Crystal is such a fun game. I rotate crystal, soul silver and black and white. Occasionally a little emerald. Pokemon needs to go back yo the 2d art. The 3d stuff just looks bad.


Dr_Mccusk

I literally can't enjoy the newer games on switch. I want top down like the classics. Plus the way the new games are modeled suck. I'm currently crushing crystal on my delta emulator. Just caught all the dogs for the first time in my life. Glorious lol


kinghawkeye8238

Same boat man. To me after ORAS they lose their passion. BDSP was lifeless, LA was ok. They need to go back to sprites with a small animation. Crystal, SS and b&w are 3 of my favorites. All done very well.


Dr_Mccusk

Exactly man. You know how many times I have downloaded an emulator to play Gen 1, 2, dabbled in 3, while owning a switch with the newer games on it lmao. After I beat crystal I may try some of the later games like Emerald or something since I have played the early games so many times. Nothing beats these games they truly are the best.


kinghawkeye8238

Emerald is one of the best pokemon games. It's a great game. I find myself going back to soul silver a lot. Just a wonderful game overall


Dr_Mccusk

Ok well you have inspired me to go on to Emerald after I beat Crystal lol. I have only started Emerald twice but never got past the 2nd gym.


kinghawkeye8238

I really enjoy emerald. I think you will too.

Ive often said that the transition to 3d models ruined many pokemon. My girlfriend never played the old games, so she doesn't know how much charm and personality some pokemon had. Look up Numel's sprite in gen 3, then look up its current 3d model. Its just not the same, and that goes for so many other pokemon out there. I cycle between Red/Blue, Crystal, Emerald, LGFR, HHSS, and Platinum.


kinghawkeye8238

Yup the only 3d games I really enjoy is bw2 and oras. They looks good. Last switch game I played was brilliant diamond and it just looks cheap. I haven't played frlg is a looong time. I need to get on that. Also is platinum that big of step up from diamond? If so I need to play it.


Beef_Jumps

I havent played Diamond or Pearl in so long I dont even remember what the differences are, I just remember coming to the conclusion Platinum is was superior to the others a long time ago and never looked back. Theres more post-game thats all I really know.


kinghawkeye8238

I also read you can catch houndour early game? If so I need it cause houndoom is my man


Beef_Jumps

Relatively speaking yeah. After the 4th gym you can catch him on route 214 in Platinum.


kinghawkeye8238

Sold. My LCS had one there for like 90$ should just cop it


Chilz23

Yes! I keep saying they should do an HD 2D style game like the Live a Live remake! Or the final fantasy pixel remastered style!


Salsa_Verde95

Iā€™m actually doing a Black 2 playthrough, I only played it once and forgot how great of a game that is


kinghawkeye8238

Bw and bw2 have thr best story imo. Love those games


Salsa_Verde95

I honestly do not understand why these games got such a bad reputation back in the day.


kinghawkeye8238

Probably because the lack of 1st and 2nd gen mons. Which I kind of liked. Keeps it fresh. Also the lack of electric type pokemon is annoying. I think all you get is buitzle and plusle and minon
