>You fell for the "Unova isn't shit!!" meme

Embarrassing to be honest.
As somebody who is an actual adult that grew up playing each gen, I can without a doubt say gen 5 is by far the worst gen we've ever had. Easily.

>Absolutely garbage dex
>99% of that dex is filled with abominations
>Literal kids embarrassing themselves by saying trash designs like Krookodile and Hydreigon are good
>Piss poor difficulty no matter how you play the game
>Unmemorable as fuck characters (I cannot remember a single gym leader/elite 4 member)
Only character that is the exception to this is N who is alright.
>Garbage team with garbage ideals

Gen 6 is far better. While both are piss easy playing normally, gen 6 is universally agreed upon as providing the hardest challenge as far as Nuzlocking goes.

The only legitimate praise I can give to gen 5 is that it has the best OST. That's literally it.

As somebody who had lost faith in Pokemon when gen 5 reared its ugly head, X&Y were a breath of fresh air and instilled some hope into me. Sure, ORAS sapped a portion of that hope away but at least Sun and Moon are shaping up to be pretty good.

Gen 6 as a whole isn't great, but X and Y are. I speak as somebody who, at first, was furious that we were getting such a tiny amount of new pokemon.
Color me surprised when almost the entire dex is filled with 8+/10 pokemon, minus 1-2 designs.
