>>54645413>Regions taking place outside of Japan for the mainline gamesYes, and?
>Pokemon being designed by non-Japanese peopleShadow Lugia was Gen 3. Also, who cares? Both sides have made designs I don't like.
>No Game CornerThat was actually Gen 4, if you lived in PAL regions. Also, this wasn't Gen 5's fault - blame the stupid way games are given content ratings.
>No Pokemon Stadium-esque/3D battle simulator gameBattle Revolution sucked.
>No third versionsHaving actual sequels that advanced the story, on top of adding a ton of extra shit to do, is so much better than doing the "obligatory third version" that it should be considered illegal to pretend otherwise.
>Poison not affecting you outside of battleIt was a minor annoyance at best. Removing it detracts nothing from the game.
>Badges no longer needed to use HMSHMs are abject garbage, and they got progressively worse in every game, reaching its absolute nadir with DPPt. Black/White not made them purely optional for exploration
>Elite Four not having a set orderAnd this is a bad thing... how, exactly?
>The mainline games being mostly in 3DAnd Black/White pushed the DS to its limits as a result. It was great. Skyarrow Bridge still gets me.
>Needing software to transfer from the previous generationThis isn't the fault of the games, but GameFreak, but okay, fair.
>Team preview for the mainline gamesAgain, I think this is a fair complaint.
>??? Type removedIt was used for one move, and required a bunch of extra exceptions made specifically for it. Curse's change to Ghost-type was completely logical. This feels like grasping at straws for things to complain about.
>No more Secret Bases (except remakes)Three fair complaints. Secret Bases were cool.
>No more contests (exceptremakes)I doubt many people actually liked Contests, though I kinda did.
