>>56506652>What are some things gen5 got right?BW's gym battle theme is the best in the series, because it captures exactly what the feel and sound of this challenge should be. BW2, although an inferior remix (as it is in virtually every case), is arguably better for the 8th gym leader, give perhaps +1/2 additional end leaders.
BW's Elite Four theme, although inappropriate in tone for its purpose, is objectively one of the best battle compositions in the series.
BW's Route 12's-- theme is one of the best route themes in the series and one of the best capstone/ending tracks in the series as well.
3rd Abilities are, generally speaking, a welcome addition to the series's gameplay.
Gems were well-designed items that struck an appropriate balance between power and opportunity cost. Thry were consumables with just enough of a power boost to justify using them over the regular boosting items, but not being nukes.
