>>43878545gen 5 pokemon are unironically child-friendly, 'playing it too safe' retarded looking, googly eyed cartoon shit.
that is the issue.
gen 6 gave us kanto style pocket MONSTERS back.
gen 5 pokemon look like they were designed from the ground up to appeal to toddlers. they look like cereal box mascots rather than pokemon. it's a fucking travesty and now i have to look at this shit every day because they have power crept to fuck stats and movepools making most of them good in competitive.
what a fucking disgusting gen.
