>>48968406>Gen 5 wasn't that goodIt really was. It set a gold standard for the series that cut out the bloat that they didn't want to waste time stagnating so they could try something new. Sure, things like Musicals weren't all that good compared to Contests, but the game itself was extremely solid.
> Game was linear and grindy as fuck.There's nothing wrong with linearity, and Platinum and BW2 being one of the consistently top games in the series prove this. If you seriously had to grind in any of these games, you're just bad.
