Gaming Which Pokemon you suggest on O3DS?

[Potato hoarder]

Explorers of Time was my favorite Pokemon game ever actually.

It lasted me around 100 hours of play time as a kid. Re played them to make sure that it wasn't just nostalgia and turns out, they aged well.

I've never played any Mystery Dungeon games, but I'm interested in getting into them; which one(s) would you recommend as the best introduction to the series?

I'd play the remastered version of time and darkness which is sky. It comes with special side stories that goes into detail about the parts of the story not covered. After that, I'd play red / blue rescue team. I can't play the newer games because the story just doesn't compare to explorers of sky. (The only ds game that was able to make me cry besides drawn to life the next chapter)

Cool, I'll check it out.
There are so many highly recommended DS games that I never got the opportunity to play, makes me realise how extensive the DS' library is.

i don't even know how to respond to the idea of someone crying at a pokemon game and a budget platformer aside from just stating how baffled i am at it

I remember being surprised at how far the game went on. It took me a long time and many long road trips to beat it.
Also, it did make me tear up a bit during certain times in the game (I was young when I first played it).

The soundtrack really helped. I also enjoyed heart gold and soul silver but I'd start with x/y and mystery dungeon explorers of sky.

So many good answers. thank u all. the problem here is that i am using Old 3DS and all the emulators arent working the way it should. Its really annoying. I am thinking of buying the New 3DS just coz it can run emulators way faster :/

I know Sky was like an extended version of Time/Darkness, but I didn't have it. Also from the soundtrack I didn't like the sky exclusive ones as much (but that could be nostalgia).

The exclusive songs were average. Not just you

 

[The Catboy]

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon Y!

 

[BORTZ]

Shin Megami Tensei 4?

But seriously, The Rub/Sapphire remakes are really good, but I feel like they might lean on nostalgia too much. Maybe not.

So, @Nintendo... I got my R/S remakes, now where is my R/S Pokemon Pinball remake???

 

[Clydefrosch]

Thank you all for the answers. I tried Sapphire. But soon I realised its getting monotonic. I basically do nothing else than fighting or catching Pokémon. And this i do all the time, which gets borring. I am at my first Arena fight now. The game is beautiful and the idea very nice. But its from the statt till the end all thr same routine. Am i wrong?

fighting and catching are at the center of the game.

 

[doctorgoat]

Wait, what else was he expecting?

 

[8BitWonder]

I recommend or/as, first time I picked it up I couldn't put it down until I finished it. And even after that I'm still playing it.

Thanks for all the replies. I played now Alpha Saphire and i am quite far. I already reached the middle of the map. Its all the same procedure. The Arenas are no real challenge. Where ever you are, in a cave, in a house, outside etc no buttons to push, no switcher to switch, no box to move to a certain place to unlock something. Nothing. its literally just go and collect pokemons. I understand, thats meant to be like that. But i am sure its not meant to be that linear and monotone. You are literally forced to talk to everybody but there are whole places with ppl and still you will not get rewarded. I know RPG games should be like that but not that boring. btw. the pokemon i caught at first I didnt change them till now although i caught many pokemons. You know why i didnt change them? because i used them from the beginning and their level are way too high to play with other pokemons from. I just collect them for no reason lol. I am seriously if my current pokemons are at level 30 and i catch Abra at level 7 then i sure like hell wont use Abra. I rather refer to keep pushing the other pokemons. this game literally doesnt doesnt even want to make me want to use other pokemons. But well,.... i guess I will finish this game but just because i already started it. So i will go around, fight pokemons, collect them and never use them till i finish the game.

Ps. the bicycle is awesome

Start with red, blue or yellow and work your way up through the generations

 

[keepitoriginal]

for retro i would go with Yellow ( I Feel like it has blue & red plus a little more in it (I D K why i think that) lmao then i would go with Fire Red, that's the one i liked and always will pick it. As for the newer ones not too sure i had Omega Ruby but got stuck and haven't played it since lol which as why im going to see how X/Y is or see which one to get.
