>>55218011>last game in the series that tries to create a fresh experience while staying true to formThe only thing ‘fresh’ about gen5 was the horrible limited dex full of dogshit designs, and even that fails when you realize most of them are uglier versions of Kanto pokemon.
It wasn’t the first game on a new console, it didn’t overhaul the battle mechanics like the previous gens did, and it cut a bunch of features that were present in every previous gen. Gen 5 is the most sterile slop in the series
