Say what you will but barring maybe the monkeys, and the starters, Gen V has the best dex with the best Evolutionary lines.
>>
>>31151074
Nah, that's where Gen 5 failed. Gens 6 and 7 are worse, sure, but it's more humiliating with Gen 5. Gen 5 tried to recapture the magic that was genwun and failed so miserablely, that GF just said "fuck it" and tried to outright copy genwun instead of it imitate it ever again. This is why BW are usually regarded among the worst Pokémon games. But that's a good thing though, or else we wouldn't have gotten B2W2, which is arguably the best game in the franchise.

They aren't the worst games in the series, but they do have a good amount of bad dex fillers

Most of the creative designs like the Galvantula Pic related Excadrill Haxorous Hydreigon Krookidile Reinculus Chandelure and number of others are some of the best designs in the series

Also they do succeed in improving gen 1 like designs

The best examples are probably Crustle and Bltizle

BW did it right: have a bunch of new Pokemon dominate the main game and then reintroduce old Pokemon in post-game. The point was to make the game feel like it was taking place far away from the first 4 regions.

However, making so many "this is American Geodude"-type lines was a mistake.

I like a decent share of Gen 5 designs but I don't personally give it that much credit, too much edgy shit that kills the atmosphere.

>>
>>31152389
It's kind of silly to shit all over a game even partially over what's ultimately just a minor aesthetic tack-on, but I really did feel like it made the game more enjoyable and sucked me into it. It especially made grinding more satisfying when you could stop and talk to your ace every once and a while and see their improvement beyond just the meaningless numbers scrolling by with every level up, it gave them some personality and gave me some more purpose in what I was doing.
>>31152407
Gen V introduced a lot of cool shit but, yeah, that didn't make much sense.
Sucks that SM didn't get followers either even after all that animation work, I just hope it'll make it into the remakes or a third version/sequels if that ever happens again. It doesn't really seem out of the realm of the 3DS' capabilities.

>ITT: people thinking Pokémon designs were simplified to sell toys
That's stupid. Toys with smooth curves aren't just somehow easier to produce than toys with irregular curves and edges. The real reason is that they realised that kids like to draw Pokémon, so they intentionally made them easier to draw.

>>31152262
No it doesn't. Pokémon designs were simplified right away, starting from Gen2.

Also why the fuck is the Seismitoad line here? The only line I'd axe is the damn construction clown line. It's utilizing a very rare design aspect sure(mon holding a real world item), I can deal with holding spoons but holding support beams and girders is where I draw the line.

>people complaining about Pokémon designs

A reminder to get a load of this and be grateful for what you have.

So...do people not realize that most of these archetypes apply to other gens as well? Have you NOT been playing pokemon for the last 20 years?

But it's cool to hate on gen 5.

>>31155546
On /vp/ it's cooler to hate on genwun, yet newgenfags somehow feel more attacked

And this wasn't a reason for you to stop pulling bullshit out of your ass why?
>>
>>31151054
Seel and Dewgong, also just as shit as the Vanillite line
Shellder and Cloyster too but they're the best
>>
>>31151189
Exggecutor is definitely more remembered over fucking Ponyta
>>
>>31152163
Artist should do Crabominable and Kingler next

I hope you all aren't only just realizing all the Gen 5 lines are just remakes of Gen 1.

I hope you aren't just realizing this is the easiest bait to stir up gen wars

Apart from Purugly, everything else you mentioned is either just a constant to every gen just like the starters, or just animals they chose to repeat.
For some reason, whenever they make a spider pokemon, people never say "it's just an ariados copy", but god forbid if they copy an animal or plant that was present in gen 1.
At least Mothim had an alternate evo depending on gender, and Carnivine is literally a whole nother different species of plant that just happens to e carnivorous too, unlike shit like Seismitoad which is literally the same kind of animal as Poliwag.
>>
>>31157572
You forgot the bears
>>
>>31161811
Mothim and Wormadam are Foretress clones, just like how Galvantula and Araquanid are Ariados clones.
>>
>>31161811
>or just animals they chose to repeat.
>unlike shit like Seismitoad which is literally the same kind of animal as Poliwag.

There's a contradiction here. Sounds like you're biased against gen 5.
>>
>>31157572
I think I might save this, this image is actually helpful for me. I just wish there was a fuller version, I need to know all of the pokemon "tropes."
>>
>>31151308
God the wotter final evolution was so FUCKING bad especially compared to how godlike the first two are.
>>
>>31162592
Nah, I just have a thing with the exact same thing.
Like, Galvatula is more of a tarantula than a spider, while Dewpider is a water spider. These are all different species than what Ariados is based on.
Same thing for Carnivine, Mothim, etc.
Seismitoad however is based on basically the same species as Poliwag is. That annoys me.
I do like Seismitoad tho. Wish it had higher special attack.
>>
>>31165169
>Seismitoad however is based on basically the same species as Poliwag is. That annoys me.

Just because they're both blue?

You realize that even frogs have different subspecies, right? Poliwrath and Seismitoad are as different as Delcatty and Persian.
>>
>>31151074
This
>>
>>31165332
Delcatty and Persian are both domestic cats. Maybe different breeds (actually I'm not so sure) but still the same shit.
So are Seismitoad and Poliwag. There might be tons of different frog/toad species but they didn't even TRY to make them look too different or reference a particular species. They're just generic frogs, one has the quirky tingly thing the other has the warts, but at the end of the day they're the same shit.

You realise the whole thing with BW was it was basically Gen 1 but with new Pokemon?
The dex is almost identical.

Heracross and Pinsir are specifically bug fight favorites. Violin beetles are not.

It is nothing but cute. That's the problem.

I agree.

Man gen 5 & 1 really suck

I like that it's different. It was interesting seeing how design philosophy changed for the series and seeing a modern take on old designs.
>>
>>31166098
ok

>>31155372
It lost the smug boxer look of the original. It's just a thug now.
>>
>>31165475
Please cite the similarities between the Poliwag line and the Dimpole line. I think they are different enough.
>>
>>31157572
You forgot Manaphy.
>>
>>31166230
Their body shapes and the impressions they give are pretty different from each other.
