>>54197565>The safari zone in HGSS sucks so much dick I never want to ever use it ever again, for an example.It's literally the least-obnoxious one in the entire franchise.
>>54197670>soulless 3d started in gen 6Wrong, it started in gen 4 and was everywhere in gen 5.
>friendly rivals started in gen 3Yeah but bland rivals started in Gen 5
>excessive kanto pandering started in gen 6Charizard Bridge, the fact most of the new pokemon in gen 5 are just shitty chinese bootlegs of gen 1 mons
>shitty evil teams that do nothing started in gen 7Gen 4 technically, but Team Plasma is a dogshit evil team.
>ugly pokemon designs started in whichever gen is your favoriteNo, they started in gen 5.
>"memes" and porn started in gen 7They started in gen 3 you zoomer, mudkipz and gardevoir.
>the dexcut started in gen 8gen 3 actually since you literally cannot get every pokemon in gen 3.
>what exactly started in gen 5?Boring, bland, unskippable cutscenes. Shitty characters. Forced gimmicks (PWT, Pokestar Studios). Uncatchable boss pokemon (Black/White Kyurem). Shiny locks on legendaries. lazy pokemon design (most of the gen 5 mons are bootleg gen 1 mons, i.e. conkeldur is just bootleg machamp, roggenrolla is just bootleg geodude, sawk and throh are just bootleg hitmonlee/hitmonchan, etc.). Dexit was made worse by gen 5 (can't get any pre-gen 5 pokemon before the postgame in BW), Shitty battle gimmicks (Triple/rotation battles are dogshit and always have been).
