Ive decided that i should make a thread comparing and rating the 5 generations,and so here it is:
this rating system is based on 4 things:
pokemon design creativity
new features or mechanics to the franchise
music and graphics
plot and regional design
this will also have a rating system of 5/5,4/5,3/5,2/5/1/5,0,and a 20 points max(20 points=5/5 for all of the aspects,perfect)
Kanto bio:the first generation,and a great starting point to an even greater series
pokemon design:4/5 good,but some were not very great
new features:5/5 the first game so all of them were new,but some were the first by any game of the RPG genre
music and graphics:2/5 graphics bad even for gameboy,music was plain,and glitchy programing was bad aswell
plot and regional design:3/5 plot was ok,regional design was nothing to great
Johto bio:a small region with another in it,so their are 16 badges,though that doesnt make it a long game,or a good one
pokemon design:4/5 great,but falls just short of perfection
new features:1/5:horrible.almost a copy of the pervious game.
graphics and music:3/5 graphics had a lot more color and were sharper.music only slightly better
plot and regional design:1/5 same plot basis,same group(team rocket),and so small they crammed another region in it,and one that we've already seen at that.
Hoenn bio:a new generation on an all system,and the graphics get an upgrade,but is it as good?
pokemon design:4/5 wonderful new pokemon,some made me gag,but great all the same
new features:5/5 double battles,better gameplay,and a load of new features and moves were introduced
graphics and music:5/5 great graphics,incredible music.truely impeccable
plot and regional design:4/5 not perfect,but pretty darn close
Sinnoh bio:the first pokemon game for ds,improved graphics,and plot show pokemon is serious with its ds future
pokemon design:0 disgusting,horrible,not worth looking at
new features:3/5 online play is good,but hindered by friend codes,and the special/physical split changes the new metagame
music and graphics:4/5graphics are good,music only average,maybe worse.
plot and regional design:3/5: ok plot,good regional design
Isshu bio:the hype about this generation is incredible,but is it worth all of it?(yes i have a copy,and do know enough japenese to understand what their saying)
pokemon design:5/5 its incredible how nintendo reinvents old pokemon concepts with better ones,and still has new and fresh pokemon
new features:5/5:triple battles,shooter,dream world,better online features and gameplay,moving pokemon,online save file,better pokemon transfers,faster battles,i could go on forever,and all of them are great!
music and graphics:5/5 incredible graphics,and the changing music is a great new idea,and the music is good!YES!
plot and regional design:5/5 great design,and the plot is different and much,much more involved then other games.
the final verdict:
kanto:15/20 a good start,= to a good series,and a great standalone game
johto:9/20 a horrible second game,almost killed the blooming franchise
hoenn:18/20 a good game shy of perfection,saved a growing franchise and led it to a bright future
sinnoh:10/20 good in some aspects,though the bad pokemon designs hinder it
isshu:20/20 you could play it for 3 years,and never waste a second on this great game
bad:johto,sinnoh
good:isshu,kanto,hoenn
this is based on my opinion,and i thought some of you would like a non-professional take on the series,and i try not to be over critical,but i understand if i come across that way.feel free to critisize,it makes me better at this!
