No one asked for 156 new Pokémon, the majority of which were just remixes of existing designs to evoke nostalgia of Red and Green’s 151, leaving all other Pokémon to only be obtainable either in the post-game or through transfers (also in the post-game), when the majority of players would be finished playing. Gen V’s ‘truth versus ideals’ storyline crumbles at Masuda’s own words, that the inside of a Poké Ball is “a very comfortable environment. Maybe the equivalent of a high-end suite room in a fancy hotel.” So N can shut the fuck up with his autistic ramblings, going on about how Pokémon are suffering inside Poké Balls.
Gen V was the misstep (BW a tremendous misstep, B2W2 a quick course correction), and Gen VI (especially XY and GO) was a total overcorrection.
