>>39752029>Gen 1Dumb kid who couldn't read, thought Prof. Oak kidnapped me, did beat it in the end. I still like kanto, it's the first Pokemon game and it really shows.
>Gen 2 actually skipped it, didn't mean too, but I did. I have played HGSS, really good games, issues are still the level curve and enemy Pokemon being really weak so grinding is a hell, also traveling to another region in the same game is fun. Finally got to try out crystal version.>Gen 3Honestly pretty mixed, I liked when I was younger, but now it's just kinda samey, nothing really major happens in this installment, Evil teams are kinda dumb, has fug in it so that a +. Emerald really is the definitive version, if it didn't come out gen 3 would probably the most average game, has a great post game. The rival also suck.
>Gen 4Introduced the split, and slow as shit, another saved by the third version, but Sinnoh has a little more charm with it's lore and world building, and I find the environments you get to travel in is the best here, it feels much more varied, Berry is a okay rival, has way more personality then whatever hoenn gave me, Cynthia is also always fun to encounter, and her being champ makes it better, you finally get to see a little more character for what's basically the final test
(Gen 3 also did this, but a much lesser extent, and he's not in emerald.) She's not perfect and could have used some more roles in the main plot but it's step up, Evil team is pretty bland, and DPP is actually pretty challenging by Pokemon standards.
