>>48159266>There's no way someone who likes Gen 5 who took risks with its dex and had a good storylineYes and Gen 5 is the best gen, cope.
>also likes Gen 6 full of explicit genwun references Gen 6 has mostly implicit Genwun references, there's only 1 explicit one and it's in an optional side facility
>with the smallest dex of new monsFunctionally it's the largest dex we've gotten since Gen 5, and it's extremely well-rounded compared to Gen 7 and 8.
>that are overcrowded by old onesKalos isn't overcrowded with old Pokemon. The dex is jam-packed, yes. But none of the old ones are ever given precedence over the new. Also, every dex slot is unique unlike Gen 7 and 8 where they spam the same entries for Rattata and Pikachu over and over again.
>and shit storyGen 6 was the last good story we had. Maybe SM could take that spot but Gen 7's characters are too one-note and unmemorable and the story itself was ruined by USUM.
Sorry, I don't believe in cocksucking Gen 6 like zoomers on here do, but it's hard to deny that they were the last games that actually felt like Pokemon.
Still, Gen 6 is the
>best and fastest to get into competitive with>gold standard of online>one that has the most modes for its battle facilities out of any game that doesn't include the Battle Frontier>only gen that cared to replace the cut game corner with alternative minigames since Gen 4 (said minigames were then cut in Gen 7 despite a similar mode being there on the same engine)>Only game that has a good array of Pokemon distribution aside from BW and BW2That said, it doesn't save it. XY and ORAS will always be mediocre shells of what they could have been, however, they are absolutely carried by the design philosophies that they share with Gen 5. It more or less goes to show just how chad Unova is since it has you manbabies seething constantly.
Stay obsessed.
