At this point in time, I would be under the assumption that as soon as anyone buys a Switch, the Switch Pro or some "definitive" shit will be out shortly.


Remember the Unown Ruins in Solaceon? You could just stop and complete that sidequest for the Ruin Manic by Veilstone.

Speaking of Veilstone, DPPt were the last games that rocked the slots, iirc. Good luck to you on that shit, especially the Explosion sidequest there, but be lucky and hook yourself up with quality TMs and items early.

Overall, just visiting new areas was my favorite part about old Pokémon games. I can fondly remember being amazed as a kid, seeing videos of dudes going to Birth Island and Naval Rock in FRLG, and going to the same two plus Southern Island and Faraway Island in RSE. Even if they're glorified legendary areas, just going to a place with a memorable name just has that charm.

And going back to Gen 4, that's what made it so special to me: the map updating most of the time with these new areas. That route where you activate the Shaymin event? Just a nub on the northern of the map until you do, and suddenly, there's this long path added all the way until you reach the Flower Meadow. And same things applied to Newmoon and Fullmoon Islands as well. Just letting players see that they've reached certain points or can even go to certain places, in any regard, is what makes a game special to me.

The mystery zone void was some of the fondest memories I have of Gen 4 and is why I think so highly of it, because it felt like exploring a whole different dimension and all sorts of weird shit happening out there without any of the unimaginative forced meme GEN 1 glitch cringe of the 2010's.

Was also cool to see cut areas still on the cartridge of most pokemon games.

As well as being able to do just about anything by just walking in specific spots and directions with some knowledge of how bytes work and also showed me how computers work (Though memory is determined by powers of 2 and doesn't end on an odd number) as reaching the end of the card's memory at 65535 steps in any direction would wind you up in an identical world map but nothing would be solid (you couldnt walk up stairs or hills or interact with anything like doors.) It was the same up until they switched engines in GEN 6. Don't know if Gen 6 and onward even have a mystery zone void.

But they only started patching the mystery void with platinum and onwards by adding softlock traps that wont allow you to move even with cheats. Especially in HG/SS.

HG/SS also had improved casino mini games from minesweeper to traditional slots and even a pokeathlon mini game stadium in the national park. (another gen 4 idea that was never tried again alongside the national park idea after Gen 4 iirc.)

Imagine being the one to suggest we could get arceus and even visit the hall of origin using the void tweaking glitch months before it was actually discovered, then being banned from the discord as a "troll" and a tutorial video made on that very "troll" topic a few months later being applauded by a few hundred thousand bot views. Meanwhile the very same retards were too busy playing dumb and bitching about how embarrassing it was that they dropped their smelly sandwich in between the moderators and admin's hormone sessions and spamming futa porn in the glitching servers.

Likely the same shit happened at gamefreak on a similar level and is why the games have been dogshit ever since Iwata died.

Fuck I hate discord. and haven't used it since.

At least the farms showed me I wasn't crazy to see all that hypocrisy and weaponized autism and I feel Vindicated seeing how the threads explained everything that happened.

The channel that I posted a video from is unrelated but a good source for things even I was unaware of and felt was pretty neat.

Actually, the Japanese versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver still had the game corner. The Voltorb Flip game was for all non-Japanese regions due to then-recent EU anti-gambling laws(It also affected non-EU countries because it was simpler to have one English/French/Spanish language versions of the game rather than two). The Europeon versions of Platinum simply made the Game Corner in Veilstone non-functional, since the game only came out there shortly after the law was passed so they had no time to put effort into a replacement. On a similar note, the 3DS Virtual Console versions of the Gen 1 and 2 games got a higher PEGI rating than Pokemon games typically get due to them still having the Game Corner in them,

Wonder if they will replace it with anything or just leave it non functional in BDSP

Seeing as ORAS and LGPE both just simply made them non-functional(with the former having it closed down and the former owner just hands you the three secret base decorations that were exclusive to the place in the GBA versions, and the latter being turned into an arcade but you still can't even play anything in it), I won't be surprised if that is what they do in BDSP

That's what made the roulette wheel in Mauville's Game Corner so refreshing. Shame they never brought more games like that in later Game Corners (Two Island had more of a minigame Game Corner, but gambling in Pokémon is cool, yo).

I prefer Voltorb Flip over the slots too. Personally I find the flip game to be more fair in general once you figure the trick to locking down most of the deadzones consistently since now it's a puzzle instead of hoping you didn't find a slot machine with allegedly shit odds

My main contention with the Voltorb Flip is that you can't just buy Coins directly like in the Game Corner, forcing you to play the game to get what you want from it. The Japanese game corner had slots, which are seemingly random at first glance, and completely lacked the Card Flip game they had in Gen II, but they at least still had the ability to buy coins. Also the HGSS slots were the most advanced the series ever had, and with the right knowledge were extremely easy to manipulate to get a lot of coins with little effort.
 
Okay, Poke-Tuber HoopsandHiphop has brought to my attention that a THIRD Gold and Silver prototype has surfaced. Alternate Politoed, Beta Castform, generic fox.

Yet I can’t find this information on TCRF.

Does anyone know? This better not be the same dump as that weird looking Celebi.

TCRF is ran by the same types who run most wiki sites. Troons and goons.
Wouldn't bother using it anymore than to archive what is interesting to you.
Site has effectively been on ice since at least 2017 and adding any useful new relevant information on articles is quickly removed and labeled "spam". It wont be getting better any time soon.

They have a shocking amount of crappy 2D mario clones no one cares about documented and growing to this day, but anything actually interesting from the ps2/original Xbox era and forward is sparse at best. That includes pokemon titles past GEN 2.

Wasnt Castform a GEN 3 pokemon?

There is a noticable "anti-Piracy screen" trend where people are manufacturing fake cut content that almost looks legitimate to the uninitiated. There has not ever been any official "anti piracy" screen for any DS era games.



So It could be fake but its not unheard of for designs to be reworked for subsequent generations. Like how the original giratina form looks like it was reworked into a GEN 5 legendary with a similar head shape and body color

Where do some people get this mentality that tone wise gen 1 was much darker than the rest of the series while everything else is sanitized? I played all gens and the only “dark” parts of Kanto were Mewtwo’s origin and a Marowak being killed offscreen. Gen 7 was far darker. I know it’s a small minority but the edgyness of gen 1 is oversold.
Also is it an unpopular opinion to think Shudo is a bit overrated? I mean he did a lot of great work on the anime and I appreciate his creativity but his original vision for the series portrayed in his light novels was edgy in a bad way. The series would have sucked if he got full creative control over it.

Its probably more because gen 1 left alot of shit up to the imagination on how the world worked, I mean look at shit like lavender town or the slowpoke tail stuff in gen 2. Early on pokemon did feel sorta like animals where people would poach them, abuse them, and eventually die. The gen 7 games have their own sense of darkness with the UBs and the stuff with lusimene's family but it doesn't leave much to the imagination. Again not a KANTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOmer but sometimes less is more yah know?
