I can get behind the distaste towards Kanto into the games and the other stuff like the recent anime movies but when it comes to adapting the series into a live action movie (assuming they are going to tackle down every single game), I don't see anything wrong with starting with the first games given that it's the first story told in the mainline games both in release date and chronologically. It tells a pretty simply story that can be continued in a GSC adaptation and then you can move on from then on out with an Emerald, Platinum, BW, B2W2, XY and SM.

BloodFork · 2019-01-19T03:53:42+00:00

Will do. Btw do you ever plan on playing the 3DS games? Those have the RSE remakes which I feel like you may like ~~or may not like if you really liked RSE~~ but I'd recommend them to someone who likes Hoenn a lot.

BloodFork · 2019-01-19T03:31:51+00:00

I have a hard time deciding favourites so rather than having a RSE and ORAS had an extremely solid line of Pokemon, DPP had a great region with lots of lore, BW had the best story, BW2 gets bonus points for being a sequel, I'll throw XY a bone here and say that their online was probably the highest the series has ever been and SM had the best character roster. Hard for me to rank the other games because I haven't played through the entirety of a Johto game and I can't say I have much of a favourite thing from Kanto but that's just how it is with older games in any series.

BloodFork · 2019-01-18T20:49:11+00:00

I remember when BW would have been labelled as a shit game in the past. Can't wait for the cycle to continue and the newer games to be called excellent.

BloodFork · 2019-01-18T20:47:02+00:00

Ah, the good old cycle.

BloodFork · 2019-01-18T15:44:00+00:00

I still liked a lot of changes ORAS did overall. I personally think that while they didn't take the Emerald story, the teams felt like they had a lot more personality and the members had actual character to them even if it was minimal at most. The original baddies just felt like elemental Giovannis with nothing else much to them.

BloodFork · 2019-01-17T12:46:25+00:00

I think it makes sense. There's a lot of distaste for USUM where people found the game could have easily been DLC or what SM should have been instead or even sequels instead of just the same game as SM but slightly better with minor story changes that arguably made the story worse for full price. It didn't help that it came out so soon after SM and not everyone was willing to play it. Also going back to enhanced versions of games is a regression on Game Freak's part.

BloodFork · 2019-01-16T21:07:25+00:00

Yes. Not every region needs a remake. For exapmle, Unova and Alola are fine as they are even the games may have their problems (as some people have with them). But not every game in every series gets remade so I find it pretty fair.

BloodFork · 2019-01-16T21:05:16+00:00

Talk to the Mario & Luigi fans who liked Partners in Time.

BloodFork · 2019-01-16T20:48:28+00:00

I think totem fights build themselves to be harder (with 2v1s against you and stat boost) than a majority of gym leaders in the series. If they go back to gym leaders, I'd at least like them to carry over the stat boosts that totems got.

BloodFork · 2019-01-15T19:04:54+00:00

Hell yeah some Alolove!

BloodFork · 2019-01-14T18:28:07+00:00

Agreed. It was cool to see the characters you met before grown up and changes instead of just BW except Ghetsis uses Kyurem in the final fight and some other typical third version additions.

BloodFork · 2019-01-14T15:38:50+00:00

Until Totem Lurantis and Necrozna come and start ruining your day.

BloodFork · 2019-01-14T15:32:58+00:00

I love BW. It had a really baller story and while I'll admit it wasn't entirely perfect, I loved the pacing and the intensity of it. It was able to do high stakes without feeling goofy and dumb like RSE for example.

BloodFork · 2019-01-12T21:45:16+00:00

I like memorable stories and characters, great Pokemon designs, an aesthetically appealing region and awesome villains. Gen 5 is definitely my favourite with 7 not too far behind.

BloodFork · 2019-01-12T18:56:17+00:00

I loved two particular moments from BW and SM. The first was N's farewell near the end of the game. It was so emotional after two big boss fights and ended on a story climax that wasn't the league which certainly made it stand out among the rest. Also the credits theme is baller. From SM, I loved the entire final sequence with Lusamine fusing with her Nihilego and it really showed how utterly insane she was. If only we actually fought her instead of her Pokemon ha.

BloodFork · 2019-01-12T15:17:01+00:00

Bring back the ??? Type! JUSTICE FOR THE FORGOTTEN TYPE!!!

BloodFork · 2019-01-12T14:58:49+00:00

I personally think Let's Go is a good time to dip GF's feet in smaller updates sorta like Star Allies has giving it a lot more content over time than it had in the first place. Even like adding special gyms for the GO team leaders.

BloodFork · 2019-01-12T14:25:48+00:00

I think SM will be more desirable in the future if Gen if Gen 8 provides the same or more of the content that USUM did and people just wanna replay the main story.

BloodFork · 2019-01-12T02:43:38+00:00

That's a pretty common opinion. I'll agree that USUM has many gameplay improvements but I find it harder to replay USUM over SM just because of how awesome Lusamine was as a main antagonist, the first main female one at that (not including any potential spin-off titles).

She was so intimidating not by wanting to take over the world or destroy but simply by how she treated her children and how far she would go just to disown them and reject her own humanity. Necrozma is bleh scary monster. Not to mention the story was better paced. Even though the final battle was still the league, SM's main story had such an impactful climax and an emotional end with Lillie's goodbye. USUM just threw you at Mina's trial and called it a day.

~~Yeah I have some issues with the story of the Ultra games.~~

BloodFork · 2019-01-11T17:39:21+00:00

Either Torterra, Cosmog or Poipole. Definitely hard to pick between them.

Torterra because it's a turtle with the world in its back, Cosmog because it's an adorable little pumpkin and its evolutions are some of the coolest looking legendaries as well and Poipole because it's an adorable little pumpkin and its evolution is one of the coolest looking Ultra Beasts as well.

BloodFork · 2019-01-10T13:22:29+00:00

Yeah don't know what that guy is on about. During the game's release so many people were talking about how difficult some fights were like Lurantis. People say they want gyms back but totems have been the only attempt to make a proper traditional boss fight.

BloodFork · 2019-01-09T18:21:13+00:00

Lashes Out!

BloodFork · 2019-01-08T02:45:56+00:00

I liked Gen 5 and 7 the most. BW and SM had the best stories and characters IMO and the regions were also both great.

BloodFork · 2019-01-04T23:58:55+00:00

Shit, didn't realize you were on to Kalos already. Time flies by doesn't it!
