pokemon with awful designs have existed in every generation. That said, not every generation is equal
racism!
Not to mention the single player had some serious issues. You still dealt with level 20 wild pokemon near the final gym
Mr. Mime, Jinx, Voltorb...
Voltorb is an interesting take on mimics in a game where a pokeball is a chest
and some really dumb evolutions where you just add more pokemon. Magnemite, Dugtrio
not to mention a nice visual pun
gen 6 & 7 both added less pokemon than gen 2, and gen 4 only added 7 more
I think the biggest problem with the series is diminishing returns
White 2 was the first one I played, and my favorites are almost exactly in line with the order I played them in to the point of not even leaving Sun & Moon's first island
Hmm It seems getting Pasionate fanbases to attack you is a lot harder than the media says it is.
tons of pokemon added in Gen 2 became competitive staples with good stats too
no
what besides ttar?
Blissy, Forretress, Heraross, Miltank, Steelix, Skarmory
Ok yeah that's true
@Khanclansith what do you mean?
but the rest basically suck
That said, the gen 3 remakes and Platinum are much higher on my list favorably than chronologically
Umbreon, Proygon2, Suicune
Mistreavous was playable in Gen 2
I just want Ledeon to be good. He's so cool
Here I am claiming all Pokemon games suck and rather than trying to lynch me like the media says toxic fanbases do, they are all ignoring me while going on about which games they preffer @.B
gen 2 competitive teams were a good 50/50 mix of gen 1 and 2 mons
HAHAHHAHHA
Gen 2 was a bit of a stallfest because of how EVs worked
stall is love, stall is life
That's a big part of them adding in entry hazards in 3
Well, ignoring people that aren't saying anything productive is usual
Spikes were added in gen 2
some meta discussions are just avoidable too
RIP Khan, your b8 sucked
As much as people complain about the games all being the same the games did a good job at adding new mechanics each gen
every game changed the competitive scene quite a bit
I just didn't like what the competitive scene became with gen 5 onwards
Gen 4 was the last great pokemon meta imo
I think from best to worst I'd rank White 2, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Black 2, Platinum, Heart Gold, Y, X, all the ones I haven't played, GO, Moon, Sun
I liked gen 5 the best as long as you avoid OU
(also I don't do competitive so that isn't factoring into my rankings)
4 added the very best change though with the phys/special split. No question about that
the split was amazing
