>>30917036Idk about these guys cuz I'm not about to read the thread, but Gen 7 gets a pass in my book because they handled the legendaries in a refreshing new way.
Gen 4 and 5 were lame because they just piled on more of the same old "strong epic dragons" and "protectors of the land and our hearts and the bonds of friendship" and that shit is fucking torturous, there's NOTHING worse you can fill my Pokédex with.
Gen 7 made ALL the legendaries interesting at the very least, with the Tapus having actual lore and roles to play, the Cosmog line breaking the norm by being central to the story without just showing up to ruin everything, the Ultra Beasts being wacky and totally unexpected, and Silvally completely doing his own thing.
Plus, and this is my inner Karenfag talking, none of them have over the top stats, which definitely helps make them feel like more of an actual part of the Pokédex.
