    Literally straightforward design philosophy.
    I liked it because the routes and their music had alot of charm to them.
    If you want a more complex experience that is ofcourse if you might recall Black 2 White 2 wherein there is more backtracking and hectic exploration wherein you don't know where your adventure will take you next at all.
    Because of how chaotic the route exploration was it was both confusing but also unexpected.

    Best region by far. Very unique, music is per route is the best in the series, the DS pixel art gives it more added care and detials which was lost in the Great Leap Forward to 3D.

        If only that carried onto other games. Probably unnecessary work, but I would hope it returns. At least with it not returning it doesnt have to return in a half baked game. Maybe one day GF will go all out and put dynamic music in a good game.

      I think the issue is since the game has seasons they felt the need to make all the routes bland and vanilla looking by default just you can see the difference when the seasons change. Regions like Hoenn and Kalos have way more variety in terms of route aesthetic.

      Black 2 White 2 gives the balance of old mons and new mons, which is something Unova needed but it further gives the game SO MUCH BEAUTY.

      In the original gen 5 games you can enjoy the entire region as its stand alone entry, no ties to any other game (except for that team rocket dad in Icirrus City) as it was a whole new start like Hoenn was but this time it is with a bit more new pokemon than before.
      I agree not all designs are as strong as Hoenn, I believe every Hoenn design is a diamond in its own right, including Luvdisc it is a niche valentines pokemon I love it.

      B2W2 did not have to be made. We could have went straight to Gen 3 remakes in the Gen 5 style and that was it. However with Black and White receiving what surmounts to a sequel and a remake we were given a unique experience that has never been replicated as much as before with the exception of USUM but that is like cheating. We want sequels and remasters, not updated versions set in an alternate timeline if you arrived 1 year later.

      B2W2 because it is a sequel gives that RESO-NATING Feeling of old and new which is POETIC because it gives access to the old mons,
      Gen 5 was a masterpiece. INCLUDING THE WORLDBUILDING. Some of the best Pokemon Lore ever made and the world in my opinion felt more alive because of it. GameFreak finally made their European based game which they wanted for atleast since Gen 2 I believe with there being alot of movies and sidegames set in a European environment.
      That further melts into how Japanese people thought the USA had castles and kings like Europe when they first met the USA.

      Gen 5 was genius, asbolutely genius. Unfortunately because Black and White sold less than even Diamond and Pearl did and B2W2 selling even less Gamefreak most likely will not take the risk of making Third Versions of Sequel or reboot games ever again.

          There is not a single bad Hoenn design. Yes even Luvdisc is neat it is a niche valentines pokemon.

            You personally liking all the gen3 designs does not mean they were all well-made. You have an egocentric mentality. Also, pokémon designs are nothing more than images created by a bunch of japanese people throwing shit at a wall, specially during the development of gen3 when the focus was on developing the gameplay/engine. You have to be delusional to believe this somehow produced not just the best batch of them but also designs that are literally perfect.

    Gen V is tied with Gen III for best generation.

    In addition to the most expansive worlds to explore, these were also the generations which had the most post-game content, which is what ultimately makes your journey meaningful. You don't just spend all that time training your team, just to put the game down and move on. You actually get to see and enjoy the fruits of your labour.

    Emerald and B/W2 are the peaks of the series.

                It is playable though.

                > Original Content is ideal
                So you agree XY is better than BW2 and Platinum, since it’s more original than either of those games. Good to know.

                You're so intellectually dishonest it's kind of amusing.
                XY steals from other generations, BW2/Pt/E being the "third version" have a reason to improve upon the base games. Ideally only the third versions should exist. However in a vaccum the third versions mog XY which is still in base game tier and it's not particularly close to the top.

                Rotation an triple battles become sub 20 fps slugfests, the only cool thing about Maison was easier Multi due to everyone and their grandmas owning a 3DS

                Amon if you played the Subway first, which was better designed by far, there’s no reason to play the Maison. How is Triples or Rotations any better than the other two modes?

