>there are people who still actually think gen v is more controversial than gens vi and vii
>>32787079
Don’t you go through the whole game seeing only new designs? Might as well be Yo Kai
>>32787079
Yeah, because it's true.
Gen V was when the "Pokemon is running out of originality" shit was most prominent though.
>>32787079
Because that's how it is. Gen V is shit. But Gen VII "fresh" ideas (no gyms, z-farts) are the dumbest things in the whole franchise.
>>32787079
gen 5 is great, and I loved it, all new pokemon was fresh and fun.
>>32787079
How is gen 6 controversial when it's universally agreed to be lackluster?
>>32787111
and ironically enough gen 5 has more mons than any other generation.
>>32787993
It was because it was probably the worst offender of generational "counterparts."
Swoobat, Watchog, Liepard, Amoonguss, Chandelure, Reuniclus/Gothitelle, Gigalith, Jellicent, Hydreigon, Unfezant, Leavanny, Scolipede, Genesect, Victini, Conkeldurr, Musharna, Seismitoad, Garbodor, Klinklang, Excadrill...
While I like a lot of these designs, there's no denying that other gens only had a fraction of these types of generational counterparts, and it comes across like a bunch of bootleg copies of tried and true Gen I formulas.

>"all new pokemon was fresh and fun".
>the gen with counterfeit Tauros
>the gen with pokemon that are litteral garbage
>>32788388
>cherry picking
>>32788400
>not knowing what "All pokémon" mean
>>32787111
No, that was Gen. 4 by giving evolutions to a bunch of old Pokemon.
>>32788410
Gen 4 is the "everything is overdesigned" meme.
>>32788410
Gen 4 was fine... evolutions to old favorites leaves the old favorites alive and well in the next generation. I liked Rhyperior, as long as the designs are good it's fine.
There are people who liked gen5 so OP is right. 6 and 7 are unanimously hated.
>>32789467
only on /vp/
>>32787967
Now that's a thought that really activates the almonds.
>>32787079
>There are people in this board in this very moment that think Gen V was good
>>32789467
Hahahahahahahaha
>>32790833
Which proves that at least some people on this board don't have shit taste.
>>32789483
>>32789467
They're not even unanimously hated on this shithole. The only regions that have been shit are Hoenn and Sinnoh. Everything else has been good.
>>32788114
You have some of the worst taste I've ever seen on this board.
>>32790855
Just joking anon although it does have the largest amount of useless Pokemon
>>32787079
Were you there for wottergate? The fairy shitfest was about the closest thing gens vi and vii ever had to that, and it wasn't even close to the magnitude of shitposting during wottergate.
>>32790949
Man I remember reading at screen caps of wottergate that was the biggest shit storm I've heard of
>>32790977
That is why gen v will always be the most vehemently debated generation on /vp/. Until something surpasses that, which it probably won't, gen v remains the most controversial generstion on this board.
>>32791054
No Gen V is just fucking shit.
>>32791063
That's also true.
>>32787079
>>32790949
>>32790977
>>32791054
>>32791063
There's even a fucking academic paper about Wottergate. It's in portuguese, but still a paper:

The title says: Serebii Confirmed: Journalistic scopes in gaming press.

>Being this autistic to think this as a serious question
>>32787079
The only controversy about Gen VII is all the starter leak thing, and it was a lot more intense when happened in Gen V.
The only thing controversial about Gen VI is about the lack of third version, but it's only some anons assblasted because of it.
>>32790909
what?
