Glitch City Laboratories Archives

• Lame plotRise of the MacGuffins. Distortion World had nothing of interest. Im a sucker for laboratory creation plots and they couldnt even hold my interest for that (Red Chain).
  
• Lame graphicsMy idea of animation is not two frames plus hardware scaling, and the overworlds sucked (3D too).
  
• Lame charactersRival and Cynthia couldnt hold a candle to Silver and Lance. Archie/Maxie and Rocket Executives were more interesting than Cyrus. Even Giovanni felt more fleshed out than Cyrus. Anything with Rowan felt incredibly childish and condescending.

This is why.
Because a website told you to?

Genius Sonority makes inferior games.
Pokemon XD was good, kthx

That leaves Game Freak, who seems more interested in remaking than doing anything interesting or new.
I'm still sure they do so because the fanbase expects them to.

The last Pokémon game I bought was FireRed. I bought it on release expecting it to be fun, but I quickly grew boredtheres nothing to do once you beat the game.
Other than EV training, breeding, and all that competitive stuff. Or hell, even rebattling the E4 is something.

Then I picked up Crystal for the first time in a few years and fell in love with it all over again.

The only new release Ive tried since then was Platinum, which was incredibly boring. (Borrowed of course; I dont buy games without knowing theyre good.)

  Cynthia has boobs and Lance doesn't. Nuff said. Also, Silver fits more of the definition of asshole than rival. Rivals are people who compete against you, assholes are people who punch you when you talk to them and call you weak after you beat them.
  

First gen was really pretty boring
somewhat agreed
, and an obvious moneygrab. Second gen was the high point IMO, and that isnt just nostalgia speakingmassive improvements over the previous games, and Crystal actually put something newer than G/S on the table (Mobile Adapter, not that it ever made it here)
Crystal added the least features to its counterparts compared to the other third games. Celebi event and more easily catchable Suicune would be about it.
. I had a lot of fun with Ruby and Sapphire,
No love for Emerald? :(
but still prefer GSC (that is due to nostalgia, since R/S are great games). FR/LG sucked. Platinum sucked. I have no doubt that HGSS suckfrom what I hear theyre just GSC with the D/P engine, and not adding anything new.
Nothing new at all… other than, you know, the DPP engine. Which is quite different from GSC's.

Drill Dozer was great but nobody bought it. Game Freak wont make any more fun games like it because legions of Pokémon fans will buy all three identical versions of any shovelware title with Pocket Monsters slapped on the box. I complain because these people take away my chance at a new and good game.
A corporation only making games that are profitable? Oh noes!

Best Pokémon experience: Crystal with Pokémon Stadium 2. IMO.

But something is missing. That spark that made Pokémon something special. All we have left is the expected.

I'm kinda with you on that! Pokemon is begining a new age of sucking!

LIES ALL LIES!!! XD Seriously though, I agree with Zowayix on this. Pokemon XD and Colosseum were really great games and I'd listen to their Instrumentated soundtrack over the Fourth Generation MIDI Bullshit anyday.

Not really. They are more interested in making new games with lackluster new features for their new generation than anything else. That and punishing Cheating device users.

The last Pokémon game I bought was FireRed. I bought it on release expecting it to be fun, but I quickly grew boredtheres nothing to do once you beat the game. Then I picked up Crystal for the first time in a few years and fell in love with it all over again.

I bought the newer games because I thought they would be fun. I cheated to get through most of Pearl and in Platinum I'm still stuck on Maylene's fucking gym due to the Stupid punching bag puzzle.

I agree with the suckiness of Rowan and some of the other characters (i.e. Rival) but I think Cynthia was alright. Of course its most likely because I find her character attractive and Masturbate to it on occasions.

I think HG/SS will be alright compared to DPP. Mainly because Generation II is the Generation I spent the most time with in my youth and I want to relive that feeling of playing it over again. Plus your lead pokemon now follows you around which seems pretty cool.

Haven't played it but I know about it.

I kind of agree. Although GB Tower in Pokemon Stadium 2 is as slow as hell.

Mystery Dungeon Sky came out today, I'm too lazy to get it.
