Favorite from each gen:
I - Mew / Meowth / MissingNo.
II - Jumpluff / Corsola
III - Skitty (obv)
IV - Probably Drifloon
V- Reuniclus / Chandelure
VI- Klefki / Flabebe line
VII - Eh, not sure.
I've played since RB came out. I remember being a little kid and my brother, who knew I loved cats, told me about this new cartoon with a bunch of monsters, called Pokemon. That there was even a talking cat! I was all over that shit.
Then he showed me Red version on the Super Gameboy we'd gotten, and I was super hyped. I don't even remember when, but I began playing on his file and catching MissingNo.
(The best pokemon, obviously)
The rest is history.
For the most part, I like every gen, I feel like they all have something I like. But my all time favorite is probably Gen II, but I also really liked Gen V.

>>33729I’m pretty old so I got into the series when I was subscribed to Nintendo Power as a kid and got those little Pokémon Power mini-magazines they included when Pokémon Red and Blue were about to be released in the states.
My favorite generation is probably gen II probably because it’s the one I played the most and was just such a significant upgrade from the first one. My starter was Cyndaquil so Typholsion is probably the closest I have to a favorite Pokémon. I missed out on gens III and IV though and have been meaning to play those for a while.

I was aware of what pokemon is when i grew up but i never played the games bc we were too poor and 3rd world to have gaming consoles and the anime seemed too childish for me. then i really got into pokemon go when it came out (i still play lmao) and played moon and ultra sun when they came out. moon was alright but ultra sun was very boring and i felt like an adult playing a game for 8 year olds. I'm considering getting alpha ruby/omega sapphire once uni goes on winter break because a friend who's really into pokemon said it's her favourite and i don't want to be a fake fan that only plays pokemon go lol
anyways, my fav is tangela and i was quite upset when the cut 1st gen pokemon concepts came out earlier this year bc tangela's evolution looked mega cute

i'm obsessed with pokemon. primarily the first two gens as they're the most nostalgic for me, but i still play almost all the games (at least the new gens if not the gen-specific sequels they always get). i'll admit i forget the names of most of them past gen 2, but i still love pokemon so much! it's a huge part of my life.
my fave pokemon is bulbasaur (the whole line really), and my fave gen is pretty evenly split between 1 and 2. r/b/y was a masterpiece, g/s/c was a masterpiece that expanded. it's too hard for me to choose.
i will always hold pokemon close to my heart. have some nostalgia from a simpler time.

What's weird is having a favorite Pokemon from when you started playing (I started w/Red) and, like, I feel guilty changing it lol. So I like to have a top 5 for each generation.
I: Charmander (my first fav. It was also my favorite number–4. And the mascot of my favorite color. It was destiny). Flareon, Magneton, Haunter, and Gloom round out the rest.
II- Cyndaquil, Politoed, Lanturn, Magcargo, Porygon2
III-Mudkip, Skitty, Shiftry, Metang, Camerupt
IV- Empoleon, Luxray, Dusknoir, Toxicroak, Roserade
V-Eelektross, Chandelure, Swoobat, Audino, Trubbish
VI-Chesnaught, Litleo, Pyroar (yes, I'm counting them separate because I love both of them), Espurr, Klefki
VII-Litten, Rockruff, Mimikyu, Tsareena, Salazzle
My favorite gen is 2, 3 or 6. I really did not like 5 or 7. 5 was better when they released the sequels so you weren't bound to just Unova Pokemon, but I think I will always have negative memories towards it because an incel-tier guy asked me out by saying 'hey, will you check out my team?' and he had named them "Anon/will you/go/out/with/me". And that was… not good. Don't do that. Unless you absolutely know someone will say yes, don't do it.
I just haven't gotten around to liking gen 7. I finished Sun, never finished the sequel. I'm salty they didn't do any sequels for XY. Z was there… calling their name. But they didn't answer. They had way better trainer customization options than SM/USUM. Like. I just don't understand. XY brought back my love for Pokemon that was lost with BW. I know people say the plot was weak for it/mega evolutions suck, but I really enjoy the game every time I play through it. It's one of the games I'll do type-restriction challenge because they make it fairly easy to at least get half a team going at the start for various ones.
Remake-wise, I loved HGSS. So. Much. I loved having your lead follow you around and I loved Lyra's character design. It's a feel-good game for me. I liked the mini-game things that were next to the National Park.

