>Black and White 1 is a great game and being linear doesn't really detract much from it

I don't think this one is so much unpopular as it is split down the middle

mine are

>Shauna and to a lesser extent rival Serena weren't that bad at all
>Mega evolution should be expanded upon (but mostly for pokemon that currently aren't very good. More M-Beedrills and less M-Salamences)
>The anime is okay
>More shipping in the games would be just fine

And not sure what the current consensus is for the last one so it may not be unpopular, but

>the difficulty curve for Sun/Moon is just right. But the tools you use in game can sway that one way or the other and that is as it should be.

>>30231418
I agree completely

>>30231659
I think Yancy/Curtis or Lillie/Brendan/May are good enough for shipping, but I agree with what you said

execpt Shauna

>>30231418
>ORAS are good games for their shitty time frame, but should have been much better, but are over-hated
>I miss sprites (but understand why it was changed to 3D)
>Difficulty Rom Hacks are bullshit 99% of the time and fucks you over early game immensely
>I enjoy most of BW's Dex
>I think calling for help is a good idea, but can be bullshit
>SM's new Pokemon are shit, and the worst starters

Hacking defeats the point of playing, no matter how minor

Glad I'm not alone. I like how the line gets more serious and less goofy by each passing stage. Neat progression.

>>30231418
>Gen 5 is overrated as fuck, especially it's story

>>30231659
>I don't think this one is so much unpopular as it is split down the middle
I actually saw a thread asking people what they thought about Black and White and the opinions were almost completely divided in half.

>>30231659
more and more people seem to want more romance in Pokemon. And it's not just limited to /vp/ or waifufags, a lot of normies seem to expect it as well.

>>30231418
Gen 1 had the most fun meta.

I enjoyed BW's weather wars.

VGC13 had the best rules and most competitive meta.

Crystal is top 3 pokemon game.

>the gen 4 cross evos were good and GF should make more of their kind on future generations

>>30231810
pretty sure most people don't like SM's pokedex, it's just that the game is presented in such a nice package that we will ignore it.

>>30231659
XY was a harem game that just didn't deliver in the critical moments. Nothing was really implied, so you just come out of it all thinking "maybe I can bang Serena/Shauna after all this" instead of having two best girls

>>30232076
1000% this. SM is already better than the entirety of Gen 5 bar postgame.

>>30232076

Isn't gen 5 underrated...? It's always hard to tell just how many people hate/love gen 5 desu

>>30232349
>Isn't gen 5 underrated...?

Not here. People often praise it for every aspect other than its new Pokemon, especially its story, which I found totally unrelatable and uninteresting aside from a few standout moments.

>>30232349
Underrated in general not just /vp/

I posted an unpopular opinions thread a little bit after not realizing you already made one so I'm going to repeat what I said there.

I don't think Serena is that attractive, especially once she cut her hair.

>>30232768
i think this just means that you're not a pedophile.

>>30232855
Even if she was of age she still isn't that attractive.

I like braviary more than Toucannon and Talonflame.

Cut hair was definitely a downgrade, but I quite liked regular Serena.

Fan art can make anything look good though.

>>30232349
it's more of a 50 50 split

>>30231418
I agree with all of these, did I make this post and not realize it?

>>30232897
good taste

>>30232897
I second your good taste

I don't like it to be a contrarian hipster.
I don't like it because it's become an epic mame in the last few years.

I just like it because it's cute, movepool is cool and I don't care about stats that much.

>>30231418
>>30232032
I immediately knew I was picking him the first time I played.
Was even happier with him when he evolved. Looked rad while still being cute

Then they completely shit the bed with his final evolution and I'll never forgive GF for turning him into another bland looking quadruped with no personality

>Oshawott is a cute starter and Samurott looks cool
>Pokemon games are usually so easy that I don't mind them going more story focused
>Hau is a good character and one of the better rivals in the series
>Black and White 1 is a great game and being linear doesn't really detract much from it

For the record, none of these are "unpopular opinions". Most the community can agree on these.

>>30237298
No, pretty sure most people hate the Samurott line.

>>30231418
Lillie was way too prominent in SM and I got sick of her. Especially since most interactions with her were repetitive.

>>30237345
Everyone thinks Oshawott is cute, and the only reason Samurott is disliked is because it doesn't fit in with Oshawott line. Had it been a standalone Pokemon, no one would complain.

>>30231418
I think OR/AS are the best pokemon games and their flaws can be summed up quickly: no trainer customization, no frontier and that one part where wally whisks you across the region forcing you to miss a bunch of items you just unlocked with surf.

I think most pokemon look good but gen 7 has the largest amount of pokemon I really don't like.

I think Unova is, bar none, the absolute worst region.

>Lillie steals the major spotlight and it feels annoying to play a game about little miss prefect's character development, making her pretty annoying
I personally would've loved to learn more about the other characters besides the little clips in the story they had.

>>30231418
>Black and White 1 is a great game
No shit Sherlock. Still my favorite Pokemon game.

Team Plasma had the best battle theme at the time.
Neo Team Plasma currently has the best battle theme.

Plasma were the most interesting/actual threat of all the bad guys.
Ghetsis is the best antag.

This is bad for Team Plasma, or PLASBAD for short

How is a intimidating beast "bland" in any sense? It actually looks like a strong and reliable pokemon to have.

I hate her design with a passion, but I think the redesign was a correct choice. Game Serena's design doesn't work on a loli with Ashnime face. Just look at her standing. She looks literally braindead.

>>30237776
I always got triggered that she wore a pink hat with that outfit. WEAR A BLACK OR RED ONE YOU FUCKING SHIT.

Guess it's not totally unpopular since a couple people had similar feelings, but I hate Lillie and she ruined SuMo for me.

SM is actually the best game in my opinion.

I think some, not all, new gens should do what BW did and only have new pokemon in the main game.

Competetive can be fun but taking it seriously is fucking stupid.

Ehile not my overall favorite golurk has the best design in tbe series.

>>30237565

But this is all absolutely true

BW had the best writing in a main series game. The plot itself and the pacing were both great.

There should've been an ending in BW where I get turned into a rock.

SM is more linear than BW and it's on fucking islands

>>30231810
SM starters are meh but still okay to use. Their init sucks but in exchange they got higher def.
3>1>4>7>=2>=6>5 in terms of good starters

the type chart is great the way it is

>>30232349
Overetated, especially here. It is unanimously agreed that Gen 5 is the least favorite gen of the community and this place just doesn't stop sucking its dick.

>>30232432
N's story was okay, rest is pure shit. Has some good mons though.

Its up there. I also like the gen 2 boy and gen 7 girl.

>>30238317
Not by official reviewers :^)

Every single Pokemon game is fun.

Pokestar Studios/Pokewood is the best side-distraction in the series.

YES

Once I realised it was a puzzle game using pokemon I loved it. Some of the different endings you could get were pretty great too.
