>Urgh I hate how modern pokemon just panders to Kanto

Gen 1: Literally Kanto
Gen 2: You can revisit Kanto
Gen 3: Kanto remakes
Gen 4: Gen2 remakes, meaning you revisit Kanto
Gen 6: Kanto starters, Kanto Megas
Gen 7: Kanto Alolan, Kanto LGBT

Reminder that only UnovaCHADs are allowed to complain about Kantos, all other gens are still Kantofags

Unova tried to be a reboot of Pokémon, so naturally it tried to reuse concepts from Kanto: Trash Pokémon, two fighting types (Throh and Sawk), the amount of pokémon introduced is similar to the original 150, etc

I know that someones' gonna meme about unovamons being "Kanto ripoffs" and all (concidentally >>39192610 did)

Charizard Bridge
Pokemon World Tournament

You could say the same about Mega evolution, but that's considered Kanto pandering regardless.

Some of these comparison are really fucking dumb. What are you comparing Gengar with Chandelure for? They're both ghosts? No shit, they're Ghost types, what else would they be? They don't even have the same second type. A lot of these comparisons have different types or different designs; was Unova not allowed to have dragon pokemon that are dragons because that's too similar to Dragonist, even though the pokemon are vastly different? And even the very similar ones still have different stats and abilities.

That's not much of a acomplishment since Kalos still had Mewtwo and the bird trio. Even weirder since Kalos doesn't even have it's own sub legendary trio.

This is such a shit argument, especailly now that some of the development blogs for the BW Pokemon design have been released. Ken Sumorgi talks at length at how he designed Throh to be in Gen 4, but he didn't make the cut, so when Gen 5 came around he made Sawk so there could be a Red and Blue oni, it had literally nothing to do with creating expys of Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee. In fact I doubt even a single Pokemon in Unova was "based" off of a Kanto Pokemon since when you actually compare Pokemon like the Seismetoad line and the Poli line, you're just drawing an imaginary comparisson because they're both based off the same animal.

You might as well say Gen 3 copied Genwun because Skitty is a 2 stage normal type like Meowth, Ralts is a 3 stage Psychic type like Abra, and Seedot is an Oddish copy because of being a 3 stage grass type, it just falls flat.

Kalos was making a an effort to reign in the amount of feature-creep the roster of legendary pokemon was receiving in Gens IV and V, so there's relatively very few new legendaries. Wierd that gen VII made a heel-turn and just unloaded a ton of ultra beasts on us after that.

They had Mewtwo in Kalos to demonstrate the new Megas Mechanic as Mewtwo fits the concept perfectly (although the legendary birds being in Kalos is not necessary). And it’s not like ORAS had that much Kanto pandering. Infact, ORAS had the least Kanto pandering, yet /vp/ still hates it.
And why does Gen 5 get a pass when it gave Mewtwo a random counterpart with Genesect and gave Mewtwo a signature move?

Fuck dude, didn't realize Magearna is a Mewtwo counterpart. Or Silvally. Almost like a human made Pokemon is a novel concept with plenty of applications.

Unova is the only game that actually united every gens (that existed when the Unova game came out), the PWT which is honestly one of the best feature ever implemented in a pokemon game and most likely what inspired the upcoming Pokemon Masters game.

Because /vp/ is the worst when it comes to the "US VS THEM" mentality. Want to glorify your favorite gen? Shit on other's to make yours look better by comparison. This goes for EVERY gen fan, not just Unovabortions or Genwunners. That's why /vp/ has a "no genwars" rule in the first place.
