  Part of being a Pokémon fan is getting disillusioned with the franchise

  Pokestar Studio&apos;s best feature was how every movie had a secret ending you could get by ignoring the script in a specific way that you had to figure out completely on your own (though the medals might have had hints, I don&apos;t remember). It really fleshed out the side game more than anything else in the franchise.

  Masuda <b>says</b> the reason for the Battle Frontier&apos;s exclusion stemmed from so many things competing for people&apos;s attention, but I think it could <b>actually</b> stem from what people refer to as What Annual Releases Do To A Mofo.

  When I was a kid, before Silver came out in America, I got the Japanese version of Silver in an import shop where I sometimes bought Japanese Pokemon cards from. I used a fan walkthrough on an old Angelfire/Geocities site on the ancient internet to beat the game. The site used blurry screenshots and listed the Pokemon by their Japanese names written in English. I called Wooper, Uppa, for a long time. <br><br>My greatest Pokemon memory was being in Victory Road and finding a mysterious brown sparkling Graveler. I was in shock and tried to catch it, but it used explosion. I looked for hours but never saw it again. My friends didn&apos;t believe me. <br><br>Growing up with reading on the internet about Pokegods and Pikablu, finding the Truck, messing with and catching MissingNo, and finding out about Mew. Red and Blue were insane and filled me with so much wonder. Then, after all that, playing the Japanese Silver and finding out that you could go back to Kanto, and that Red exists at the end of the game. It felt like anything could happen in Pokemon. You just had to be there.

  Gen 1’s “story” deserves a lot more attention imo. The idea of digital creatures was brand new at the time, and its technical limitations kept Pokémon from seeming like actual creatures at a glance. To fix this, the story pit us against A) an asshole rival that only cares for strength, and B) a criminal syndicate that only treats them as tools for evil. They’re juxtaposed with you, a trainer who loves and trusts their monsters, seeing them as beloved companions. Without Gen I’s story, we would see them as no more than garbled collections of pixels and numbers. For that, I think it deserves a ton of merit for how simply effective it was in teaching kids what Pokémon is all about.

  It bothers me so much how so many people say that disliking the newer games is just because we&apos;re getting older and it&apos;s kids games. No. The concept and basic gameplay loop of a Pokemon game is still intensely my kind of game. I just really wish the games were as high quality as I know they could be

  Pokémon&apos;s sleeper agent is so strong it may put MK Ultra to shame.<br>As much as I dunk on this series I can&apos;t ignore the faint glimmer of glee whenver I pass by a store and see them selling card packs.<br>Get out of me head. Get out of me head. I can&apos;t think no more, man.

  One thing i find interesting about the gen 3 games is that they are the only Pokemon games to target a constant 60fps. Its not like it really matters when we are talking about turnbased RPGs, but i still think it is interesting

  the sheer amount of content in HGSS is crazy. The director of the game had said that there’s so much content in them because he didn’t want them to feel like just simple remakes while still paying respects to the original games. meanwhile nowadays, pokemon games lack content because i guess children just enjoy mobile games too much and have short attention spans. i’m so glad the battle frontier has been a mainstay in the series to this very day!<br><br>(seriously can we please get Shigeki Morimoto back as director?)

  Fun Fact: GSC were the last games directed by the creator of the series, he stepped down to become an executive producer after it, almost all other games going forward were directed by Masuda, including Ruby and Sapphire which came after. <br><br><br>So yeah… take that as you will.

  Venusaur might be the best Mega from a balance perspective. It started to fall off around this gen, but going Mega gives it like +20 to its offense and defense stats as well as a nice ability which neutralizes 2 of its weakness. And after all of that, it still has a couple of weakness which are decently accessible.<br>Mega Venusaur is the reason why I will defend and advocate for Megas in future gens.
