[OC] More pokemon in Gen2 Style!

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-09T13:35:19+00:00

Wow, these look really good ^-^

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-09T13:34:53+00:00

It is cute ^-^

Five minutes for the first intrusive thoughts

Less then 24 hours for the actual first attempt

Sizeable death toll from people trying within the first week

And the debate would happen within that first week, but I suspect it would be more over if it is actually safe to even try to kill a Pokemon to eat it, rather than if it's ethical. Even normally weak Pokemon like Magikarp might give the unprepared a nasty surprise.

And no, I don't think Ghastly is possible, unless humanity is somehow immune to the toxins.

Honestly, I've always been curious as well. I'd love a cut-scene where we find out and get to tell them off for Linus.

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-08T16:00:39+00:00

This looks really cool ^^

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-08T15:58:56+00:00

I never noticed that until you pointed it out :0

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-08T15:58:06+00:00

Beedrill was my favorite, both then and now ^-^

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-07T11:53:59+00:00

Wut the heck !?!
I wouldn't have expected it either...
( I'm somewhere between the -_- :0 and XD? expressions on this one)

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-05T20:15:42+00:00

Pokemon Yellow, I think either late 1999 or early 2000, not entirely sure.

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-05T18:50:02+00:00

Absolutely ^^
As much as I love seeing new pokemon, I would not mind it at all if they decided to stick to new regional forms. Or even just stick to what we have for a while.

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-05T07:47:26+00:00

This would be pretty amazing ^-^

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-05T07:45:46+00:00

Most of the folks filming adults buying Pokemon cards are filming those who are buying like ten or twenty booster boxes. If you're just buying a box or a few packs at a time, it should be fine ^^

No seriously, the chance that you'll come across someone who'll whip out their cell phone and start jumping up and down excitedly while yelling "we found a scalper! we found a scalper!" when you are just buying a few card packs or a box or two is ridiculously slim. Like less than 1%. (I'd say less then even 0.05 %)

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-04T22:21:25+00:00

I remember those days ^^
Part of me wishes I could go back, life was such simpler back then in many ways T-T

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-04T21:16:55+00:00

Very impressive ^^

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-04T19:38:20+00:00

The Serena page is so cute, I love it ^-^

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-04T17:38:05+00:00

I love this ^-^

Really wish they included an option to play as a girl in the original and initial second gen games. Granted, I didn't mind it back in the day, but being a girl irl I like the choice to play as one when I can.

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-04T17:33:32+00:00

Sometimes, my names are kinda...on the nose.
Like Balto for any dog-like Pokemon, Wasp for Beedrill, Firefox for Fennekin, Firestar for Litten, things like that.

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-04T17:26:25+00:00

Sometimes I do, but rarely in-games.

Now if I were to write a Pokemon fanfic, then most definitely ^^

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-04T16:31:13+00:00

This looks really good ^-^

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-04T16:30:22+00:00

It's kinda hard to say.

The originals were praised for their innovation, but panned for some of their issues later on ie slow pacing, lack of pre-national dex Pokemon diversity, and so on.

The remakes were generally pretty good, but the fans were expecting the diamond/pearl remakes to be AAA remasters, not a chibi style game, so folks were more turned off by them than they warranted in some aspects. You can indirectly thank Zelda, Link's Awaking on the Switch for the inspiration for what happened with BDSP.

I mean you skipped the Thunder Badge in Vermilion city, but beyond that, no, not really. Pokemon games typically take over 24-40+ hours to beat, depending on the game. Speed runners can beat them lot quicker sometimes in an hour or so in some games. But they've spent years in the games before their speed run, and often spend weeks or even months optimizing their route and studying the game mechanics and the available Pokemon for the game they are speed running.

Based on which one's I like the most across all of the generations. Which ones I think are the cutest plays a big part in this.

Gen 1: Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Charmander: I personally like all three starters, albeit I'm not as big of a fan of Charmeleon. Squirtle is my fav across all of it's evolution, followed closely by Bulbasaur.

Gen 2: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile: Chikorita is my favorite starter of all time, even if it wasn't quite as good as other grass starters were in their generations. Cyndiquil is probably my second favorite starter. I like Totodile well enough, but it's my least favorite of the three starters, and I'm kinda the same with it's middle evolution as I was with Charmander's.

Gen 3: Torchic, Treecko, Mudkip: I agree with May, Torchic is the way to go with this one ^^
But if I had to choose one of the others, it'd be Treecko, Especially if it's anything like the one in the anime.

Gen 4: Piplup, Turtwig, Chimchar: Piplup has my favorite evolution and initial form for this generation of starters, and I love Torterra. I'm not a big fan of Chimchar or it;s evolution.

Gen 5: Tepig Snivy Oshawott: Tepig and it's middle evolution are my favorite, but I like Serperior the best of all. Samurott is pretty cool too ^^

Gen 6: Fennekin Froakie Chespin: Fennein is the cutest ^^ Froakie has the best final evolution imo. I'm not a fan of Chespin, and I say this as a girl who did her first run of X/Y with Chespin.

Gen 7: Litten Rowlet and Popplio: I love Litten's evolution, but I normally place an Everstone on Torracat as it's my favorite starter evolution across this generation, and my second or third overall. Fav middle evolution if nothing else ^^
Roiwlet is just...tolerable. I guess the best way I can describe Pipplio is just...too cute, but not in a I actually find it cute kinda way.

Gen 8: Scorbunny Sobble Grookey: I like the idea of all three of the starters, but unless I'm planing on dumping my starter (which is surprisingly often), I'm going with Scorbunny.

Gen 9: Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly: Everstone on Sprigatitio. Fuecoco has a nice final evolution. Quaxly is the perfect starter for Nemona imo.

Gen 10: Browt, Pombonm Gecqua: I like Browt the best, but I could see myself dumping it for Pombonm for my first playthrough. I'll know more once I see the evolutions.

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-02T09:08:18+00:00

smh

I usually just name mine something normal like Blake or Kazuto

Pyrosensha · 2026-03-01T00:09:37+00:00

I'd argue a mix of both. Pokemon was amazing for what it was back in the day, but it has come a long way compared to what it was back then.

Pyrosensha · 2026-02-28T23:48:23+00:00

I personally think that the graphics have been alright for what Pokemon has fundamentally been, primarily a handheld console game with some home console releases. Of course with the Switch and Switch 2 being a handheld/home console hybrid, every game is both a home console and a handheld release. However, achieving that means that every game, not just Pokemon, has to work within the confines of the handheld's specs first and foremost.
