>>Flat out false. There are numerous things which unova did that set it apart. It was the first pokemon game which forced you to only use the new pokemon instead of mindlessly using the old ones.
>How is it mindless to use the old Pokémon? There were around 490 something Pokémon before it, and no way someone would've used them all. The whole "they hated it because no Charizard or Pikachu" is such a disingenuous argument it's not even worth talking about.
>>It's story was more of a focal point. >Mega's, Z moves and Dynamax all fundamentally break the game. Something which isn't true of black and white.
>This isn't something exclusive to Gen 5 though? Gems 1-4 are also free of the gimmicks.
>You also forgot to mention that all of the sprites were now animated, Which gave pokemon unique personality quirks as opposed to the new 3d models which all have them in "default" mode.
>While the 3d models are absolutely souless, the animated sprites were an absolute pain to look at since they tween like crazy and just look really unpleasant.
>>Berry farming is a nothing feature, and the bottom screen was used for dream world mechanics. Which was how you got hidden abilities.
>How is it a nothing feature, just because you say so? So removing features is fine as long as you decide if they're good or not?
>>>Each pokemon per gym leader had much stronger movesets. For example, Lenora's watchog had retaliate which was 140 base power when you beat the herdier, Which would be doing a ton of damage, And even after that 70 base power is nothing to scoff at.
>Not only is this not true and just a few exceptions, but that still dodges the point that BW needlessly nerfed the gym leaders to have only 3 Pokémon, and even more egregiously the E4 only 4 Pokémon.
