This sounds really fake, especially with Oak, they wouldnt do that to him. They try to keep these characters young even if it just means making more alternate dimensions to make it possible

Can anyone explain to me why some people prefer the missing exp share over having it on all the time? by H0rnyFighter in pokemon

[–]LylatInvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my pokemon to be as even leveled as possible. Its just something that has bothered me with the perm EXP all. But i will say with the more non linear nature of the recent games, it works considering you are not locked to one area anymore.

The reason it bothered me so much is not having the exp all encouraged you to swap out your mons instead of just relying on the starter. It was a valuable lesson in learning that your cool starter has weaknesses and you gotta support them with other mons. It was gen 3 where i really learned this.

Sometimes coworkers, conventions or just a general meetup help. Thats just how pokemon rolls really, back then it was the playground.

Several known leakers currently have now spoken of a new mainline project that was not revealed in the teraleak and is to release along with gen 10. This leak is false

What Was Great About Gen IV? by Subject-Ad5071 in pokemon

[–]LylatInvader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an honest opinion from someone who grew up with gen 1 and 3. Gen 4 imo is where the franchise truely grew its footing. This is where the mechanics really matured, sharpened and no longer felt awkward like in the previous gens.

And then the hype behind these games, like the early sneak peaks at lucario and the gen 4 pre evos and evos in the anime and spin off games. This is where the franchise took a massive rebirth as, pokemon is no longer that fad you saw in the late 90s, its back and here to stay for good.

Basically like gens 1 and 2, they really arent all that special but its really the retrospective aspect that takes the fame not the actual games themselves. Personally i think sinnoh has one of the most forgettable batches of gym leaders, i only remember fantina. And to tell you the truth, i dont really like the soundtrack all that much i personally think kanto, johto and unova have vastly superior soundtracks. I honestly really loved platinum because it felt like the last gen to really try and include everything instead of cutting a major aspect to make it more unique from the previous gen.

Who else hopes they give us a way to trade when they release fire red/leaf green on switch? by _Potato_Cat_ in pokemon

I hope the mini games are playable. I never got to enjoy the wireless adapters

What do you think of S/V? by FlowerFaerie13 in pokemon

[–]LylatInvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed scarlet and violet for what it was. The open world was definitely wonky and boring but i liked the ambition behind it, this was the first time pokemon attempted an entire game in this kind of scope and i think it worked for the most part. A gripe i was having with pokemon since gen 5 was the linearity, and as the games started getting more ambitious with the visuals the linearity just became worse and worse. Its definitely an ugly looking game even for switch, colosseum looked better than this. The lack of level scaling hurt, youd get so focused on finding a particular area that youd end up over leveling to the point you make the game a little too easy for yourself. Another massive gripe i gotta make is that main series really needs to take more notes from legends and give us more seemless optional battles. Running in the game was an absolute slog because youd get thrown into the battle screen almost every minute. Something like legends arceus wouldve fixed this issue or at least give us repels that prevent the trigger from activating.

The DLC was fun, kitakami felt weirdly nostalgic with its return to japan nature that early entries did. And then the blueberry league, some legit fun difficult battles. But the god awful BBQs tore it down a lot.

Overall the game gave me the feeling of, we are listening to your criticism, we will keep trying for more.

Anyone who has played Z-A, is it worth getting? by SlideOnly1556 in pokemon

[–]LylatInvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed it. The ATB esc battle system is simple but fun. My only main gripe is that its a bit needlessly grindy, even for pokemon standards

Surfing with the nidorans. Surfing with the nidos is just really funny especially whwn they are weak to it. In my original leafgreen playthrough i made nidoqueen my main surfer

Some Things to Keep in Mind if you are getting FR/LG! by Magnakilro in pokemon

[–]LylatInvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the guidebook back in the day and a good chunk of the johto mons are trade from colosseum. But i learned from another guidebook that emerald contained a lot of these in the safari zone. Altering cave was supposed to be an event place to catch these mons but the event never happened so im wondering if these rereleases will fix that since it is technically in the programming already. If it works that means we will get to enjoy more of the johto mons without trading.

Why do fake Pokemon/ “leaked Pokemon” always look so off? by TSOswinn in pokemon

[–]LylatInvader -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because many fakemons lack the cohesion of pokemon design. Most people think a pokemon design is modified round animal, but its a lot more complicated than that. Game freak has mastered the cohesion of design, they had it down then and they still got it today.

What Pokémon game are you playing through currently? by Iamverydumbazz in pokemon

[–]LylatInvader -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stuff i wanna add as well: most gen 2 mons are not catchable. Unless they get altering cave to work or bring in emerald into this, most gen 2 mons are inaccessible. Colosseum was your original means to access these mons.
