>>27037652It plays poorly
The games leveling isn't balanced(had to use alot of Xspecials and Xspeeds on my palkia
Cynthia isn't as cool as Steven
Gen 5 had a way cooler Elite 4
The regions layout was confusing and stupid(Unova was simple and straightforward)
Empoleon got shat on by Infernape and Torterra
Probopass, LickyLicky and several other shitmons
Worst Safari zone evar
I could come up with more but Gen 4 was clearly worse than Gen 3 and worse than Gen 5
