    The RBY Forum at TPM is so dead that I have completely stopped even checking it...if anyone has any idea to make it more active then please suggest it because RBY is the best game in the pokemon series and always will be, yet this forum is still dead. Maybe some kind of team rating topic or a tournament to at least give this forum some of the action it deserves. I would be willing to host a tournament if enough people signed up... Anyway post your thoughts

    Basicly, the IBT was JMC's best idea yet. There hasn't been one in awhile besides the current one, and we got good people willing to play in it. It rekindled my interest in RBY(I still battled, but I practiced alot more). I think after the current one is done, we should eventually start another one. I don't think that we should just start any old tourney, people lose interest in those easily, the best tournies are usually made by clogger or r3d, because they can get good people to join from other boards.

    Ok let us get one thing straight,RBY are not the best just because they were first.Those games have the worst graphics,and some of the worst gameplay,it is kinda boring.But the game is still good and people should play it more,and this should be a more active forum.

    It still amazes me that people made comments on the graphics of games without realising that they are old games. Of course they have worse graphics, but it's incomparable to the new games.

    There have been team making topics in here as games, there should be one around if you have a lok. Tournies, if you can sort one out are fine, but if it's to keep this forum alive, it has to be kept to this forum not moved to PBS directly.

    I knwo that it was a old game,but they could have drew the monsters in a sraight line instead it is all fuzzy and jagged.DO you see what I mean?Oh yeah and it is kinda boring...But it is still good just not the best.

    I personally don't care that the graphics suck... The point of RBY is battling, not beating the Elite Four or collecting 151 pokémon. You get nice pictures at the PBS, so you don't have to look at bad graphics. Yeah.

    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.

    I see that this place has died out because a lot of people have moved on to RuSa now. If you think about there would be no RuSa or GSC without the good old RBY. This was my first GB game and I loved it now I'm on Pokemon Sapphire and I still like the game because you can battle friends. Trading Pokemon from GSC to RBY can help with a few new attacks as well.

    Default what am I doing here

    Pikapeace made a tournament for the rby forum once that was semi-success, I dont think it'll be viable anymore to make a rby forum based tournament but it may still be the answer to put a little life in here. :[

    pikapeace's tourney was fun, and the first RBY tourney I ever participated in. Vineon and a few others who I can't remember were on my team, and basically our team raped every competitor(no one knew that vineon was the best rby battler at the time, he crushed everyone). :]

    RBY probably had the best "storyline", because it's actually a full adventure instead of just wandering around looking for some other Pokemon. Yeah, so what, the graphics suck. Who cares? It's still the best game battle-wise, and it (I THINK) has the most trainers to fight possible. Plus, it has WAY more glitches, which makes you feel like an evil cheater >=D Plus, it has a LOT more GREAT Pokemon, the Pokemon in future games are way too.. well.. "cute". These look like real fighting machines, and it's fun to battle with them.

    By the way, Crazy, I think you need punctuation in your posts because they are almost unreadable.

    Go on, Jet, keeps this forum more active XD

    What's wrong with the gameplay? The actual RBY games last longer than the GSC ones, or insanely close anyway. What would you expect from the others? GSC/RS to be worse than RBY? I think people need to show common sense.

    I think the interest in RBY from pure GSC players going to RS when they realise the battling style in RS is like RBY and they will come to learn from the best....

    But then again, they probably just stay in the RS forum....

    Spam Forum? I don't think so. I'd imagine with the news of Red and Green being remade that popularity will increase somewhat.

    This forum is very capable of being active, but what happens is exactly this: people go to this forum for a little while and then they see the G/S/C forum and they go "omg new technology X)" and they go there. Then they go to GSC for a while. When they see RS, they go yet again "omg new technology" and they go off to there. It's very frustrating to me, because I enjoyed Yellow very much. This forum deserves more than the activity gives it credit for. Yeah, sure, you could make tournaments and games and anything you could think of, but it still doesn't change the fact that people like things that are newer. I must say, though, Red, Blue and Yellow are probably the best games in the Pokemon series. Case closed.

    As for the remaking thing, yes, if they do remake those games for GBA it will make RBY a LOT more active, because as I said before, it will be the newest technology and people will like it simply for that.
