>>32350095well fuck, you got me on fog
fuck fog and the faggot who invented it
the long route with double battles in fog is fucking bullshit FUCK
and HMs were tedious as hell, too. I'm glad later gens fixed the HM slave problem because having to use rock smash in Victory Road is bullshit.
For those points, i'm at least willing to agree. I think there's some contentious things like cave trawling when Gen 3 did it just as bad, if not worse with water. But i think Gen 4 gets a bad rap for a few shitty problems. Then again, i guess every gen does; just look at casuals when Black and White came out.
>>32350139>physical/special split is a memeI'm not a smogoon, but for me as a more casual player, the split helps differentiate what moves to give my pokemon to make sure they're the best they can be
i ain't the best to speak on this meme
>mixed dex true of every generation everGen 5, but yea you're kinda right there
>gen 4's villains were shit and forgettableWere Team Magma/Aqua memorable in the slightest? And was Team Rocket known for anything outside of being the first evil team and their appearance in the anime? They did nothing special at all.
>every game since Crystal has had a battle facilitythe Battle Subway, Battle Maison, and Battle Tree are all fucking trash and after-game filler. Fight me.
>Lake Trio look the sameGenie trio
>4 out of 7 generations have had GTS or WiFiGen 4 was the first to add it on a worldwide scale
i admit a lot of your points pretty much hold true, but some of it is matter of opinion. I appreciated all the legendaries, but i can see why people didn't like the overabundance.
Every generation has problems and things people don't like.
