>>41288664>95% of the designs were hideous and overcluttered, others could've just been evolutions/regionals hand some were just never supposed to happen.Absolutely subjective, I fucking loved a bunch of mega evolutions, lots of people did. Tying them to a held item in exchange for that +100 BST was a great decision, too.
>90% of Johtomons are useless and they didnt add any mechanic to powercreep the game. Pure bullshit, OU nearly fucking doubled in gen II and it was mostly johto Pokemon that were added. Several shit dropped from gen I to gen II as well, like Tauros or even fucking Chansey due to being outright replaced by its evolution. That's the definition of power creep you fucking moron. And don't forget it was also the curselax gen.
>Hoenn had no powercreep whatsoever outside abilities.. with barely any being useful. Also bullshit, lots of hoenn Pokemon crept older shit right out of the meta. Weather setters were such a huge leap that after just a single generation of this shit being widely available outside ubers and sandstorm, they had to flat out nerf weather because that shit became the whole game. Kyogre and Groudon were stupidly overpowered, and the former got even more so with the addition of choice scarf allowing it to just spam rain boosted water spouts with near impunity.
>Meanwhile, Kalos made like 40 more random mons over 550 BST and made monsters like 700 BST Salamence making it tower over box legendaries despite them being the strongest lorewise.BW was already getting us there with 140+ base attack and similar shit becoming normalized in OU. It happens in every fucking gen, there's always at least a few new Pokemon that totally outclass the old ones, or new moves/abilities that totally change the game. Can't believe you're bitching about power creep while defending a gen that introduced itemless megas that spam boosting Z-moves.
>Gigantamax shouldn't be good. Just cool. Stop promoting powercreep.There's nothing chad about being garbage.
