Re: Soapbox: Don't Listen To The Pokémon: Let’s Go Haters - The Game Has Definitely Found Its Audience

Let's Go is great, it's not $60 great since its a remake of FireRed/LeafGreen with elements from Yellow.

I've played in Handheld mode and it's pretty good but I'd rather play on my TV without the wii motion controls.

It's a great entry point for new players but it's pretty much the same exact game which is pretty shallow by todays standards.

The Pokemon walking around in the wild is incredible and almsot creepy. I hope they keep that going in the future.

It should have been a $40 game and the Pokemon Go park that a lot of people probably bought it for is buried deep into the main game story line.

Re: Infamous Pokémon Save Data Editor Has Been Updated To Support Pokémon: Let's Go

@Shadowmoon522 I get it, i used to edit the GB roms of the original games and we'd you the pokemon editors to remake the maps and which pokemon spawned. it was a lot of fun.
I think there was a way to inject your own sprites during the GBA era of Pokemon so i would put family members faces as pokemon. I guess when it hit the point with DS where you could easily get the fake pokemon stats it took the fun out of the game for me. I had more fun playing Omega Ruby earlier this year than anything else. Once Nintendo started handing out Mystery Gift Pokemon it made the game to easy.

@Shadowmoon522 I mean I get it, especially for the older Pokemon games where you miss out on stuff if you don't buy it day 1.
I used to set up my extra router just to get Pokemon on DS or back in the day use the Gameshark to Surf in Pokemon Yellow.

I just don't understand why in this day and age companies that know a casual market exists don't offer "easy passes" on games like this or Zelda where an Infinite Heart mode would let people to just have fun.

Re: Soapbox: It's Not Cool To Lock Pokémon Behind A Paywall

They've been locking Pokemon behind a paywall from the start with Red/Green/Blue.

want that Surfing Pikachu mini game? you need a n64 Transfer Pak, Nintendo 64 system, Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Staidum.
You also can use a Gameboy but it's optional since you can play in on the n64

Re: Gallery: All Gen 4 Pokémon Coming Soon To Pokémon GO

Diamond and Pearl starts in Season 10 of Pokemon in a couple weeks on Twitch. That's a perfect time to launch Gen 4.

Season 7 just ended today. I drifted away from the anime and movies around the Celebi movie. The Twitch marathon has been great to help recapture the magic. I went and finished Omega Ruby after not really playing a main line game since Soul Silver and never finishing Ruby on gba.

I think if you haven't played Sun/Moon the Ultra versions are better.

I agree with the Gold/Silver remakes being the best.

I'd think the ORAS remakes would top even Emerald since they are much better than X and Y.(also have a ton of end game content so you can catch everything up to the X/Y generation)

It's hard to go backwards once you get all the quality of life improvements of the newer games.

It also doesn't help if you missed all the timed events when these games were newer. While you miss out on rare pokemon you'll have a basic and pure experience of playing the base game without over powered super pokemon that can 1 hit KO everything.

It's much more satisfing to catch a Groudon in Omega Ruby instead of using the one I got from Gamestop/Target by putting in a 12 digit code.

@OorWullie Vs Super Mario Bros is great, well worth a purchase especially if you like the online leadboards.

Donkey Kong is awesome as well. It's a dramatic improvement on the NES version and I had it on the 3ds as well when it was a special bonus with Paper Mario Sticker Star on 3ds.

if it's the FDS version of Vs. Excite Bike it's worth a purchase.
I don't think 3 difficulty levels and 2 extra tracks are wroth it if it's not.
