One of my favorite Gen 5 Pokemon
>>32502072
B/W is still my pick for best entry in the franchise.
>>32502093
>No fairies
Good times
Name a game with a better regional dex than B/W. Protip: you can't.
>>32502072
Gen 5 was truly the best
>sigilyph, reuniclus, carracosta, crustle, durant, lilligant, maractus, scolipede, seismitoad, galvantula, etc are perfect and wonderful PERFECT AND WONDERFUL

Volcarona seems to be mentioned here as people's favorite Pokemon a lot nowadays. (Including myself) I was wondering for what reasons and here's the reasons I can think of:
>has a very well liked design to the point where it's not uncommon for people who talk about hating gen 5 designs to specifically exclude it
>is new enough that most people who just played the first few games won't know about it, but is old enough that it's not talked about much
>strong, but just not strong enough to be OU, meaning it's usable but not known as cancer like genies and many others are
>not very gimmicky in how it's obtained or used, but is still different enough to stand out
>non-starter Fire-types are pretty rare, and Bug-types seem to be pretty well-liked here
>has the unusual combination of Flame Body and Fly, meaning it's good for people who breed Pokemon for whatever reasons
>makes sense for those kinds of people to be more common on a Pokemon board
Any other reasons?

>Best fossils

But yet it also has one of the best Fairies.
Gen 5 has some of my favourite designs. Samurott, Archeops, Scolipede, Gigalith, Eelektross, Scrafty, Volcarona, Durant, Krookodile, Lilligant, Crustle, Whimsicott, Zebstrika, Golurk, Braviary, Hydreigon, Vanilluxe, Klinklang (the last two, yes really), I mean holy shit.
I was bummed out by how few Gen 5 Pokemon were in Sun and Moon, and half of them are version exclusives to each other as well.

Why haven't you released all your Pokemon yet?
>>32502748
Sounds about right. Gen 5 had better designs than s lot of people give it credit for but Volcarona is truly the breast.
>>32502401
>Not wanting to find all of those Geodude, Hoppips and Bellsprouts and Zubats again
Why did people hate BW1's main game being Gen 5 Pokes only? The majority of the Pokemon in that gen had competitive value.
>>32502961
I certainly didn't, don't really need to see a Zubat in every game
>>32502072
Happy birthday to you, anon, I hope your day goes well. And gen 5 is my favourite gen because of its varied designs. No damn fairies is a huge plus as well.
>>32502748
>strong, but just not strong enough to be OU
Literally false. Volcarona is an A rank OU threat and is OU by usage.
My favorite gen, my favorite Pokemon.

Yeah, I was wrong on that. I recall it being in BL for a while since SM's release, did that change recently or am I just remembering that wrong?
