Pokemon Gold was my first Pokemon game, so I felt nothing.
You will not believe how disappointed I was when I found out two regions wasn't the standard for the series.
As a kid, I remember staring at the cartridge in disbelief that they managed to fit so much onto such a small thing. But of course we all now know Johto and Kanto are both pretty devoid of content.
Didn't ever go to Kanto the first time I played on a partially translated rom. Blew my mind when I found it after getting the game in English.
I started with Blue, and I thought you'd be able to go back to Johto and Kanto in R/E.
I scoured all of Hoenn looking for a way there. I found Rayquaza looking for it.
Fuck that was annoying. You gotta fight like ten swimmers on the way over, IIRC.
That music is fucking great
I started with Crystal, so I was just excited that there was a second map. Then it ended up being really barren. I like the Kanto wild battle music in Johto games a lot though.
I would probably get back into Pokemon if this was a thing. It feels so fucking lazy that they did this for the second game and decided not to do anything equivalent going forward. I mean, I can't really blame them since they're making bazooka bucks for minimal effort, but man it's disappointing.
and then you realize that Kanto is an incredibly boring region after your first experience. Kinda mad they couldn't make Johto in RSE though especially considering that Johto pokemon in gen 3 were hard to get.
The first song I thought was catchie.

I actually cried
idiot??
Same, although for me it was Silver. Ruby was such a disappointment to me when I found out only one region was available.
I agree with that, also the game acknowledges the days of the week with special events.
I miss that.
Sept. 22nd here we come.
At that moment, I thought Gold/Silver was the best pokemon game.
genwunner??
>No elaborate post games because tu hard 2 progrem.
>No Pokémon following you because teu hard 2 porgram
>No harder difficulties because tu lazy 2 prurgrem
>No good move tutors until second games because fuck you enjoy your technician pokemon sucking.
My first game was silver, but I knew who red was. I had a bigger shock when I battled him than going into Kanto. Since it was a sequel I thought it was just standard to do that.
>What the fuck is Kanto?
>Open my map
>My fucking face when I see the map change
>Johto pokemon in gen 3 were hard to get
Skarmory was so ez to get in the volcanic ash area that it was my alt dedicated bird. Skarmory in silver was a pain in the ass.
these genwunner threads on Sup Forums are the worst
...
you have to blame them
that's the only way jews will stop being jews
>tfw pokemon yellow was my first game
there is no face
How does it feel that the only reason they bothered to do this was that Iwata singlehandedly compressed the game so well they had nearly half the cartridge left over?
Funny because Red in that game was basically, "If Ash actually won the Pokemon League in the anime".
just reminds me that gamefreak were never good
>gen 2
Blew my goddamn mind.
Pretty obvious by now that GF aren't that good at programming.
>Goldenrod City lights up in night time
>Kanto
>Red
Gameboy Color was awesome
If your reaction wasn't "What the fuck is a Kanto", you're too young for this board.
I mean hell, Mr. Iwata stepped in to help them finish gold and silver.
It's because of him we even got kanto in the game.
there's still tons of Johto pokemon that aren't in the game. That's why Colosseum/Gale Of Darkness predominately feature gen 2 Pokemon. Otherwise completing the National Dex would of been impossible.
Truth
Remember when they released the trembo the badass elephant game.... and buyers found that they all bought the DEMO VERSION of the game? AND they misspelled the name of the game in the executable, so you had to fix something in the install folder before it would run?
anyone else find johto more comfy than kanto?
>comfy nights
>traditional
>located in comfy basin
>best pokemon designs even though there are few
Dude the sevii islands were my favorite part of gen 3.
I wish they had added something like that in ORAS, butnope
not really, at least the original johto was kind of empty
fun fact: if you talk to your pokemon after you talk to this man, they will turn to you and slowly nod
>be me, 12
>supposed to be in bed
>had Gameboy color, gold, worm light
>hiding underblankets
>staying up late exploring Johto at night.
max comfy
Honestly one of my best vidya memories.
I always find myself missing the different colored towns, to be honest. Even in the new games.
I have very fond memories of gen 2 but I honestly can't call the pokemon designs good, even with nostalgia goggles on, most are lazy
wat
The fuck's a Kanto?
>Did it change
>I've already explored this place
>Everything is the same
>Why is the Safari closed
>Why are Johto mons here wouldn't that ruin the ecosystem like you were talking about mom
>The volcano erupted? Who's retarded enough to build a town on a active volcano?
>Why is Misty cheating on Ash?
>Why can't I fly directly to my home world?
>I wish these guys would stop telling me about qwilfish
>This sucks
Gary gym leader and fighting previous protag was cool I guess.
I can't think of any Gen 2 pokemon that I dislike.
I lost my shit
>playing with one of those one night
>dad comes in to make sure I'm actually sleeping
>hide the game boy under the blankets
>asks me why my stomach is glowing
Fuck
>He actually likes this literal piece of ass-cancer
Jesus fuck, how? LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT ITS UGLY ASS.
for a second their I thought this stantler had a huge ass ass
he loses his shit and goes feral on a mountain?
Even all the ones with :) for faces?
I like Magcargo and Swinub but not much else
what do you mean what, that was a thing Game Freak did. They accidentally sold people the demo version of the game.
That exactly happened to me except I was hiding a boner under my blankets
>Asks me why I have a boner
>takes off my blankets
>proceeds to give me a blowjob
>best night
Same
By the time Ruby and Sapphire had come out, almost the entire original Pokémon team had left or gone on to better things. Gold & Silver, arguably Crystal, is the last time we felt the touch of the original Pokémon team.
wait hold up seriously
>Iwata personally made the tech breakthrough that allowed them to put so much more onto those tiny cartridges and added Kanto into 2nd Gen
It was digital sales, but yes. They digitally sold people this game, and when they went to play it, they were playing the demo. And when Game Freak updated it to not be the demo, it didn't work because the installation folder's name was called "Trumbo" instead of "Tembo"
...
holy shit no wonder they can't even make a properly pokemon game now, it's full of incompetent people.
Didn't know, thanks for the info man, have a great night
Were you too retarded to read as a child? Everyone I knew, knew what the fuck Kanto was from magazine manual and that strategy guide book José was passing around during recess.
>now
game freak has always been incompetent, though that has sometimes worked in our favor
Mew, for example was put in at last minute in Red and Green, by some random developer, who didn't tell anyone. The higher-ups never approved this addition, but the coding for the originals was so gaddamn sloppy they didn't find it.
>holy shit no wonder they can't even make a properly pokemon game now
*Holy shit no wonder they can't even make a proper pokemon game now
I still remember that moment as a kid
Are you retarded?
>Many gamers (including myself) are finding that they can only play two levels in the game before getting a screen telling them to get the game Summer 2015 (seen above). It appears that publisher Sega accidentally released an old demo build of the game as the full version in lieu of the completed game. Other evidence of this is the game’s executable, which is misspelled as “Trumbo,” and there are obvious grammar mistakes in the auto save message of the game.
Holy shit, it's real. GF are fucking incompetent. I knew since the moment R/S didn't have a night dat cycle and the pokemon movements on the battle screen were static unlike Crystal.
true
...
It mustve been a while since you've played those games because johto is the worst and shortest region.
johto is the best pokemon setting
It looks fine to me. Not the most stellar pokemon, but it still looks fine.