>>33751>>33752I really loved to see a more character focused Pokemon story. The Pokemon world is so interesting and yet Nintendo does NOTHING with it. You can tell so many interesting stories in it and yet all the Pokemon anime movies are a cliche fest centering on Ash (who's not a very interesting protagonist). I wish we could get more stories like Detective Pikachu. It's sad that I have to dig for the few good Pokemon fanfic and fancomics (like It's a Hard Life) to experience a good story involving Pokemon (other than the movie, of course).
Weird to hear that the movie was too kiddy for someone. To me it was clear that just like PoGo, it was targeting grownass millenials AND their kids. The plot was obviously easy to understand, but there were plenty of things for adult pokemon fan to enjoy.

I fucking love Pikachu. He's the mascot and the first that I saw when the first season would play on TV. I felt like a basic bitch for loving Pikachu when a lot of my friends around me would pick other pokemon as their favorite, but now as an adult I don't give a fuck because Pikachu has the most merch anyway so I'm never short of finding cute Pikachu things (both a blessing and a curse).
My dad bought and let me play the first generation of games when I was like… 4 years old or some shit but I didn't get too far (up to where the Snorlax is blocking the path) because I could barely read and understand what I was reading lol. The first game that I finished from beginning to end was ruby/emerald, but I didn't play any of the games before or after that until Sun/Moon came out. Sun/Moon was the first pokemon game I actually bought for myself with my own earned money lol. I really want to get alpha sapphire/omega ruby to play some day!
TV show wise, I fucking love the Sun and Moon series. Absolutely love it. All the seasons are really fun to watch and I'll watch them whenever I happen to catch them on TV, but Sun and Moon was the first one where I really watched all the episodes in order (I'm very much behind now, but I would watch it weekly when it first started airing for the first few weeks). I loved how much more slice of life-y it is, and even if people shit on the art style, I think it's fucking cute as shit and I love those moments where they switch from really simply and cutesy, to more detailed and ugly faces lol. At some point I was watching it subbed because the dub was taking too long to come out, and even though Netflix has it now, I'm too used to the subbed to want to switch back to the dub (which is only what they have). The OP/ED are cute as fucking shit and I downloaded the songs and sing along to them too. I haven't watched Detective Pikachu yet but I want to so bad.

I was into pokemon from 5 up until a few years ago (grew out of it? idk). At that age I just watched the show and had toys. I was only allowed to start playing at 10 when my mom bought me a gameboy advance and leafgreen for me for my birthday. It was a really fond memory.
Growing up my favourite games were by far the Mystery Dungeon ones, the humour appealed to my young self and I preferred interacting with pokemon as characters rather than owning/training them. I bought the newer PMD game a couple years back and I still haven't finished it since I'm just not into vidya much anymore.
Anyway Mime Jr. is cutest pokemon and you can't change my mind. Sinnoh/gen 4 will always be close to my heart since I played Pearl and PMD:EoT to death when they came out. Most of my other favourites (Darkrai, Gallade, Vespiquen) are also from that gen. Popplio is fave starter though.
Thinking about it makes me want to play again, but I know I don't have the energy anymore. Sad!

>>33758Is Sun and Moon worth watching for someone who loves Pokemon world and slice of life, but isn't keen on typical Ash and Team R antics?

No. 33762
>>33761Hm, that's tough to say. I only got about 15 episodes in before outside factors stopped me from watching/keeping up, so take my words with a grain of salt I guess lol.
As for Ash, at least the episodes I've watched, there's a good dose of focus on the other characters. The very first few in the series are centered around Ash and one of the companions in the group so you get to know them a bit more. I personally don't find that Ash overtakes the show that much this season because they have to balance out such a big main cast (5 companions instead of just 2 or 3). Also, I know pokemon is all about battling, but I loved that so far I've seen minimal pokemon battles lol. There's a big one in the beginning and I've seen the Brock/Misty scenes that come up later on, but I don't think there's a whole lot of it, mostly just school and life antics.
For team rocket, they didn't really seem to cause all that much trouble. There's like one episode I watched where they fucked shit up, but the majority of it is them dealing with the Bewear who's basically captured them, and I think the scenes with them dealing with Bewear are really funny and entertaining to watch. Most of the shots I was thinking about when I mentioned the "changing from a cutesy, simple style to a more detailed ugly face" were of Team R.
That said, I hope you decide to pick it up and watch it anon! I love it so much.

