>>57811089>Gen 5 Pokémon designs are lazy garbage like TrubbishNah, Unova’s designs fit its NYC vibe. Trubbish calls out pollution, Vanillite’s a fun city nod. Chandelure’s a Ghost/Fire chandelier that slaps in battles, Hydreigon’s a mythic beast. Gen 1 gave us Voltorb, a Poké Ball with eyes—Gen 5’s just as creative.
>The story with N and Team Plasma is cringeWrong. N’s arc about Pokémon ethics and Team Plasma’s scam is deep, not tryhard. Ferris wheel scene builds N up, final battle hits hard. Way better than Team Rocket’s lame theft plots.
>Unova’s linear and pacing’s trashUnova’s routes have flavor—Castelia’s urban, Desert Resort’s ancient, seasons switch it up. Pacing’s fine, post-game’s stacked with Black City. Hoenn’s water slog wishes it had Unova’s vibe.
>156 Pokémon is too many, all fillerBull. 156 ‘mons made Unova fresh. Haxorus, Volcarona, Galvantula are bangers, not filler. Gen 6’s 72 Pokémon felt lazy. Gen 5’s highs outshine its lows.
>Gen 5 fans are nostalgia-blindNope, Gen 5’s just good—reusable TMs, World Tournament with Cynthia fights, clean sprites. 87/100 on Metacritic, even Gen 1 fans replay it. Yawnfags are the ones stuck.
