Its been so long since a pokemon game gave you this feeling of despair in Red/Blue/Yellow

[Software]

When pokemon started using 3d sprites for battles that's when the shyt went downhill lol
@humminbird knows too them 5th gen ds games had a decent story

Man fukk Whitney and her bytchass Miltank.

Y’all really brought it back. Those were the good days

You really felt like the CHAMPION after getting through it all

These new games easy as fukk, can one shot teams with my shytty starter

Pulling wins out of your ass against the E4 was always such a rewarding feeling. You analyzing all your moves and items, determining how much health you can chunk away vs how much they'll hit you for and stretching out how long before you use your last couple potions. Then re-analyzing everything when you get hit with a critical

shyt was stressful as hell. Then you beat it and it was worth every second.

I'm guessing my set was trash because I barely escaped that feel for Pokemon Pearl. managed to win with that struggle move you get when you exhaust all your moves.

Gen 4 was on some real shyt, had the same happen to me when I first played Platinum. Team went down all the way to Giratina. Breh wasn't even supposed to be there, just a better meat shield than the HM Bibarel.

I don't remember what was my plan against Cynthia's Garchomp, iirc it was an Abomasnow. Dude was cooked so quick that I couldn't even form a memory.

Lance was on some time in HGSS too. Gen 4 was definitely the toughest one.

We don't talk about Platinum Fantina either.

They fukked up the remakes tho. What's the point of giving Cynthia max stats with all the busted bullshyt the game got going on?

 

[Rain]

Damn talk about restoring the feeling

 

[Selena]

This thread ain't nothin but straight facts!

I used to be so pissed when they had like 1 HP left & paralyzed/poisoned and the fools use a full restore while I ran out of everything. I used to always throw tantrums lmao.

 

[TOAD99]

I’m playing the brilliant diamond remake and although it’s not as tough, its still harder than the new games

These gym leaders are actually rotating Pokémon and using potions and shyt and the gyms actually have puzzles to solve

Edit: Wrong thread lol.

Let's see what the new game brings to the table tho. Could be good.

 

[the_FUTURE]

No potions left, no ethers, but i'll be damned if i'm losing here. Find a way pokebrehs we're gonna do it. fukk gary

 

[DTXwavey_02]

Whitney’s miltank in heartgold was a damn nightmare than Cynthia’s squad was just fukking nasty, she stayed shytting on me

I miss those days bruh, I was addicted to Pokémon. I still play the games but the last great Pokémon game was black and white

 

[MischievousMonkey]

I had the same feeling playing Red Fire as a child. Pacing around the house with my gameboy and my insides tied in a knot Music added to the tension beautifully too

When the rival pulls out a Hyper Potion shyt would break your moral

Worse thing was getting your Pokémons one shot and cycling through the surviving ones trying to Revive the rest of your team

Red Fire was even crazier since you had a shadow Elite Four after you beat them the first time. That was so fire. They didn't just take the L, they trained afterwards and came back with new Pokémons, new moves and much higher levels.

Yeah 5th gen were the last great mainline Pokémon games imo

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

My first playthrough I had no idea what I was doing. I picked Charmander and got stuck at Brock so I kept grinding in Viridian Forest until I could beat Brock's whole team with my Charmeleon. Then I just tanked through the whole game beating everyone and everything with the starter Pokemon and that Farfetch'd DUX

I plowed through the Elite 4
