Wich pokemon game should I play if I never touched one before?

This is what I really meant, but I didn't know if romhacks were fair or not.

Romhacks are usually fine, just read up on what they change to make sure.

I remember how on 4cuck before exodus people bashed me for playing blaze black 2 cause "YOU SHOULD TRADE, NOOB", "BLAZE BLACK ELIMINATES NEED OF TRADING, THAT'S WHY ITS SHIT!".

Really, those were the dark times…

Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2 are pretty restrained, for romhacks. I think the biggest change were making Farfetch'd… usable.
Quite a sweeper, I'm considering raising one of my own and putting that leek item to good use.

Emerald, Platinum or BW2
IF you really want to play the newest one, that would be ORAS but that one is underwheelming

Personally, I enjoy it because of all the tweaks it makes to various pokemon to beef them up. I don't think anyone gets weaker, others are just raised up. Most of the changes aren't too big, and most pokemon aren't changed at all.

Ideally yes, but also .

also yes you can go past Black and White, since Black and White 2 exist

I hate it when romhacks do that for no real reason.

You're retarded, user, and nobody ever made that argument that you're pulling out of your ass.

There is a reason. To make it better.

But it doesn't make it better, in fact Steel/Ghost for Cofagrius doesn't even make sense, not to mention permanent Zen Mode Darmanitan is really dumb.

Black & White 2 represents the best effort you'll ever see from Gamefreak.
The Blaze/Volt hacks are pretty incredible from what I played, too. I didn't know they had all these tweaks though, so for a new player it might give you a totally false idea of what Pokémon is because they're halfway balanced.

Go either BnW2 or BB2/VW2.

Who ever bought both versions? Especially after they added in the GTS?

Morons like the fag you're replying to.

Yes it does, going from Ghost to Ghost/Steel is a huge upgrade. You gain two fairly common weaknesses, sure, but in exchange, one of your resistances gets stronger and the other becomes an immunity, plus you get 7 more resistances on top of that. That's an incredible tradeoff.

And I totally see why it's ghost/steel. It's a big fucking coffin, it makes way more sense than something like Mawile or Lucario.

for you

I play the Touhoumon 1.8 enhanced romhack of Fire Red.

It even includes Johto as a postgame.

I played a modified version of pokemon crystal eariler this year in which all traded pokemon evolve at level 37. Alakazam is a god tier pokemon in Gen 2 if you teach him all three punches and psychic.

Obviously play the most adorable version. Moemon.

I suggest Gen 4 so either Diamond/Pearl/Platinum or HeartGold/SoulSilver. The main reason I suggest this is the Physical Special Attack split, which made the combat system actually make sense.

He fucking made it. Cheers, user.

My planned team was actually going to be Primeape, Houndoom, Porygon-Z, Scyther, Abomasnow and Skarmory. I was just bumming around Virbank though, I need to pick it up again. Do you know how they turned out?
Also if they let Marowak viably run sets not involving Thick Club, I'll take back everything I ever said about romhacking.

...

...

Pretty much any romhack that let's you control cute girls.

I'LL BE THE FIRST TO CHECK EM! THE FIRST TO CLAIM THESE VIRGIN DUBS AS MY OWN!!!

So, what are some other good romhacks?

I, I am suddenly reminded of simpler times.

HG/SS are the best, if anyone says otherwise you should disregard their opinion immediately.

Here you go. They didn't change any of their abilities, it looks like.

Yellow. It's simple, it's one of the first ones, and it's familiar.

Firered and Leafgreen aren't that tutorial heavy compared to some of the later games in the series. Nice quads though.

I love it. Too bad you can't spook AI into switching out. I'd love to actually play people with these mods.

I'm not sure if this is some kind of joke, but I was idly scrolling and I found this amusing.

He's proud of his Power

Is it bad that I really like those shitty little blurbs about a pokemon's personality?

Heh, good old /vp/ memes

Then you're just making Cofagrius a shittier Aegislash clone and making it not unique. And no, just because it has a coffin doesn't mean it has to be a Steel type.

Play the first three then leave them alone. Maybe the fourth.

that's at least from 2013, not that old when /vp/ was born in 2010.

...

Well, yes.

Why even bother.

It would be nice if there was a way to actually experience their personalities somehow. This is what I expected Pokemon-Amie to be more like.
Although headpats are nice, too

...

And I heard some people wish that Gardevoir was their mother.

Pokemon is an escape from the tragic realities of these poor autists.

It's a better alternative then them wallowing in sadness or causing damage to society.

fucking autists

Enjoy having a dad who spreads poison dust everytime he talks

...

...

Even so, it wasn't that hard to set up emulators to link to eachother, I'd trade with myself all the time. You can even import your pokemon on your rom into a pokemon stadium rom.

Gardevoir is pretty motherly.
Also Gardevoir is the best devoir

it isn't hard

What casual as fuck romhacks are you playing?

Please kill yourself

Read the thread, nigger.

don't reply to the waifu autists
they can get theirs in their designated threads

that rock version is adorable. not furry though.

Personally I would suggest you pick up Emerald.
It was for the GBA and its what got me back into pokemon for a time.
Before that, the only game I had ever played was red. It really brought me back into it so I guess it can be great for a first timer too.

Bonus is that its old so you can either pick up the cart pretty cheap (maybe find it at a local gamestop) if you still have a GBA or a GBA compatible DS.

Or just shove an emulator on your phone.

