Some people like games that have sleep inducing music and run at about 10 to 15 fps.

It's weird, I know. I'm not one of them fyi.

They're the first and last games until sun and moon that strayed from the same basic formula, and surprise surprise gamers like variety. And they were the first 3D Pokémon games. Also, they aren't my favorite Pokémon games but they are good.

Good thing Nintendo doesn't cater to gamers. They'd be losing a shitload of money otherwise.

My one and only problem with the games was the fact that you couldn't effectively train your pokemon so you were ALWAYS underleveled.

Still gives me flashbacks to fighting the minibosses who had legendaries on their team all 10 levels higher than me.

Oh and fuck Mirror B. He's the reason I hate Ludicolo with a passion. I think he's the only trainer in all of pokemon that uses a stall-only team.

I also have flashbacks to the final fight of the battle tree (Forgot its actual name but you're rewarded with a gen2 starter if you beat it) where the boss just alternates protect/earthquake in doubles. Now that was bullshit

They didn't sell poorly because the games weren't good, they sold poorly because they were released on the GameCube (as opposed to all other Pokémon games) and were poorly marketed.

They aren't overrated. Actually I barely ever hear people talk about them at all. They were quite good games considering their era and platform, and the change in pace and tone is really nice if one did decide to play it. I bet 99% of everyone who hate on these games didn't even play both all the way through.

They are kinda battle heavy, but why the fuck else would you be playing Pokemon? also at least these games had plot unlike PBR which I might add were poorly received because they were crap unless you were actually transferring Pokemon to them from the DS

Nevermind that they're worse than the handheld releases.

Oh you make me want to replay Colosseum. I actually never played GoD. I have the game though. Just bought it a month ago for cheap. Haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Maybe I'll give it a go.

The main character is off putting though after Wes, who honestly is the most badass Pokemon MC ever. He had a cool bike and a Espeon/Umbreon duo. God has a kid with a shitty scooter and an Eevee.

The games were not anything special.

The music was great, and they really nailed some of the Pokemon animations, the battles look nicer than what we have now on S/M.

That's kinda it though. One of the things that would have made them better would be if there had been actual "routes" in the games, with the standard NPC trainers spread and wild encounters. Instead you could only travel by selecting locations on a map which would take you to, what basically were, simple hubs.

The games were actually challenging too (by Pokemon standards) thanks to the limited Pokemon selection coupled with the bosses using actual strategies instead of just being "I'm a [Pokemon Type] user!".

Motherfucker had a sidecar for his Espeon and Umbreon bros. Doesn't get more awesome than that. Still, it's kinda short sighted to not play a game because the MC isn't as badass as the previous one. I'll probably start GoD tomorrow. Need something else to do besides grinding the E4 on Sun for my lv100 mons and grinding VGC ranked.

I fucking loved Colosseum though. So I'll probably love GoD too. Also, best Eevee for that game? I assume you can get stones somewhere to evolve it. I kinda like Vaporeon myself since its really reliable ingame and in competitive teams imo.

Also I usually stick with Espeon for this game since it was such a powerhouse in Colo, and the first Pokemon you catch does nicely as a stand in for Umbreon.

You can catch a Togepi with Tri-Attack in that game. I actually still have that pokemon. It's a Togekiss now and it's excellent trolling material. The motherfucker who thought that giving Tri-attack to a pokemon with Serene Grace was a good idea was obviously an evil man.

Vaporeon, Jolteon and Espeon are all great options. The game has a surprising amount of variety, too, and a bunch of pokemon with special moves, as pictured.
>>31029430
Tri-Attack Togekiss is the only reason I was upset at the Togepi line becoming Fairy in Gen 6. Helping Hand Togetic was the biggest reason I was frustrated at the pentagon rule for VGC. They absolutely did wonders for that line's future without even knowing it at the time.

overrated would imply anyone ever talks about them here. Considering they're the only main console games that have an actual plot and don't pander to gen 1 like Game Freak does constantly (due to the fact the weren't made by Game Freak and were made to make catching gen 2 pokemon possible), it's one of the few things gen 3 did right. They're not perfect but they were a step in the right direction for taking Pokemon into main consoles. Too bad Game Freak said fuck that keep it portable, and we haven't gotten anything similar since.
