How come gen 5 is only liked on /vp/?

>>31420684
It was edgy.

A) Normies have shit taste
B) /vp/ is full of contrarians.
Select all that aply.

>>31420684
Because not all of us are blind nostalgiafags and we can appreciate games objectively.

Most casual player's arguments against gen 5 are "Wtf no pikachu" or "HURR DURR ICE CREAM CONE!!!!1"

>>31420684
It got good reviews and sold lots of copies. Lots of people like it just fine as game.

>>31420727
>It got good reviews and sold lots of copies.
it got the worst reviews in the series and is the least selling gen overall

>>31420684

Not "on /vp/' so much as on the internet.

1) Excessive retaliation against genwunners.

You couldn't go anywhere without hearing some normie Pokemon Go trend kid saying "THERE'S ONLY 151 POKEMON! THE NEW GAMES ARE SO BAD, DID YOU KNOW THERES A GARBAGE BAG AND ICE CREAM!?!?!" Actual Pokemon fans got so sick of it that they started hailing Gen 5 as the messiah and hating Gen 1 more than it actually deserved. Nowadays you can't say you didn't like Gen 5 on the internet without someone kneejerking "OH YEAH WELL MUK IS LITERALLY A PILE OF SLUDGE AND AND--"

2) B2/W2 ARE great games, although I don't think they're the single best in the franchise. People forgot how meh B/W1 were though.

>>31420733
And? In the big picture it still did just fine.

>>31420733
>only 40 of Pokémon on famitsu
>least selling gen

Can you ever grammar

>>31420759
No it didn't. It had the biggest install base out of any pokemon game and sold the least. That's a failure in Nintendo's eyes.

>>31420760
Famitsu is just one review site, fuckwad. They have the lowest scores on Metacritic.

>>31420684
Visit other places that is not /vp/
We are everywhere

>>31420760
Famitsu is pretty much the IGN of Japan. And speaking of IGN, they gave both RBY and GSC a 10/10 themselves. I guess that means genwun really is infallible, right?

>>31420760
famitsu gave Skyrim a 40

>>31420771
You have a really ridiculous standard for what a failure is. It doing worse than other gens doesn't make it a failure, it still let Nintendo Execs Scrooge McDuck into a pile of money.

>>31420771
No they don't

Pokemon has literally been tied for HGSS BW X and SM at 87 for 7 years

Pokemon Y is literally just one point ahead for no real reason

>>31420771
>No it didn't. It had the biggest install base out of any pokemon game and sold the least. That's a failure in Nintendo's eyes.
BW2 is the best selling third version.

Also, Pokemon was suffering from stagnation at the time. We don't have third versions anymore for a reason - GF/Nintendo finally realized that being like Capcom just kills future sales.

>>31420794
>conveniently ignoring BW2's 79/80

>>31420803
>BW2 is the best selling third version.
No it isn't retard, that's Yellow.

>>31420788
Gen 5 will forever be known as the worst selling gen, as Gen 6 sold more and Gen 7 will sell more than Gen 6.

It'll be known as the low point in the series, in terms of sales (objectively) and quality (among most of the fanbase, not just /vp/)

>>31420823
>quality (among most of the fanbase, not just /vp/)
[citation needed]

>>31420684

/vp/ literally only "loves" it because everyone else hates it. it was the beginning of the end and set in motion the biggest problems that have extended into the following gens and lead the series to decline.

that said, I don't hate them, they are fun to play through every once in a while.

I liked it before I came to this cancer lump of a board.

>>31420722
B, fucking B.
Even if the games are fine, /vipui/ gives the too much credit.

>>31420823
its no coincidence gen 5 was the first to have prominent black characters, pandering to sjws ruins every franchise
its all been downhill since then

>>31420848
Yes, the "nips care about western sjw bullshit" meme.

/vp/ doesn't like Gen V just because normies hate it.

Me liking gen V has nothing to do with normies hating it.

>>31420684
BW were not that good.
BW2 was actually good but nobody played it because BW was not that good.

>>31420867
Pokemon would. Just compare how they handled the anime in its early days to how they handle it today. They used to have very Japanese-style humor that's deemed appropriate for kids over there, but they stopped doing that once they realized they had a franchise with worldwide appeal.

Gen 5 has niggers because the region literally is based on NYC you dumb fuck

It's a shame we'll never have another high point like Gen 5 again.

>>31420994
this is a fantasy franchise about elemental pets, just because its based off NYC doesn't mean they had to have shitskins in the game

People can say what they want, I liked gen 5 except for some of the pokemon they had to offer.

It had really good gameplay, unlike gen 4.
The game wasn't disgustingly hard like DP but wasn't too easy like XY.
First games not to take place in Japan.

>>31421087
Come to think of it DP was pretty difficult.

There are no white people in NYC. I bet when game Freak travelled to New York to do some studying before developing the game, they saw how many black people there were and thought.. man we should put these in our game because it will be more realistic.

>>31421110
Well at least they didn't make your rival a nigger, unlike XY

>I-it's only liked on /vp/ retard!. L-literally everybody outside of it hates it with a passion! S-source, what's that? FUCK OFF.

I also think people overhype Cynthia in gen 4. All she is is a cliche blonde nintendo fuckbitch designed to give young boys their first boners. and although she was hard, she wasn't really any harder than Flint, If you beat Flint, there was a good chance you would beat cynthia. especially if you picked tortera.

>>31421135
I didn't really care much for her, though she was difficult but too clichéd and boring.

>>31420684
>yfw you genuinely thing HGSS and Gen5 are the best games but people think you're just being an edgelord
Been playing since gen1 and i dont understand how theres any competition.

Yes it does count retard, this one isn't shopped unlike the other one.

>>31420684
Because /vp/ is autistic.

>>31420848
>adds one black character in a 99% white universe

"OMG STUPIH GF IS PANDERING TO SJWs"

there's nothing I love more than insecure white boys getting scared that other groups might get representation in games.

Literally no one said that everyone hates Unova. They said that it's regarded by most as the lowest proint in the series, which doesn't automatically mean they dislike it.
>>31421497
Not an argument.

>>31420823
Only reason why gen 6 sold more is because remakes always sell like hell

Also gen 5 only had bw1 and bw2 and no remakes, so of course it sold the least

>>31421548
Like what do you even get for saying the same things like every 2 weeks?

Like you've just admitted you are always the same person who like Goodra and Clawizter but will object to calling Hydreigon cartoony and therefore all the games are bad.

You are a sad person, but that makes sense because you're from /jp/. I have literal autism, what's your excuse for being a faggot

There's really nothing special about Cynthia at all. She's no more fleshed out than the other Champions, if not possibly less. The difference is that she's put in everything. She's the Rosalina/Lightning of the Pokemon series.

>>31421212
>Been playing since gen1 and i dont understand how theres any competition.

Explain your opinion. Why do you think there isn't any competition?

>>31421587
>gets BTFO
>claims I'm a different person to save face

Kek, stay mad, cuck.

i played gen 5 for the first time last year and i thought it was great. felt like i was playing a new generation of pokemon red/blue. the only thing i hated about the games were the starars and the lack of content in BW1.
