure Crystal was on 3DS with at least local wireless play, shouldn't be much of an ask for it on NSO with its standard online features, especially now that 3DS eShop is going down.

Stadium seems to be something they're reluctant with, not sure why beyond "it's not impressive anymore". News flash, most old games aren't anymore so that's a dumb reason. They don't mind releasing other old Pokemon games. It's not like the N64 library is very big, and a lot of it has licensing issues, so they should be happy to put Stadium out.
 
For what it's worth, the EXP Share being permanently on is only a thing in Let's Go, SWSH, and BDSP.

Let's face it, early Pokemon games had a fucktarded difficulty curve (especially Gen 2), so I kind of get why they've been making the games easier, and shit, but they really are overcompensating for it nowadays.

I'm fine with the EXP Share being a thing since I've never really cared about Pokemon being particularly challenging, or anything, but I do think having no way to turn it off is stupid, and a step too far.

Gen 2 just had a really stupid wild pokemon encounter level table and I can pin that a lot on the shape of the region - while it's nice to be wide open, that meant they had to balance it around someone heading right from Jasmine to Pryce. So a massive middle chunk of the game had pokemon hovering around those early levels - if you didn't know real early on what you wanted then it was hell catching up.

Then you have the disaster that's the Kanto encounter table - if I recall correctly, the only areas where you had pokemon in their 40s was the Mt. Silver area. And Red's team is all in the 70's.

Gen 3 onwards is where it started to get better, but I still feel like Gen 5 had the best level balance. Audino being so prevalent in that game sure helped there, but that generation had the best ability of keeping pokemon at the right levels.

I'm not a fan of the Scarlet box legendary because of the weird ass wheel protruding from its throat.

And I'm posting these because I'm pretty sure this guy was the inspiration. Or at least my mind says so.

I don't think the Scarlet legendary really looks like Gigan, as much as I'd like for there to be a Gigan-inspired pokemon I know GF would fuck it up royally.

I'm still not really convinced about gen 9. Yeah they've got battle animations now but it still looks incredibly unpolished and seeing potentially four rivals makes me instinctively think they're going to be nothing but railroaders rather than actual challenges.

Then how do you know that the Scarlet legendary isn't the result of the fuck up?

Because the Scarlet legendary has elements of the quetzalcoatl (feathers, snake-like body) and amphibians (webbed fingers), whereas Gigan is more avian and sharp-looking. The bit with spikes on its chest looks more like a tyre too. Not to mention the lack of armor covering this guy if we're going to include Millennium Gigan. Of course I could be wrong, but that's my thoughts on it.

Both the box legendaries look a lot more like digimon than pokemon to me too now that I think about it.
 
Already love these new designs more than galar mons
I guess someone at game freak really hated Britain and wanted to make it the absolute worst region for some reason lmao
 
If the Legendaries are meant to be Past and Future I hope their Types are

Dragon/Fire for the Past
Dragon/Psychic for the Future.

Those types are fitting and neither type combos have been used much.
