Current Events > Gen 5 is the best Pokemon gen and anyone disagreeing is literally wrong>_>

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hells yeah Gen 5 is the best. Not having that shitty Fairy-Type is also a banger.

Nuzlockes on Black/White 1 and Black2/White2 on Hard mode is also one the better Pokmon experiences you can have.

Chandelure, literally the best non-legendary Special Attacker. GOAT Pokemon.

Even if Gigalith was a lazy rehash, does that automatically devalue its existence?

Yes. Especially over mons who actually have some more thought than: "we need to reach an arbitrary number of 150 new mons in this game kay thanks."

Still not seeing the problem

You don't see the problem with adding Pokemon that are basically a lazy rehash of an older Pokemon. Alrighty then.

Thats every generation. Thats literally the entire Pokemon franchise. No big deal.

Pokemon Gold had a demo version in 1997 that was recently datamined. The most interesting part of this was the Pokemon sprites in the game and how the early designs for many Pokemon from Gen 2 changed throughout the development of Gold/Silver, and how there are many scrapped designs that didn't make the cut before the game went gold, pardon the unintended pun. It shows how GameFreak, at the time, were willing to spend a lot of time redesigning Pokemon if they didn't think the designs of the Pokemon were strong enough and were willing to scrap Pokemon rather than include them if they didn't think the designs were good enough. The result is a game with many iconic Pokemon designs that feel like worthwhile additions to the franchise, regardless of competitive viability.

I wish that GameFreak had maintained these high standards when designing new Pokemon in Gen 5, If they had culled or reworked poorly-designed Pokemon, like what was done in Gen 2, it would have resulted in a far stronger roster of Pokemon than what we got, even if the amount of Pokemon received would have been less. Alas, this was not to be and it means that Gen V is the worst game, in terms of the overall roster of Pokemon added to the franchise.

Gen 5 was a lot of fun, it had good implementation of showing the seasons and it was something I feel should have been in gen 6 and 7.

Bisharp and Mandibuzz are my favorite Pokemon of all time

Would have been a much stronger game if they had more strong and interesting designs like Bisharp and Mandibuzz, which I also like, and less like the copypaste monkeys or the shameless ripoffs of older mons.

Hey now.

The monkeys were rad >_> I liked the "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" reference.
---

Platinum was my favorite one, to the point I completed a living Pokedex in it.

I've recently started Pokemon Moon though. I'm a bit late. lol
---

I remember having a massive crush on N

I legit read lemon fanfiction about him every night for hours it was bad lmao
---

N = nerd
---

Wait... people didnt like the addition of the fairy type? It added much needed viability to Pokmon that people before wouldnt have even looked at.
---

I like fairy type cuz it gives poison and steel something to hit.

I don't like that its immune to dragon moves. That's BS lol
