Pokemon: Changed For The Better Or Worse?

[CircusHead]

As we all know the Pokemon Games have made significant changes in graphics, Features, and design. The plot of the games haven't changed, but is it better or worse? So the question is, Red and Blue, or Diamond and Pearl?

I must say Red and Blue. Though missing a lot of things, they are still fun.

This is for the let's go make a thread event.

I'd have to agree with you about the changes, but I prefer D/P

So much more improvements.

I wish there was a both button, lol XD. I like the old series and the newer ones. Because the newer ones brought different and stronger pokemon, more moves and different battle features such as the natures. But I voted for the Newer ones.

Gen 1: Opened the door for pokemon
Gen 2: Improved and expanded
Gen 3: Not so memorable because of the massive downgrade
Gen 4: Only worth it for online
Gen 5: Only wort for online.

umm i say new :p

I've played the old ones, and I can see why some people choose it over the new ones today. I know that the new ones sometimes mess up the nostalgic memories that some people have playing the first game. Or, some people think that the new generations have downgraded somewhat.

I, however, enjoy the new games more, for the online experience and all the battling that I've been able to do. The new moves and pokemon species are always very fun to see, as well as the much improved graphics.

I wouldn't say the same about the storyline (that's where I feel that the original surpassed), but I find the change from generation one to generation 4 (and soon to be 5) to be lots of fun.

I vote: Changed for the better.

Definitely a change for the better. New Pokemon, moves, etc. It gives more variety.

Not that I don't like the new games, but the 4th gen had som weird pokes (infernape, Mothim etc.) Moves were cool though.

I don't see how you can say Gen 2 "Improved and expanded" but Gen 4 didn't, and judging Gen 5 before it's even released?

Come on man, nostalgia shouldn't have that much of a grip on you.



I definitely say for the better, it only improves. The Pokémon designs hardly matter when it comes to meta-game, which the game is necessarily about.
