>>41931562Gen 5's poor reception wasn't the reason for all the pandering we have today. Unovabortions like to spin this narrative like they're the last saviors of pokemon and that no one understands how underrated their games were. The pokemon franchise was already on a downward spiral and no sales could have changed the discourse of pokemon the way it is today. GF played all the tricks and it's only now viable to all the dumb pokefans who were blindsided by nostalgia, to see them.
