>>45410828>every single part of the region is a pain to traverseLiterally only the snow routes were annoying to travel through. Even the optional swamp route was easy to go through.
>started the trend of extremely overdesigned pokemonThat was Gen 5.
>ruined all the old pokemon with sex dimorphism and ugly evolutions that don't respect the original themesLmao, that's such a weird nitpick. It's your fault if diversity makes you seethe.
>introduced a ton of legendaries and extreme power creep that stained the series foreverAll the later gens had way worse powercreeps. Also, you don't get to complain about "muh shitmon yanma got ruined by having a gen 4 evolution" and then say that the powercreep ruined your gameplay.
>created absurd evolution methods that had to be retconned out of the series because they were not feasible in the long runDoesn't take anything away from gen 4 itself. Literally every generation had new features that needed to be fixed in later gens.
