>>30894251>You've made no argumentExcept I have. Gen 5's metagame was trash thanks to weather wars and genies being so prevalent above all else.
Gen 5's sprites were stretched, distorted, and warped almost beyond recognition.
Gen 5 started the trend of cutscenes every 5 seconds and now we have Sun and moon.
Gen 5 also marked the point in the series where the games stopped being about the protagonist and started being acout the protagonist's friends.
Gen 5 locked you out of 400 established Pokemon for no reason other than to be the "new" gen 1 and it failed miserably.
Gen 5 introduced so many new Pokemon they ended up rehashing older Pokemon, which defeats the purpose of locking the older Pokemon to postgame.
B/W have one of the worst postgames in the franchise, Black City and White Forest are jokes and the Kyurem town has nothing in it.
Hard mode is locked until AFTER you've beaten the game.
Gym leaders are forgettable and weak.
N is obnoxious and has an awful gimmick that makes him the easiest villain in the series.
The plot is obvious and cliche and that wouldn't be that bad of a thing if it wasn't shoved on you every few steps.
Musicals and Movies are one of the worst additions to the series bar none.
The UI of the bottom screen is the worst out of the DS family games and its a damn shame because Gen 4 nailed it in both DPPt and HGSS
The starters are generally considered to be the worst out of the series.
Hidden Abilities are a nice addition but the method of obtaining them is often ridiculous, which is poor design considering most Pokemon are worthless without their HA.
Seasons were a good addition but GF actually thought people would be playing the game for a year afterwards.
Unova is the shortest and most linear region yet.
Most routes in the game are straight lines.
The E4 must be defeated twice to become champion and their teams do not change between fights.
Gen 5 was garbage.
