>>31197480The physical special split which is one of the greatest thing to happen in the history of pokemon.
It was the generation to make wifi battling, online trading, official competitions, and having multiple language interactions apart of its design.
Personally I feel it vomiting evolutions of older pokemon was a lazy and phoned in thing in theory but in execution it did make a lot of pokemon's lives better. Much as I despise togekiss design wise it did togepi's line wonders in competitive and took pokemon I already liked(roselia and magneton) and made them useful and electabuz fags would tell you the same.
It also had by far the most threatening evil team to date even if I hear some say its too extreme for a pokemon game, or at least a "kids game" and that is a fair point. Its the only generation and as far as I know the old DS game to take advantage of the GBA backwards compatibility function letting you catch different pokemon based on which GBA game you had and Gengar for using any.
It was the last generation to make its event Pokemon tie in as a side story in order to capture then which I strongly prefer with event pokemon over just being given them.
Black and White at least did this with victini but not the others sadly.
Finally its capture mini game attached to Pokemon transfer is less annoying than the one in Black and White speaking as a massive Gen V fag.
