...yeah, can't argue with that.
 
I just finished explorers of sky, and now I have a couple of questions.
1: How good does it compares to the rest of the franchise? I would almost say that gen 4 is the peak, but never questioned which title is the actual best between sky, platinum and the gen2 remakes.
2: Would you believe me if I were to tell you that I played it only because of the soundtrack? Same reason I first picked up megaman...

It has a story that isn't crayon scribbles on a napkin.

Yes. Great soundtrack.

I wish the post game was a little more like red rescue team, also the finale where your character is brought back as what's basically a living paradox could've been delayed a little, maybe by forcing you to complete a dungeon with your companion solo.
Yes. Great soundtrack.
I think it's the third time I listen at credits theme on repeat (first time was NITW and second was ds3). At the beginning I thought I would hate its upbeat start, but then I realized how it devolves back into sad and nostalgic, as if the start was an attempt at consolation or cope from your companion followed by acceptance.



I kinda hate that I couldn't evolve my eevee until much later than red rescue and had to use codes to find the right TMs and didn't had access to a few moves I wanterd. though being able to troll the final boss by letting it pick up that stupid reviser seed was worth it.

It wasn't quite like that in SMD, but the true finale was pretty peak.
 
I did an autistic experiment today: I counted how many threads of each type /vp/ had at the time I took a catalog screenshot. Here are the results

The results aren't exactly what I was expecting. There were a whole lot more good threads than I thought, but majority is still some sort of garbage or something most people aren't interested. Quality of the board is overall very low, as expected, but none of this is very surprising. You could say the same thing about the rest of the site: There may be some diamonds in the rough, but you have to really dig for them.
Anyone else here browse /vp/ occasionally? What was your favorite period of time in the board's history, or favorite event?

Imagine getting filtered by Drifloon.
 
I know people in this thread see it as the point where the rot really set in, but man do I continue to love the games.
I think the gen 6 games are the beginning of the end and that X and Y are a mediocre unfinished mess. That said, they're still the Pokemon games that I've played the most, even more than HGSS and BW1 which are my favorites in the series.

XY had such forgettable characters that I can't remember a single Elite Four or Gym Leader.
And thanks to all that playtime I can remember most of the side characters, even the bug gym leader's sister and the professor's assistants with superhero alter egos, their theme is actually neat.
But they're not good. I could write an essay on why I find most of them annoying but just as an example, it still amuses me how X and Y tried making Lysandre a twist villain (and made professor Sycamore look like a dumbass for not realizing he was evil).

maybe by forcing you to complete a dungeon with your companion solo.
Gates to Infinity does exactly that. You need to complete a dungeon as your partner to ask your character to come back. You can even say no but it just counts as a defeat.

Super's postgame felt rather weak to me frankly, the game just tried too hard to get me to care about some random Mew I just met and I found it painfully melodramatic.

I already see a faggot that believes getting no game every 1.5 month is a bad thing.

Interestingly, they are also the first that introduced a gimmick transformation and fairy type.
Also I always hated pokemon origins, which was released complementary to the game to introduced mega evolutions.

Noice.
 

So Niantic decided to fuck with the curve throws in Pokemon Go, making it harder for anyone to catch Pokemon. As usual, Niantic and the tranny CM haven't addressed this, and some people are coping with the idea that this is "a bug."

And how many of those said GO dicksuckers are saying for players that complain about the change, to "GIT GUD" or "LEARN 2 PLAY"?

Not as much as you would think because it caught everyone off guard (You have a few youtube shills and fanboys pretending it's not a thing). Nobody was happy about losing experience or chances at getting legendary Pokemon because Niantic decided to secretly fuck over the players (and Kestral has done next to nothing since the Avatar controversy). Landorus, Charizard, and Yveltal were pain in the asses to catch thanks to the changes.

Apparently Niantic plans to implement the Dynamax and Gigantamax stuff even though we're still missing Galar pokemon (no starters) and even Megas like Mewtwo and Metagross. Pokemon Go is going to be a mess when it gets to Terrestallizing from SV (if we even get there).
 
I like how every day looks like the first day of summer in ORAS: the first sign of daylight at 4 AM, not really night until 9:10 PM.
 
I finally got around to playing Black 2 after goodness knows how long, and it's fucking hilarious that the Festival Plaza in Gen VII wasn't even anything unique. Not only was it such a step-down from the PSS, it wasn't even anything new. Garbage. 🎩
