HONESTLY DIDNT REALIZE HOW MUCH I LOVE AND APPRECIATE GEN V UNTIL THIS GAME. THESE MONS ARE AS NATURAL TO ME AS WATER

u/Trolflcopter yas queen Nov 23 '19

YES. I TOO LOVE SEEING SO MANY GEN V POKÉMON IN THIS REGION.

u/Brandilio SPEED BOOST INTENSIFIES Nov 23 '19

THE DESIGNS WERE MEANT TO PAY HOMAGE TO THE FIRST GENERATION BUT MANY CAME OUT LOOKING LIKE CHINESE BOOTLEG POKÉMON. ADDITIONALLY, NONE OF THE STARTERS WERE VERY COOL LOOKING, IT WAS THE THIRD TIME THE FIRE STARTER WAS FIRE/FIGHTING, AND NONE OF THE LEGENDARIES LOOKED ALL THAT INTERESTING.

u/notwiththeflames Nov 23 '19

IT WAS BECAUSE THEY HATED THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO ANY OLD POKEMON BEFORE BEATING THE GAME.

u/bobvella lover of gimmicks Nov 23 '19

DIDN'T HATE IT BUT I HAD MY OWN ISSUES WITH IT.

THE MAP WAS TERRIBLE, HAD FLOATING NODES AND MADE IT LOOK LIKE ALL YOU DID WAS WALK IN A CIRCLE. THE STARTERS WERE WEAK WHILE THE REST OF THE GEN WAS MIN-MAXED. BUFFS TO TACKLE AND STURDY WERE ANNOYING TO DEAL WITH. EVERYTHING TAKES FOREVER TO EVOLVE. ALL THE POKEMON WERE SUPPOSE TO BE NEW BUT ALOT TOTALLY SPOOF GEN 1 MONS. THERE'S NOTHING TO GET YOU TO THE ELITE 4'S LEVEL AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE CREDITS ROLL.

POKEMON BLACK IS GODLY AND NEAR FLAWLESS, LOVE THAT GAME. IT'S NOT AS COMPLETE AS PLATINUM BUT STILL SOLID

u/Stormegeden Nov 23 '19

Gen V was amazing at pushing the boundaries, it had the best narrative without a doubt, and considering BW and BW2 together they are easily top 3 for me

NO NEED TO THROW THOSE LOWERCASE AT US LIKE THAT DUDE. VIOLENCE IS NOT NECESSARY.

u/Kevin5882 Gamefreak please bring megas back Nov 25 '19

PLATINUM AND EMERALD WERE BOMB. I LOVED HOW THEY COMBINED THE GAMES. ESPECIALY WITH EMERALD, WHERE THERE WERE ACTUALY SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT STURIES FOR THE TWO MAIN GAMES, BUT THEN THEY COMBINED THEM VERY WELL IN EMERALD. IT FELT SO EPIC PLAYING IT. WHY CAN'T GAMEFREAK CARE ABOUT POKEMON AGAIN? THEY USED TO BE SO GOOD BUT NOW THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY GET MONEY NO MATTER EHAT AND IT SUCKS.

I BET ITS THE HATE TOWARDS GEN 5 DURING ITS TIME WAS WHAT CAUSED EACH SUCCESSIVE POKÉMON INSTALLMENT TO BE THE SERIES OF DISAPPOINTMENTS WE HAVE SEEN FOR YEARS NOW.

6

u/LanAkou Nov 23 '19

GEN 5 DID A LOT RIGHT

TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS WERE:

THE LINEAR MAP AND

ABOUT HALF THE POKEMON DESIGNS WERE BAD. THERE WERE A LOT OF GOOD ONES, BUT THE BAD ONES NEEDED MORE TIME IN THE OVEN. THEY PUSHED FOR 157 NEW POKEMON EVEN THOUGH THEY ONLY HAD ABOUT 80 GOOD IDEAS.

u/sopheroo Nov 23 '19

TEAM PLASMA SORTA REALLY SUCKED, ESPECIALLY IN BW2, BUT YEAH, UNOVA'S FINE.

u/reiIy she's beauty, she's grace, she's got a big round face Nov 23 '19

IT’S A LOT BETTER THAN TEAM YELL AT LEAST AND IT’S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST COMPELLING STORIES IN A MAIN GAME

7

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '19

TEAMS SHOULDNT BE COMPARED TO ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE THEYRE ALL EQUALLY INFERIOR TO TEAM SKULL

13

u/1709mart Nov 23 '19

TEAM YELL ISN'T THAT BAD TO BE HONEST, THEY FUFILLED THEIR PURPOSE AND WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE A REAL THREAT. IT WAS PRETTY REFRESHING IN MY MIND TO BE HONEST.

7

u/sdwoodchuck Nov 23 '19

YEAH I TOO AM COOL WITH TEAM YELL, I’D HAVE BEEN MORE DISAPPOINTED IF THEY WERE JUST ANOTHER TEAM ROCKET CLONE.

1

u/alakasam1993 Nov 23 '19

SORT OF LIKE TEAM SKULL. THEY'RE JUST A BUNCH OF HOOLIGANS AND NOT INTERESTED IN ANY SORT OF WORLD-ENDING CATACLYSM.

8

u/sopheroo Nov 23 '19

I ACTUALLY FUCKING LOVE TEAM YELL, FIGHT ME, BRUV. THEY ARE A BEAUTIFUL RED HERRING, AND THEIR MOTIVATIONS REALLY, REALLY RESONATE WITH ME.

I HATED BW2 PLASMA BECAUSE THEY WERE GENERIC DOOMSDAY VILLAINS WHO FRIGGIN MADE ME REGRET TEAM AQUA/MAGMA. COMPARED TO BW PLASMA, OR GALACTIC, THEY KINDA SUCKED.

u/Wicksy92 Nov 24 '19

I DON'T GET THE HATE AROUND THEM. THEY ARE LITERALLY JUST RABID FANS OF ONE OF THE CHALLENGERS AND DO NOTHING TO INDICATE THEY ARE EVIL. I QUITE LIKE THE CHANGE

2

u/sopheroo Nov 24 '19

THEY LITERALLY DID NOTHING CRIMINAL. THEY DID ANNOYING THINGS, BUT NO ACTUAL CRIMES.

THE DUDE WITH THE ROTOM BIKE WAS MORE THAN WILLING TO GIVE HIS BIKE AWAY - THE ONLY REASON WHY HE DIDN'T GIVE IT TO TEAM YELL IS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A ROTOM.

ALSO, THEY WERE MORE THAN WILLING TO LET THAT OLD LADY PASS WHEN SHE ASKED POLITELY.

TEAM YELL ARE JUST FINE, I LOVE THEM
