>>58586622Most hate for gen 5 mons comes from association and not any real faults. For a set like the elemental monkeys, they have three "sins":
>gen 5 so bad>unsolicited, required giftmon at the beginning of the game to make it easier>"dex filler" and/or "boring design" (same complaint really)And people are coming around because
>gen 5 so badmost people have grown out of their knee-jerk reactions and even those that still dislike it, or those that have grown to dislike it despite liking at first, will be willing to analyze individual aspects in a vacuum.
>giftmonAgain, reacting negatively to the mon for this is a knee-jerk reaction, AND people have realized they didn't like getting the giftmon but not necessarily dislike the giftmon itself.
>"dex filler" blah blahAfter years of meme/joke mons and stuff like paradoxies people are looking back at mons that had any level of sincerity in their designs fondly.
>bonuspeople heard about their prototype designs from the teraleak and now think "they could have been so much more" instead of just "they're not enough"
>not all of these for everybody but it explains the overall sentiment. I've liked simisage and simipour for years personally. Simisage is one of my favorite mons of all time.
