>>55884201Gen5, specifically BW. it was the first (and only time) Game Freak actually addressed a glaring flaw with the series. Everyone hated HGSS for not finding Johto’s West Kanto problem so Unova was designed explicitly to avoid that. But Genwunners threw a tantrum because they had to use new Pokémon in a new region and couldn’t sweep the game with an overleveled CHARIZARD. Every game after was nothing but Kanto-pandering slopola.
