Which generation had the best metagame?

>>33504426
8

>>33504426
gen 4

None of them had good a good metagame. PvP in Pokémon is shit, a joke and needs to be removed so it doesn't hold back the single player elements.

>>33504431
prove it time traveler

>>33504426
3
Stable with some surprisingly fair cheeses that could counter the meme teams like skarmbliss (hello McGar and BOAH)

>>33504459
Auto-trick room ability got released on a surprisingly balanced Pokemon and after a few bans everything fell into place

that sentence doesn't even make sense anyway
on what planet could a rain boosted scald from a politoed not take out a tyranitar without its sand

gen4 OU after mence ban

>>33504500
defensive toed and support Ttar

>>33504437
this. speaks for truth

objectively gen 4

>>33504486
Time traveler anon kun. I got some few questions for you.

In gen 8. Did they finally fix Decidueye speed and special attack by switching them around?

>>33504486
Is Grumpig finally viable?

>>33504437
when did pvp considerations ever affect the single player

in fact, when did game freak ever consider the pvp at all

>>33504664
ha ha
>>33504677
it got no buffs and does not benefit from trick room with 80 speed, so no

>>33504437
>He wants PvP gone
>One of the core features of the game along with collecting, training and trading
why don't you go play some spin off or some other shit and fuck off

>>33504426
4 easily.

>>33504760
>fucking Grumpig has 80 speed
I never knew this and I've been playing Pokemon since the beginning

If it were made in this gen it would probably have 30 speed or something

>>33504426
3 and 4 were pretty good

>>33504426
Gen 3 had the best meta. Hidden power made a lot of shitmons viable.

>>33504437
Pvp is way way more fun than the single player. Hope pvp is more expanded in switch game

>>33504486
>he thinks mime esquire is anything but absolute shit
at least you can run eviolite mr mime

>>33504426
5. Weather wars were at their zenith.

>>33506163
Fuck off Switch shill.

>>33504426
The beginning of every gen meta.

Gen 5. The Weather Wars and the Anti-Meta Trick Room (Life Orb Reuniclus)

Max HP means 252 EVs in the HP stat, not full health

What was good about Gen 4? People shit on Gen V's meta for Weather but all I remember from Gen 4's was sand, sand, sand teams fucking everywhere.

Nigga just hyper beam.
