>>41565827Bitch you know it's true. Nobody except mega-autists cared about Pokemon battles before Gen 4. The split made the game interesting enough to actually put effort into, even if it was still horribly unbalanced. It opened up a crazy amount of options that we straight take for granted now. Not to mention it councided with the time most of us got easy access to online battling. 4th gen is factually the starting point of the modern battle meta.
