First and Second generation are my favourite pokemon. Favourite game's HeartGold. always thought Gold/Silver were the best games, I mean come on, 16 badges.., so having it updated with all the other pokemon and new graphics was perfect.

seriously though, how fucking cool is bulbasaur. fuck you charmander kids.

There are now 650 Pokemon, which is way too many to wrap your head around.

A question for you Pokegeeks, can you find all 650 in the latest game, Black/White2? Or do you need to play other versions and trade them in?

you can never find all the pokemon in one game. I think there's still some pokemon that are impossible to legally get.

I think three is easily the worst.

this was one thing I really liked about it though.

Yeah, might be just a case of bad memory but I never really enjoyed them all that much, in terms of gameplay and the new pokemon and I haven't replayed it since because I wasn't a big fan then. It's been a while since I've played four as well but from what I remember I thought it was better than three, can't think of any thing too bad about it. and I've been playing 5 recently and that's pretty good. So I'm just basing my opinion on memories so take it for what it is..

Yeah, I got that you meant it was a positive, I just meant for me, as someone who didn't like them much, that was one thing I really did like.

I think the only pokemon I really liked from gen III was Torkoal. Rayquaza was the only decent legendary.

reading through this page reminded me I did like a few of them though, Flygon was cool.
