>>26469197If this was 2011 /vp/ people would almost unanimously be saying Gen 5. Unfortunately Sinnohfags have been invading the board in recent years and their opinions are so incredibly insufferable they've managed to surpass Hoennbabies in sheer obnoxiousness.
DP's region was garbage, its dex was garbage, its story was garbage, its progression was garbage, and its balancing was garbage. There wasn't a single memorable town besides Sunyshore. Just utter garbage all-around, to the point that it was the one thing on the board back in the day that genwunners and non-genwunners could agree on. GF put a lot of effort into Platinum but they could only do so much to salvage such an incredibly disastrous pile of shit.
HGSS is literally the only redeeming quality of Gen 4 and I hope we never, ever, EVER revisit it.
