Since most people's GSC games no longer work due to long term stupidity on the game designer's part, this remake actually is warranted. I've been afraid to ever replay those games because even though they still save, the clock doesn't work...

Totally... I actually thought that a GS remake would never happen because of how long it took... I wonder if they'll retcon the years Red has been training in Mt. Silver... It's now been 5 years since FR/LG came out. Wishful thinking, but I'm hoping he'll have a full lvl. 100 team with Pokemon Stadium level AI. :D

?????? FRLG AI is superior to Pokemon Stadium AI, and RSE AI is just about the same, a little better, more specifically, Emerald AI, is the best.

You played the Kichiku Moemon FireRed, which was purposefully designed to be THE hardest Pokemon game. I never finished it because it is extremely hard to get through the Seafoam Islands to reach Cinnabar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcxfiF-7df8).

I saw discussion about AI in these games and I remember in my traumatic replay of Pokemon Red (as in how I spat on all those hours of grinding I did 10 years ago and beat the Elite 4 my first try with an underleveled team), Koga's last Weezing used Explosion on me. Great job. >_> And how in my Yellow version Gary's Flareon never uses anything but quick attack.

Huh. Really now? I didn't even know the patch went up that far (my current one is stuck at Fushia City). I'll have to find another one then.

I find it more 'annoying' than I do cheating. Although, what seems to piss me off the most is the computer's way of using heal items; You're about to finish off some guys pokeyman then the next thing you know *Oops Full Restore!* Now you have to go through the entire process again. The only way to really remedy this is to outright kill them in one-shot before they ever have a chance to know what the hell you just shot at them (which can be done).

Also, shouldn't we be discussing the good stuff about this remake rather than what pisses us off about Pokemon in general? Oh wait...this is the internet. Nevermind then, carry on.

Time to be party pooper.

I used to play Pokemon way back when there was red and blue.  Then when silver and gold came out, I got that too.   After that, the series just seemed to repeat itself with some new Pokemon and some new moves but same adventure though a slightly different looking place.

So I'm going to ask, what appeal does Pokemon have the third or fourth time?
Title: Re: Pokemon Gold & Silver remakes confirmed!!

Post by: Drake on May 18, 2009, 09:36:09 PM
Third gen sucked ass, and I'm pretty sure most everyone can agree. 4th gen is actually pretty good. Unfortunately the only way to attract attention was to cram in fifty million legendaries, but it's worth it. 2nd was the best though. The best.

But it's pokemon. It's the same thing with a new region, new pokemon, new moves, new gameplay gimmicks and new other gimmicks. You're not really expecting too much, I hope.

So basically I'm supposed to lower my expectations to enjoy a game?  *cough*

So yeah, looking into this, the market appeal type basically works that they can release two generations of Pokemon games for ever generation they target (the little kids), thus it works on a continual chain that never wears out because they keep getting new buyers in.

Regardless, the series does have merit, but needs to change a lot more between the games.

Truth be told, I lost interest when Ruby and Sapphire came out. That was primarily because they felt like a step back from Gold and Silver. So I'm really looking forward to these, as they had some of the best features, and just a nice huge feel thanks to having two games worth of content.

He wasn't referring to the AI, just the games as a whole. Weird, because 3rd gen brought us FR/LG, which is miles better than the original R&B, (unless you're wearing the nostalgia goggles of course.) and Emerald, which is the only 3rd version that's actually worth the purchase, as it's a much bigger improvement on the original 2 versions than Yellow, Crystal & Platinum.
Title: Re: Pokemon Gold & Silver remakes confirmed!!
Post by: Prody on May 21, 2009, 09:17:50 AM
The AI... isn't really that good, actually. In Pokemon games, you're always using super effective moves against every trainer in the game. In fact, doing that will bring you through the game right away!

Even if one part seems unbeatable (I REALLY doubt this, but it can happen if you use repel on every one of your steps and dodge every trainer), strategy can still be used to win the game. Or just plain grinding at your nearest high-level wild pokemon point.

For an example of how how abusable the level of AI is, check Kaizo Pokemon. For anyone who does not know what's this, its basically a rom hacking Pokemon Emerald to be as hard as the Mario series of the same name (Kaizo Mario World). Probably by the same creator, though.

Even if I don't like to get into arguments, and stay away from potentially heated arguments, I have to agree with this image. I meant, they took away everything that made Gold (Or Silver) different away and changed it with the typical anime stereotype-
No, even worse than that. This re-design makes the kid look even sillier than the other designs.
Also, Pokeball Holsters? FUCK. I had never seen them before.
YET ANOTHER FUCKING EDIT: New stuff!

It includes the Kanto region being in the game, you get to pick ANY pokemon to follow you around, full using of the stylus, a new style for the pokedex and the regular Event-pokemon that unlocks a new area.

If these remakes are anywhere near the goodness that FR/LG was, then I'll have to look into it.

As for Pokemon being easy, well of course it is. It's meant to be a kids games. Touhoumon is infinitely harder, I can't tell you how long Brock smacked me around like I was a fly. You actually have to level your team and use strategy.

