Gamefreak has been on a grind with the excessive Kanto pandering in every gen 5+ game with no sign of chilling out. Do you think they'll eventually stop?

This is the main idea of the paradigm shift that started in XY. It's not ending until the franchise dies out.

It's not a grind. Some day you'll have to accept that the original 150 will always be the "main" Pokemon, while everything after are treated as expansions that rotate in and out of merchandising.

They're shilling the old reliables to them just as much as they are the oldfags. Moreso, given there's only so much kiddy plastic crap or plushies oldfags will ever buy, whereas kids are constantly over that shit for anything up to 14 years.

That’s because those are the only gens after 1 that Game Freak respects enough to let them stand on their own. That’s why Gen 3 starters got Megas and Gen 5 had the most survivors from SwSh’s Dexit

Biologically speak this a natural pattern in nature. Uvona is supposed to be a very far continent, so animals that live there would evolve to became similar to ones from another continent. Take Australia for example, marsupials evolve to fill up niches of monkeys, dogs, wolfs, cats, rats, etc. There is one species of moth that is essentially a mockingbird on an island where birds don't exist.
Unova mons starts from this idea. A place with no "zubat" would end up with another batlike animal.

But of course, result was shit, theyre all obviously just rehashs

BW1 are the 6th best selling DS games with 15.64 million copies sold. Combining it with 2's sales, 24.16 million copies were sold for the entire generation. For comparison, generations that sold better:
>Generation 1(46.02 million, including Yellow version, still would've singlehandedly beaten all other titles without Yellow)
>Generation 2(29.49 million)
>Generation 4(25.27 million, not including HGSS)
>Generation 7(25.23 million, including Ultra editions)
Generations that sold worse:
>Generation 3(23.28 million, not including FRLG)
>Generation 6(16.53 million, not including ORAS)
>Generation 8(22.64 million, not including BDSP or LGPE)
Conclusion:Generation 5 is the 5th best selling generation. It's no 1st place, but it is most certainly not the worst selling gen either. Stop with this meme.
