>>48072496>blah blah blah blah blah blahAs a child, I started with Sapphire but got a Silver cart later that I greatly preferred. For Christmas 2019, I bought myself Crystal version on Virtual Console and enjoyed it about as much as HGSS if not a little bit more given how pleasant I found the graphics.
But let's be real here, none of that is why.
>>48072252The real reason is that /vp/ is a really bad board. It's incredibly stagnant and filled with the worst kind of nerd; the nerd that thinks they can actually do better than the people in charge. And maybe they even could, but nothing will save them from their awful, fetid personalities. I hate, with great passion, nearly everyone from /rheg/ as that community is like the epitome of /vp/'s shitsmears. It's a bunch of retards laughing at other retards. It's very cringe.
With that being said, it's very obnoxious, watching people gush over and over again about how great these three old games are and how nothing will ever compare to how good they were ever again. Yeah, GSC were good, but they had their own issues and are far and away from being Pokemon's end all be all.
Generation 4 is solid gold.
>>48072224RSE is the worst in the series. And anyone with half a brain cell to rub against itself will understand this. It's a direct downgrade from its predecessor in ways that haven't been repeated to this day. Unless you count SWSH I guess. RSE has a dogshit campaign that peters out after the fifth gym and an ugly as fuck male MC. Practically its only redeeming quality are its monsters and the battle UI from Emerald. Why do you think people keep trying to make other games in the Emerald engine? Because literally anything else is better than that bullshit. By the way, its sprites are ugly as sin and the way they look up at the viewer is stupid. FRLG is better by a country mile despite having a comparatively mild story that gets boring after a while.
