      I also owned both silver and gold, bug never really played them because even back then the differences were marginal.

      That’s all that ever mattered to me too. Peak level Pokémon. Still got Red loaded in my OG GameBoy Pocket on my desk.

    I don’t know. On the one hand i never played a game beyond generation 4 because is did not have the hardware and on the other hand i always felt like everything after gen 3 felt like it only purpose was to make more money and to milk the shit out of pokemon. Even with gen 3 i first had my hesitations. But it’s just a personal opinion.

      I’m exactly the same as you, I think the last time I paid attention to anything Pokémon was ruby/sapphire. After that I don’t know anything. I could have a good go at naming the original 151 still but when it became a cash grab I lost interest.

      Damn! I forgot about those. I think I still have the ones that were distributed with Nintendo power. Although they are in bad shape.

      Fight accepted. Silver/Gold were the epitome. You had two areas, mother-fucking Lugia, and could battle the elite four and as a bonus, wipe the floor with your rival on specific days of the week. Plus, I can memorize about 252 pokemon. More than that and it’s just a slog. Also, newly introduced day/night cycle with time passing actually meaning something? Hot damn, son, that’s lighting a Ho-oh under someone’s ass.

        I’m still on Crystal as the single best game in the entire series. All of what you mentioned plus the Suicune story added? Plus the intro of the animated sprites for Pokemon, it’s perfection.

        yea, but the gameboy color was junky at best and only relevant for 3 years or something. Gen3 we had firered/ leafgreen, the hoenn series AND 2 gamecube games - that their graphics are to me better than the switch’s releases

    They have a bad dragon patch on their purse 😳 every time they pull something out I think it will be the strap, not lipstick 😳

    Anyway OP post this in 196, Lemmy memes clearly doesn’t understand the joke.

    I watched the original run of the anime as a kid. How has it progressed? I have a bunch of questions…

    • does it still follow ash Ketchum?
    • does it tie into the story of the games?
    • what is the general story at this point?
    • does Ash just have a team of legendaries?
    • if I were to start watching again, where should I start?

      I’ve watched a few episodes from each season and kept up on the news, but I havent religiously watched it by any means so I might be wrong on a few details.

      Every season has followed Ash, but they will be moving on to a new protagonist soon.

      It is very loosely connected to the games like it always has been. The two can be enjoyed independently of each other.

      Not entirely sure on the story, but Ash did finally become a Pokemon world champion in the most recent season, which is why they are changing the protagonist.

      He hasn’t caught any legendaries, but he has a mythical Pokemon melmetal.

      Based on what I’ve seen, you can start almost anywhere. Each season softly resets Ash’s progress. You may see occasional cameos of past characters, but each season Ash usually makes a new set of friends, has a new set of Pokemon, and starts a new story.

      1. Ended his journey literally this year February

      2. not as far as I remember

      3. up to gen 8, Ash’s story was becoming champion then master. Not gonna watch Paldea, lo siento 🤷🏿‍♀️ (gen 9, Paldea, is Spain, & Ash ain’t mc)

      4. nope, & never does as I can tell, though his Greninja was definitely doing something lol, Ash-Greninja form

      If you want to see the end of ash’s journey, I recommend watching sun and moon seasons and then “pokemon journeys” (the sword and shield seasons). Journeys are the final seasons with ash but has a few episodes that are a callback to sun and moon.

      Pokemon horizons has new protagonists, is currently airing and has about 23 episodes currently.

    There are only two good things about Pokémon, and that’s FireRed and Regigigas
