Start of the "golden age" of games

Faster engine/not terrible online/most challenging in game without bullshit

Nice sense of exploration+physical special split

And a smaller BF, but less bullshit places

Deserves top 3 recognition

It was the Peak of the series, but I think Sun and Moon came pretty close, on BW tier at least which is already close to platinum tier.

Gen 4 overall was the peak.

Sun and Moon were excellent too, but they felt a little too inconsistent throughout the game, battle/difficulty wise.

They're my second favorites right behind Platinum though.

HGSS are kinda overrated desu.

From what I've seen, most people who liked Gen 4 are old Pokemon fans who fell out of the series during Gen 3. While Gen 3 was more popular among people who grew up with it as one of their first Pokemon games.

this. played bw and the pokemon designs other than zekrom and braviary sucked or were digimon-esque. story was unfulfilling and characters that were meant to be impressive really fell short, like alder's inept ass. legendaries apart from the -dorus's were cool tho, really it's only saving grace other than the usually-cool seasonal changes

It's something that you should at least play once, especially if you were turned off by DP.

You guys get BTFO even here on /vp/ whenever we make polls, and that's because this is one of the very few places on the Internet that likes gen 5 in the first place. Everywhere else you go, you'll find that gen 5 is the majority's least favorite generation.

I can see where you're coming from. not a big fan of those myself, but I'm not one to call it off over a few bad designs since every gen has them. there are just so many that I do like that came out of gen5. braviary and mienshao are two of my absolute favorites. I could list all the ones I like but it'd take a while. but shit I didn't even play these games so I can't vouch for gameplay. I hear nice things before though and I've seen some good visuals.

Introduced wasn't the big problem for Gen 4.
It was access in general.
D/P: Didn't choose infernape? You HAVE to use Rapidash if you want a fire type.
Pt: You can also have Gen 4 Flareon and Magmar because its evo is locked behind post-game.
Actually, after looking it up, Houndoom as well. Don't remember its line in Pt.

liepard, braviary, zebstrika, zekrom, whimsicott/lilligant, krookodile, carracosta, zoroark, galvantula, chandelure, golurk (and volcarona, if it's not considered legend status). These are the only ones I thought actually looked decent, not sure why that is though. They had more of a traditional pokemon style, yknow? And the designs weren't my only issue with the series, it just severely hampered my enjoyment as I played through White the first time. They just tried to "innovate" the gameplay by repackaging several things as new, like contests, only ultimately hurting it overall.

Yeah, D/P was fucked. Platinum also had Growlithe and Vulpix available before the E4, but they were locked away behind that stupid dual slot mechanic and weren't part of the regional dex. Magmar isn't post game in Plat, there's a Magmariser right after Veilstone, and IIRC you can get more from wild Magmar.

We only have a small sample size to go on, but the most current pokemon games tend to lose favor here about a year post release, with the current "best" game being whatever you're nostalgic for, which according to fads is supposed to be roughly 10-15 years. the board was made around the release of HG/SS, so gen 4 only held a short window of popularity, but it's coming back around. Meanwhile, there's a few people jumping the gun on gen 5 love, and an overwhelming support for early gen 4 coming out of the woodwork now.

Anyone else would like a sinnoh prequel instead of a remake

From a bit of dialog it looks like cynthia started her journey in a very similar way to the player, also she remembers using a pokedex

So i think a sinnoh pequel could be kinda like this

>Female player is a younger cynthia
>Male player is a younger Flint
>Rival is a younger cyrus

All of them travel in the main story in a similar way to the guys from sun and moon, but while you fight the legendary pokemon something happens to cyrus and for the rest of the game he starts becoming more like how he is in diamond and pearl

There are several reasons why BW along with the entierty of Gen V are very ill-received by those outside of /vp/.

> Lack of Pokémon from previous generations.

This hurts in terms of nostalgia which fuels some players to hunt down their favorite mons to add to their team while experimenting with new accessible mons to see if they can fulfill the empty spaces left by the regional gap. Instead we are forced to grab nothing but Generation V only Pokémon and this can throw motivation out the window.

