I would write an entire list of why gen IV sucks but I'm not a stupid memer who wants upvotes in redit, so let me just point out some
>level designGen IV has the worst case of HM over inflation of all gens to the point that I only need to mention rockclimb to cause rage to everyone who has played those games. Then you got the routes that are just a complete pain in the ass to travel or just repetitive, MT coronet being the most obvious, but infamously memorable are the routes with swamp terrain and the snowy route that would have been cool had it not been for reducing your visibility to zero while making you go at crawl pace
>balanceThe difficulty curve is a fucking joke. They had to resort to bosses having cheating enemies (a skunktank and purugly grossly underleveled and other pokemon knowing moves they shouldn't). Pokemon platinum fixed this, but it doesn't mean it can be denied that D&P did it terribly. It is true that gen VI is so fucking easy it hurts, but that's easily fixed by turning off the exp share (turning it into one of the most difficult games to nuzlocke ever), but Gen IV difficulty comes from faulty design that can't be fixed
>Movepoolsalmost all pokemon have the worst movepool possible in existence when leveling, being fucking useless during a normal game.
Look at the leveling movepool of toxicroak and just cry, it doesn't learn a single fighting attack
>single use hidden machinesdo I need to say anything?
>graphicsthe fact that I've seen firered hacks that mimic almost perfectly the graphics of gen IV makes it a fucking joke.Although I don't give much shit about this so whatever
>speedit is painful how slow the HP bar goes down and the animation of some attacks. Fixed in platinum
