i wouldn't even call any AS show experimental, for the most part

its more "you're all dumb stoners, you'll just watch any shit if there's lots of colors, swearing and blood"

and well, tim and eric occasionally makes me laugh because of how weird and stupid it is

but yeah, i can still recognize its not very good

Fire Spin in Gen I is such fucking garbage.

so many things in gen 1 are garbage

psychics being way too fuckamazing

bind/wrap/fire spin etc, especially when combined with paralysis

special attack/defense being the same thing

entire types that basically have no good moves (especially bug)

Dig is actually useful.

This is so weird.

Toxic/Fire Spin Charizard.

Charizard is a good staller. Go figure.

Gyarados is really good. Excellent Special wall and Special Attacker.

Then it kinda sucked for a couple generations before it got good again.

AAAAA MORE FUCKING WRAP

gen 1 mewtwo is the most ridiculous thing in pokeyman history

you have to put thought into using him now

but back then

amnesia + psychic = dead team if they don't have psychics

and if they do its still a dead team because thunderbolt and ice beam

SUCK IT GARY

I AM THE POKEMON MASTER

Fire Spin is garbage and I hate it.

Of course, he wouldn't have had that Charizard if SOME PEOPLE hadn't insisted I pick Bulbasaur as my starter for that LP.

...

...oh good, i won another bulbasaur for my trouble

just what i always wanted even though i fucking released my venusaur out of spite, how did you know

fuck you Oak

yeah you could've squirtle and then you'd have to deal with bind/stun powder garbage

and if you picked charmander, well...

ok squirtle is garbs, let's be real here

you have no one to blame but the terror that is gen 1

I'm surprised how well this is running, to be honest, especially considering how fucking slow DS Pokemon is. I'm getting a nice steady 60 FPS with no stuttering even while watching shit on You Tube in the background. (that makes no sense. wouldn't an N64 have more shit going on than a first generation DS? whatever)

there is the occasional graphical issue that is of note

Gengar, though. Gengar is great. Just use Psychic on everything, and since you're so fast it'll crit half the time too.

Nope, the DS is more powerful then an N64 by quite a bit

Just like psp is about twice as powefull as the ps1.

Computers double in power and half in size every 2 years.

oh yeah that reminds me of another bullshit thing - crits being based on speed

did i mention gen 1 is terrible because it is

#468516: Dec 5th 2015 at 12:57:59 AM

They should be based on speed.

WonderSquid Since: May, 2012
#468517: Dec 5th 2015 at 1:03:36 AM

the only two stats you needed to pay any attention to were speed and special

Also Psychic was clearly a last minute addition, as was Dragon.

Gen 1 was an unfinished beta and it's a wonder it works as well as it does, why do people hold it up at the pinnacle of Pokemon games? If you're gonna do that at least say "Gen II was best", at least they actually finished Gen II and bug tested it, and it has the same basic mechanics sans some of the utter bullshit.

well to be fair

i guess its not really a big deal in gen 1 because you didn't have as many moves/items/abilities centered around increasing critical hit rates

with things like scope lens and night slash im not sure bringing that back would be a good idea anymore

[up]i never got those people

the special/physical move split was a huge thing and its hard to go back to before it happened for me

project64 is a really good emulator, i've been using it for years

the occasional graphical issues are annoying though

also some roms work in version 1.6 and not in 1.7 which is just weird

I question my sanity.

I did an all-nighter.

And decided at 10:31 am to listen to caramelldansen.

Why do I keep listening to this hell.

Why.

What is wrong with me.

Aaaaaaaah I am so so close to finishing my first Ironman run in X-Com. Well, I mean it's not the first I've started but still.

Already testing soldiers for psionic potential, I've exhausted all tech research thus far, my air superiority is almost entirely Firestorms and I have total global satellite saturation, putting the aliens on the back foot and preventing them from launching abductions.

No council nations have left, and I've only suffered three losses in total.

Once I finish this playthrough off, I can play FF-VII to my heart's content.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Well I just told a bunch of Gilgamesh fanboys why their golden wank stick would lose in a fight to someone.
