The Smash Bros community has become notorious for harboring pedophiles, so I'm not surprised the Pokemon community also has them. It appears any children's videogame community is going to attract pedos. Pokemon is more of a videogame-centric community than card game-centric, but card games like Magic and YuGiOh have been known to attract the worst neckbeard redditors (most of whom are probably pedos) for a while now.

I hate how furries have infiltrated Pokemon and I hate how Gamefreak keeps making more blatantly furrybait pokemon. I've accidentally ran into pokemon furry porn before while trying to find fanart. A tranny irl has also asked me what pokemon I'd smash before, as if that was a normal question.

I think there's a lot of irony in the fact that the safest games for kids are ones meant for adults because there's going to be fewer pedophiles there. Anyway, I think Pokemon needs to reevaluate their tournament system. Either move it entirely online or have any categories involving minors moved to a separate venue without spectators (and also either requiring spectators to come with a child like Legoland or limiting them to only being 18+).

This has been echoed by burlesque performers, drag queens, dancers, and strippers for years. Women get drunk and in a gaggle they will shove their fingers in your coochie or grab your entire cock and balls in their hand without consent and will get offended when told "no". There was a recent romantasy con where a male cosplayer got groped and grappled by 50 year old wine aunts for the entire weekend.
There's a number of women who think that they're entitled to a handful as long as they're drunk and having a good time, there's men like that too, but they actually face consequences for that shit.

I don't doubt that trannies were doing it, it fits very well into their whole modus operadi, and with how pro-troon Wolfey is I would expect them to use that as an excuse to call him an egg or a chaser. However don't ever underestimate the sexually frustrated rage of a gaggle of catladies or wineaunts.

This is retarded because very few real women play Pokemon and even fewer are autistic enough to go to Pokemon tournaments.

For a Pokemon game it's very good. It's funny how it's gotten so much shit from secondaries, third world Nintendo haters who are still pissed Nintendo C&D'd Switch emulators, and grifters when it's the least flawed game Game Freak has released since ORAS. All the things Game Freak could have fucked up were fine. Performance was solid even on Switch 1, graphics are good enough to serve their purpose of presenting the franchise's style, and the real time battle system is actually pretty fun. People give me shit for my opinion on the graphics but it's not too far off how I felt about XY and ORAS back on the 3DS but without the slowdowns. Presenting a certain aesthetic is more important than the kind of visual clutter people beg for nowadays.
Solid 8/10 experience.
 
So after seeing the fallout of Legends Z-A's release and reading this thread, I decided to get back into this game series after like 10 years. So I've started playing FireRed and have been having quite a bit of fun with it.

I do want to know though, for Gen III, is it preferable to play Emerald or ORAS? I know for Gen II, I'll play HGSS, and for Gen IV, I'll play Platinum since I heard BDSP is a downgrade compared to it, but I don't know if ORAS made any enhancements or additions over Emerald.

ORAS is generally better mechanically unless you specifically want to dig into the Battle Frontier. Both are good options though and Emerald has aged better than the DS games. You're right to avoid D/P and BDSP in favor of Platinum. Personally I dislike HGSS for a bunch of small reasons but they're decent, if a little overrated.

I just got done playing Alpha Sapphire. It feels relatively more balanced than XY because of being based on an older game and they tried harder to have some neat stuff in there, but the Gen 6 mechanics means it still gets piss easy unless you're both handicapping yourself and rushing through it. It's missing every improvement or extra content from Emerald. Most of the neat new doesn't shine that hard since it's either covered up by the easy difficulty or is meant to be something to waste a lot time on in post-game with people who connect to online. The only things it really has going for it is some changes to the story/characters and the Dex Nav. I'd say play Emerald.

Although, Pokemon main campaigns aren't really that long unless you're trying to squeeze every bit of content out of them, so you could just play both and compare them yourself.

You dont play official games at all. Pick a good enhancement romhack or fan game and you will see literally another world so much better that you just can't go back to official games.

Renegade Platinum, Sacred Gold & Storm Silver, there are so many romhacks of Emerald that you can have a full course meal buffet while being the most pickiest eater ever, the same goes for fire red too and and possibilities for also gen 6 that aren't braindead. My recommendation is to play Pokemon Unbound. You are currently seeing the worst of gen 3 (Fire Red), with Unbound you will see stuff that will make Fire Red seems like an amateur job.

In Vega, they said that these statues are 1:1 scale lol

Emerald is still superior, even with the upgrades.

