I have been out of the loop for a long time.. basically played pokemon red and I think silver.. but never went all the way through.
wondering what the newest game is and what platforms it is on.. guessing it is most likely stuck with nintendo, but would be nice if there was a pc version besides emulators

thanks!

Hey H, nice to see you in pokemon realm...

Basically if you MAYBE played silver... trust me youd know if you did..

you missed a whole lot, and as far as emulators go thats your best bet unless you wanna play some modded half assed populated online MMOs.... I prefer the real games.

theres a ton to catch up on but if you want to get into pokemon go, and pokemon sun/moon nows a very good time to start and buy a DS... I got a 3ds and i never put it on 3D mode because 3d mode fucking sucks.

i think gold was release at the same time is silver which is the only reason I questioned if I played silver. I know I didn't get very far into it because there were so many pokemon I didn't recognize.

maybe I should just leave pokemon as a good memory.. lol. I remember the first 151 pokemon if there are over 700 now I don't know if I want to try to learn them.

also was hoping to play online with my sister. don't see her that much and saw she posted something about pokemon on her facebook so thought it might be neat if they did have an online version we could play together.

If you want to play the actual games, emulators are your best bet. some fan-made games are out there like pokemon insurgence and super pokmon eevee edition. but if you want to do pokemon battles in the competitive scene, Pokemon showdown is a good place to get familiar with newer pokemon

You should try Pokemon Liquid Crystal.
Thats my favorite pokemon game.

Gen2. Upto lugia, ho-oh and celebi.

Its fan made based on Crystal and FireRed.

This is true. Liquid was probably the best hacked rom out there...

There's also a few good MMOS too dude...

Just look what everyone here is FT or I SOLD you'll find an MMOS or two
