>>34267151Lotta normies came into the series around late Gen 3/Gen 4 when the OG DS released and was targeted to everyone, their mom, and their dog. I imagine you'd have to have been playing since Gen 1/2 to see every iteration Gamefreak has given us to truly appreciate what Gen 5 was able to accomplish. Music, sprites, post-game, streamlined comp, story.
Honestly I think it's Gen 4 fags being as immature as Gen 2 fags when it comes to nostalgiafagging. Just one generation later Gamefreak releases the peak of the Pokemon series and they can't handle it because Platinum seemed like it was just yesterday.