It had a ton of great pokemon. For the sake of less autism, I listed only the final evolutions of ones I liked.
Remember that time Game Freak made a game for the playstation while they were under contract with Nintendo, which was followed by nintendo buying out 51% of their stock so they wouldn't do it again?
. . .
>that stuff in the upper part of the screen was supposed to be trees
Meeting the Legendary Beasts in the Burned Tower is still the coolest and most memorable moment of the series for me. Gen 2 is great.
...
destroy it. throw it into the fire. my eyes hurt.
I thought it was just a continuation of the cave wall. I mean, it looks identical to the left edge of the rock he's on
No, it's a cave wall. You're thinking of the remake.
go back and play the originals. you can use FLY in this room. You're on the top of the mountain.
He was staring at you, intently. There were no words to describe the moment.
did anyone else fall for the bullshit rumor of there being a hidden "mount gold"? I was told that if you beat the battle tower 7 times in a row you could access mt. gold in cinnabar island, where you'd fight giovanni
Are there more stories of GF being the worst programmers from nintendo? I'm still waiting for the pokemon killer so they can stop resting on their laurels and improve their fucking games.
>Black and White 2 graphics were possible on the DS, but before that let's give you D/P.
>You could have HG/SS remake with B/W graphics.
>S/M graphics were possible on the 3DS, but before that let's give you chibi shit like on X/Y.
>You could have OR/AS remake with S/M graphics.
Why are these faggots so lazy? Why are they in charge of one of the most profitables IP's on the gaming world? Why can't they hire better code monkeys?

This bitch gave me so much shit when I was a kid that Kingdra is always part of my main team because of this.
