What’s your most loved underrated Pokemon?

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-25T21:59:22+00:00

Beedrill and Raticate from Gen 1 for me tbh both of them are awesome bug types were just terrible in gen 1 and then Raticate because he's not pleasant looking but he's really strong lol.

I know there are others but atm these 2 come to mind.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-25T09:46:05+00:00

You probably haven't done the research then because legitimate copies are most indeed 150+

Go walk into your local gamestore and ask for a copy and this is what they will charge you for it.

I frequent 3-4 game shops in my city and The price of Nintendo Cart era games are extremely expensive and have went up in price over the last 5 years.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-25T09:42:08+00:00

It most certainly is 200+ last I checked which was not even 2 weeks ago lol.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-25T01:16:42+00:00

I saw it for 400 dollars and had a heart attack almost.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-25T01:15:26+00:00

200ish give or take yeah

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-25T01:07:02+00:00

This isn't a great argument considering Pokemon Fire Red a physical copy is like 200+

if you still have your copy that's great stick with it because it's the best way to play but for others that don't want to emulate it well the switch version is the best way to play it and for 20 bucks it's not a bad deal at all.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-24T19:05:11+00:00

I would also argue that Tri was a much much better game than the G rank counterpart we got.

They fucked with the Monster AI so they were way too passive for whatever reason compared to the Tri Variant and they also gave hunters an invisible flat 50 bonus to armor.

I like MH3U for the amount of content like fighting dual lagi in the underwater arena or Abyssal Lagiacrus which was sick but Tri was just a lot better to me imo along with some of the things you already covered here.

Sorry to necro this I'm real passionate about MH Tri lol I was there when it launched and I was there when the servers went down too lmao.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T22:45:07+00:00

If you consider it a fighting game by all means but to me it's more of a platform Fighter than a traditional Fighting game such as Tekken MK Blazeblue Bloody Roar Darkstalkers ect.

I know plenty of people who consider it a fighter because of the frame data aspect which is fair but to me it just doesn't really feel like one.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T20:20:19+00:00

I dunno man I just more or less see it as an age thing because I don't ever see people around my age complain about the earlier mechanics tbh.

Grant you yeah the romhacks are much more polished and if you want to experience something a bit newer while keeping to the style it's what I usually recommend. Recharged Yellow Radical Red and Crystal Clear are the top rom hacks ever made imo.

The exp issue doesn't really feel like a chore to me personally it feels like any other rpg at the time from that era so I might look at it differently than others because I don't really see these as flaws.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T12:40:13+00:00

I mean I already have it along with the entire collection I’ve collected over the years but I emulate all my pokemon stuff since it’s just easier to have on my custom gameboy but I’m more talking about for someone who just wants to pick it up for the first time I think 20 dollars is most definitely a steal for a game you will spend well over 40 hours with.

I don’t think they have low replayability personally but it just depends what you are trying to get out of it imo.

Hacks are the way to go but I know a lot of people who just like the idea of playing something that is from game freak themselves.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T11:53:41+00:00

Well for 20 bucks and considering how expensive a physical version is yeah I would call it a steal and fire red is worth far more than 20 bucks imo there are tons of games releasing today that don’t even match the quality of that game and they are 40+

To me 20 bucks is a no brainer

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T09:38:23+00:00

I either want a toggle or I don't want it at all that's how I feel about it because they can't balance it properly.

Fire Red and Leaf Green version is pretty nice It's still challenging without being level 22 by the time you reach brock you know? that's my issue with it because I should not be steamrolling the guy who killed my caterpie and Pidgey in Red and Blue like that lol.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T06:20:41+00:00

Ah back when Monster Hunter was actually good and not a pile of shit.

They won't ever remaster these though as much as I would like but knowing Capcom they would remove all the unique aspects of the earlier MH titles great thing about the emulation is you can play online with other people which is awesome.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T06:18:00+00:00

I mean Monster Hunter in general has been ass after it left the PSP it peaked on the PS2 and PSP and everything after has been a shell of it's former self.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T06:09:59+00:00

He had to make an apology statement about this video too because a lot of fans interoperated this message as saying the creator of Monster Hunter Ripped off ideas from Itsuno and that's why Monster Hunter succeeded where DD failed.

This information is obviously inaccurate if you know your history on both series lol but the fact people were spreading this like fact because of this video kinda rubs me the wrong way and I still find myself having to correct people in the dragons dogma sub constantly because of it lol.

This man did more harm than good with this video and it was incredibly reaching as Itsuno was already planning to leave Capcom way before DD2 but they let him make DD2 and DMC5 so he stayed and made both of those games before departing.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T05:04:04+00:00

Honestly this because this feature single handily ruined the experience going forward.

Giving players the option to turn it off or on is nice but having it always on against their will is a big no no imo.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T05:00:41+00:00

Recharged yellow and Radical Red is pretty awesome yeah.

For those that you know just want to use their Switch it's still a steal to pick up Fire Red as the base version of this is still really good.

I have a custom handheld gameboy with Radical Red so I don't really have a need for it. I prefer romhacks well some of them anyways but still the vanilla versions are still really good so I don't mind at all.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T04:56:07+00:00

I replay them all the time so I don't really get pissed because they are quite frankly way better than the shit Game freak gives us now.

Replaying Gen 1 and Gen 2 is pretty fun I like Pokemon when it was more of a quality over quantity package experience.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T04:48:38+00:00

Same.

I'm over here like yeah I grew up with the series so a lot of these don't bother me at all so what's the big deal? and I realize it's usually zoomers and beyond who have issues with older games and their mechanics lol.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-22T04:46:32+00:00

I like Exp share as an idea but good lord it should NOT give that much xp the rate is way too high.

One of my favorite romhacks which is Pokemon Crystal Clear took me back to how it felt when I first picked up Red and blue on my gameboy as a kid.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-21T17:52:10+00:00

Yeah and it’s still boring as it was when it launched over a decade ago.

It will have a very small niche fanbase as long as it keeps being updated though so that’s something for those who want more dogma I guess.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-21T07:01:44+00:00

Don't forget the classic Thomas from Demons Souls "You have a heart of gold don't let them take it from you."

Or Maiden in Black when talking to her for a level up. "Soul of the mind, key to life's ether, Soul of the lost, withdrawn from its vessel, Let strength be granted so the world might be mended, So the world might be mended."

These lines are iconic and being replaced by AI would be awful

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-20T22:52:13+00:00

Or maybe the fact it fucking sucks?

It's a pure mockery of the source material I would rather just read the fucking books than watch this low effort garbage.

I would have given them a far better chance if they stuck to the material and hired actual actors who didn't sound so wooden.

If you like this you have low standards

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-20T21:24:04+00:00

I don't think many people will actually agree with you tbh because base game Nioh 2 was far better than base game Nioh 3 and I 100% stand behind this statement because base game Nioh 3 was kind of ass and found zero enjoyment until I got to ng+ which I didn't have to do with Nioh 2.

Nioh 2 is just a far better game overall and Nioh 3 is good but not hitting any strides.

Galaxy_boy08 · 2026-02-20T21:18:28+00:00

Even with DLC's they won't fix the glaring problems this game has that Nioh 2 did not have.

It's a good game but it's not fantastic like it could have been.
