We are now reminded of how awful Gneration 6 was, and how its introduction of megas was the beginning of the downfall toward modern Pokemon in both design philosophy and development philosophy.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back to 9/10/2001 and warn the Pokemon community about Masuda's legacy.

still being mad about the LAST OF THE GOOD.
let me guess you enjoyed alpha sapphire and shitty ruby cashgrab slop tho

>>58030957
>gen 6
>good

>>58030948 (OP)
Gen 5's poorly conceived execution and the ensuing outcry caused the handling of Gen 6, so it's rightfully Gen 5's fault

>>58030957
Gen 4 was the last of the good. Gen 5 had shit tier designs all over, and the region design was made for actual toddlers.

>>58030974
>still hating unova
i understand you have autism and must double-down
but lets try to be objective here sweety
>>58030959
it was worse than everything before it
however, this continued to happen until today
so yes, by comparison, it is "the last of the good"

the only playable switch game is legends arceus and thats because the faggots at gamefreak were not allowed to "help"

>>58030984
>but lets try to be objective here sweety
Unova is where they stopped caring about world building and decided to just do whatever.

>>58030984

So you are ok with spending 2 hours leveling up your pokemon when Gen 6 onward you can level up your team all at once? You mean to tell me you want the hard way back just for shitty 8 bit music and 2D graphics?

Yes
>>58031004

Yes

Sounds like you just don't like videogames, anon.

>kalos isn't a world bc...reasons..bc it just ISNT OK?!?!?

>>58030948 (OP)
Reminder that over a quarter of the dex is tied to this shitty gimmick

>>58031015
Every from gen 5 on felt completely disconnected from everything that came before and everything after. All isolated corners of the same "world".

I thought eventually we'd get some sort of explanation or timeline or anything, but GF stopped caring after Gen 4.

The Sinjoh ruins, with the connection between the creation trio, Arceus, Unown, and Ruins of Alph was the last time the Pokemon world felt connected.

>>58031012
No anons on here dont realize that the new games provide convenience. Why do think there are now pokemon stations in the wild now? So you dont have to traverse through two fucking towns to heal up your Pokemon.

>>58031032
Next you're going to want the game to heal your pokemon automatically to get rid of the clutter of potions. Gen 10 new feature btw

Genwar thread, stay mad. Gen 6 is the only Gen where I have both versions. And no, I didn't buy both; I bought Y and traded a friend Ultra Sun for X years ago.

>>58031959
Sorry, regular Sun. I never played USUM.

>>58031948
>How many times do we need to go through this?
Forever sadly

Anyhow it's way too early to judge Switch 2
I respect your opinion, but for me it was the 3DS era site training. DS Era backwards compatibility was kino though.

i get you're just baiting the discord retards but megas were actually a good thing overall, not perfect sure (wish gen 6 mons had some at the time, so many good designs in there) but what new gameplay mechanic is? the special stat split and the physical/special split were good too but both also fucked over some mons. you should instead go back to 2015 and bomb level -5 because yokai watch was what made them drop the mechanic for new lame gimmicks every generation

>Megas are back after years of people asking for them
>Mega Dragonite is a qt instead of being an edgelord
>This is somehow bad for Masuda's legacy
This place is full tilt contrarian.
I wonder how it will look when the final game turns out to be fun.

>>58032219
Stupid as fuck design

>>58032219
The last time people reacted well to new designs was when johto came out. now people hate most of those and warmed up to the ones from later.

mega evolutions were a mistake

i genuinely don't know why pokemanchildren froth at their mouths over mega evolutions

>>58032770
mega steelix is a fucking abomination, fuck megas

>>58032770
I'd say about 1/4 are good or at least not horrible, which sounds bad until you consider its about the same odds as new regular mons.

>>58031024
That's what happens when we complain about not being able to catch the old mons in gen 5.

>>58032091
>i get you're just baiting the discord retards but megas were actually a good thing overall
Megas were the beginning of the end.

Blame people shitted gen 5 because my Kanto mememon is not there

I'm so glad the vocal minority of seethers is out. Gen 6 was a great turnaround after Gen 5.
Megas are good too.

Agreed. Everything was perfect in Gen 6.

saaaar the oppsoite saaaar

>>58030948 (OP)
nothing is worse than Gen 7. The worst fucking Gen ever, slog-a-thon garbage that started Ohmori’s obsession with family drama and third legends being the source of the regional gimmick

>>58031003
You're right, it's the last game where they actually tried

>>58035205
but enough about chadnova.
see think kalostroon bellow me

>>58033584
Gen 6 was unfortunately worse than 5. At first glance it looks better, then you actually play it.

>>58035172
You're right, Gen 5 is always rent free in their heads

Borts and fags arguing about two of the worst gens in the franchise is odd.

>>58035225
no chink namefag I said "superior generations", pay attention

>>58030957
Gen 7 was objectively the last good one.

>>58035355
In what way

>>58035237
And Gen 5 is a superior gen.

>>58035355
>objectively

>>58035531
That explains why it is always in my head, rent free

>>58030957
*First of the good.
Gen 6 banished early-installment weirdness forever and brought the Pokemon Renaissance, saving the franchise after Gen 5 nearly killed it.

>>58035715
>gen 6 banished early-installment weirdness by not actually establishing the region entirely, something a third unstallment typically does

Yes this is why gen 6 sucks. Skipping Pokemon Z was stupid, however that doesn't excuse the introduction of gimmick forms and the faggot type.

>>58036032
Gen 6 was so good it didn't need a third game.

>>58036038
Someone actually designed this and approved it.

>>58036051
And?

>>58036052
Ill let you figure it out.

>>58030948 (OP)
wow

>>58036038
If any first versions needed a sequel/enhanced, it was XY. So much incomplete lore, so many locations with little to no purposes. So many things that another game would've fixed.

>>58037030
You not paying attention to the game doesn’t mean there was incomplete lore and locations without purpose.

>>58037038
XY had no lore outside of shoving Mega Lucario and the Mega CHARIZARDs up your ass. And no locations of note outside of the Mewtwo cave

>>58037046
You not paying attention to the game doesn’t mean there was incomplete lore and locations without purpose.

>>58030948 (OP)
Quite the opposite, Gen 6 is one of few generations that bring genuine excitement to players hence the amount of engagement Z-A is receiving just from a few minutes of trailer. If you see certain other generations, all their discussion keep cycling around their differences with Gen 6 which is a statement of how powerful it truly is.

>>58037063
False. Everytime there's a new game relating to an old region, there's always discussion about it. Also Gen 6 is rarely compared to. If anything 1, 2 and 5 are way more talked about in that sense. I recommend spending more time off 4chan.

gen 6 and its consequences
>more balanced type chart
>trainer customization becoming standard
>pokemon having more than 1 animation
>diagonal movement
>more pokemon interactivity becoming standard

gen 5 and its consequences
>pandering to toddlers who get lost and need constant tutorials and handholding becoming standard
>cutting BF becoming standard
>cutting secret bases becoming standard
>cutting contests becoming standard

>>58037079
gen 6 and its consequences
>making the battles piss easy mashfests
>simplifying most routes and significantly cutting down on overall exploration
>animations mostly being bland and emotionless.
>games having little side content and lackluster stories
>significantly increasing the amount of pandering to previous generations

gen 5 and its consequences
>multiple forms of QoL improvements that should've come sooner.
>filling the game with hours of fun content
>significant improvements with storytelling and world building
>reducing mandatory HM usage to a single use of cut.
