If it wasn't in Red or Blue, it's not a real pokemon to me. Bro, to me that's like saying that anything past CoD1 is worthless Those two aren't comparable. Pokemon's sequels are supplementary. Each installment expands the Pokemon world, a world you explore at your own pace, adding more content, improving upon and slightly deepen the existing mechanics. It is a game series about a world, and each new entry adds more to that world. Each game adds to the last. You aren't losing Pokeymans 1 through 151 when you go to Pocket Monsters 152-649 - they are added in with them. It is an ever expansive series, the latest will always be the "best", the one with all of the content. When you want to get into Pokemon these days, you just get the latest one and you are not at a loss. Call of Duty however is isolated, instanced. It is a game series where it dumps nearly all of the previous game's content for "new" stuff, even if that new stuff is just there to take the place of and perform the same role as the former. They maintain the core mechanics so you could recognize it as "another game in the same series", but othewise, they cut out and replace parts to make it appear new. The most symbolic example - the MP44 in COD4. It was there as a farewell to the WW2 Call of Duty games. There are not many reasons why one would stick with a previous "generation" of Pokemon. (but many reasons one would stay with a previous COD) Perhaps because they could not transfer their original Poker Monstars from the first few games to the most recent. Or they like Dawn over Hilda.I dunno. I only ever played Pokemon Blue.

I dunno. I only ever played Pokemon Blue. Wahahah! Missingno, best glitch pokemon, I had Yellow version Missingno. It never corrupted my game file, and it gave me 128 Rare Candies/Master Balls, but it did corrupt all my pokemon once into Lv.100 Golducks that knew Petal Dance 4 times. I like the older games better for its fun glitches like these.

If we're going with playable characters, Red and Hilda are definitely the coolest male and female trainers that the player can choose.
If we're going with NPC's though, N is BY FAR the coolest male trainer with Cynthia or Iris being the coolest female trainers.

well, alot of absols are banded, so I can feint the band, and when they send in something that they think can sponge say a dark type hit, I kill them, also, it ups absol's survivability alot. The two choice banders are useful, as relicanth really needs the band to kill amoonguss, and eelektross wants the band in order to have a stronger U-Turn

You guys and new-fags ruin everything Why can't we all just accept that all Pokémon gens are awesome? Is that really so difficult? I didn't say that the new games were bad. In fact, I bought Black and White for my niece and nephew, and I've played some of Leaf Green or Ruby or whatever some of the other ones are. I'm just saying that I feel 150 pokemon was more than plenty, and the addition of several hundred doesn't add anything to the experience. It felt like the new pokemon were just used to cash in on the pokemon name so people would have an excuse to buy the new ones. Also, I'm not sure if you're aware of where the term "faggot" comes from, but it is a term used for kindling. Back during the days where people were burned for witchcraft, they'd also burn homosexuals, but instead of taking the effort tying them up like they did the "witches", they just threw them at the bottom of the fire to act as kindling. I'm not saying that it bothers me that you're using the word, but somebody somewhere someday might be offended.

He's just doing that thing that 4chan does where they throw fag onto the end of some noun or adjective to describe someone. He's not meaning it in the sense you think >_> Hell my brother's gay and he calls people faggots all the time. I know he didn't mean to offend anyone, but your diction has a lot to do with how people view you as a human being. I just think the world would be a better place if we stopped using the terms "faggot" and "gay" as insults, that's all.

Okay, let's set some things straight and then forget about the whole thing so we don't spark any arguments: 1. I've heard the 'bundle of sticks' thing soo many times - I'm fully aware of that. 2. I thought "nostalgia-fag" was the 'accepted term' of people who only care for Gen 1; which I assumed you were because of your comment. My apologies for assuming 3. I don't hate gays and I respect that some people might be offended by 'faggot'. Pro-tip: I only use the term 'fag' or 'faggot' jokingly to mock other people who use it offensively. Confusing maybe, but the point is I never use it offensively. 4. I like alot of the new Pokémon. Adding hundreds over the years was more than necessary IMO. Having 150 for this length of time would have been soo repetitive. Sorry for any trouble I caused over here. I rarely deviate from the COD section of these forums

Oh god... here we go again with the flame war.
On topic, I'm not really into competitive Pokeymans but I spent most of my childhood playing it. I know I'd be horrible at it anyway because I would use all of my strategies from singleplayer a.k.a. 5 Steel type tanks and a Volcarona.
Also I thoroughly enjoy making goo-goo eyes at Joltik and Larvesta because they are just the most cutest Pokeymans ever.

I think that while each new generation obviously adds more possible combinations and enriches the competitive scene in a way, it also creates a bit of a barrier to entry. It's much harder now than it was to make a team that deal with anything; gone are the days when you could just BellyZard your way out of pretty much everything. There are way more things to have to plan for. I was casually competitive (if that makes sense) until sometime in third gen, but I've only really played enough of the recent ones to crush some local competition at school. Even then I just spent an afternoon with smogon, pokegen, a python script and some coffee.

Idk why, but I'm just entrenched in the 4th gen games. Once 5th gen rolled around I felt it to be in almost every way worse than it's predecesor. For example, we don't need a Pkmn that's a friggen ice cream cone. At this rate 6th gen will include paper clips and a pasta dinner (one could argue that some forms of Unknown look like paper clips, but you get the point ) Also, the competetive game for 5th gen is too offensively based. Pokemon has always been about tanking it out, not letting a Cloyster use a boosting move that turns it into a super hero, or a Excadrill who can float with an Air Ballon and clean sweep the whole team. And what was the point of BW2...? Are they just making a sequel with one new Pokemon? I used to read up on this site but I've just stopped: www.serebii.net
