>>37370788>>37370780>>37370798>introduced hidden abilities>god-tier battle sprites instead of gay static animations>actually good story that isn't barebones "LE DESTROY THE WORLD WITH LEGENDARY POKEMON". we actually have rivals who learns their own place. the main villain's goal is actually realistic>music is god tier>PWT is god tier>156 pokemon (still the most introduced to date>seasons>so much QoL improvements (Unlimited TM's, pokemart combined with pokecenter, reduced HM usage, can finally trade from PC box)Also
>so much fucking detail (the music played when on low health, pokemon's have impact on the ground depending on their weight when they are sent out, the game camera is more realistic and changes instead of being plain top down)just because it didn't have battle frontier doesn't make it worse. you can use that argument on ORAS but not Gen V
