The thing about the casinos is not the fault of Game Freak, it's because of the changes in the classification systems.

Putting gambling takes the game directly to be for over 12 years. It is not viable.

True but what you're insinuating is that GO pulled in so many users and brought back older players because is started with just the OG 151, not the fact that it was a Pokemon that cost everyone literally nothing to play. Of course it got 70+ million people to play it. The OG 151 aren't selling a $300 system.

It definitely contributed, how much it did is up in the no one knows for sure though. I think GF going to yellow is def a sign they think it played a decent size role in Go's success.

I hope all 807 Pokemon and their forms are aviable in the game. Even if it is just post game. But I hope as well they make another short VCG format. And I wouldn't mind if it is Kanto dex only Pokemon, but maybe that's too short though. I repeat what I already said before:

- VGC is 2v2, not 1v1.
- Special stat is now splitted.
- Pokemon now have abilities, natures, new moves and can hold items. And maybe there are new abilities, moves and items in these games.
- There may also be some new mechanics, as there were with Mega Evolutions and Z Moves.
- TONS of mechanics changed a lot from gen 1 to gen 7. The 1/256 miss, the speed crits, etc.

And these are only a few points. If the leak is real I would hate no more than 151 mons on the game. But from the VGC format I wouldn't mind. It is also another incentive to returning players to try VGC with the Pokemon they are familiar with.

Remakes are always really great at adding amazing features that GameFreak promptly erases from existence ASAP. The thing that made me buy Leaf Green for example was how the Pokedex let you search for Pokemon based on the biome they inhabit, which went a long way in making them feel like real creatures.

Agreed. They have such solid ideas that work out so well that are completely gone the next game. Really hope they incorporate a lot of great features the remakes had in future games. But Gamefreak doing something like that is probably never going to happen

...which practical example ? Fire Red vs RSE ? You're talking about a situation from 15 years ago. In the meantime here, Pokémon GO happened.
15 years ago is when there were more of the playerbase had played generatiom 1 and only generation 1. It's when your argument would have been the strongest. And is far more relevant than your 'free pokemon game that doesn't require purchasing new hardware was played by a lot of people' nonsense.

It looks like this:

I did not notice before that this is the area on route 21 just below pallet town. The shape of the island matches and the two boulders underneath from FireRed/LeafGreen

Gen 3 are my favorite games and ORAS ruining the soundtrack, adding in dumb garbage, toning down the difficulty, redesigning Mauville, skipping Frontier, really made me dislike the game. Emerald far superior

$60 is worth it because we finally get to go back to Kanto for the 4th time.

You're paying for quality over quantity really.

Obviously because it's the first pokemon game. Kinda hard to balance stuff in that time period. They could fine tune it now.

I think that leak means the region will only have Kanto Pokémon, not a mix of old and new. New evos should still be there, I don't see them blocking those off.

It really wasn;t hard to balance things back then. Less than five minutes of thought would have told them that making Gengar part poison was a terrible idea and having special attack and special defense being a single sat was a terrible idea.

I don't think gen 1 has anything to do with the game success. It's a free Pokemon game on mobile. Simple.

You're saying that like it's the first free Pokémon game on mobile.

It's when your argument would have been the strongest. And is far more relevant than your 'free pokemon game that doesn't require purchasing new hardware was played by a lot of people' nonsense.

Yeah no, we'll have to disagree here, Pokémon was at its strongest when GO released, and numbers only prove what I'm saying, you can deny that and pretend that "it doesn't count because it wasn't a real game sold at full price", but the facts are the facts.

-------

I'll stop here with my posts, the mood is getting kinda toxic here and it will keep being worse until the actual reveal happen when, as it always is with every heavily anticipated Nintendo reveal, most fears will be appeased. Until then I'm out of this thread unless something big happens again.

If you modify the balance so that the first 151 Pokémon are balanced with each other, you destroy the balance when they return to the fold.

Unless then you change them again. Which is absurd.

I'd say locking it to 151 would annoying at worst. If the idea is to overhaul the franchise, then I think it's a disagreeable, but understandable way to do it. I'd just hope that the rest of the game would merit it.

How? HGSS packed in so much content on top of giving a revamped Johto-Kanto journey. It's not without it's problems, but objectively, ORAS doesn't come close to the amount of content that you get in HGSS. Even worse when you consider how much GF ignored Gen III's features when developing ORAS.
As someone who doesn't find the original G/S all that fun to play through OR/AS wins out for me just for that reason. The Kanto part of the game is barely anything and the Battle Frontier is just copy/pasted from Platinum.
