>>53823628>B and W don't have ANY gen 1-4 pokemon until postgameNo, but they have legally distinct kanto Pokemon. Conkelldur is just shitty machamp, Woobat is shitty zubat, etc.
>was the most fucked up thing to happen in a mainline game up until that pointYou didn't play gens 1-4 then. Slowpoketails being a thing with SPRITES WITH THE TAILS CHOPPED OFF, the literal world being in danger in hoenn, everything relating to the burned mansion in gen 1 with Mewtwo, cyrus being stuck in the distortion world at the end of Platinum, there's been plenty of fucked up shit before gen 5.
>Cheren and Bianca mirrored each other nicely, were well rounded charactersNo they fucking weren't, they were boring as hell. The last good rival we had was Silver.
>were FAR less annoying than Barry and Wally.No. No they weren't. They keep showing up over and over stopping your progress and making you listen to their bullshit. Forced cutscene crap.
>N is a deutoragonistN is an antagonist. He's not a hero, nothing about him is heroic, he's everything ghetsis says he is and worse.
