>>53071236>Gens 3 and 4 failed to improve the series to the same degree that Gen 2 did over Gen 1Physical/Special Split, evos for gen 1-2 shitmons, and Formes in gen 4.
Abilities and IVs/EVs in gen 3.
Gens 3 onward being less of a buggy unfinished shitshow than gens 1-2.
>some of the good mechanical changes in these Gens were poorly implemented (some still haven’t been fixed)The mechanical changes in gens 3-4 were all improvements over gens 1-2 and were implemented well, especially compared to the half-assed shit gen 2 did.
>As for the feel, they made the world feel small and artificial by copy-pasting Gen 1 and 2 mon in regions set (relatively) far away from Kanto/JohtoThat's gen 5, not gens 3-4. Gen 5 literally just makes bootleg versions of gen 1-2 mons (i.e. conkeldurr being bootle machamp). Gens 3-4 were good in that they kept classic pokemon while introducing new ones, as opposed to shitnova which makes you play with worse versions of Kanto pokemon.
>barring BW…regional forms also attempt to address this issue on a small scaleBW/BW2 are the worst games in the franchise, mainly BECAUSE they're just shitty clones of gens 1 and 2.
Also, HGSS exist and completely invalidate Crystal by being superior in every single way AND including even more content.
