Genwunners are literally the plague of the pokemon fanbase and responsible for the absolute pathetic state of the game at the moment, starting with gen 5 remakes.
>Gamefreak tries to do something original in gen5 with no old mons in regional dex, rebooted route numbers, ect
>genwunners cry and scream and drop BW2, even though it added a bunch of obligatory genwunner mons
>Gamefreak panics and X/Y comes out super pozzed
>Full of pandering to genwunners including genwunner shitmons being obligatory additions to every game gen 6 fowards.
>never get a region without at least half old mons going forwards, most of which will be obligatory gen 1 shitmons like Charizard
>noticeable reduction in difficulty going forward and abandon of the postgame easy/challenge modes
>new gimmick battle mechanic every generation
>type rebalancing and a new type in response to b***hing, which isnt a problem but is huge move for gamefreak
How do we get out of this shit timeline where every game is gonna be full of genwunner bait and shitty mechanics?

      less so the facebook groups are moreso the huge dip in sales that B2W2 had, and it was basically all because genwunners were malding they couldn't have zubat maingame or whatever the frick else got their troony panties twisted around their balls. Gen 6 was the only ever significant game design direction change to address a direct loss of sales in pokemon franchise history

        It was because a lot of Gen V Pokemon look like shit and barely anything was added to the formula, just hidden abilities and a LOT of power creep.

            It is not just abilities and I'm not really talking as much about Smogon. Pokemon like the 3 Genies (2 forms each and all broken except the bird), Volcarona, Hydreigon, Excadrill, Conkelldur, and Whimsicott all basically permanently raised the power level necessary for a mon to be good and have no real flaws for what they're designed to do outside the basic "it's weak to type X" shit

              Weather wars was a thing in VGC too, if you remember what those teams looked like they were stupid heavy skewed towards either sand or sun.

              I don't think gen 5 was the worst for powercreeped pokemon, it just introduced the most of them, so it had a disproportionate effect. The likes of Blissey, Snorlax, Garchomp, Ttar, and the like were all insanely centralizing in their day. I don't think a single gen 5 pokemon comes close to how bad Gen 4 Chomp or gen 2 Blissey/Skarm were

                yes, but it wasn't near as bad as gen 4 garchomp or curselax or OG skarmbliss. Its just still a problem because GF wont fix it. Garchomp arguably created the fairy type because of b***hing that dragons were OP

    I'll be honest, the franchise fricked itself. Now keep up with me because I'm about to say something very controversial: if the series had stuck to its guns in gen 3 and had moved on without a national dex, making games that feature a curated selection of old and new instead of always bringing back old pokemon, they could have weaned out the genwunners way earlier. They would have dropped the franchise because muh pidgey isn't in, the fanbase would be left with the people who just enjoy the games for what they are, and game freak wouldn't have felt the need to constantly pander. As an added bonus, less dev time would be allocated to backwards compatibility and BBND would have never happened.

          my point is that if genwunner shitmons like Charizard don't show up maingame, genwunners will cry and scream.

          There's a reason that 75% of mons added to B2W2 after the "only gen 5 pokemon in the regional dex" controversy in BW were gen 1 rather than the other three they could've chosen. Its because those people were b***hing about Gamefreak not reusing old designs maingame

              That anon mentioned 'zard as an example. RSE, DPPt, and PLA all included multitudes of Gen 1 Pokemon in their regional dex, while BW1 had only Unova before postgame. Not even Pikachu. This, in addition to the fact personal transfers was postgame as well, is what they mean by genwunners kicking and screaming about having to use new Pokemon.

                at the time RSE got criticized for not having enough genwun mons too, and people forget that, despite having like 10-12ish lines of kanto mons available maingame, partially because only a few of them were available super early game

    The worst part is considering much hate Gen2 gets for "leaning on Kanto" and "being glorified DLC" to the point were even TPC treats Johto like the black sheep of this shit franchise, you'd think that everyone would be happy that Unova did the smart thing focused on its own Pokémon and characters, but instead people b***h because they had to use the NEW Pokémon in the NEW region, what a nightmare!
