I love Gen II but the games have some significant flaws, mainly the horrible level curve. The remakes are probably closer to the series' Magnum Opus due to all of the features, and they have that same level curve issue.

Johto has 3 gyms that can be challengered in any order, and thus stagnates once you reach level 25 for about half the game. And then, you won't find any wild Pokemon past level 40, and it just doesn't have momentum, SPECIALLY with Gen 4's slow gameplay.

I beg to disagree on the Magnum Opus part; Platinum felt more finished than HGSS, despite those being quite good looking, it is just that they lose plenty of that once you go in deep and find really annoying things.

Or it may be that I played HG in a year that wasn't precisely my finest, and thus I may be biased; and replaying a gen IV game after trying gen V just doesn't work (too slow!).

I mean, I sorta get why Gen 2 has so little - it was only new at the time of Melee, not Brawl or 4, and Melee was a time when they didn't have nearly as impressive a soundtrack.

Still kinda sucks though.

(also I disagree that Platinum is better than HGSS but whatever)

Platinum is a better DP, but DP was flawed technically and design-wise (region and such, not mons).

According to the English translator, Platinum added a scene where Cyrus gives a speech to his men because he told the developers of the game that Cyrus's motivations were rather unclear in Diamond and Pearl. Or something along those lines, I don't recall every detail.

On that note, if I made a top 5 list of the Pokemon characters I hate the most, one of them would be Mindy, that girl in DP&P who gives you a Haunter with Everstone.

Platinum is pretty damn good. I'm currently playing SS and seeing whether nostalgia can substitute for design issues.

Eh. I never liked platinum as much as the other gens. It was better than diamond and pearl, but still had pacing issues, and a sharp difficulty curve out of no where.

Don't get me wrong, Gen IV is still good, it's just that it's probably that DP are the worst games relative to the rest of the series.

Gen IV was important for a number of reasons, but most of them were the sort of thing that mattered more to the postgame than the main quest.

I sure said that!

Say what you will, but the jump to the Physical/Special split made it hugely enjoyable for me. Plus it has my favorite selection of viable in-game mons.

Honestly, Gen IV's mechanic changes were amazing. The games themselves were flawed, though. Pacing in Sinnoh, and some leveling issues in HG/SS as well as making it more difficult than it needs to be to get TM's. Like, the idea of the new mini-game is cool. But being unable to buy coins and only get a one-time use TM is a bit of a pain.

Worst of all Gen IV introduced the most awful, terrible, no good, very bad Pokemon move: Stealth Rock. I really hate that thing.

By the way, am I the only one here who hates Mindy from DP&P?

I don't think there's a character named Mindy.

Also, Stealth Rock isn't the worst thing ever, especially now, but that's not really a discussion for this thread.

Which alts do you guys prefer to use?

I personally only use 3 costume alts, and one gender alt.

the 3 costume alts are:

  • Black Market Mario
  • Fierce Deity Link
  • Overalls Wario

The Gender alt is: Female!Robin

And whenever my friends play, always use costume alts (and one of them uses Female!Robin).

Their preferred costume alts are:

  • Mario's purple alt
  • Luigi's purple alt
  • Link's purple alt
  • Link's yellow alt
  • Toon Link's purple and yellow alts
  • Ocarina of Time Ganondorf
  • Ike's Chrom alt
  • Kirby's "Meta Knight" alt
  • Shulk's grey colors
  • Shirtless Shulk occasionally
  • Wireframe Mac
  • Pink Hooide Mac
  • Pink Donkey Kong

I wanna say I've seen them use Diddy's alt that gives him Dixie's colors even though they probably don't know who Dixie is. (Hell, they didn't even know who K. Rool was before I showed them the Mii costume. One of them thought he was a fucking Ninja Turtle. That's almost as bad as mistaking Kirby as a Pokemon) I find it...odd that they never use Fierce Deity Link, easily the most badass Link alt ever (alongside Dark Link).

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!

I use an alt for pretty much every character. Fierce Deity Link, American Mario, Roy (over Bowser Jr.), birthday hat pikachu, and purple Roy are some notable ones.

In fact, the only character I use without an alt is Pit.

The only alt I routinely use is Overalls Wario over Biker Wario.

I'll occasionally use Old Manondorf, Shirtless Shulk, and Female Robin over the defaults, but not always.

I use the defaults of DH and G&W due to having a special attachment to them.

I use Cyan Yoshi to match a plush I have which was the last-ever thing I bought at Blockbuster before it shut down.

I use Purple Dr. Mario because nobody else does.

I use Red Mewtwo because that's who I always used in Melee, and Green Ike because that's who I always used in Brawl.

And Pink Palutena because Princess Aura.

I like Cyan Game And Watch, Old Manondorf (white hair), Mwario (overalls with Mario's colors), Fire Mario, Luigi, and Rosaluma, Green Dedede (because of the Waddle Dee pattern on his belly warmer), Claus (or the Boney shirt), Hot Topic Ness (black Mr Saturn shirt)...

I also occasionally use Duck Hunt's Banjo Kazooie colors.

Alts... Lessee...

I really could rattle off every single character's alt because I hardly ever use the default costume, but that'll take forever.

For my mains, though, I like Lucas' red alt and Falco's cyan alt the most.

And whenever I'm in a Rest mood, I use the Jigglypuff's green cap alt and call it "sleepy time Jigglypuff."

I tend to have a specific scheme for every character I play, except Roy, for some reason.

Of those I play regularly...

Cordelia Lucina

Dunban Shulk

Black ZSS and Palutena
