i think he means people judge things with recency bias and there was a lot of that back when gen 4 was revealed. fans were getting older and it was the first time literally everyone had the internet and a gen was revealed so yeah, plenty of criticisms voiced.
Torterra is cool
Kricketot is cute
Gastrodon is cool AND cute
Uhhh
I guess I like Mamoswine too
Arceus is good for what he's meant to be even if I prefer Mew as The Original Pokémon, but I guess a Normal type does make more sense.
uhhh
yeah the rest fricking sucks dick
Congrats on having shit taste, all of these are ugly as sin
You aren't defending anything. You eithwr have shit taste and you're trying to shove it down the throats of others, or you are intentionally shitting on something you know to be popular to encite rage in people on the internet. Stop. It isn't funny, it isn't epic, only you and your friends on discord who whip out their little wieners whenever someone replies to you give a single frick about your worthless opinion on a children's video game. >inb4 seethe, mald, etc etc
don't care
>You eithwr have shit taste
how ironic from someone defending gen 4 lol
the only dex worse than gen 4 are 7 and 8. You only like it if you are a zoomer. now stop talking and go drink your baby milk
These tiers are so autistic and wordy and that this list is meaningless, you and your friends should do a Jonestown recreation next
Anyways here’s my Sinnoh ranking, colors are self explanatory + blue means god tier design. Majority is neutral-to-bad but more good designs in there than I’d immediately think for Sinnoh.

The problem with Gen 4, is, there actually aren't a lot of good quality 'final team' options - referring to your chosen six that you bring to the Elite Four.
1. Remove all baby/NFE Pokemon, since you'll have evolved your pokemon by then.
2. Remove all Pokemon that are locked to post-Elite Four, like the legendaries, and all of the Pokemon that need special items like Gliscor
3. Remove the low-tier Pokemon like Kricketune, Wormadam, Chatot, etc.
4. Remove one of the fossil pokemon, and two of the starter pokemon, since you only choose one.
Remaining is a really small handful of 'solid' Pokemon. I found this pic Googling 'generic pokemon diamond team', uploaded with the caption "There is nothing wrong with the Gen IV 'cookie cutter' team and I'm tired of pretending there is" which sort of sums up how shallow the selection options are.
The games can still be fun, but, realistically, it limits replayability. Pokemon is like going into an ice cream shop. The more flavors available, the more 'happy customers' you are more likely to get, and the more you'll have people coming back to try different flavors.
Oh yeah, and breastsmonkey is an awful starter design
The other two are fine, but I don't love Empoleon's apron and I think Torterra's design is a bit 'unbalanced' for lack of a better word
remove smoochum, tyrouge, and the alphabet and you're left with 0 terrible designs vs. gen 4's many terrible designs. I would argue that gen 2 has barely any great designs, but I'll take bland over bad any day.
its not 2006 anymore
I find that logic confusing, apparently you aren't allowed to criticize something once it reaches a certain age?
i think he means people judge things with recency bias and there was a lot of that back when gen 4 was revealed. fans were getting older and it was the first time literally everyone had the internet and a gen was revealed so yeah, plenty of criticisms voiced.
>This shit is so fricking bad
not true
but enough about that, what is your favourite Pokémon in this Pokédex, /vp/?
>What is your favorite turd from this pile of shit
My bro Torterra
Congrats on having shit taste, all of these are ugly as sin
shut your hole you porch monkey
Post your favorite gen ap we can compare
honchkrow
stop genwarring, homosexual. seriously.
Staraptor is fricking awesome
blaziken is not a jobmon. you don't know what jobmon are. your list in general is just pure homosexualry and bait.
another great one
>stop defending the quality of a franchise you like by pointing out how this still-praised and influential aspect is actually objectively bad
no