>Heavily plot driven.

All games prior had a very simple formula: collect all gym badges and become the Champion of the respective region while defeating the Regional Crime Syndicate in the process. This is changed by making the Crime Syndicate the focus of the actual game more than a secondary objective.

>On the rails.

Previous gens required you to accomplish certain objectived in order to advance forward, such as a task needed to get a certain HM or the a-ok to advance such as the guard in Gen I and it's remakes. Gen V instead makes those optional which breaks away from the minor objectives needed to achieve your major obiective, reducing actual difficulty of the game compared to previous generations.

>Inconsistencies with Features such as DW.

Before saying "Why not just inject HA mons.". The issue is not all can inject or are aware of resources which can aid them to inject. The introduction of HA is a complicated concept to grasp and a difficult one to achieve for those without the mentioned resources. This also discourages replayability from those who have a hard time achieving their desired goal.

>Unusual Difficulty curve in terms of Trainers.

I for one, felt Ghestis was the hardest trainer main game. I didn't struggle v. N and a lot of people I know share this sentiment. The game was a cake walk and experience wasn't terribly curved. Just the spike in Ghestis team composition compared to those before him was a great difference and it was very odd for BW.

It's almost like it's a higher level or something and atleast Pryce's Piloswine has a good ability.

Also nowhere near as bad as Fantina's Haunter having Shadow Claw instead of Shadow Ball were the difference between physical and special is much greater than Piloswine.

What? It's not really a main focus till the very end of the game. You still have to collect badges and defeat the pokemon league like any other pokemon game. B/W just made you do it for an extra reason.

Okay, what? You still do this in the main game. How does it make it easier? It really has nothing to do with difficulty. It makes no since for difficulty to be a flaw with these games seeing as how easy Gen VI in general was. Pokemon was never really that hard anyway.

I love Gen I games for their exploitable mess of a code. My 3rd Grade class TA literally got me the Gengar back then when I was a weelad and too poor to afford a GBA.

But as someone who was played consistently every Gen from III onward after saving allowance and working for it, Gen V is unappealling for all those reasons listed and more.

I could care less of goofy mons like Icecream cones or piles of toxic waste in their respective introduction generation. But hideous designs like the Genies and the deviating from tradition to attempt and grab cash is clearly some of the things that make Gen V very ill-liked in my opinion.

I'm still not even sure what the "story" was supposed to be. Something about N being a king and Pokemon PETA, and by the end a giant building popped out of the ground while you were fighting the Elite Four. It was a mess all around and stank of a low budget pretentious shounen anime plot. For a game that tried so hard to focus on story it didn't do a very good job AT ALL.

Kind of like the new roster of Pokemon actually. They really tried so hard to come up with 150 new Pokemon and the result was, well

Gen I established a tradition known as the third installment which served as including some features available from the previous two copies into the third. Now Yellow didn't do a good job at this but was still fun at exploiting the fuck out of.

Gen II onwards before Gen V had a severe improvement cap. It was take previous two games and make them better by including more content and so on. This was then broken away from in Gen V and left some notable scars.

We got a direct sequel to BW. Which would be dandy and all if only it held a candle to Gen II in terms of being a direct sequel. Second, it introduced two additional installments to Gen V instead of one. This was an attempt to exploit those who were willing to buy both copies or children who would get their parents to buy them both. The amount of units sold for these games is great but that is if you take into account there is 1 copy of each version per household.

It also retconned the lore of the third Legendary introduce that gen and instead gave us Frankenstein's monster's pet iguana.

The reason why Gen VI main series games don't have a third version is because of how unlikely it would sell due to the exact failure of Gen V with it's sequel.

Gen 4, particularly diamond and pearl, made good use of the DS/touch screen mechanics. By having the player's menus be literally what their character would see on their device, they brought a sense of immersion to even that aspect of the game. The game was actually designed for the system it was on. XY and S&M are built with the assumption the player will be amazed by 3d models in mind and the result is zones are smaller, the game runs shittier, the menus and hotkey systems mostly suck, and the game is filled with the same boring 2-pokemon "how did you beat me!" trainers that have been stale for 15 years.

