Game Freak tried and succeeded, but none of you faggots recognized. Now you're gonna have to deal with Gen 1 pandering until the series dies. Good job.

You're probably right honestly. It's so obvious Black and White was a failed reboot and that only becomes more obvious the more new gens come out.

It was everything a Pokemon reboot needed to have been. It was just at the wrong time.

I love gen 5. I would have loved to get a new region with 150 new mons and no old mons till post game, every gen. Just imagine gen 7 litten popplio and rowlet and 148 other pokemon and alola forms and no old ones till post gane

Gen 5 was the start of the gen 1 pandering, idiot, that's why they did around 150 Pokemon and tried to do a soft reboot

it was supposed to be gen 1 2.0

I didn't like BW1 and I will miss none of what it did that hasn't been done since it that didn't apply to Gen IV anyways, of which even DP was better.

I loved BW2 and was sure to fill out those CN surveys as to why, so don't look at me there.

Do you seriously think that this would be a good long-term business plan? They can't keep on adding new Pokemon, since people will end up forgetting a big portion of them, and many of these other reasons can only work once or twice, especially for the Pokemon series.

Not really; what really seemed was that conveniently when BW happens, it was a fairly recluse habitat. By the time you finish the game, some areas start receiving migrating pokémon from other places.

BW2 happen 2 years after the events of BW, so it's a given there's more variety.

The only things Gen V did well were the BW protagonists and infinite TMs. All of the kantofaggotry we get now is a direct result of BW fucking up and trying to remove everything, when shit was fine in previous generations that attempted to achieve some semblance of balance between old and new.

Ehh the sprites are debatable. I really love a good number of the sprites and how expressive and alive they are (Timburr juggling wood, Emolga touching the ground, and Tympol bouncing ect.). XY's still models are mostly meh with washed out colors compared to every other gen. Definitely a few really good ones, but same for bad ones.

>Replaced the winding paths of previous regions with the most linear map yet, which 6 only barely began to recover from
Just replayed through Black version, this is such a forced bullshit meme. Unova has actually quite a lot of backtracking, winding paths, and multiple routes to take. Sure, it's laid out in a linear way overall, but the route you take is no more linear than Johto.

>Drove home the 'friends' bullshit with Cheren/Bianca/Hugh that ended up resulting in the shitheap that was Gen 6's rivals.
The rivals in Gen 5 were far less annoying than the Gen 6 ones and unlike Gen 6 actually served gameplay and plot purpose. And don't act like we haven't had friends since Gen 3.

>Expedited the series' long-standing cycle of removing pretty much all non-battle features, such as bases and contests, many of which having only returned with ORAS or still being absent to this day like muh frontier
Gen 5 didn't remove bases. And Gen 5 literally kept contests and just changed the name. Stop.

>Focused too hard on a story with little more substance than average, which led to them trying to do it again with XY and failing because the people who liked BW's plot had turned 13
The story in BW is fucking grand for a Pokemon game. Stop being a faggot and go replay it or at least look into it.

>Introduced a fuckton of ridiculously broken abilities that have annihilated the metagame to this very day (it also gave us the genies, which are themselves a huge cancer even in ORAS)
Nobody cares, metafag.

>jumpstarted the transition from muted 3d and nice sprites to ugly 3d and constantly moving pixelated garbage, ultimately resulting in XY being forced to continue the trend instead of sticking with glorious sprites
Gen 5's visuals are great. Maybe play it on an actual DS screen instead of an emulator next time, sweetheart.

>fucked up the level curve
What? Do you have Alzheimer's? The level curve in Gen 5 is great.

>removed pokemarts

Eventually, Kalos will seem like a huge number of new Pokemon just because there will be so many that added 100+ each gen just won't be feasible

It's the least liked generation in most corners of the internet, mostly because not nearly as many people play third versions or sequels as they do the first of a generation or remakes, so the natural forces of the universe decree 4chan must love it.

Never played Gen 5. Really hated the designs so I skipped it. But reading back on the mechanics, im willing to try it out. Should I get BW2 or the original BW?
>>
>>27728887
BW2 is better overall with much more content, polish, and even more nice features. If you play it first, the recycled content from BW1 won't bother you either.

BW1 shakes up the formula a bit more. It also has a better story, I guess, but neither are much to write home about there.

It was a "soft reboot."
Focused on new mons, had analogous versions of older mons (think mach and dur lines, koffing and trubish, or magne and klink lines), had a strong narrative, madr the protagonists the least kiddish.
The first game had a very good way to introduce new commers to the series, second cranked up difficulty. "Epic" legendaries fight.
It didn't had the bullshit people complain daily about on /vp
>"muh genwunner pandering!"

Just compare the tones of B2W2 and XY and youll get it

It was honestly a very well grounded game. Probably my second, or third favourite gen.

Black City/White Forest needs streetpasses to work in BW1. Only because it's a DS game, the game needs to be in the system and on.

BW2 they tied their development to progress in the Skyscaper and Treehollow if I recall.

Gen V 50% good 50% shit
Gen VI 80% good 20% shit

You say just gimmicks, so not true

And besides weather bullshit.

No it wasn't

Because shit you say BW did actually XY really did.
I play gen V on my 3DS
Go and check all the past gen grafics and compare them with the other JRPG on the same console.

