Was the Unova dex really that bad?

Nah it's just easy to hate the monkeys. People didn't like the starters because gamefreak fucked them by not giving serperior dragon(maybe im stretching it),making emboar ground or pure fire, and lettong samuroot stand on 2 legs.

Nah, it's pretty much perfect, elemental monkeys aside. Every time I hit a new route I felt like I was raising a bunch of new guys for my team, and the level scaling meant they caught up quickly.

Not at all. It just didn’t include what genwunners and nostalgia faggots wanted. Both Black/White were equal to Black 2/White 2
My complaint was the creative and art direction it took. Pokémon looked too cartoony and bouncy.

I love the Tepig line and it had a lot of great Ghost, Dark and Bug Pokémon.
It’s got its problems sure but I think people get a little too Autistic over things like the starting monkeys.

I loved Unova. Second to silver as my favorite pokemon game.

I'd rank the pokemon dex as:
Gen II > Gen III = Gen V > Gen I > Gen IV

I don't know why Gen IV is so bad but it just is. It had some pokemon I really like, like Lucario and Mamoswine but it just feels so bad and so wrong and I can't explain why.
Haven't played any other game.

I'm just coming back to Pokemon after years and still waiting for a Pokemon game with a good map and an older target audience. Preferably an mmo. Will we ever see it?

It had some of the highest highs and the lowest lows of the series. It also has a lot of clearly intentional nods towards many Gen 1 Pokemon, for better or worse.

It's the most mixed bag as it has some great Pokemon and literal garbage and alot of unnecessary evolution lines that are 3 stage but only need to be two I feel this was done to push the numbers up

honestly
the elemental monkeys are not that great...simisage should've been the only one
klink should have only one evolution
there are too many legendaries
but i think the dex is perfect for a urbanized region like Unova, someone compared them to their kanto counterparts and they don't look bad

The issue with some of these comparisons is that it's just the same patterns the other Gens have been following, like the regional birds and the pseudo legendaries. Can we really call Pidove, Sewaddle, and Venipede ripoffs of Pidgey, Caterpie, and Weedle, or Haxorus and Hydreigon knockoffs of Dragonite? Again, that's just the typical regional patterns.

>Unova is just better
It's fine if you think that but that isn't the point of the image. If anything it makes sense that the Unova ones would be better because they came later and were clearly based off of older Pokemon. There's no reason for them not to be better if they're being designed with the benefit of hindsight.

>>38005380
I didn't make the image but the regional birds are notably absent so I feel like whoever made it tried to avoid the obvious stuff like birds, rodents, Pikaclones, etc.

There also aren't really regional patterns of Pokemon like Caterpie and Weedle. Gen 5 has two early three stage Bug lines, one of which is Bug/Poison.

They may be based on Kanto mons, but they're far from lazy. E.g-Golem is a reptilian creature with the body of a literal boulder. Gigalith is a pure rock monster comprised of crystals.

It was great. Poorly executed. What GF should've done was included "half" of the new pokemon in B/W and the other batch of gen5 pokemon in B2/W2.

I'm playing through it the first time right now. And yeah, I think it's pretty bad. A lot of them just feel kind of stupid to use and most of them don't look that cool. The fighting types look really stupid and I'm getting tired of seeing Patrats and Lillipups everywhere. I also hate all three starters, especially their final evolved forms.

Parts of it were. Let's face it: WAY too many pure-type Pokemon. Most of the Fighting, Grass, Fire, Normal, Psychic, and Ice additions were pure-typed. That's bad. Many others also had repetitive or overused type combinations.
