>>38195589>Unova is the new genwun for zoomers. It'll take a while before everyone realizes this shitIt was obvious from the start. Pointing it out makes zoombooms seethe because they think it's "unique" and "original" and "not Genwun" , when it's such a wannabe Gen I for their ilk:
>male protagonist blatantly rips off Red's design, except he's blue woah>urban region (not-Tokyo vs not-New York, except the latter lacks any subtlety or creativity whatsoever in its design, also made easy to navigate because babies had trouble with Sinnoh)>150+ new Pokemon, just like Gen I (except even morerer, take that!)>can only use Gen 5 shitters during campaign>bulk are just Gen 5 counterparts to Gen 1 Pokemon anyway>"the evil team is so unique and thought provo-", oh nvm, they just want power, just like Team Rocket lolThey even mirror the genwunners they hate, walking around thinking it's the bestest ever when it's cemented much of what's shit about the franchise now.
