>>34291863Gen 5 isn't even my favourite generation, but you're behaving like a petty child enough as is, so I honestly doubt you even care if you're wrong at this point.
I've got some time to kill, so I'll humour you;
>critically pannedThe opinion of critics doesn't matter at all if you're the one playing the game. You have your own spine, stand on it and make your own thoughts and feelings. Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't mean you then have to dislike it too; opinions are opinions. Feel free to take it as the truth if that's your choice, but don't then demand the same blind ignorance from others.
>pokemon designs looks like shitAgain, opinion based, not fact. I'm sorry you don't like what I assume is the vast majority of the G5 mons, but that's not GF's problem, and it's not my problem. The game isn't made exclusively for you. I like some G5 designs, I don't like some G5 designs. It's the same for every gen, go figure.
>added NOTHING to the competitive>caring about pokemon competitiveThat said, did you somehow forget hidden abilites, genies and new abilities, like Prankster? It's certainly not the most that was added, but it's left it's mark, and still can be seen today. To say it added nothing is a blatant lie.
>thankfully xy saved the seriesYes, I suppose we should thank XY for selling well, which had very little to do with the quality of the game, and more that it was the first Pokémon game on a new Nintendo console. Praise be our hero, clearly a good game because people bought it.
>annoying fanbasesSo feeding them with smug, passive-aggressive posts is somehow alleviating the burden of this supposed bad thing from your back? You're digging the hole you claim to hate, and are now complaining that you're in a hole. That's not to say the fanbase is your fault, but you're certainly not helping it.
>fanbases mattering at all
