Gen 5 got hate for a number of reasons:
>Black and White had absolutely no old pokemon that can be caught in it. All 156 pokemon there were all unova.
>It is believed to be a soft reboot.
>That's right! There is NO Pikachu or Eevee.
>A combo of the aforementioned whipped people into a frenzy, flipping out over ice cream cones and garbage monsters for how "unoriginal" they are. Keep in mind this is the same series that started with a sludge monster and normal birdies, and balls.
>Emboar is fat. Is also the 3rd fire/fighting type in a row. Game is easiest with Emboar, especially if you keep arm thrust.
>Serperior's strengths are not immediately apparent, also some apparently don't like it grew out of its tiny leaf legs.
>Samurot's sprite fails to capture how cool it is. A lot of people for the longest time did not know those shells on its arms are long shell swords. Also it's not a biped like its two previous forms. Like imagine if it was Blastoise. Its sprite has its cannons withdrawn and hidden and only in things OUTSIDE THE GAME it's from, is it revealed that turtle has cannons in its shell. That is what happened with Samurot's sprite.
>A lot of people did not care for the 'serious' questions the story poses about right and wrong.
>A lot of people did not care to the point they didn't pay attention to the fact Team Plasma is a cult and that their cause is one big fat lie. An obvious one at that. They were evil pretending to be good guys (who also steal pokemon for a 'just' cause).
>A lot of people did not like how frequent the game halted for the story. You can't skip it, so I hope you like N taking you on that ferris wheel.
>First game where the box Legendary is easy to catch.