                Because no one brought up third versions at that point. We were discussing the Subway and the Maison only before the genwar started, which were both introduced in first version games.

                How? We were comparing the Subway to the Maison, which were both introduced in first version games, so I pointed out that Subway is more original, and that originality is an important factor for a battle facility. You took that and ran with it by saying originality is now also important for saying rehashes are bad now, which is a moronic leap of logic.

                Already addressed. First versions aren’t supposed to be the rehashes. The rehashes are supposed to be rehashes. Rehashes being rehashes doesn’t make them bad rehashes. The whole point is to maximize content and fix problems. This is not the objective and/criteria when judging a first version game, which would be to be original.

                That actually happened to no one, like glitches in most Pokemon games. The Lumiose Save Glitch, however, was so common across all versions that they had to put out that map to prevent people from triggering it. Who would have thought saving was extremely common? This was a much more massive oversight that should have been caught during testing.

                I don't think it's lazy to test every single move in every single edge case each. Compgays just exploit what they can. It's much lazier to not catch the fact that you can't save in a massive area in the game, which everyone does.

              I wasn’t trying to. You asserted that XY were more original and that post you responded to was me showing how you’re wrong.

                You didn’t show me I’m wrong though because you failed to prove XY isn’t more original than Platinum and BW2.

                Original > Copy + Paste. Hence why subway > Maison.
                Also battles are faster on gen 5 compared to gen 6 so that's also a plus for subway.
                Rotation an triple battles become sub 20 fps slugfests, the only cool thing about Maison was easier Multi due to everyone and their grandmas owning a 3DS

                Almost none of Kalos is actually creative. It’s all insanely generic to demonstrate 3D. There were no otherworldly locations like the distortion world
                >inb4 hallway
                We’re talking about creativity. The closest Kalos came was LE CAVE WITH MIRRORS. Chargestone mogs that trash conceptually. Unova’s and Sinnoh’s diverse cities mog Kalos’s samey cities.
                >entirely new stories and characters
                Story is a retread of previous gen’s of the highest order the series has seen. All the characters have no arc and are blander than ever before.
                >brand new models and graphical assets
                You only have a point here when referring to the pokemon models specifically, which were all present in Pokédex 3D Pro and the Pokepark series and slightly edited by Creatures Inc to fit XY. This only applies for new Pokemon.

                > Original > Copy + Paste
                That’s referring to a first version like XY. See

                >shifts back to facilities when caught being a moron
                For a first version, originality is more important. For an intentional improvement, the raw numbers matter more. These do not contradict. Now stop shifting like a rat.

                That only implies that BW (which holds the original content) is better than a sequel. Not that XY that's a bad Kanto copy is any good.

          Literally straightforward design philosophy.
          I liked it because the routes and their music had alot of charm to them.
          If you want a more complex experience that is ofcourse if you might recall Black 2 White 2 wherein there is more backtracking and hectic exploration wherein you don't know where your adventure will take you next at all.
          Because of how chaotic the route exploration was it was both confusing but also unexpected.

          Best region by far. Very unique, music is per route is the best in the series, the DS pixel art gives it more added care and detials which was lost in the Great Leap Forward to 3D.

          10/10 generation, also has my favorite champion of all time in it: Alder..

          P.S Started playing back in pearl and played all mainline Gen 3 and 4 games before Gen 5.
          Just for context.

          here.
          In B2W2 you literally get on the second route and its extended location the Floccessy Ranch a Mareep, Venipede, Sewaddle and Riolu.
          Navigate towards the east, enter the Route Gate (yes we had those remember? they added the impression of modern infrastructure into the game) that leads to Virbank City, then go to the south of Virbank and you have access to Magnemite and Elekid/Magby.

          What do you mean you struggle with shitmons in every early route? We were spoiled with proper power per location, excluding the first route from BW and B2W2.

      Because BW/BW2 were decent RPGs which is outstanding for Pokémon games. It's blatantly obvious that people who defend SS or SV only play pokémon.
