Since B/W came out, does anyone play Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver anymore? I don't.
 
Yeah man, I will never play those games again. I threw them all away.
 
I still play them ;)
...Mainly because I don't have B/W yet, but I doubt I'll stop playing the Gen IV games. I will never put down HG/SS. :)
 
I still play HG/SS, As I traded all my stuff to White and re-started, but Pearl...almost never. I still keep it just for the sake of it, though.
 
I do. LV100 wi-fi battles FTW!

Oh, and I have a lot of friends who dislike Gen V or don't have it.

This too. Gen V was a great big letdown for me. Also, I hated the lack of LV 100 Wi-Fi battles.
 
One reason I don't play them anymore is because I already transferred my pokemon.
 
No, I don't. Black and White are such a huge improvement in every area, especially speed, that going back to 4th Gen has become impossible to me. The few things it did right are let down by... everything else.

I liked Platinum a lot, but fact stands I didn't have anything else to play. Now that I've experienced 5th Gen and all its sheer epicness, 4th Gen's shortcomings, and especially its sluggish and boring gameplay, become too grating to try playing them again.
 
I`ve grown so fond of the 156 new Pokemon that it can be hard for me to go back to Pokemon games without them. Still, HeartGold is the only game I have with move tutors, so if I want a Pokemon with any of those moves, I will train it there, then send it over to White. I have no use for PBR any more and will probably sell it soon, but Diamond Version might be good for another playthrough. I like to play Gen 3 sometimes, though.
 
Although I own White, I still regularly play Gen IV, and even III. Each has certain aspects that I think were done best in that generation than in either of the others.
 
I still play Gen 3 and Gen 4. I'm actually going through all the Gen 3 games again now. XD
 
I play my SoulSilver from time to time, if I want a Pokémon with a move that can only be learned there (Grumpig with Heal Bell and Golem with Sucker Punch, for example). Otherwise, I don't. I think Gen V is a HUGE improvement over Gen IV.

Thing is, rare candies don't give you EVs/IVs, and you can't undo them either. It's why I don't use them.

Well yeah, but that`s why you EV train first, then you use the Rare Candies, works every time. I can`t do it on White though, as I have no way of updating my AR to work with it, another use for Gen 4 then, I guess.

I do, since transporting to BW takes way too long. If I do actually transport in the future, I'd transfer only the 'mons that I trained exceptionally well, instead of everything.
