Why would Game Freak put so much effort into this generation only for it to be largely ignored and underappreciated by the masses?

It was made for patricians to enjoy, but when that didn't sell they did a 180 to appeal to genwunner plebes with X/Y. That, of course, alienated the core fans, but it's not like they give a fuck about those.

So far it seems like they're switching back to G.V philosophy with G.VII for some reason, but we can't be sure until we get the games.

Gen V sold quite well, on a par with other entries in the series.

>and underappreciated by the masses
Underappreciated by who? For the most part /vp/ really likes Gen V, as do most fans.

Its probably one of the most beloved Gens.

The people on Facebook complaining about ice cream and trash who haven't played in years are not the Pokemon fan base.

The masses enjoyed XY, but the actual fan base loves BW and BW2

(Yes I know not everyone loves these games)

A few loud whiners isn't "most people." Most people really like these games, and even if they don't like muh trash and muh ice cream, recognize that Gen V had a ton of really great designs.

Gen V being under appreciated despite being excellent is why Gen VI was average and boring.

Are you autistic? Reusable TMs is just better game design, and hidden abilities make a more interesting meta. Go back to Red and Blue, faggot.

Just because you have to push really, really hard to get that turd out, doesn't make it not a turd.

Thankfully BW2 fixed nearly everything and was fucking amazing, but BW1 was so bad the generation's reputation was already stained, and of course many of the shiteaters who thought BW1 was actually good thought BW2 was somehow bad.

I think that what you are saying is misinformed, while it is easy to say "Muh icecream" the real criticism about design was always that because Gamefreak decided that black and white would be a "reboot of the franchise" they decided to not use any previous gen Pokemon causing a lot of the Pokemon to seem like uninspired rehashes of previous Pokemon (see klingklang, tauros with hair, and mushroom electrode). It was this that caused the problem. when i (and i assume others) complain about bad design its not that the designs are boring or ugly, its that they are to similar to mon's we already have.

Gen V suffer from the ds/3ds transition

Its a shame because the PWT and the films in Pokéstar Studios would look pretty good in a 3d enviroment
