>Cool new Pokemon.Every single gen has had cool new Pokemon, and gen 4 had the absolute worst designs in the entire franchise, not to mention those abominations ruined the game balance by having even the shittiest of the pokemon still somehow have higher base stats than the strongest gen 2 pokemon
>Fun to play through.Not even remotely. So much shit just felt like a forced chore. Really fucking ruined the concept of Rivals once and for all. An unprecedented amount of garbage legendaries.
>Interesting areas to explore.Again, not at all. Literally the only thing I remember from gen 4 is the spook mansion where you catch Rotom, and I replayed Platinum RECENTLY. Like, a month ago.
>Had a wonderful remake of Gen 2.That doesn't make DPPt good.
Really the only thing gen 4 had going for it was HGSS and being the last gen with sprites that weren't offensively ugly. Seriously, what the fuck were they thinking with the way Gen V's sprites were animated and with the forced depth of field shit?
