Main storyline with Unova Pokemon only - good idea? - Page 2 - Pokemon Forum

I liked it this way. I do however miss the other pokemon. But maybe they will add some more pokemon from the older regions like they did with Platinum.
It felt really fun this way.

They added the other pokemon in the post-game >.>

Unless you mean, like variety of what you can get that you can't get from B/W
Then yes I agree... Having to rely on not just Gen IV but also Gen III games to complete the pokedex sucks D:

I liked the change, made the game feel fresh. However, I would take Zubat over Boldore any day. Zubat I can at least one-hit ><

I only really missed the uberpowerfulls such as Dragonite and Gyarados. I also missed my little Daycare slave, Ditto.

When I went into the caves for the first time, I was like "WOO NO MOAR ZEWBAT OR GEOWDEWD" until I found myself against a freaking Woobat. I hate the cave Pokemon. I was really happy when I ran into that Zebra once I got out, though ^.^

I however wish there were more gift pokemon or "Sudowoodoo" type pokemon.

I thought the overall new pokemon were awesome. Though I missed my favorite pokemon, Lucario, I could get it in Challenger's Cave. It's all about Volcarona in 5th Gen!!

Maybe if your eyes were gouged out, than yeah, he could be.

This was still a good idea though. It was a wonderful attempt to force us to use their new designs. I knnow I had an epic time using my Unova team.

No comment, fearing I may enrage the common folk.

Giratina · #24 07-25-2011, 12:45 AM

It didn't sit well with me. It was an interesting concept, but I found myself missing having both new and old Pokémon on my team -- excluding the Dream World Pokémon, of course.

Teddiursa of the Sky · #25 07-25-2011, 12:46 AM

Pretty much my feelings about it, Giratina. I found it nice that they put more effort in the story. They made it much more compelling than normal. I hope that continues.

Giratina · #26 07-25-2011, 01:07 AM

The story was definitely more interesting -- but I do hope they find some better villains. Ghetsis (the only threatening, real villain) seems to get kind of pushed to the back burner by N, who has a serious problem in his distinct lack of personality of any kind.

EpicZekrom · #27 08-18-2011, 09:46 PM

I thought so. I was glad to not run into a pokemon i caught hundreds of times like Geodude. At first though ti seemed harder for me. It did make it a bit hard at first with the first Gym making you face a Pokemon that was best agaiunst your Starter. Good think for panpour. (For me at least)

twistedspoon · #28 08-18-2011, 10:02 PM

i still miss my lovely Zubats. Woobat just doesn't cut it. ;_;
but, yeah, it was pretty cool having strictly Unova Pokemon pre-national dex.

at first I hated the Unova Pokemon, but due to what they did this generation, i started loving them, and now they're pretty cool. <3

I was reminded of the time I started playing R/B in the first generation. The "oh hey, something appeared! I wonder what it does?" scenario- that uncertain and adventurous feeling- was constantly maintained throughout the game. I also noticed that this time they didn't litter the entire region with a bunch of commons and designate a few different rares in each location. Instead, they designated each Pokemon to only one or two locations in the entire region and always updated the roster for wilds, keeping something new for every next route. Except for Audino, but everyone loves to beat the stuffing out of it anyway.

I agree with that ^.

But I still do dislike not having any of my older pokemon at all. I also like how involved Team Plasma was, and how often I fought my *cough* Rivals *cough*. That made it feel more believable, even if they were just fodder for my first slot pokemon lol.

Leveling was also extremely easy in this game, which I saw as a double-edged sword. It took the challenge away from the game almost entirely. Yet it was also better than grinding for untold amounts of hours against pokemon that gave only 10 percent of what Audino gave lol.

<3 Audino, papa's brand new punching bag.
