>>42442069Even as a kid, I didn't know what "DVs" were obviously, but I already had figured out some were better than others, so I always caught several of the same pokémon to compare their stats before deciding on which one to use.
Then again it's not hard to "figure out", you have 1 NPC, one "trainer tips" pannel and 1 "pokémon quizz" (pic related) that tell you that pokémon of the same kind of type and level are not identical, but even then most people I knew had no idea.
>>42445622You're right, Sinnoh's dungeon might be a bit better than RSE's overall, but there is still nothing quite that compares to gen1's dungeons.
It's crazy how in gen4, every single cave and mountain looks almost completely the same; while in gen1 each one is dripping with a completely different feel. Even Dark Cave, which is probably the worst dungeon in gen1, serves it purpose of being confusing and oppressing.
Meanwhile, in Mt Moon's basement, it's like you can feel how damp and moldy the place is, yet there is little, graphically speaking, that sets it apart from the rest of the place. I don't know how they do it.
My favourite though are probably not caves, Team Rocket's hideout at the game corner, Silph Co's building and the burnt lab at Cinnabar are absolutely based.
