>>36341962>Gen 5 is reason we have all this annoying crap today. Gen 5 cut substantial battle facilities, had no reliable manner to have rematches with Gym Leaders and trainers, began the trend of major opponents only having 4 pokemon in their party, and it restarted the shitty trend of Pokemon with inappropriately terrible stat distribution that we got rid of after Gen 2.This. People who like Gen 5 love to say how "people didn't want to explore a new region" as if consumers aren't always interested in new pokemon. Unova was hated because players realized early on they were stuck with using horrendous pokemon: starters with terrible priorities, multistage pokemon that take forever to evolve, and goddamn normal types that can't learn basic HM moves.
