>>54687121The Sinnoh games come at the perfect point in the franchise, to essentially be the most widely popular Gen. DPPt have the perfect combination of features from old Pokémon and new Pokémon:
>Day/Night cycle >Conventional berry growing >Game corner>Contests >Secret bases >Battle Frontier (In platinum)>Old Exp share >Physical/Special split>Online/wireless connectivity >Good level up movepoolsIronically, while this board berates the games for being “unoriginal” it’s the stuff it reuses, and was reused afterwards, that makes the games so popular. These features may all exist in other Pokémon games, but they don’t ALL exist in any one Pokémon game outside the Sinnoh games. This, in addition to the fact that the music, pokemon and characters from Sinnoh are all particularly popular, makes it pretty easy to see why they’re fan favourites. Plus, normal people just don’t give a shit about the sorts of autism you guys obsess over. Like, seriously? Again with the fire types? No one actually cares in practice, most probably didn’t even notice until it was pointed out to them, just teach a normal type flamethrower or something.
