>So now that we are all in agreement that these are the best games in the franchise
I too like having my hand held OP.

they're not, but the best gen 5 pokemon for me is bisharp

I have a lot
Serperior
Chandelure
Galvantula
Garbodor
Archeops
the list goes on
Gen V had a lot of mediocre mons but the ones that were good were 10/10

>>30555239
My favourite's gotta be Reuniclus.

I actually agree with OP tbqh

My favourite pokemon period, but there are a lot of contenders from Unova

>>30555239

But I'll say Chandelure.

We are not talking about gen VI.

Tbh I really enjoyed BW/B2W2 more than DP & XY.

Never played ORAS yet. I know many people said it's bad but I'm getting it solely for my experience.

>>30555239
Honestly, it's Scolipede. Thanks to the donut meme people will think I'm saying this to be funny, but it is legitimately my favorite Unova mon.
Hydreigon is great as well.

It honestly wasn't bad... just not nearly as good as it could have been. It could have been one of, if not the best games released but it was not to be. Still worth a play though.

>>30555873
If you try to actually have fun instead of listening ot others then maybe you'll enjoy ORAS. I tried as well and had some fun but replaying it felt really boring. Hope you enjoy it though.

I could go on, but the only good thing about it is reusable TMs, that's it. People give(admitedly deserved) shit towards 3D Pokemon, but their major problems are symptoms of BW's accidental success

Nah,the best game is XY.
BW was the worst since it has too much new pokemon and no old pokemon.

>>30556013
>Introduced the concept of NPC """""""""friends"""""""""
Bianca and Cheren were both decent rivals who ended up with teams that weren't useless
I don't think the friendly carefree rival+serious tryhard rival setup is anywhere near as annoying as the useless XY friend group.

>>30556322
It should have stayed as a regional gimmick but no, they are the reason the XY "friends" exist.

Face it, if XY and beyond drew more from Gen4, they would have a chance of being decent games at best. Fuck BW and the people who capitalized on its accidental sucess.

>>30556013

1. what is johto
2. fwend rivals has been a thing since gen3
3. ignoring that many pkmn only became relevant due to abilities they gained from that
4./5. when you introduce fucking 150+ pokemon in one game, the chances of cancerous combinations showing up several times are by default higher than ~100ish and ~70 generations
6. kyurem was fine, zygarde got cucked.
7. the same old "excluding"-bullshit weve seen from idiots who honestly thoguht BF in ORAS was a remotely realistic expectation for some reason

>>30555239
Yep i agree, it also has the best OST

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2rcrJuuAws

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV_2u6EDx6c

Favorite pokemon are Chandelure and Reuniculus

Wait, /vp/ finally realises how brilliant BW are?

It's hard to say they're the best games when most of the comunity hates its guts.

Not the best Gen for me but I really love the Stoutland line
Herdier right now in my B2 run feels like my real starter

>>30556381
>1. what is johto
More a case of GSC riding off the coattails of Kanto because its the most successful region. I believe this is why the exclusion of backward compatibility was a good thing for Gen3.
>2. fwend rivals has been a thing since gen3
Barry is a friend rival done right, helped that he's THE only friend you knew in the game. Wally took a remake to redeem himself but eh.
>3. ignoring that many pkmn only became relevant due to abilities they gained from that
They could at least replace their past abilities with those HA's instead of excarbating the RNG problem.
>4./5. when you introduce fucking 150+ pokemon in one game, the chances of cancerous combinations showing up several times are by default higher than ~100ish and ~70 generations
And this is why I welcome the recent decision to introduce less Pokemon. I admit we do have some huge stinkers like Aegislash though(and UBs if you consider them legitimate).

>>30555239
I wasn't underaged when these games came out so I'm afraid I can't agree with my fellow /vp/ posters on this issue.

>>30556369
lt did work better as a regional gimmick. The point of them was to contrast each other and then have the protag's path be somewhere in the middle between Cheren pursuing meaningless strength and Bianca being weak but looking for her calling in life. They exist to play up the black and white theme; their names even mean black and white.

every year more chilren learn to use the internet and start defending their first pokemon games on /vp/. Most of the mainstream internet is still on their "gen 4 was the best" phase now that the "gen 3 is the best" phase has been laid to rest, but /vp/ is always a step ahead when it comes to having a young userbase.

Gen 5 was the first time a core pokemon game did not manage to spark any form of interest what so ever.

Gen I was like nothing I'd seen before.
Gen II... was kinda shit desu
Gen III had kanto and hoenn, best gen.
Gen IV... Walking pokémon!!
Gen V.......
Gen VI HOLY SHIT 3D MODELS!! It's so beautiful.... T_T
Gen VII So far so good I guess...

Worst games desu.
They look terrible.
Had a few good musical tracks though, and some neat mons.
But overall the map/land sucks, the game looks terrible, and the c-gear was utter shit.

I'm not surprised unovabortions are circle-jerking about it tho, it's that time of the month.

Please, /vp/ is easily one of the boards with the most underages, most of unovabortions you see played Gen 5 as their first. You being one of the few exceptions doesn't make this fact false.

Golurk is easily #1.

I also like Chandelure, Cryogonal, Lilligant, and Volcarona a lot though.

>>30556475
>not liking Aegislash or UBs

wash that shit taste out of your mouth

Litwick, Joltik, Golurk, Volcarona, in that order.

Gen 5's weird for me. I fucking adore Black and White, and those games in particular are my second favorite in the whole series (behind GSC), but I'd rather replay BW2, which I feel was far more replayable even though I think they're a bit worse than BW.

I liked the story beats in BW a lot, so sue me. BW2 kinda shat all over it with Gheistis' retarded plan and Colress doing literally nothing. Great gameplay though.

If I had to pick a favorite it would be Serperior

On BW I used this team:
Samurott
Hydreigon
Volcarona
Lilligant
Eelektross
Reuniclus

On BW2:
Serperior
Vaporeon
Lucario
Zoroark
Shiny Haxorus
Chandelure

It's an opinion, nigger.

>>30556013
Johto was the first region to dumb things down especially with Kanto. Also that recent trend is a direct cause of Sinnoh.
What is gen 1. Blue was never a dick as much as he was that kid. He still helped you out with hints.
How is that a bad thing? Unless you want to go back to gen 2s breeding where everything was literally luck.
Agreed
Nothing wrong there. Those mon aren't hard to deal with on their own.
That would be Plat. Remember Giratina? Also remember how you had to pick Giratina in the HGSS Arceus event because they event locked the orbs and thus it's form because the orb wasn't tradeable?
That again is gen 4 DP didn't have the frontier and Plat, well, let's say that no one was pleased that we didn't get the BF.

>>30557008
>Gen IV... Walking pokémon!!
You're kidding right?

What's with the false flagging Sinnohfetuses lately?

>>30557115
Thicc

>>30557497
Nah
If you knew his fanbase, they mostly just rip on him as a joke, and not many people actually yell at him unless he forgot to give someone a flame orb or whatever