The tradwife bunny.
Bidoof, no really
He's such a dork and I love the little animated short it got
gliscor is my bro, if we aren't counting crossgens then gotta go with gastrodon
I’ve always been weirdly fond of skuntank. His little pomp is so goofy it’s great.
Toxicroak my boy.
These guys
my friends and I ranked the worst pokemon designs the other day and like half of them are from gens 5 and 9
These tiers are so autistic and wordy and that this list is meaningless, you and your friends should do a Jonestown recreation next
Anyways here’s my Sinnoh ranking, colors are self explanatory + blue means god tier design. Majority is neutral-to-bad but more good designs in there than I’d immediately think for Sinnoh.
Why do you dislike roserade, moron? You don't like handsome poison flower mon?
congrats on making the new worst tier list of /vp/
t. furgay
>didn't add Lucario, the greatest furgaymon, to the list
fake and gay
Emboar line, Conkeldurr line, and Magmortar are fine. Chewtle belongs somewhere other than the tier that it's in though. That thing is horrendous.
I mostly agree with you and your buddy, cheers
>t. one of his buddies
POV you hate creativity and love shitty generic animal designs
3 ice cream cones with googly eyes is the antithesis of creativity, cope
actually a pretty good list, good job
LITERALLY nothing wrong with the 4th category and meowscarada, stupid normalBlack person
Good list Anon, don't listen to the homosexuals
Your friends and yourself sound and think like gays
3 > 2 > 1 >> 4 >>> 5 >>>>>>>>>>> the rest
>3 on top
RSE were your first games, weren’t they?
Sorry, anon. You’ve got the bad taste.
1 > 2 > 6 > 7 > 3 > 5 > 9 > 8 > 4
Nothing beats 1 but otherwise you're correct.
Not going to lie, I am enjoying people finally see how shitty Gen 4 was.
Torterra is cool
Kricketot is cute
Gastrodon is cool AND cute
Uhhh
I guess I like Mamoswine too
Arceus is good for what he's meant to be even if I prefer Mew as The Original Pokémon, but I guess a Normal type does make more sense.
uhhh
yeah the rest fricking sucks dick
Tell me you're underage without saying you're underage.
and you are right, never liked this dex, only torterra piplup vespiquen and froslass were the only good
Close.
I love Staraptor, Luxray, Gastrodon, and Lucario and want them on every time I play a gen 4 game.
What does the blue line mean?
Yep. Even as a kid that's when the monsters started to feel "off."
that shit is so fricking sexy
When I saw wurmple I knew the series was dead. "Is that... A fricking caterpie/weedle clone? WHY"
How can a regional dex be this soulless?
>How can a regional dex be this soulless?
Not just the dex, but the entire region is soulless

Struggling from success
One of a kind
The worst dex is Alola. It is literally 80% jobmons, troonymons and garbage like the ultra beasts, ehat a disgrace
Garchump is the worst design in the series
And the cross-gen evos are like 50/50 great or dogshit downgrades
I'm glad Sandy Shocks exists
Oh yeah, and breastsmonkey is an awful starter design
The other two are fine, but I don't love Empoleon's apron and I think Torterra's design is a bit 'unbalanced' for lack of a better word
I have never heard anyone refer to the golden filigree on Infernape as breasts
Would you rather I mention the awful blue sausage fingers? Or the hole in its head where its brain should be?
still a trillion times better than everything that came after it
last classic gen. the last time pokemon felt like pokemon
How did Cherrim never become a fan favorite?
same reason oddish or bounsweet or any other generic round grass type with an emoji face didn't
Worst gen
Cope, gen 6 will always be the worst and most forgotten gen
vp really has terminal shittaste, jesus christ.
And the legendaries look like shitty digimon rejects they look so plastic lol reshiram and zekrom were better
true tbh sinnoh really had the most tryhard and alien legendaries in the franchise
First gen that at least one member from each evolutionary line wouldn't look out of place in a child's nursery. And I still like it.
Saying this despite Johto having a much worse overall dex is the most moronic Black folkhit I've seen all morning.
remove smoochum, tyrouge, and the alphabet and you're left with 0 terrible designs vs. gen 4's many terrible designs. I would argue that gen 2 has barely any great designs, but I'll take bland over bad any day.
