I saw this thread in the archives, but since it's not allowed out, I finally built up enough nerve to make a new one! ^^ After all, it's missing info from XD, DPPt, and I forgot the other game now... owo;;; So I need your guys' help to finish it! ^^ The Original Thread Just a thoughtful thread. What did each Generation of games give us? What did they have wrong with them? Consider each generation internally; don't compare, say, Yellow's graphics to Ruby's. Each following post will have each generation. So RBY will be one post, GSC another RSE/FRLG, etc. Feel free to post your own, and I'll happily add them in! If you see something that wasn't mentioned in the first gen, feel free to mention it! ^^ BTW, does anyone have the link to the website for customizing a background in Emerald? [Note- I didn't think up all of this at the creation of the thread. Most of this [RBY-Emerald] is from the old thread. Stuff written in bold are NEW ADDITIONS.] GENERATION ONE. Red/Blue:+Gave us Pokemon. Duh.
+The first 150 Pokemon.
+Rival kept you and your attitude in check.
+You could buy Pokemon from your gambling winnings, as well as TMs. I knew being good at slots was going to pay off into Video Game land!-Using an HM meant it never came off. Yay, Venusaur with Cut! stare
-No Mew that wasn't from NOA or sharked in. That is, until the Mew Trick came up.
-You can never rechallenge trainers you previously faced except the Elite Four. So once you smite them, you smite them. Forevers.
-Psychics kicked the a** of everything, which prompted teams of nothing but Psychics and cheap bastards. Bah.
-Missingno could bone your game royally.
-Dittos suck. Majorly.
-I want that TM! s**t. The pack's full. Time to use s**t.
-I beat the game. Now what? Oh, just play the elites over and OVER.Yellow:+Pikachu followed you around, being all cute and s**t.
+With a Surfing Pikachu, you got a new minigame - Pikachu's Beach
+First time friendliness came into play (Pikachu)
+Better Sprites than before - with some color to them
+All three Starters available in one game
+Cities changed color as you enter/exit.
+Look, it's Jessie and James!-Couldn't evolve Pikachu unless you traded it and evolved...but that was the point.
-Still that problem with TMs.
-Ditto still useless.
-My pack is still full. I knew I should have left the map.
-I beat the game. Again, now what? Oh, I have Red, but after that...Stadium 1 (American Release):+3D Pokemon. So that's what Geodude looks like from behind. +The Battle Tower. Now build around just three, punks. +More Minigames. +First time the Pokemon games connected/were released on a home system
+Doduo and Dodrio Gameboy play modes. You can now smite people up to 3x faster!-Somebody kill the announcer. Please. Snap:+Hey, it's something different to do! -There's not a lot of Pokemon, are there? -I beat the game. Now what? -Oh, look, they do the same thing EVERY TIME. How special.

GENERATION TWO.
Gold/Silver:
+100 new Pokemon.
+Color! Full color!
+Eggs. Now I can just breed the starters instead of keeping them from each game, and use breed moves, and Ditto is no longer useless.
+Time and day based stuff. It get dark! It gets light! It's Thursday! whee
+Dark comes in and makes Psychic metagamers BOW.
+Two New Eeveelutions.
+Could go to Kanto!
+Trainers have names, instead of just Younster # 3.1457eleventyNethdoesnotknowPi.
+Nastier rival. God, what a b*****d!
+I beat the game. Now what--ooo! Kanto!
+Berries mean never having to use a full heal if you don't want to.
+Mystery gift! Lookie my room, with its Pikachu bed...
+Pokegear means phone calls, no map to carry, and radio.
+No being forced to hold on to HMs anymore!
+Steel types introduced. Magnemite no longer sucks.
+ Special Splits into Special Attack and Defense. Two more Stats!
+New balls mean new ways of catching things.
+Bug Contest.
+PC program is updated so changing teams is easier.
+Bill CALLS you to let you know that your PC is full. And you can get his number to check the status!
+The first female grunt was introduced to Team Rocket.
+New gambling minigame.
+Pokemon Daycare now accepts HM Pokemon!
-I want my GS BALL. Like yesterday.
-Way to go, Kurt, you make ONE BALL AT A TIME. I need 12.
-Cinnabar gets ********, the Seafoams get invaded by whiny old Blaine, the Powerplant is back up, the kickass Pokemon Tower is replaced with a radio tower, The Safari zone is shut down because no one could think to get a new Warden, and they've ran Moltres off of Victory road. Joi. evil
-What do you mean I only get one of each stone? I want a Raichu AND a Jolteon, thank you.
-Getting beat in the bug contest by some punk with a Butterfree.
- Trainers will call you when their ready for rebattle...or any other bloody time to say nothing of use.
-Team Rocket = Total pussies. "Wah! Come back, Giovanni!" Psh. What the s**t?
-What is the point of Aipom?
-Time Machine meant many people took the tradeover way out of beating the game.
-Game short; used Kanto's Elites instead of their own.
-The Elites are weaker, too. And unrealistic. C'mon Lance, did you really evolve Dragonair into Dragonite BEFORE lv. 55? What were you REALLY doing at the Lake of Rage incident?
-Many nice Pokemon unavaliable until later in game.
-Chasing the dogs. Everywhere.
-Whoever first said "Pikablu" should be beaten. With a stick.
-Whirlpool? WTF is that?
-No Pokeflute. It's back to buying Awakening/Full Heal.
-Swarming. Ugh. I hate calculated hunts.
Crystal:
+Female Trainer first introduced. Yay! I can stop crossdressing!
+Suicune part of the plot and stays put. One less dog to chase.
+Much more detail to buildings. The Burnt Tower actually looks burnt, not just shorter.
+Buena's Password means points! Points buy stuff! And you can get her number!
+The Pokemon move when they come into battle. How...animated.
+At least now the people calling you have, you know, personalities. And four of them will give you extra stones!
+Kurt can now make more than one ball at a time.
+Battle Tower is first introduced.
-Still have to chase the other two.
-I have to catch HOW many beasts to get to Ho-oh? And I can't just trade them? You've got to be shitting me.
-The save file/game's battery dies WAY before its time. All Gold asked me for the other day was what time it was...
Stadium 2:
+More Pokemon.
+More, new Minigames.
+Dodrio Mode means fast hatching.
+I can see my room in 3D! Yay!
-The announcer is still not dead.

Reserved for the scary event of GENERATION FIVE.
Which they're probably going to release, if the creators of the actual Pokemon said that they look at everything for inspiration of new Pokemon. [And they really are. Look at Rotom's forms.]
