>>43651625>Emerald, HGSS and B2/W2 are better than Platinum.No. HGSS is alright, but Platinum is more challenging.
>They're the same formulaic characters as in previous gens though.Except Sinnoh characters had depth. Take Cyrus for instance. Cyrus was a best villain because he actually had a understandable goal and motive. He wasn't some retard like Archie, Maxie and Rose, however he wasn't some one note evil villain like Giovanni and Ghetsis.
>On the contrary. This was when Pokémon really jumped the shark in terms of lore. It was already getting pretty bad in Gen 3 but 4 was the drop that made the cup overflow with the retarded creation deity and other dimension bullshit.Cry more. You didn't complain when humans somehow clone the ancestor of all pokemon and turn it into the "strongest" pokemon.
>Anyone who thinks Gen 1 doesn't still have the best dex is a false fan.Gen 4 took Kanto pokemon and gave them better evolutions. Sinnoh also had the best starter lineup and pokemon like Lucario, Garchomp, Weavile and more.
>Sinnoh is not a well designed region. It lacks loops to make the backtracking it demands more interesting. Hoenn is much better because it has such well thought out connections as Rusturf Tunnel or Meteor Falls, among others. And Hoenn has better dungeons, too.What are you talking about? Did you miss the whole route 212 - 214? Also, Mt. Coronet was more well thought out then Rusturf Tunnel or Meteor Falls.
