Why does Gen 5 feel so isolated and left out

bw's gimmick of only new pokemon, and the fact that a lot are rehashes
had the only game that doesn't just go beat elite four beat champ roll credits
had the only game where the third version is actually a sequel not a third version
first gen to start route numbers back at 1

however it seems this isolation is mainly in the mind of the audience, game freak itself doesn't seem to see it at all

It's a very borderline game. While in a lot of ways it's similar to the older games, in other ways it seems to be setting the stage for the nightmares to come in further generations. It's also very divisive by it's nature, which doesn't help matters.

It literally is. Before Black & White all the games regions (other than side games) were based off of places in Japan. B&W's region is described as really distant from the first four (based off somewhere in the UNited states OV America) and that's why it has none of the older pokemon. After B&W they dropped the idea and go back to being able to catch pokemon from previous gens in new regions even if their realife equivalent is distant from realife Japan. Not to mention that B&W and B&W2 are the only game to use this engine, where the previous two gens had remakes using the same engine as the new games.

About 3/4 of the gen 5 pokemon have giant oval eyes that look like empty soul gens from skyrim. Then theres a few with half closed eyes and a point like it wears mascara.

Then there is like 10 well designed good mons.

Every gen since 5 has had over saturation with those giant scary eyes so I mostly avoid pokemon with them.

None of those pokemon have those eyes.

Pic related is those types of eyes that have become a staple in the artwork. There is no soul in this type of eye and every pokemon has it now.

Because Masuda is a retarded idea guy who desperately wants to reboot the series and become the next Tajiri. If it wasn't for the overwhelming dislike this piece of shit gen had received back then, the fucker would've culled the old dex entirely by Gen 6 or maybe even BW2.

No one disliked Gen 5 when it came out. I'm not even sure where this "everyone disliked Gen 5" meme came from. As far as I can tell the only games to get dislike at release were gens 6-8 and even then gens 6 and 7 were moderate disappointment, and not even full blown hate.

Only facebook normies disliked it. They threw a shit fit because they couldn't catch the same old mons in the game immediately. They threw a shit fit over charizard and yet none of them even played the game.

That's its gimmick
BW forcing only to use and fight against new pokemon makes it a new experience for everyone, regardless of how many other pokemon games they played.
Best thing to compare it with is like playing pokemon for the first time, which for many people was in Kanto, moreso with the parallels the new pokemon have with Kantomons.

Its a shitty gen and its not Gamefreak ignoring it its the company in general. Its a all around terrible gen only liked by the hardcore for its content but the main selling point the actual Pokemon is a huge turn off for the masses.

eh, we've gotten a lot of unova references in the past (off the top of my head, colress appears in alola and there are a lot of references to it in SwSh). The region that's really gotten the shaft is kalos. Not only borrows a lot from kantooo but even Gamefreak seems to consider XY a mistake.

Pokemon designs are so bad right now. It’s like Pokemon has become assimilated by the borg or something with how much of the old charm and character is now one dimensional and repeated.
