The last pokemon game I played was pokemon yellow when I was young. I never digged the pokemon past the first 151. are the old pokemon still in this game? will I be mind fucked if I get into this game with that many pokemons? is tehre things I need to know before playin' it?
1. When Diamond and Pearl were released they made a change to Attack and Special Attack.
For example, fire was a special move in Yellow, but now there are physical fire moves and special fire moves.
2. Pokemon have abilities now.
For example, a Pikachu has Static which may paralyze a pokemon that hit it with a physical attack.
3. You can breed pokemon, but really I've never bothered except to get the baby pokemon as caught in my pokedex.
Male pokemon will pass on moves some of which can only be gotten through breeding and the female is the pokemon that the baby will be.
4. There are now double battles which is slightly interesting, sometimes you get a cpu partner.
Also, some moves like surf hit all pokemon which can be bad for your other pokemon or teammate.
5.There are shiny Pokemon which are extremely rare and your probable not going to see one, except for a story related one that you can catch.
They are just differently colored and you'll know one when you see it as stars circle around it.
6. Two new types, Dark which are made to beat psychic pokemon which were overpowered in Pokemon Yellow and Steel which are great at defense
I think that all the major changes they've made since pokemon yellow and all 151 pokemon are still in the games.
The games are still missing a real story,any new pokemon types, and have lot of filler pokemon.
