You fags were so busy bitching about "le modern state of le pokeymans..." and other stupid shit, that no one even remembered that Pokémon Emerald turned 20 years old a few days ago (in the US, that is)
Wish a happy birthday to unrivaled Hoenn kino!

This would hit harder if I hadn't almost completely passed over the advanced generation. Which in retrospect was like grades 5-10.

It doesn't feel 20 years old since it aged incredibly well. It helps that unlike GSC or RBY, there is still a reason to play it since ORAS was so underwhelming.

Reminds me of one of my few shinies I picked up.

Edit: That reminds me, I really hope they keep the little ping sound effect from seeing a shiny that they had in PLA. I would have completely missed this Luxray if that sounds wasn't there and I know I missed a few shinies in SV because of that sound not being there.

Its really bad for the houndoom line. Dark blue compared to black is so subtle you can barely tell if you're not focused on it.

It's crazy how old some of the older games are

for example, when looking at the ages of ds era and early 3ds era:
Diamond and pearl are 19
platinum is 17
HGSS are 16
black and white are 15
black 2 and white 2 are 13
x and y are 12
and oras is 11
and next year sun and moon will be a decade old

damn we're old

What Gamefreak was able to do over the last decade:
*ULTRA CHANGES
*Pokemon LEGPiss
*Several major leaks which pretty much give us everything we needed, or wanted to know about games that matter
*Dexit
*Sword and Shield
*Paid DLC
*Legends Arceus, probably the only decent new game in years
*Shitty, broken DP remakes
*Scarlet/Violet(paid tech demo)
*More useless DLC
*A bunch of mobile games nobody cares about, including gacha slop
*DEI up the ass

Yeah, I'm thinking there is a reason people usually talk about the older games more fondly than the newer ones.

This one messes me up the most. I have more hours in Ruby, but Diamond has a special place in my heart. So many more people had DP because the DS sold like umbrellas on a rainy day, so for once I had a small community of people to play with at my school. I still remember doing link battles and learning about EVs/IVs (cursed knowledge for a young lad), hanging out in the underground, battle tower multis with my friends, competing to get the "best" trades off GTS... it definitely was the most active my friends and my school ever was with Pokémon. I even remember the urban legends that we had. Like dusk balls working best at exactly midnight is one that sticks out in my mind still.

That brings me to maybe a good question for you all; which generation was the most social one for you?

Seriously, why did they get rid of that?!
I love hearing it, and just feeling that rush of, "did I just hear that?" I'll even use the screen record feature on the switch to review if it was a real shiny ping, or just me mishearing. And if it's real, I like the search afterward!

Gen I, as far as actually playing the game, technically this current Gen regarding discussion. By ‘99 Pokémania had already waned, which also coincided with coincided with me simply not having kids my age around anymore. Despite moving into town, into a neighborhood where all the parents were around the same age as mine, I was still 3-5 years older than any of the other kids; and eternity when you’re nine.

I only interacted with people IRL in middle school with Gen1 because that still was popular at the time. My classmates still were trading for version exclusives and playing the TCG at lunch time. When Gen2 came out, that's when people fell out of Pokemon and went onto whatever the latest trend was.

Gen6 was the one where I was online the most. Triple battles were still a thing and the ones I had the most fun with (even though Mat Block Greninja was fucking EVERYWHERE), moreso with the ubers especially when Primal Groundon came out.

I wonder what Gamefreak meant by having the wigger antifa analogue wind up being useful idiots for some evil NGO?

wayward young men are easily manipulated by surrogate parental figures. I also don't think Skull is an analogue to antifa, they're more like a baby form of team rocket who just fuck shit up for fun and camaraderie between members. Guzma being a nepobaby is the only part of their story i don't like.

Didn't Guzma fail his island challenge, and his dad regularly beat the shit out of him? Isn't that the opposite of a nepobaby? I'm sorry if I've missed/forgotten some lore.

Yeah that's correct, you can see the context for it if you visit his room at his house and read item descriptions.

His dad being abusive and him being bad at what he wanted to do doesn't mean he didn't come from a well-off family. His dad pushed him to be a golfer (rich man sport, imo) and Guzma even had a few trophies for it but he didn't enjoy it. I guess I meant that Guzma coming from a family with money clashes with his rough-and-tough demeanor and the sort of person he *wants* to be, not that he got to where he is through his family connections and nepotism. It sort of reminds me of hippies in the 70s being mostly upper middle class and pretending to be dirty hippies. Guzma *could* in theory, just leave his little gang and go back to his family's house and be just fine, It sucks for the people who came to rely on being in Team Skull for a sense of belonging when it dissolves (and Guzma washes off his fake tattoos lmao).
