Why those gen 4 make so many people seethe?

I get that Diamond and Pearl are a bit slow and not the best when it comes to Variety (which was fixed in Platinum) and the gen 4 remakes where dogshit but it isn't the worst gen, gen 2 has worst variety since most of the pokemon you encounter are gen 1 pokemon and the 3D games aside from gen 7 are worst than platinum.

I see it on this board all the time, so many people seen to hate gen 4.

I grew up with gen 4 and I will admit its not the best but its not the worst, I'm not blinded by nostalgia otherwise I wouldn't think gen 5 was the best and I didn't even play a gen 5 game until when I was already an adult which was back when gen 8 was the latest gen because gen 5 looked unappealing at first.

Is it that the gen 4 haters have only played Diamond and Pearl and have never played Platinum? If so then what if I decided that Ruby and Sapphire are shit but Emerald is amazing but I never played Emerald so I can just pretend it never existed and gen 3 was always shit which is not true and I love gen 3 more than gen 4.

      So in this route, you have access to boring shitmons that already show up in a dozen other routes in the game. That's quite shitty variety.

    No, gen 4 wasn't the worst by any means. At the time, they were fricking terrific. It's only revisiting them with our modern 80HD-addled brains that they don't hold up.

        They're honestly really low quality games. There's a lot of substance to them which I will give credit for and put it above generations like 5/6/7/8, but the things it offers are not actually fun to play. dungeons are the weakest they've ever been, gimmicks like honey trees and swarms are uninteractive and the game isn't challenging enough for an adult player to really be engaged in. The Frontier is nice because of all the additional Pokemon but the scope being lessened due to the reduction of facilities and new ones that I think are weaker concepts makes me not like it as much.

        Any reason you didn't suck off Wayward Cave for having darkness like you did for Rock Tunnel? Or at least mention how the area with Gible is secret and easy to miss?

        No, XY doesn't obnoxiously overuse HMs and spam the same Pokemon everywhere. It easily wins.

        >Better pokemon
        XY literally has a superset of Platinum's Pokemon.

        >Better characters
        The characters are literally the same just reskinned.

        Because in that case, playing Platinum would get you out of having to suffer through XY

        So I get to suffer through...an even worse even slower game instead?

          Platinum can be terrible and slow, at least it's a game with some interactivity. XY is a snore.

            clicking A in front of HM rocks and running from zubat is "interactivity"?

            Being a rehash is not a point in XY's favor.

            having a story as shitty as XY is not a point in Platinum's favor.

                so XY has interactivity by your definition. Good to know.

                >Platinum's is executed better.
                It really isn't. If anything it's executed worse because cyrus' goal is so moronicly vague and meaningless and the game has even less to support his motives.

      it's still hilarious to me that when someone asks how Platinum is bad you get a 2000 word essay with detailed examples and reasons why they're bad, meanwhile when you ask how XY is bad the best you get is "uhmmm uhh.....it's forgettable and some kanto pokemon showed up"

        What actually happens is that someone makes an anti-XY thread and then you burst in having a meltdown over Unova thinking it does XY a favor somehow. You don't even like Kalos.

    not a excuse, that just makes DP even worse in hindsight, people who were invested enough in the series to get the earliest Gen 4 games were punished a barren regional dex for no reason, and Platinum is only SLIGHLY better
    >and the gen 4 remakes where dogshit but it isn't the worst gen, gen 2 has worst variety since-
    wrong, Gen 2 had the decency to have nearly every existing pokemon at the time be obtainable with the sole exception being the Gen 1 starters, Gen 1 legends, and Gen 1 Fossils. Also the main reason why Gen 1 Pokemon were so common was became more Gen 1 Pokemon existed since due to shit 90's technology Gen 2 didn't have the privilege of adding more than 100 new pokemon that later gens had.
    Meanwhile DP only has 107 new Pokémon (some one which being event only mythicals) despite having none of the limits Gen 2 had, restricts itself to a regional dex of a measly 150 because KANTOOOO did it, and arbitrarily favors GeNWUn Pokemon in wild encounters despite there being plenty of non-GenWun Pokemon existing this time.

    The Platinum essay is one of the most embarrassing things to come out of this website btw. Every discussion eventually devolves to:
    >the author saying some pokemon being more common is bad for some reason, never mind the fact pokemon like geodude and machop are nowhere to be found in the generic Sinnoh team
    >the author screaming headcanon and fanfic with no elaboration at whatever you say about the story even if you use quotes directly from the game
    >the author going completely quiet if you criticize gen 3's Frontier, specifically the Palace
    >the author going completely quiet if you show how Platinum's systems are perfectly fine for teambuilding
    >the author going completely quiet if you show how the fanbase loves the battles in Platinum which is the same argument he uses for USUM's difficulty
    >the conversation being shifted to being about XY, because his entire playbook is saying XY and Platinum are similar and calling you a hypocrite for preferring Platinum
