Because all characters are literally whos and the stories are worse than Gen VI.
Also loved the saving times and the HMs. We need those back. The shitty looking graphics were also a huge plus. Helped immerse me much better than anything else did.

Fuck the music and P/S split though. The only bad things things about the generation.

IMO it did everything gen 2 did right, and made it even better. It even remade gen 2 with the most ambitious remakes.

DP are kinda shitty though.

Let's see: it's the most grind heavy game, in sinnoh to do most of the post game you need to complete the regional dex, hg and ss is the embodiment of quantity over quality, and move hms than any orher game

I never cared for the actual gen 4 games but I really liked the gen 2 remakes especially since I played the shit out of Silver. Having my pokemon follow me around was fantastic and the more recent at the time game mechanics being integrated was nice. Despite the nostalgia those remakes gave me I wouldn't call it my favorite. The game still had issues from the original version that I wish would've been addressed (like rebalancing wild pokemon levels).

Because the games are slow as molasses. D/P are shit, HG/SS are overrated and have a fucked level spike. Platinum is the only reedemable game from this Pokemon gen.

Oh, you said BEST gen? Sorry OP, that's objectively false.

Saying that Gen 4 is the best because HG/SS doesn't make any sense.

Any of you guys know anything about flashcarts? I've been wanting to play some ROM hacks lately, but playing them on the computer just isn't the same as real hardware.

R4i or Acekard 2i? Is there something better.

Also, Platinum is the best Gen 4 game.

If even that, as a bunch of things are a downgrade from gen 3.

Poor balance.
Split was done in the worst way possible (lol Draco Meteor/Outrage meta)
Stealth Rock ruined singles forever
Slow ass battles, text, menus
Saving a lot of data
Frontier is a direct downgrade from Emerald
Super contests aren't even an improvement over contests
No breeding improvements

Even more trade + hold item evolutions

Suprisingly a lot of this can be applied to gen 5 although somewhat opposite.

The bad:
>Black and White were fucking trainwrecks. Everything, from progress to the pokemon selection was wrong(somewhat fixed in bw2)
>Too Linear
>Too many damn legendaries(Seriously 10x worse than Sinnoh)
>Too much event-exclusive shit(Literally locked Zoraork behind a event that required you to transfer an event mon from gen 4; Keldeo; Meloetta; AND Victini)
>Worst champions in both games

The Good
>VGC
>Online multiplayer
>Best postgame to since Emeralds Battle Frontier(Arguable)
>more interaction with NPCs; gave less of a "literally who?" feeling than other generations, every Gym Leader had a a job and overall place in the world
>Made breeding easier (implying youall you faggots didnt just gen everything)
>???????????

Seriosuly though why the fuck do people love gen 5 so much? Not even a Sinnohfetus, is it like the Zelda cycle or something similar? Will its praise come to pass?
