[26 / 3 / ?]
I dunno why, but I woke up feeling really good and now I'm at my computer drinking a ot mug of coffee. There are six gens now, and every one of them has pros and cons. What do you think they are? Keep in mind these are opinions. Generation 1 - Kanto Pros: 151 'new' pokemon, the generation with the second largest amount. Main plot's simply just walking the lands of Kanto, getting Gym Badges and becoming the Champion. Tons of glitches to exploit. Cons:Tons of glitches to accidentally trigger. There were 32 or 33 different cries used between all of those pokemon. Getting to level 100 was a real bitch. (Though others would see that as a pro.) Generation 2 - Johto Pros:The music was pretty memorable. Two regions to visit. Two new types. Cons: Kanto was devoid of almost any new content. The wild Pokemon were very underleveled, as were the E4 The amount of new Pokemon unrelated to Gen 1 was very small. Generation 3 - Hoenn Pros: Like Johto, the music was fantastic. Tons of landscapes to explore, like jungles, volcanoes, seas, ships, deserts Gen 3 was cut off from 1 and 2, forcing players to start anew, which I saw as good. Secret bases. Cons: The enemy teams were incompetent. The beginning of the game had a shitload of trumpets. Zubat still exists. Generation 4: Sinnoh Pros: Pretty big world with memorable locales. Post-game had a lot to do. The rival in Platinum had a really high leveled team that was fun to fight. Cons: Mount Coronet, all of it. Backtracking around the 3rd-5th gyms and taking that detour to Celestia Town The shitload of Legendaries. Generation 5 - Unova Pros: Around 160 new pokemon introduced, many new typing combinations and good designs. White Forest/Black City were both amazing. The story was well-done if a little overplayed. Cons: The post-game being the post-game was unnecessary. Most of the Legendaries were spoonfed to you. Ghestis' generic plot in B/W2

Generation 6 - Kalos All of the routes had a plethora of different Pokemon to choose from. The main-game was long and engaging. Lysandre was an awesome enemy boss. Team Flare was kind of dull to fight against. Only three Legendaries. The three starters given to you at the start of the game.

GOAT generation.
The only con I could see, is maybe have more new Pokemon, but I forgot about that after actually playing it. It only looks bad on paper.

Its too bad that this thread is 99% likely to descend into a genwar, because that's what threads like this do around here, but I like your post OP.

I hate how linear the map is in B/W. It's a fucking circle, the sequel added a few lines. At least the first three looked like an actual map.

>>15620303 Not him, but I guess it's the fact that it was added then and made future games better.
No reason to be autistic about it, jfc.

Honestly, thinking about it, there wasn't all that much I liked about Gen 2. It felt like a butchered region. While this did make it feel small and quaint, the music wasn't that great coming off of Gen 1 so it took away from it. However, it added many important mechanics and balance.

Gen 5 (including B/W2) Pros: I wanted to fuck N. Cons: I didn't get to fuck N. Being serious though, I really enjoyed the entire Unova region and all of the new Pokemon. If I understand correctly B/W was their attempt at a reboot to bring old players back, and while I had played D/P/P my interest was waning. I loved the story, Ghetsis, the gym leaders, the whole thing. The biggest Cons of gen 5 are Panpour, Pansage, and Pansear.

Gen 3 for me is the gen where the very limited movepool of the pokemon is the most visible, and the one use only tm don't help. The worst is for physical oriented pokemon with a special type

>>15621745 Solid list, a few things I change.
HGSS did NOT fix the level curve issues
DP (not Pt) had awful pokemon selection
And I think BW forcing you to use only new mons before E4 was a positive.

>>15623722 It's possible to beat HGSS without grinding (although a few of battles will still be tough). HGSS added a lot more trainers for experience as well.

You think your small remark adds to your argument but all you do is insult the great and mighty lord. I swear to Arceus I will fucking find you anytime, anywhere, and I will beat the shit out of you so fucking hard, the Nurse Joys, Chanseys, and Audinos in the ICU combined won't be able to fix you. If you ever fucking make you 'oh so funny remarks xD" about Captain Lieutenant Sergeant Lord Minister King Crobat, you better prepare yourself for a fucking world of hurt, because I'll be fucking coming for you.
