Both missing the point. Each game should be offering a unique experience. X does this, but the more Kalos mons are ignored the less new it is. B2W2 is new because it merged Unova and non Unova mons into one campaign. DP had good focus on its new mons.

For the first few routes, sure, but a good chunk of the new mons were postgame.

Don’t bother, sagefag is just going to make an excuse about how BW2 having zero new Pokemon doesn’t count because it’s not a new gen, even though there are new gen games with new Pokemon. Just watch.

Blame Gen V for forcing the player to spend the entire game with Unovan 'mons, half of which were ugly as sin. It nearly killed the franchise, they had no choice but to course-correct hard. Good job they did; Gen VI gave us the Pokemon Renaissance and eventually gave us Sword and Shield, the best games in the series and some of the best RPGs ever made.

It's the same as the Pokémon in Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum.
As in no new ones, but the locations have been rearranged slightly so that you'll encounter some of them in different orders. Plus the addition of Pokémon from previous generations that weren't available in the first games help keep the experience familiar yet new.

what is genuinely even the point of locked first encounters? i imagine it's just a failsafe against rng so a player doesnt somehow get across the first route with no encounters but even still why lock it to a specific pokemon

It's a new experience but that doesn't make it good.
All the third versions are still somewhat new. The Pokémon availability is different. Most trainer battles have edited teams, and some things are done in different orders.

The Unova sequels are practically entirely different experiences. All major battles use different teams, and most encounters are swapped around.

XY does it relatively poorly. It doesn't try to highlight any of the new stuff. It just panders to previous generations without giving the new Pokémon many chances to shine.

No one said new pokemon. He said new experience. And B2W2 offered a new experience by merging Unova and non Unova mons into one campaign, like he said. Samefag all you want>>57506172 but you're acting insane.

>it's a new experience even though I'm playing the the new region....with 85 percent of the pokemon being oldmons I already experienced.
Nope.
>>57507382
None but, as already explained before, BW2 offered a very different and new experience from BW.

Gamefreak has given up trying to make new mons likeable. They just continue to shill gen1 instead
42% of the megas from XY were gen1. Almost half. There was 5 gens to pick from (6 if you include XY mons themselves)

They did this specifically to soothe the worries of American normalfags who spent the last few years prior bitching and moaning about not being able to get old Pokemon in BW until post-credits, same reason Sycamore gives you a free Kanto Starter once you get into Lumiose after the first gym.

The megas for gen 3 are so tragic
They added so many specifically for gen 3 during oras. Everyone was imagining all the pokemon that'd get attention in the DP remakes, than the BW.
But no, they just dropped the feature entirely. I'm not even happy with it coming back in Legends ZA, it feels like such an unfinished concept since so few pokemon ever got megas.

I wonder when they decided to axe it. Let's Go still had megas, but SM didn't add any new ones which was pretty weird, you can't even get all the mega stones.
