>Story should take a backseat to the adventure. The stories in the first 2 gens were super simple, but they never felt intrusive like in later gens. Especially in 6 and 7
>Totems were a nice change of pace from gyms
>If gen 6 had gotten a Z Version, it could have rivaled Emerald, Plat, and BW2 in quality
>The "perfect" pokedex size is just over 100. Gens 1, 3, and 5 suffer from quantity over quality. Gens 6 and 7 mons are almost all good, but there's so few of them. 2 and 4 are just right, but are bloated with pre-evos, evos, and in gen 4s case a ton of legendaries
>Legendary pokemon should be rewards for exploration and not given out as part of the main story
>The "evil team trying to use a legendary pokemon to take over the world" thing is overdone and needs to stop
>Tepig is the worst starter in the series, and this is coming from someone who almost always picks the fire starter
>Megas and Z Moves were good
>Saying "but it's supposed to be a mimic" to defend Voltorb is like saying "but it's a deer" to defend Stantler. You're not telling me why it's good, you're just saying what it is
>The reason /vp/ blindly loves gen 5 is because it was their first game. The same reason genwunners defend gen 1 so hard
>While OW encounters work for some RPGs, Pokemon is not one of them
>all the gen 8 starters are good
