Other Generations

I've always been a huge gen four person. It hold a lot of the nostalgia elements most people relate to gen 1. I keep hoping and waiting for them to be remade, which with the announcement of the new games, might be closer than ever.

 

Well, since we didn't forget about the first five generations when Kalos came out, I don't think we're going to forget about the six we have right now when generation seven comes out. Pokémon is a whole: all generations are important. After all, it's not like we've forgotten about those Pokémon either. I myself begun playing in Generation IV, but I have a spot in my heart for the three generations before that too.

 

Assuming that @[member="Bionic Puppy"] is talking about the competitive scenes throughout every generation so far (i.e. gen 1's mewbers, gen 2's introduction of hold items), I'd say that there certainly will never be a generation that is forgotten. Many people don't enjoy newer generations as much as the old ones, and it's often very fun and nostalgic to play the old competitive scenes.
For example, Smogon's SPL has multiple generations in their arsenal, which pays homage to past generations, and several people still play old generations in tournaments across the competitive Pokémon community as a whole. Several years of hard work and testing from older generation players are still being used to this day, and I don't see any of it dying out completely in the foreseeable future.

 

Yeah, they're making too much money of this to not keep making VC releases. The game's already made and VC probably just works with a built-in emulator, so all they need to do is add it to eshop distribution and bam! Money is being printed at Nintendo HQ.

I personally like Gen 2 more than 1 (two regions and sixteen gym leaders? yes please!) so there might actually be a *slight* chance I'll buy Silver on VC. With gameplay mechanics though, I do find it hard to play games from before the physical-special split, so I'd be most eager for SoulSilver (although since I own it on cartridge, I can't think of a valid reason to buy it again). I may have answered my own question above, but I wonder if they'll follow through with VC of the redux games too.
