Sinnoh was marred by bad software optimization and the stupid HM requirements. HGSS is easily the crowning jewel of the Gen, and it's a remake of a flawed (mostly from bad level progression) game.

I'm not going to lie because it's pretty petty, but my biggest issue with Gen V is that it had my least favorite starters of all the gens.

Gen V was the only time I ditched my starter during the story playthrough. Then again this was for White 2 and that game has a ton of Disc One Nukes.

Yeah, the Unova starters are really terrible, almost as bad as Gen II's selection if not worse.

On the subject, I'd like if we got a Wii U Pokemon game. Doesn't have to be a main-series game or anything like that, but even just a glorified battle sim like Revolution would be nice.

Gen II's only bad one was Chikorita. Cyndaquil was solid and Totodile makes the game a cakewalk because it's so good.

The Gen I starter I picked when I started Red back in February is Lizardon, AKA Charizard.

Heard about that a while back. I'm not too sure if the game is going to do better on PS 4 than Wii U unless they change some things about the game.

I'm predicting that people buy the game expecting the wrong thing, just like what happened on Wii U.

There's going to be a huge missed opportunity if they don't name those ports ZombiOne and Zombi4.

I think the people who are porting the game (even if they are one and the same as the original dev) are missing the point of Zombi U being on Wii U (namely the Gamepad functionality).

The Wii U version bombed from what I heard.

I don't really know what caused it to bomb, though. Maybe being Wii U exclusive hurt it. Or perhaps it was a bit too "mature" for the audience that Nintendo usually attracts.

[up]Probably because the game wasn't action-oriented and was too complicated for simpletons to enjoy.

It didn't have Mario, Link, or squids on it. And it was on Wii U. Of course it didn't do well. When Donkey Kong is struggling to hit a million, a new survival horror IP is dead on arrival on this platform.

Actually I think it sold pretty well after hitting the bargain bin for an M-rated Wii U game, but those aren't exactly high standards.

[up] It was one of the best launch titles for the Wii U. That said, most people nowadays when they see a zombie game are not expecting to feel so... powerless when they play it.

"One of the best launch titles for Wii U" is not synonymous with "good game."

"One of the best launch titles" for anything is not usually synonymous with "good game."

The problem ZombiU had was that it was Survival Horror game rather a Power Fantasy like most zombie games out there nowadays. When people went in, they were expecting another power fantasy where they could kill all the zombies that got in the way when that it not a thing you can reasonably do in ZombiU (well, maybe you can but not easily). Since they didn't get what they expected, people said it wasn't a good game and thus it got a bad rep which led to bad sales.

People hating it cause it was survival horror is one thing, but was it a good survival horror game?

From both what I've played of the demo and what I've heard from people who went in knowing it was a survival horror, yeah, it's a pretty good game.

The game's supposed to be a spiritual successor to Ubisoft's Zombi, IIRC, so porting it to PS 4 and simply calling it Zombi: (insert new title here) makes sense.

While I've only seen gameplay from back when it was at E3, I wasn't too impressed. It kinda seem like british Dead Island. And a game reminding me of Dead Island isn't really good thing.

Maybe I'm just not that impressed by it cause I'm just so damn sick of zombies at this point and Zombi U didn't really seem like it was going to do anything really interesting with the zombie concept. Maybe I might pick it up used or in a bargin bin, but it's not really a priority of mine game wanting-wise.
