i get that gen 5 wanted to essentially be a "soft" reboot with not allowing you to use other regions' mons since the post game, the issue lies in how many of the pokemon play the exact same as gen 1 mons

if GF weren't pussies they would have changed all that up too. mess with types some to give us a new type triangle. give some shit other than torrent/blaze/overgrowth. hell start in the badlands or somewhere cold and icy, but if you still want generic normal types, stuff like lillipup would still probably fit in the latter for example.
with that said i still love the designs for the gen 5 mons