At least SM finally got rid of HMs. Maybe in 2020 we can get a few more quality of life improvements that romhacks have had for a decade.

I like Gen IV and V and I can tell you why the latter "failed" in a way.

See like most anons have mentioned above, B/W tried to be so different from the status quo of the usual games.
>No old pokemon till postgame
>More story driven, main villains more tied into the plot
>Went full on 2.5D
>Had an abundance of new mons, while most were good, the bad ones really weighed them all down
>Somewhat poor advertising
>Poor postgame after the fandom was spoiled by HG/SS/Platinum
A combination of all those factors plus the fact that it didn't at all try to appeal to nostalgia, which is a HUGE part of pokemon in general, lead to B/W failing, in a since.
Now look at B/W2 and see what it did,
>Added a steady balance of new and old mons
>Plot was toned down, League and Champ was regulated to end game and not post game.
>Villains are more generic and easier to understand
>less linear in a since than B/W1, had an amazing post game with PWT to appeal to nostalgia along with a competent, not too friendly rival.
Now guess which one is better recieved in the fandom.
But even that didn't save Gen V (even though I think that B/W2 are amazing)
Now look at X/Y
>Simple plot and characters
>Villains are one note and generic as any can be
>had tons of Gen 1 pandering.
>3D
>Good advertising.
And they sold good. Now that just means that trying to break the mold with a series like pokemon will lead to disinterest and a vocal hatedom like Gen V has (at least here). Which is why games like X and Y that pander to Gen 1 and stay formulaic don't get as much hate by the normies

I agree with you here, but I think making a sequel instead of releasing the same game with improvements was a welcome change, even if I thought they could have executed it better. But I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority and most people liked B2W2 and that it didn't influence Game Freak's plans for Gen VI.

And a lot more content and features.

The story is not why BW2 is widely liked around here, and it's your average Pokemon story anyway. Not really worth mentioning that aspect of it.

>Gen II was a direct sequel to Gen I. And the remakes lived up to it. B2W2 couldn't even replicate what it attempted to be.

Might have something to do with the fact that Gold/Silver were a new generation that came four fucking years after Red/Green in addition to being a sequel to the original games.

When did /vp/ started thinking that B/W2 were worse than B/W? I though it was universally agreed to be better than it's predecessor.

Also forgot to add about how N is really bad for an attempt at a Rival. He has nothing to show as he constantly got stepped on by both the player and his father a total of four times in the story of both BW and B2W2.

While Lysandre was a bland reverse Tony Stark. He at least wasn't shit for being autistic. Just genocidal.

Lysandre was an obnoxious cult leader wannabe who the game kept trying to get me to sympathize with. Fuck Gen 6. Team flare was retarded. "Hurr Durr press one of these dumbass buttons to 50/50 end the world."

Mega-E with Swift Swim would have been good if it wasn't already so played out. I just looked through the full ability list and nothing but Full Metal Body, Analytic, and some others matched at all. It would really need a new one that matches its Regal theming.

Empoleon's primary niche is abusing its passable bulk of 84/88/101, its great support movepool, and god tier defensive typing to be a defensive/offensive support pokemon. In OU it can reasonably be used as a special defense wall. Its number one biggest issue is that its lack of access to recovery makes it easy to it wear down.

Rapidash already has 100 Attack and 105 Speed with a decent movepool. If an evolution were to bolster those stats, make it more bulky, or add a 2nd typing to improve its movepool, it would easily be UU.

I've been here since the board was created and I've always loved Platinum. It's good that more people are trying the game out and loving it instead of bundling it together with DP as shit, because while DP really were shit Platinum fixed everything wrong with them.
I guess it's also possible that Gen IV is getting more recognition in general because it's in risk of getting a remake, and if it's something as torterrible as ORAS were everyone will shit even harder on that generation.
