Sorry, but:

Sinnoh has to be my favorite Region of the entire series. D/P/Pt are all very VERY underrated games in the series, and I feel like they deserve a bit more credit.

>that soundtrack
>platinum's challenging atmosphere
>memorable gym leaders and pokemon

How is this generation getting no attention or being given a bad vibe?
Am I the only one that truly enjoyed Sinnoh?

Also, Sinnoh thread.

Gen 4 were the best games but currently people only have nostalgia for Hoenn because it's next in line for possible remakes.

Been playing platinum recently. I thought it was shit when it came out, but it's grown on me a lot. Sinnoh is just too comfy.

Plus, gen4 was the phys/spec split. Aint no one dispute that being the best mechanic change in the series.

Ya'll have quality taste.

A lot of people on here grew up with Hoenn so to them DPP was the bastard little brother that followed.

I'll never forget getting Gen 4 back in 7th grade. Picked Turtwig as my bro and went in blind... only time I've done it and man was it fun. I don't care about what other people think about it; 4th generation is my favorite gen.

Sinnoh is one of if not the best region.

Most of my fave characters and mons are from here

Gen 4 also featured remakes of johto, another favorite region of mine.

Gen 4 was the fucking best.

I grew up on Kanto, but its shit. Hoenn is okay, Unova is sweet, Kalos is pretty but lacks substance (until the remakes).

Gen 4 is where its at.

Btw, I recently discovered the reason why Dawn and Lucas changed their outfits in Platinum is because Sinnoh became colder.

Anyone knows why Sinnoh's temperature changed in Platinum ?

i think it was something about giratina but i cant remember why it could just be winter
plus winter attire in the desert region

Sinnoh is probably the best gen and region
had VS seeker
Battle frontier
battle gym leaders and partners again
Rival had a decent team
Starters were great

i platinum will be my favorite pokemon game for awhile

i would say fuck 3rd gen remake and go straight to 4th
but emerald was a decent game so i can deal with it

Gen IV was when Pokemon reached its peak. Only gen when I bothered with competitive battling. Who's with me.

>Dat physical-special split
>Dat Dialga/Palkia battle theme is the hypest shit in pokemon

>Generally the whole day/night city music thing

Also

>First pokemon game where the AI wasn't completely retarded
>Motherfucking Cynthia and her actually gud team wrecking you
>Dawn's short skirt

Even the Stealth Rock bullshit couldn't deter me from enjoying online battles. Gen V made shit too convoluted for me. Fuck status moves that boost stats three times, or boost two stats two times, or three stats once; you get it.

Also RIP static sprites

Quoted By:

>>18849727

It is caused by the axis of the Earth in the respective hemisphere being oriented away from the Sun. The tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbital plane plays a big role in the weather. The Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.44° to the plane of its orbit, and this causes different latitudes on the Earth to directly face the Sun as the Earth moves through its orbit. It is this variation that primarily brings about the seasons. When it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere faces the Sun more directly and thus experiences warmer temperatures than the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, winter in the Southern Hemisphere occurs when the Northern hemisphere is tilted more toward the Sun. From the perspective of an observer on the Earth, the winter Sun has a lower maximum altitude in the sky than the summer Sun.

Sinnoh is also my favorite region. Very memorable places, people, Pokémon, and history, too. So many of my favourite Pokémon were introduced in Gen IV.

Gen 3 was my favorite, but to this day, I still stand by the opinion that Sinnoh had the best soundtrack.

My first game was Blue, and I took a long break between gen III and IV and skipped out on Diamond and Pearl entirely, but Platinum is by far my favorite mainline game in the series. I just everything about it, but there are some things that could've been better like the "SAVING A LOT OF DATA WAIT PLS."

I'm playing White right now but Platinum seems to be better than it so far.

So can we all agree that Sinnoh had the best movies? I mean holy shit, a TRILOGY!? An overarching plot? In my Pokemon!?

>Rise of Darkrai
Everyone assumed Darkrai is gonna' be some 2edgy4u answer to Shadow the Hedgehog, turns out he's the fucking hero that Gotham deserved.

>Giratina & the Sky Warrior
Despite Shaymins annoying voice, its a solid movie, with some brilliant action scenes. Dat Train Scene, holy shit.

>Arceus & the Jewel of Life
Grande Finale, the God of Pokemon returns to Earth and declares the Human race a failure, and prepares to bring judgement upon us.

Giratina and Palkia go toe-to-toe with Poke'Jesus, while Dialga sends the main group back to the fucking Iron age or some shit, which was one of the coolest concepts ever explored in Pokemon.

And to top it off, the HG//SS movie;
>Zoroark; Master of Ilusions
Celebi 2.0, except this movie is good, the fucking villain straight up strangles Pokemon 'n shit. The Crown Beasts appear, and the events that tied to the movie are hands down the most useful events for Shiny Hunters (Fuck Shiny Hunting for Roaming Legends) and competitive players (Aura Sphere, Weather Ball, Extremespeed all saved Raikou, and Entei got a good move out of it if I remember too)

The montage that played during the credits was gorgeous too. Pretty much a fitting goodbye to Dawn, Brock, and the best-quality season of the anime ever (The Sinnoh League)

If you haven't watched the Sinnoh movies, just fucking do it now.

I love Platinum anon, it's just we aren't that vocal right now. People like to talk more about possible Hoenn remakes than anything, and gens 1 and 2 also get talked more often in response to that, because they already had their remakes.

Nothing interesting really. He thought it was funny to place the cartridge on a lightbulb whilst it was on. Needless to say it doesn't work anymore. Its a shame because it was one of my favourites.

I did something similar to my DUPLO (or whatever they were called, they were basically oversized Legos) when I was younger. I through some pieces into a lamp I had as if I were playing basketball and forgot about them. Later my mom smelled something burning and found the melted pieces.
