Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon (New starters and cover legendaries revealed)
yeah even though I consider emerald to be my all-time favourite pokemon game, I still have so much nostalgia for Gen IV, especially Platinum. Explorers of Time/Sky were some of the best DS games I'd played when I was young as well. Honestly it feels like that generation was so good because it felt really long, as opposed to Gen V and Gen VI which have both felt really short. then again that might just be nostalgia
Also, anyone else think that Sinnoh as a whole was a fantastic region? Despite what people say about excessive backtracking I actually appreciated the importance of having to revisit towns because it gave them all purpose as opposed to B/W and X/Y's 'visit one town for a piece of narrative, never return unless it's got the move tutor' shtick. They even handled shitty areas like caves and ice routes well. Mt. Coronet continues to be my favourite cave area in all of Pokemon because once you hit that snowy region, you really felt like you were climbing a mountain. Not to mention the Distortion World, which was incredible. Platinum probably had the last good post-game GF has ever released with an entire island you could explore, the battle frontier (Castle and Roulette were top) and your own frickin HOUSE. the one thing i'll admit is that the music (and visuals) were clearly outdone by Gen V, but story/region-wise, Gen IV has yet to be topped.
also seals
I wouldn't be upset with a D/P remake so long as they base them off of Platinum and not D/P.
