I hated gen 5 at first, all mons looked like cancer, but after playing it 3 times (I never finished it those times), I...still hated it
Played it again and again, then I finished it after playing for some hours, bored as fuck, and I realized why I disliked it too much
1) The same pokemon all over again till you get to 2nd gym city, I mean, cmon, the femenine cat, the house-dog and the cocaine sniffer squirrel, they get pretty old after a while (and by a while I mean 30 min playing the game), everyone have one, even the gym leaders D:
Till the time you get to the 1st gym, you will have encountered
Your inicial
The repetitive as fuck trio (cat, dog and squirrel)
A Munna, and that shitty monkey that guy in the Dreamyard gives you
Those are 6 mons, and nobody would make a full team from the mons that appear early in the game lol
In hoenn, for example, by the time you have arrived at 1st gym, you will have encountered
Your inicial
Zigzagoon, Poochyena, Wurple, Seedot/Lotad/, Wingull, Marril, Ralts, Cascoon, Silcoon, the monkey in the forest, Taillow, Whismur, Skitty, Nincada, Shroomish, Abra, and maybe I missed one more or two
That makes it for about 17 mons, talk about variety
Also, gen 5 mons don't look to me like something I would be willing to go into an adventure, dude, look at Rogganrola, or Woobat, or that dog, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
But, now I don't hate it, they have some cool mons, like Excadrill or Zekrom or Kyurem (and some cancer ones, like My Little Keldeo or almost the entire Unova dex)
Another cool feature is the battle speed, I liked that battles were actually faster and HP bars didn't depleted in 5 minutes like in gen 4
But, overall, I dislike it and probably is one of the gens I like the least and one of the ones I'll never replay without a VERY GOOD excuse