LOL NO. But seriously, $30+ is not cheap. And with this stupid Pokemon Gofuckyourself fad causing all the normalfags to pretend they liked Pokemon in the first place, the prices are going even higher, unfortunately.

It might sound weird, but the two I had most fun with, was the original gold/silver, and X/Y.

1. Pokemon was always, at the bare minimum $30 dollars. Even at shitholes like funcoland. Only recently has the price gone higher, but yadda yadda yadda inflation.

2. Either the Remakes FireRed/LeafGreen.
OR.
FEEL THE POWER OF HAVING SPECIAL AS A SINGLE STAT IN RED/BLUE.
BITCHES JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR CRAB HAMMER AND PSYCHIC.

3, Don't you just love it when the normalfags show up in your hobbies after years and years of them turning their nose up at it.

At least, with Pokemon, there's not much damage that can be done; aside from the Season Pass DLC or something. From the very conception of the series, Pokemon was what we today consider extreme cancer. I mean back then , it was alright because, you know, gaming was awesome when you were fucking 12.

FUCKING PWOKEON GIVE ME BACK MYE MONE I LOST SITY DOLAR FOR TIS GAM =FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU NINTEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AND GAE FREEK

no but seriously the games suck, only good ones are gen 2

Enjoy your lack of abilities.

I thought the the insult for that gen was Johtoddler

Nah man, it was alot cheaper. Like as cheap as Mike Tyson's Punch Out was back in 2003 before the retro fad happened. Also why the fuck are you itemizing your points? You could seriously just type out everything normally.

But going back on topic, yes Pokemon is "cancerous," if we go by the definition of your average Holla Forums browsing idiot. And yes, the series has normalfag followers, it's a Nintendo franchise. Literally the majority that love the games are normalfags.

But the normalfaggotry I'm talking about is from people that haven't touched video games ever and are pretending they even liked the series, when they mostly bullied you when you were twelve. It's infuriating as a collector because the overhyped Gen IV Gold and Silver remakes are unreasonably expensive because of the stupid toy included with the games.

End of the day though, despite the obnoxiously high prices and the inevitable increase in price that would rival the Final Fantasy VII prices, there's a reason flash carts exist.

Tl;dr you are major faggot and the way you itemized everything kind of shows how much of a smug fedora tipping faggot that you are. Even the autists that get made when people space out every sentence as a new line, would claim that you're worse than those faggots.

Platinum is my fucking jam. I will always love Gen 4 the most.

Any version is fine! They're all fun.

Except for ruby and sapphire. Avoid those.

This. Gen 3 a shit.

Emerald is fun.

OP, Play FRLG with this romhack

mediafire.com/download/hpebax5p81tifdk/Pokemon_Fire_Red_PS_Split_Nat_Dex_Patch.ips

This adds the physical/special split that gen 4 intrdocued, and removes the dumb cross gen evo restriction.

Im no furry? but id put my penis inside that fox girl.

How can you tell?

Who wouldn't?

She's a qt.

STOP
T
O
P

Abilities were a mistake

You want more?

Jokes on you, some people actually like futa.

Why do you think I saved it?

reported, hopefully a janitor does his job well.
Stop derailing pokemon threads with porn please, it's very annoying for people that actually want to talk about the game.

gave warning ban, if porn spam continues send another report please

Spoilsport.

doing god's work

...

How fucking new are you?

I don't know who that is.
You're as much of a fag as that other guy is, you're the sole reason why we can't have pokemon threads on this board.
stay mad

praise me user-kun

Stay mad, famdingo.

I don't know where you came from, but you need to go back.

Janitor and volunteer are the fucking same thing

Go on, you have to get mad.

But they aren't

You have to go back.

...

Play the games in this order:

1. Yellow
2. Crystal
3. Emerald
4. Platinum

ded.

Reup or name of the romhack?

If you're gonna play Crystal get the "emu edition" romhack by LocksmithArmy from Romhacks website.

It's a 251 Pokémon hack, you can get all mons without trading or events.

For Red, there is a romhack that adds GSC colours for the overworld.

Just play the original Blue and then never waste your time with this shitty fundamentally broken Skinner box series again.

OP, Red has better exclusives.

Blue is for girls.

Blue is the best version for the sole fact that Porygon is only 6000 slot coins instead of fucking 9999.

Smogon

If you want to play a classic for some reason, gen 1 remakes or cristal. If not, soul silver

...

BLUE IS SHIT.

Ninetales is better and you know it, faggot.

says a lot that people would rather play a broken game than the new shit game freak is shoveling out lately

I'd rather play a game with not-broken battle mechanics and shitty looking sprites. Keep masturbating to The Poke Rap, faggot.

...

Spoken like a true faggot
I bet you think Pokemon is a true competitive game too don't you

modded against random damage distribution it is.

Generation 1 is hilariously broken for sure, but the reality is that every subsequent generation has been more insultingly anti-consumer and more of a giant time-wasting Skinner box. The fact that the very next set of games invented ways to force people to reserve time for game events at real-life times of day and days of week instead of at their leisure–how a game should be enjoyed–is fucking repulsive and the series only became even worse from there onward.

Just play platinum, everything afterwards is when gamefreak learned they didn't have to give a shit and stopped trying.

...

do you think he actually thought this or was he just trying to court an audience?

Pokemon Adventures: Red Edition is my personal favourite.

I think he convinced himself that he truly believes that
