Oldfags, what was the reaction here like when it was found out that BW would restrict all old mons to the post game?

Everything looked so good that no one was bothered by it, especially since we knew that old Pokemon would be able to be transferred in later.

I wasn't on vp back then but for me it seemed nobody cared except for genwunners but even then Pokemon was at a low point in the sense that the only people playing it were dedicated fans. I'm glad it was a soft reset of Pokemon in a way especially because I don't think we will ever get something like that again

This, it was only a bother for normalfags who, due to the advent of internet popularity, began swarming social media and discovered that Pokemon was not only alive and kicking, but also immensely different from what it was back in their childhoods.

I always imagined pokemon being on a sort of cycle where the odd numbered gens would have tons of new original mons while the even ones would have few original mons but a tons of cross gen evolutions
gen 6 was such a letdown man

I feel like SM hype season all went to shit as soon as the anime reference sheets for the final starter forms got leaked. I forget if that came before or after the reveal of UBs, but the speculation over those was really fun.

Don't listen to people who say "no one cared" or the idiot who says Pokemon was at a low point.The backlash was pretty big. After gen 4 Pokemon had regained a lot of fans this was the first real hype season as we know them today and the decision caused a huge rift in the fandom between people that liked it, people that hated most of the new designs being shown off, and people that didn't want to be limited in their options.

You also had retards who thought that the game entirely was restricted to the 150 Pokemon too and then you had people who were memeing over the comment about not seeing any of the older Pokemon by pointing out that Pikachu was on a billboard. It died out a bit after the announcement though and by the time the game came out only a few people cared but those that did cared because gen 5 had a ton of worthless shitmon that made the early portion of the game a chore in a way past shitmon didn't.

Following Black White's release in general it saw a big wave of hype backlash with people proclaiming the games to be shit. The "Gen 5 are the best games" narrative is much more recent because kids who grew up with those games were older by the time XY came out and they were posting on 4chan and other sites more regularly.

No idea.
I didn't go to online forums at the time, so I had no idea how anyone felt about it.
I liked it though.
It seemed like every other pokemon got a "whoah, that's cool!" out of me.
Even got some new favorites out of it, which I can't really say for many of the other gens.
It wasn't until recently that I learned that BW had a huge backlash and that kinda saddens me.
Lots of new pokemon, huge new region, lots of post-game, but people are extremely upset because they couldn't use their charizard in the main-game.

As one of the many complaining, nonsense. It was shit then and it will always have been shit.

Not as shit as S/S but still shit that B2/W2 had to fix.

And if I'm a normalfag you're gatekeeped to hell considering I've got 7 years of playtime under my belt which you almost certainly are lesser than because I doubt there's more than a dozen with that much me included.

I dunno about this site, but the reception across multiple forums (Pokebeach, Serebii, etc.) was pretty positive. Most of the hate came from normies who discovered about the ice cream and the trash bag. In fact, the term "genwunner" was born during this gen as a response to these haters.

It was not born from that gen. It's not even originally from the Pokemon fandom it's from the Transformers fandom.

You're might be right about the TF one, but I'm definitely sure its Pokemon-related usage started around that time.

This is how I know you are a newfag or a retard.
It was always vocal genwunners or trolls who talked shit about gen 5, the games were fine, the people who actually played the games liked them.

I was only 11 or 12 when BW came out in NA. I was at a point where it was uncool to be playing Pokemon, so I was really aggressively hating BW, but still kept track of leaks, and bought the game because there was something about Pokemon I couldn't step away from. I ended up feeling really unhappy and overwhelmed about it because there were too many new Pokemon. BW2, on the other hand, I absolutely loved.

You fags can keep rewriting history all you want but the reality is Black and White were often considered shit by fans over the age of 10. That's just reality.

pissed at Conkeldurr dethroning Machamp but I did ask for a rival so here we are almost a decade after and I like both. Unova was quite literally the game where it felt the most "fresh" because for the first time since Kanto, you're out to explore a new world with completely new pokemon. Was I bummed out I couldn't use my old favorites? Yeah but I've played with them for 4 games, so I welcomed the change. They were allowed after the league anyway so nothing value was lost
