/vp/ - Pokémon » Thread #33525621

The whole incentive is that you become the strongest trainer by beating the elite four (so you need to carry on and beat all the gym leaders). If that doesn't drive you then why the fuck do you play Pokemon?

This is one of my favorite parts of Emerald, actually. There's a good amount of open exploration once you unlock Surf.

This. Lots of things to check out when you get Surf.

The incentive is to get to hang out with Archie and Maxie in their stupidity.

Same. Exploring the ocean half of Hoenn, in all it's slow, gritty and puzzling layout was way more of a challenge and enjoyment for me than

I felt like I was on an actual adventure.

Understandable, the best part of Pokemon games usually starts around Gym 1 or 2 and continues for the next few, then it gets boring again

Norman is the mid-game climax boss that's why. Everything calms down for a bit after that, though the world opening up with Surf and Routes 119 and 120 are super good.

And don't forget, the real first gym leader is a rock type trainer who uses a Geodude and a pokemon that evolves into a Steel type in the next gen.

Do you know who gives you Tm 24 - Thunderbolt? That's right, the third gym leader, an electric type specialist.

But getting Thunderbolt from Surge was in the original gen I, and Wattson gives you in gen III.

No one, anon.
I just played in the past few days and I'm commenting a few points.
I really liked the elite four. It was so cool. The last Elite four member used the pseudo-legendary of the region, a Dragon/Flying pokemon. I also like the Ice and Ghost ladies as well.

I don't want to keep going immediately when I beat Norman, but that's because the entire area you've passed through opens up suddenly. You can grab a bunch of shit previously unavailable to you like the area north of Meteor Falls and the whole sea routes between Route 104 and Slateport, plus a few other little things. It's one of the best parts of any RPG when the world suddenly opens up like it does in Emerald.

The remake butchered everything good about this scene by putting a mandatory teleport directly to your destination after the fight. Ohmori completely missed the ENTIRE FUCKING POINT of having the player wander around taking whatever path they choose out of the ones available to them by just teleporting you there as if a focus test group thought it was too hard to have control over where you go in a video game.

why would you want to catch all of them again after doing it the first time, what a tremendous waste of time
