RE: Gen 3 - The Most Under-rated Pokemon Gen? - Kriven - 01-23-2012
Gens I and II I think have the best designs because of the simplicity. I really hate how complicated and inorganic a lot of the newer ones are.
And also, Magmortar kind of took a shit all of Magmar.

I said "grown up" not "adult" as in "they are no longer snot-nosed brats, now they're snot-nosed middle schoolers."

Except that,
his opinion can't be wrong; it's not fact.
They do make more complicated ones than they did previously.
And there are a lot of new, complicated ones.
He said a lot of the newer ones.
He didn't say all of them.
There are complicated ones in earlier gens, but not as much so.
RE: Gen 3 - The Most Under-rated Pokemon Gen? - Maxpphire - 01-23-2012
not exactly. there are over complicated pokemon in all gens and really simple ones in all gens.
RE: Gen 3 - The Most Under-rated Pokemon Gen? - Kriven - 01-23-2012
Not exactly. I could draw all of the Gen I and II Pokemon when I was eight. I can hardly draw any of the new ones at twenty.
And thanks Proton. It's true they aren't all complex. I love Pachirisu and Piplup

I was one of the few not to gain a mindset like that. Video games can be enjoyed at any age, with few exceptions.
And also, Magmortar kind of took a shit all of Magmar.

There were no EVs, IVs
Gen 1 did have those, actually.

Also, weren't shinies not introduced until Gold/Silver?
RE: Gen 3 - The Most Under-rated Pokemon Gen? - Altrez - 01-24-2012
I like charmander.
He should have his own gen.
Charmander gen. With nothing but charmanders.
and maybe one oddish for leveling.
first gen was best gen

Yes EVs were in gen 1
Shinies and gender of pokemon were introduced in gen 2 but both of those things were based on stats in such a way that most females can't be shiny in those games.
I also might want to add that I'm very knowledgeable about pokemon when it comes to stats, shinies, gender, nature, and other such things because I breed pokemon more then battle them.

Only some pokemon couldn't have shiny females, it depends on the chance of different genders.
RE: Gen 3 - The Most Under-rated Pokemon Gen? - Maxpphire - 01-24-2012
That's also true, it was when the pokemon had a 7:1 ratio of being male I think.
