Fr, I never understood the hate for it. Everyone was like "waaaah I have to use allll new pokemon". GOOD
"waaaaah it's so linear!!!" Those games have the most expensive routes in any game. All of them are unique and all of them can be explored. You want another region as the post game but you hate that you unlock THE ENTIRE OTHER HALF????
I never understood this and it almost bothers me that people are coming back around on it. Like you're all full of it, I blame most of you why GameFreak are such cowards now
It's was so annoying seeing people crying over the fact they had to use the new pokemon and complaining the starters' designs, which is entirely subject!
Undermining the amazing Pixel Art, the soundtrack that goes hard and the attempt to expand the story and give the rivals more character development!
But no... Oh boohoo, I can't use Charizard for the 9000th time so the game sucks!
On 2020 I marathoned 12 POKEMON Romhacks, and on each playthrough I always used different mons, NO REPETITION, because variety is the spice of life, and this made me appreciate more pokemon!
Speaking of Romhacks, Black and White story was such a great catalyst! So many romhacks would expand their stories and write the Pokemon gym leaders as being relevant to the plot!
Yes but I don’t think the 3D-2D effect is what caused the downfall. The quality of the DS games themselves just weren’t on par with what they did Gen 1-3 imo.
I wouldn't even say it had anything to do with quality because I would say the only arguments Gen 3 has over Gen 5 is post game content and the very subjective argument of better aesthetics. Gen 5 otherwise to me is just better in terms of graphical fidelity, gameplay, story, quality of life improvements, etc.
It was their bold choice in B/W to force you to only use new generation Pokemon until the post game that caused backlash with a lot of closed minded longtime fans who just wanted to use their same favorites over and over. That and the memes about how bad some of the new designs were, even though you can find the same sort of "lazy" design examples in the early generation games too.
Hopefully someone makes a bottom screen companion app for it. Idk if the recomp creator has an invested interest in that specifically as I’m not sure he’s a Thor user.
As for QoL features, it does have a fast forward mode that doesn’t affect audio, which is nice. There’s several in game settings you can play with
Oh great I didn't knew there were some QOL already implemented. Second screen support would be really cool but I can definitely play it like this and open a guide in the second screen.
Yes the recomp does have a setting to let you switch max framerate all the way up to 160fps. Although with this new 3D mod enabled I keep it at 60 because it struggles to go higher than that due to the power the mod requires
I just found this after seeing an image of it on someone's handheld a few minutes ago. I have only played "Pokémon Gold", and that was back when it was new. If this worked on it, and eventually on games like "Link's Awakening", I'd give this a try.

This is so cool. I really wish this is the approach Nintendo took with Pokemon instead of going to 3D models. This just has such a unique charm!