I could consider replaying the other versions in the future, for now though, I want to make the most out of a single playthrough, hence why I'm trying to find the version that would give me the most content. I think though I am going to choose Emerald when I get to Gen III, I also find the GBA Pokemon games to look much more visually pleasing then the 3DS ones.

you're just not trying hard enough, but you've just gotta believe that, maybe, there are women in the internet...

I got my shiny froakie, and all is right with the world. The game doesn't autosave if they run in fear, I learned. This'll help when I start looking for a shiny fennekin.
 
That seems to be the recurring bit with Pokemon - at their core, the games are still Fun, which at this point is all I ask of my escapism, but it’s unfortunately tinged with “Goddamn they could do so much better”.

Be it performance issues, poor designs, or just an assortment of petty shit, Pokémon has fallen deeper and deeper into “It’s Fun, but it could be so much better.” And I doubt a Sonic Mania-esque “Pokemon game made by the fans” would be much better, considering how for every gem of a romhack there’s an ocean of 3edgey5u trash you have to sift through…

Did Gmax Garbodor yesterday, and I noticed they increased the player limit to 100. The fight itself wasn't bad if you had something to tank Garb's attacks. It makes me wonder if they're going to increase the cap for legendary Dmax fights, since those are harder to do than Gmax fights nowadays.
Click to expand...
The limit was increased for gmax to 100 players permanently during the eternatus lead up event and it's been unlimited at big in person events for a while now. I don't think they will increase dmax legendaries past 4, but it's possible.

Dmax legendaries have always been really easy for me because I live in a huge community of very good players that know each other. I very rarely ever lose on gmax even with as low as 4 players, and I don't think I've ever even come close to failing a dmax legendary. All of it is geared for 4 players, the difference being for gmax, those players need to have everything fully powered and use max mushrooms and know what they are doing sometimes to beat the enrage timer.

If there was no enrage timer where the boss eventually one shots everything Gmax would be much easier. Garbador was the first event I've skipped in a long time, mostly because of work, but I've been really losing interest in the game ever since the level update and took a break to play Legends ZA.

I live in a great community that has always been really active ever since launch and even with that I'm starting to get tired of the game after almost 10 years now. Pokemon Go has always had the problem of being a really shitty experience if you live in an area where no one else plays the game or the people that do play put in zero effort/suck at the game.

Adding a higher player cap to the gmax and dmax battles doesn't do anything unless you already live in a pokemon go hotspot like tokyo, in which case it just makes the battle faster. Allowing remotes very slightly helped, but not really because you have no idea if the remote players that join a gmax/dmax legendary are any good or not and rarely can you communicate with each other unless it's part of an online community and not those dumb raiding apps. Also, it's prohibitively expensive and risky to sustain remoting into max battles, if you lose the battle and can't rejoin and complete it you lose a remote pass.

There's really only 4 things you can do that I know of if you want to do gmax/dmax legendaries easily. 1. Find an online community and remote in yourself. drawback is it's still risky and expensive to do this. 2. Whale on 4+ accounts, drawback: expensive and time consuming. 3. Actually live in a good pogo community/major city. drawback: this is something you either can or can not do depending on your situation in life, also you must have social skills. 4. spoof, drawback is you will get banned eventually.

Wew. That's more time in just a few weeks than I've put into Sword and Violet combined. And I started playing them back at the start of the year.

I mentioned this a few times, but Pokémon Polished Crystal is a massive improvement hack of Pokémon Crystal that managed to break the 'under 256' barrier that 8-bit indices required. Currently, 9-bit indices allow 509 Pokémon while there is work on 10-bit indices that would allow 1023 moves.
The problem comes from Blanche, one of the trainers, using 'They/Them' instead of 'He/Him'.
Looking more, there is also a 'non-binary' protagonist called 'Crys'.
Of course, I would need to do a bit of dewoking.
In CeladonUniversityClassroom2.asm on 43, change "They only teach" to "He only teaches".
In RocketHideoutB1F.asm on 83, change "They decides where" to "He decides where".
Optional: In common.asm on 2731, change "Which photo is on" and "your Trainer Card?" to "Are you a boy?" and "Or are you a girl?"

(EDIT: TH IS OUT OF DATE. Page 1269 has an update patch.)

Yeah, Rangi42 is an absolute tranny, using a Glaceon with librarian glasses as an avatar while being the single most prolific contributor to something as autistic as the Pokémon Crystal disassembly.

Polished Crystal is a better hack than Crystal Clear, but you have to be prepared for the type of person to get involved with such projects.
