They made Gen 6 and 7. Even shitty Gen 3 looks like a gold mine compared to this Sonic 06 tier mess.

>>31947475
Hoennbabbies grew up, and that audience now being adults, are the ones praising Gen III all the time.
Same thing with all the Sinnoh praise as of late.
When all the children that started with Kalos grow up, don't be surprised when Gen VI is suddenly "the best one"

>>31947475

Remakes happened

And it makes me sad that some people never played RSE and are happy with playing an objectively worse version of those games.

>>31947475
People got over the loss of their old RBY and GSC bros and formed new ones to take to new gens.

The nostalgiafags responsible for all the Gen 3 hate finally got too old to live with their parents and lost internet access after getting kicked out

Hoennbabies are almost as bad as Genwunners. I hope Sinnohfetuses aren't as cancerous, but they'll probably find something stupid about DP to defend.

>>31947623
I actually liked the slow pace of DPPt, I hope they keep the aesthetic in the DiaPer remakes.

>>31947475
no, it was one of the best selling games in the franchise and on the GBA

>Gen 5
That's what happened

>>31947776
I liked gen V in terms of visuals, music, and story-telling, but the Pokemon designs were definitely one of it's weakest areas.

>>31947475
people realized how good they actually were even though they sold less

>>31947475
Basically gen 4 was released in what 2006?
Then people realised the game was good.

>>31947538
only Emerald was superior.

ORAS is still better than vanilla RS

>>31947841
Except the part where all 3 games sold incredibly well?

>>31947879
i thought emerald sold like ass

>>31947819
In my case I knew gen 5 was not going to be great ever since Zorua & Zoroak were revealed, I just knew there was going to be something different about it and sure enough it ended up like my least favorite

>>31947879
Sinnohbabbies don't remember that the only two games to become the best selling games so far are RS and XY.

>>31947897
It sold just about the same as crystal.

>>31947907
Gen V is also when the anime started to suck imo, so that may have had an impact on sales.

>>31947819
>The Pokemon designs were definitely one of its weakest areas
How can a single man have so much shit taste

>>31947985
he's fucking right
someone cue the comparisons from gen 1 for example

>>31947985
Idk man, I saw a lot of people complaining about the designs here on /vp/ when Gen V was coming out.

>>31947907
But gen V is good. B/W2 basically pulled a platinum and is one of the best pairs of games in the series

>>31948018
Yeah no you didn't.
The gen 5 mon hate didn't really start until it was revealed that they would be the only mon. Until then people liked them.

>>31947999
>t-this meanie is challenging my opinions!!! Bring in the holy genwun tables!!!

>>31948018
This happens literally every gen. Then in a couple months the vast majority of those designs grows on people and they blend in with the rest almost seamlessly as far as appreciation goes. Of course there are always exceptions that many agree on, like Lucario being furbait, Charizard being the normie-core pokemon and gen 4/5 legendaries being over abundant and crappy.

XY happened

>>31948098
the point was to point out how stupidly similar gen 5 ''''designs'''' are
but seriously, the gen is a disaster

>>31948055
>Yes BW2 saved gen 5
The thing is I didn't like most of the new designs which is OK, no one has to like everything but it was the fact that you were FORCED to use Pokemon you barely like what bother me the most (which I would bet is why they never did that again)

Only people with shit taste hate gen III tbhfam

>>31947567
This. Retards hated them because they couldn't bring their Kanto and Johto shitmons with them, but then stopped retarded and realized they were objectively better than Gens 1&2.

>>31948182
A disaster in the sense that it was a good pokemon game as opposed to a mediocre one.

>>31948182
Most gen 5 designs are supposed to be different takes on the ideas behind the original 151, you mouth breathing retard.

It was better gen 1 pandering than XY and SuMo could ever hope to.

Now please put a gun up your ass and pull the trigger, if you did it in your mouth you'll probably survive since brains are clearly superfluous to your biology

>>31947955
I think it sold a little more than Crystal and a little less than Platinum. Not bad considering it was on a less popular system than both of those games.

>>31948316
No, that's not what I meant and the games are irrelevant, we're talking design

>>31948323
Yeah and that's unsurprisingly the worst part of it, since they pulled it off bad
Alolan forms were the way to do it right

This. Gen 5 is the least popular gen in the series from a sales perspective. That also explains why they're so loved on this board. /vp/ is filled to the brim with contrarians.

The only gen I didn't care much for was DPPt. The mining stuff was pretty sweet though.

>>31948064
This.
I remember all the forums were going crazy about most of the new pokemon when the entire dex was leaked. People laughed for a second at the trashmon and icemon and then started to focus on the rest of them.
Even the normalfags who were checking out of curiosity loved some of the designs.
Then we learned that we only could use new pokemon and the shitfest began.

What's more controversial, Gen V or Gen VII? IMOTBHFAM it's VII.

That was until he insulte the ball. A primal fury took over the man, soon trembling with rage, struggling to type a response with the righteous sausages of justice that his fingers were. The ball had been insulted. He would not stand for this.

Gen VII.
Not saying that gen VII is worse, but gen VI was finished, so we could analyze gen VI as a whole, and then we realize that gen VI is worse than gen III.
Unironically, we got RS remakes in gen VI.

Can someone explain to me why people are loving Gen IV so much lately? Everywhere I go I see at least one person screaming for Sinnoh remakes and claiming it has the best games, not that I disagree

>He quickly glanced all around his room. The smell of rotting, putrid trash filled the room, for he had refused to honor the trash bag, his mortal adversary. For the same reason his fridge had been emptied of all ice cream, even if it was his favourite food, and the only memory he had of his grandfather, a de-geared pendulum clock, rested in pieces on the top of a pile of garbage. In the middle of this landscape of neglect stood a pedestal, the only clean furniture in the house. Upon it rested a golden reproduction of the Ball itself, blessed be Its Name. Its shiny angry eyes seemed to almost look in the direction of the man, transmitting a meditative and composed, but yet unbridled and limitless, amount of rage. The man nodded at the idol, struggling to push his hairy chin through the strata of lard cushioning his neck, before turning to his personal computer. He knew what he had to do.

Images of himself becoming rounder and rounder, like a sphere, started entering his mind. All his limbs slowly retracting until disappearing, all the unnecessary details being washed away together with all his insecurities and worries. His overdesigned silhouette being polished down to the perfect Shape, ascending to a divine condition, while the top of his body assumed a red coloration, symbol of burning hot passion, in sharp contrast with the now pale white bottom, representative of his spiritual purity. At the end of the process, only a feature had been retained: a pair of sharp frowning eyes, radiating an overwhelming presence of sterness in the universe around his perfect globular shape. As the vision clouded the man's mind, the euphoria induced a spontaneous orgasm, staining his pants with the liquid leaking through his virgin micropenis

At most half of the region is water. The land and sea theme was neat and in combination with dive added some nice forms of exploration. That's more than what Sun & Moon can say. The sea needed more Pokemon variety though.

Anon, 4 water type moves is one HM slave.
And you don't need them at all times either seeing as diving and waterfall locations are finite not to mention surfing becomes redundant once you reach each town.

Have you played these games or do you base your opinions on memes?

With that said Sinnoh is far worse especially in plat where you need HMs to access tutors. So you literally need them at all times.

As for exploring on land, there's no such thing.
