>>23410213Gen V is in my opinion a huge mistake. Something that doesn't belong into the franchise. It had some great improvements in comparison to the previous games, especially the menus, text speed, fast battles, free space, sorting function and finally a fucking scroll bar in the bag so you dont have to go to the bottom of the bag for an hour like an idiot (Thanks Diamond/Pearl).
The thing that ruined the game for me is the shitty leveling system. Who came up with that shit? You get an experience bonus if you are underleveled and malus if you are in a higher level than the enemy. For me, that means that I cannot make the game challenging by skipping trainers, because the bonus makes me catch up too fast. I can't keep my beloved low BST shitmons a few levels above the rest of the team to compensate, because of the exp. malus. I end up training my shitmon 2/3 of the time and the rest of the team catches up like nothing. Thank god they realized their mistakes and went back to the old system in gen VI.
Also, I hated the game graphics. How everything that is far away melts into an undefined mess, like people in the city losing their eyes and mouths. If you can't into 3D then you should stick to the classic Pokemon look like HGSS/DPPT.
The moving sprites in battles are also disgusting, it's a pixelated mess.
