>>53242362Gen 5 has a lot of cool Pokemon that stand out to this day, but the game didn't capitalize on that. Standouts for me include:
>Scolipede>Zebstrika>Eelektross>Chandelure>Hydreigon>Haxorus>Galvantula>Krookodile>Zoroark>Mienshao>Golurk>Braviary>VolcoronaIf these were more available instead of things like bad monkeys (looking at you, Pans and Darmanitan) or various other shitmons that could have been substituted with existing mons and come out ahead for it, that would have helped.