I recall it being hard until you beat the Saffron Gym senseless.
Sure, it was hard to get around the type changes (Reisen is pretty much the only psychic type to be found before getting to the Sevii Islands) but when that's fixed (Or overlooked in my case) it's all smooth sailing.
...Until you get to the Elite Four MK II. Then it's all GRIND GRIND GRIND.

Koakuma is also a Psychic type and is found in Mt. Moon, but Reisen has better stats (I think...).

I haven't even gotten to Saffron yet... I think I took a wrong turn or something, I'm at Fuschia already. It's been so long since I've played, hahaha.

At any rate, I didn't expect the difficulty I got when I started. I'm still having some issues here and there, but it's mostly not so bad anymore.

Here's hoping they fix everything that was wrong with Kanto in the originals with all the extra space they have.

Ahaha, was that meant to be a pun? If it is so, then I agree that both the pun and picture is nice!

I didn't realize it would come out as a pun. damn, I'm good.

I'm pretty bored so I might start a new game on Platinum without using my starter pokemon.
Or I could try Touhoumon, I've had it on this computer for a while.

Do it. The people who work on Touhoumon know what people want. It's fine-tuned to incredible.

I loved GSC and all, but I'm not going to forgot that Gold and Silver were released 8 years ago, and I was 10 years old at the time - everything was awesome then.

I played silver again recently and realized it felt somewhat like a rushed sequel that didn't feel much like a new region at all.

What's the first thing I see when I step out of New Bark Town? Exactly the same ones I saw when I stepped out of Pallet Town. It doesn't promote the fact that it's a completely new place with new Pokemon quite enough. This is why I enjoyed RSE and DPPt so much; they really feel like you're in a new region, with new pokemon everywhere.

While Diamond and Pearl lacked variety, it at least promoted the fact that there were new Pokemon - more so in Platinum, which also had a bigger regional dex.

I'll probably look at HGSS with a different perspective than I did with GSC. After racking up about 350 combined hours in my Pearl and Platinum saves, HGSS will seem like a huge refresher instead of a slog.

This is a huge opportunity for Gamefreak to 'fix' Johto and Kanto as they appeared in GSC.  Hopefully they'll stop masturbating over notched ear Pichu and event Pokemon activated content soon and give us some more useful information.

I decided to ditch my starter and pick up a Shinx instead when I started Platinum. It's actually pretty fun starting with something different, and I'd suggest you try it out.

I approve of the above message. 2nd gen will always remain the weakest of the series IMO.

I never played a single pokemon game before... I've never even really seen any gameplay associated with it excluding the pokemon boss in I wanna be the fangame.

I dismissed it originally because I have a rule of thumb regarding games that is generally accurate.. don't punish yourself playing a game based on a movie or tv show. I know sometimes they are good, but generally it holds true.

Anyway maybe I should give it a shot eventually.

Can anybody describe to me though what exactly kind of game it is, what are the challenges in it. What makes it different than others of its genre.. And FFS, why do they always release 2 at the same time with different colors.. I know each one has "different pokemon you can have" but why don't they just have all the pokemon in one game? Marketing scheme so you buy double the games? Is the story and bosses and all that the exact same, you just get different guys? I don't understand exactly. Why doesn't anybody complain its' nothing but a cheap trick to make you spend double.. Or why DONT people get both when they like the series.. I've also heard people say how much they love the game "and I got pokemon blue"...  I think "well why not red if you like it so much".

heelp.

It's the other way round!
The games came first.

It's an RPG. Challenges...? Hmm. Collecting all the pokemon I guess. Beating the last boss isn't difficult, as long as you fight all the fights that you come across, and don't spread your experience around too much.

What makes it different from other RPGs is that rather than having 3-8 heroes or whatever, you have one character, who fights using pokemon. You start with one. You get more by weakening wild ones (i.e. random encounters) and throwing pokeballs at them.

What gives it its appeal is the collecting aspect, combined with the standard RPG experience system - and the visible strengthening of your pokemon (they evolve!)

The 2 game system thing is to encourage trading. There are quite a few things in the games that encourage trading (for example pokemon that only evolve after being traded), that's just another example of one.

Buying both is a bit silly, because yes, other than the pokemon you get, there is very little difference.

And specially now that we have the Wi-Fi trading system on the DS games, the usual excuse of "I'm buying both because I don't know anybody that likes Pokemon" has been rendered useless. Of course, as long as you have a Wi-Fi signal nearby, but IMO that even easier than getting a DS at all.

Just use Pokesav (http://projectpokemon.org/editing/pokesav/) if you want to get all the pokemon, or get a team with perfect IVs/EVs.

That's what I did in Pearl. I first played through the whole game normally (beating the Elite 4).
Then, with Pokesav I just made my Shoddy Battle/Netbattle team which would normally be impossible to do, and also got all the pokemon that require you to go to events. I wouldn't want to hack in every single Pokemon, because that just removes a huge part of the replay value. :P