What do you guys think of the recent outrage over no National Dex sparking the hate against Game Freak? To be honest this post (
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/bzyzfo/game_freak_pok%C3%A9mon_and_lack_of_ambition_this_is_a/ ) in particular
triggered me because of the complete disregard of Mega Evolutions being all "just a little stat boost nbd".
>809 pokemon and Mega Rayquaza still banned. Sorry for ruining this thread with sperging, I know everyone here wants to talk about cute pokemon…>>34561Dynamaxing raises the stats of a Pokemon as well as lets them use 'Max Moves' that they learn depending on what moves the Pokemon already knows. It only lasts 3 turns, but how I would see it as if a set-up Pokemon (like Ferrothorn) was Dynamaxed, it would give it an
even larger health stat and if moves like say (
Toxic) Spikes/Stealth Rock has a max version, your non dynamaxed Pokemon are already more than halfway to dead once they come in.

People were harassing GF so much over National Dex that they had to make a statement telling them to stop whining. Pretty sure this has only being posted through the American Twitter account too, proves what audience are being brats over it all.
The /r/Pokemon Reddit has gone into meltdown and there's multiple threads saying that everyone should cancel their preorders and boycott the games and if you do buy the games you are contributing to the downfall of Pokemon LMAOOOOOOOOO.

Everyone was praising how cool it looks but as soon as the dex was getting cut all of a sudden its "the game is lazy, the graphics are shit, it is underwhelming, Pokemon is dying off, etc." Pandering to the tard fans only care about being overpowered fucks and not the actual storyline of gameplay is idiotic and I'm glad they are taking a stance on it. And if you dare say you are still looking forward to it, you are a "bootlicking corporate shill" (actual insult I've seen used today).

The waifu pandering sucks so much. Every girl in this game is made for fucking hentai fanart, I swear. I'm so dissapointed, at least in Sun and Moon the waifu thing wasn't so explicit. It was there, but NOT EVERYWHERE.
Fuck lolis and thicc and everything. Why, just why.

>>63292Oh yeah the "women are evul musterminds that control you if u dont control them hurrrr durrr" one. I hate how she looks like a sex worker, who the fuck walks around with those huge ass heels.
I miss Pokémon Sun and Moon, really. It had lot of cute characters and strong women. There's not even a single female character I can recall being revelant to the story apart from Sonia and I'm already at the seventh gym. Or at least a female character with personality.
Idk, I'm thinking about dropping the game. Pokemon ended with Moon for me, and I think that's a nice farewell.

>>63345>what do you think about the art direction and character design for the pokemon? imo some of them look good, some look out of place even if they look good, some are fugly, more than in the previous generationsI actually liked a lot of designs and art from this generation. I tend to lean towards the “cutesy” designs and this generation had a lot of that. I think a lot of details in some designs are clever too. Like Knickit. As for character design, while I do like a lot of the art and Marnie and Hops designs, Leon and some of the others was meh for me. I think it’s split. I liked 50-60% of character designs.
>is the game balanced around the fact that you can't turn off the exp share? or is the game trying to encourage you to rotate between a bunch of pokemon/parties thanks to the pc being accessible all the time?Compared to Sun and Moon they really toned it down quite a bit. Even after wandering around for a few hours, fighting every trainer I ran into, and catching random Pokémon, I was still either around the same level as the gym leaders and even below the Champion. It was noticeably tougher. In a good way.
>does the game lag or crash? if yes, how often? I was annoyed everytime I had to do double battles or beat totem pokemon in SM because of how much slower the game got everytime. It even crashed once.Offline, there’s no lag that I’ve ever noticed in gameplay. There was a noticeable lag in 2 cutscenes in the game but considering some of the other bugs people have found in the cutscenes, I’m sure they’ll do an update for it. Online in the wild area is definitely laggy. Then again, it’s an MMO styled area with no servers in place on a new game. Don’t know what they expected there. Local battles and raids have no lag either. So mainly just online.
>are there proper dungeons and routes? or is it more linear like the 3DS games?This is what I was waiting to answer. In my opinion, this game is very nonlinear with the wild area feature. It doesn’t push you to leave it to continue the story since the wild Pokémon stay around if not above your level. You could spend forever in just that area catching a shit ton of Pokémon and camping. The main story itself is pretty standard, they direct you from gym to gym, but they let you explore wherever you want to go in between.
>how intrusive is the story? I hated being interrupted in SM and USUM every 10 minutes because of cutscenesWhen I was trying to speed through the story, it definitely was being stopped every 10 minutes to have another conversation with an NPC. Granted as previously stated, they don’t really hand hold you through the game and don’t make it clear how long you’re meant to spend in the wild area or through routes. I feel like if I had broken it up by doing that stuff in between gyms, I wouldn’t have felt stopped so much. But I must admit as much as I loved the game, the story felt like it was yo-yoing me. It was a bit irritating being dragged back and forth.
>do you have more info about the bug that makes some Switch brick? I keep seeing different info that contradict each others, hopefully none of you had to experience thisYeah. No one I know including myself has ever experienced this. Again, the only bugs I’ve come across are just silly art bugs that are easy fixes for them like Hops mouth not being filled in.
In short, I really liked the game and would say that it’s probably in my top 3. I liked all the new features it brought and I can see myself really clocking in a lot of hours. I did a standard run and finished in at 24 hours.