Actually the 3DS models are very good go and check them on the pokémon arcades, Pokken and Pokémon GO
>>
>>27729040
Having only played the Gen V games on actual hardware, and not any sort of XL system either, the spritework was still really weak. Though Crystal is really the only Pokemon game with decent spritework for its system. Dragon Quest III still has it beat out though with those buttery smooth enemy attack animations.

Gen VI and VII actually have really great models, though the shitass resolution of the 3DS throw it off for some. Anyone who thinks they're N64 tier needs to go back and play the Stadium games, which had awful models, though because of the smaller pool of Pokemon and moves generally better animations because they had feasible time to pay attention to such things.
>>
>>27725468
I tend to agree. I just played through White for the third time, and it was still a challenge. Not hard, but definitely not a cake walk like XY and ORAS. (I gave up playing AS half way though because it bored the hell out of me.)

Played through this time with some mons I've never used before, and left my starter in the box most of the time. My only complaint about BW is all the pokemon you can't unlock without the events. :(

Oh well. People can shit on Gen 5 all they want, but it's by far my favorite. It just feels like home.

I really wasn't a fan of BW1. The only real thing it had going for it to me was the themes of the story. But that's honestly not a big part of what i'm looking for in a Pokemon experience.

I know now it was a mistake, but my reception to BW1 kinda drove me away from BW2 when it was relevant. I wonder if this is what happened with a lot of people.

I call bullshit. In all my Nuzlocke runs, regardless of gen, by the time you're far enough in the game to fight the big bad, you've gained enough momentum with leveling that you hardly even notice it's a Nuzlocke anymore, since Pokemon only die if you make a novice mistake.
>>
>>27730337
Watchog can score unexpected KO's with Retaliate, and Hypnosis can shut down a sure thing.

Hydreigon just stat-bricks teams to death.

Gen 5 did remove bases though, unless you count HGSS as removing them.
They were in DPP in the underground.

>>27732226
Gen 5 does nothing of merit. In fact it actually fucks up by having too many pokemon to the point that it has the most bad mons of any gen and you don't even see them in the game because of it.

The box legendaries are worse than average and the secondary legendaries are pure dog shit.

The city shit was kind of cool and N was an alright character, but gen 5 in general was not that great.

Basically what this anon said>>27732343
And the fact that BW2 has the most content of all games thus far in addition to a lot of areas to explore that are off the beaten path.

They're the pokemon games they you can't appreciate if you rush it.

>>There will never be another Pokémon game with Gym Leaders and Elite Four members as memorable as BW1
Well that's wrong

>>There will never be another Pokémon game with as many new Pokémon
and that's a good thing

>>27732357
>I don't remember o powers being there but that's possible.
They were tied to the entralink so in black and white they were harder to obtain.
That said black and white 2 alleviated that issue with a side quest system.

>>27732321
Youre the kind of fan who wants a Kanto remake every gen huh?
>>
>>27732395
No, why would you think that?

Though I do think it'd be sort of nice to have a 3D gen 1.

>There will never be another Pokémon game with as good of a story and characters as BW1
Bianca and Cheren are pretty shitty desu, but the other characters are good. BW2 was a lot better.
>There will never be another Pokémon game with Gym Leaders and Elite Four members as memorable as BW1
I honestly don't remember half the gym leaders from BW1. Elesa and Clay are extremely memorable if just for their plot relevance.

>There will never be another Pokémon game free of nostalgia pandering that forces you to use new Pokémon
>There will never be another Pokémon game with as many new Pokémon
Probably both true. BW1 is a strange game to look back on for that reason. Such a huge amount of content and trying to branch off from the norm ended up causing it to become something completely different.

>You didn't like this one thing?
>Then you must want this other unrelated thing that you didn't allude to at all
>>
>>27732471
Ironically that's what the anon he replied to was doing.
>>
>>27732519
I wasn't talking about anything other than my opinion on gen 5 dude
>>
>>27732564
And that you don't understand why people like it.
>>
>>27732576
Yes, how does that equate to "You must want this unrelated thing"
>>
>>27732576
And that's a false dichotomy....how?
>>
>>27732594
You have a definition in front of you.
>>
>>27732633
I don't see how it fits this situation. It doesn't mean "ignoring the idea that other viewpoints might exist", it means "painting the situation to only contend with two viewpoints". The anon who dislikes gen V has not dismissed that other people like gen V, he just doesn't see how. That's ignorance but not dismissal or a false dichotomy. I'm asking you, now, to clarify what two viewpoints anon is supposedly trying to elicit. I'll even tell you what one of them ought to be: that he dislikes gen V.

Yup definitely no gen 1 pandering round here.

Because Pokemon that share the same role are the same as "take this Kanto starter, catch these Kanto birds, catch this fucking Mewtwo, and look at all of these mega evolutions of Kanto Pokemon".

Tell me how a genwunner would look at a Tympole and go "yup, this game is catering to my interests".
>>
>>27732872
that's the opposite of pandering you fucking melon.
>>
Guys do you know that sun and moon will focus in old pokemon like XY right?
The pokedex will be an unbalanced mess again,the franchise is getting boring,really.
we aren't going to have a game again that focuses in new pokemon,honestly,i think i'm quitting this if that's the case
>>
>>27725468
serious plot?! are you fucking serious?!
its the worst of them all! well bw2 is right there with that, and delta episode.
all that is about nagging you about shit, pokemon are your friend,don't hurt pokemon, being fat and stupid is ok, power is not everything, you are the chosen one, YOU ARE THE FUCKING CHOSEN ONE! nice plot.
