all of them but gen 5
this, because gen 5 didn't fail to deliver, gen 5 was amazing
Unova shouldn't even exist honestly
gen 5
>wow they're questioning the morality of pokemon battles this could be interesti- oh it's just another shitty kanto reskin but worse
Gen 7 and its invasive species
>Alolan forms are foreign species that have adapted to the region
>Ultra Beasts are foreign to the pokemon world and wreak havoc
>Aether foundation seeks to maintain balance, but is too much balance a bad thing?
>even predator/prey relationships like Corsola and Mareanie, native species, can cause imbalances
>Cosmog is from another world yet played a key role in establishing the region's mythology
Then you have SOS battles carrying some lore on symbiotic or predatory relations, which pokemon are more social, which species work together. SM make a great deal of relationships between people as its core theme, and it could have been so interesting if fleshed out a bit more. A lot of people meme on Lillie being Nihilego but as far as motifs go I wish we had gotten more parallels between UBs and the characters.
I think Sun and Moon's Totem Pokemon was a good attempt at making a "wild Pokemon boss battle", but it was still too constrained by the standard 1v1 battle system (or 1v2 when it calls for help). They expand on it a little with the Titan Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet, but now you're stuck with a shitty tag partner.
I'd like to see a more RPG-like boss battle where you can throw out 4 of your own Pokemon vs 1 boss-level Pokemon with multiple health bars and can use multiple moves a turn. Like a single-player version of a Tera Raid.
hey you pikachu and pokemon channel
why have they never done a "caring for a pokemon" game since just give it to a competent developer this time
SV by far
>open world concept was decent enough for a pokemon game but the actual objectives were lame (shitty mash autobattle minigame for star raids, easy to exploit totems and most gym trials being very lackluster)
>convergent evolution being a cool ass concept wasted on only having a few forms, one of which is another fricking diglett/dugtrio and another being the shitty teas
>paradox forms, mostly the future ones, being lazy barebones representations of the concept
>AZ and subsequently its story beats all condensed into one small area at the end of the game
>tera gimmick for gym battles being done in the worst way possible - AKA just a random old gen pokemon suddenly becomes the gym's type so you can sweep with super effective move even faster (Iono excluded)
>Koraidon and Miraidon being ride mons that can do it all and be with you for the whole journey fricked up by having shitty controls way worse than the PLA mounts)
>Bloodmon Ursaluna, a cool ass design and idea, locked behind being a DLC exclusive form of a game exclusive regional variant that also can't be female because frick you I guess
and to think the game isn't even finished yet
>Bloodmon Ursaluna can't be female
As if that's going to stop me to draw it with huge milk breasts and puffy coochie
>Iono excluded
You have an Axew with Mold Breaker or an Ogerpon, right?
>that also can't be female because frick you I guess
Was going to say SWSH, but is right
Kommo-o and Metagross are the most ancient and futuristic pseudo-legendaries, and they were cut from the main game for no fricking reason.
>waaaah Bloodmon Ursaluna can't be female
cry me a river, pokefricker
Kalos but I really wanted to say Alola, but it succeeded at being an island paradise, the paradise just kinda sucked.
Nothing in XY was globally unifying aside from the safari park thing.
Vivillon
Very true. The regional butterfree had an international gimmick.
A common theme in gens 4-7 is that, before playing them, I really thought their stories had a chance to be good.
Alola towns are too barebones for the implied culture they have
Gen5
its a reboot that failed
muttnova for sure
>heres these new pokemon, yeah they're all ugly as shit clones of gen 1 lol
>w-what you dont like them? uh......all the old pokemon escaped their cages and are now roaming every patch of grass and cave lol!
what a fricking pile of shit
>>w-what you dont like them? uh......all the old pokemon escaped their cages and are now roaming every patch of grass and cave lol!
kek...
>My anus is tingling, that means there are a lot of discordine posts here.
>also It is highly likely that this is a discordine thread