>>63399Ugh, ~sexy~ pokemon are a disgrace. It’s fucked up that nowadays they’re clearly intentionally designing them with r34 crowd in mind. It did start with gardevoir, which I don’t think was entirely intentional, but after it caused a huge wave of hentai fan art, they must’ve realized there’s money to be made in pandering to lonely nerds, because in every generation onwards you’ve got at least one pokemon that’s clearly coded as female and attractive, like lopunny or tsareena. Although I don’t think there ever was anything as blatant as T&A here.
Yes, I realize there’s plenty of manchildren playing these games, but they’re still marketed primarily to kids, with kid protagonists, ffs.

New Pokemon direct this morning. Mostly covered sword/sheild paid dlc, but what really got me excited was the beginning of the direct- remake of Mystery Dungeon rescuers! I would have liked a new game, but the art style is so adorable and true to the games art that I'll take it. Demos out now

What does everyone think about the Pokemon news announced today? I think the gen 4 remakes look like dog shit but I am excited for whatever that Arceus game is
No. 129680
>>129670this has interesting potential but the fact they're showing it off now worries me. It tells me this is near the final product rather than proof of concept, and my concerns are:
- implied 1 town area, the rest of the map is a large empty open world
- no gyms or league, therefore no battling goals, literally just a capture and explore game (which could be solid
if the world design delivers, and I don't think it will from the trailer)
- graphics aren't incredible, which I mean Pokemon isn't known for high quality graphics anyway
- bigger concern is poor framerate. Rewatch the trailer and that Chingling and Chimchar was painful, barely hitting 10fps by the look of it. So I worry this game will have poor performance.
I hope to see more at a higher level of development, but I'm doubtful.

>>129670Im so upset at the gen 4 remake. I expected the bare minimum, just a gen 4 remake with pokemon lets go graphics. But instead we get this ugly ass chibi models and the shadows in the game are whack everything looks so dark. I hate the people who are defending this decision by saying that its follows the game more by having those chibi models. Pokemon lets go and the gen 3 remakes also didnt have that shit so why the hell would we want it with gen 4? Barrys chibi models hair looks so bad and when they run they look like lego.
I hope legends wont be shit, they still have a year but the trailer gives me low expectations because it seemed laggy as hell and really empty.

>>129680I'm concerned about the performance as well. I'm not sure if Game Freak has it in them to create a well-designed open world game that isn't an unpolished lag fest like the wild areas in SWSH. Even BOTW still had framerate issues. Hopefully the game gets more polished before release because as is it looks pretty rough in terms of visuals.

>>136120Is animal ok? I really want a pug-inspired Pokemon (Snubbul is clearly a bulldog, and not even a french one).

I forgot there was a dedicated Pokemon thread. I already posted about it on the vidya thread, but if someone has a Zacian I'd like to trade because I only need this one to complete my pokedex in Shield. I can give it back to you right after trading of course.
By the way, I'm seriously thinking about replaying all the mainline games (except Shield since I'm not completely done with it). I've been thinking about some habits I had when playing long ago, before I got used to playing other JRPGs. Like how I always kept shitmons until the end because I started with them, they were cute and using more powerful pokemon I also liked felt like cheating. Or how I gave HMs to all my pokemon instead of having a HM slave, or how I sometimes avoided doing some of the side quests like the contests in Platinum then again I did too many contests in Emerald, the Pokeathlon in Soul Silver or the Hollywood stuff in Black 2. I'm also thinking about transfering most of my pokemon from older games in the Pokemon Bank, but I hate how long it takes to transfer from gen 4 to gen 5 first.
