theyre not mediocre theyre fucking dogshit aside from guzma
>>replaced megas with shitty z-moves
megas were still in the game. both megas and z moves suck though
>>introduced regional forms which degrade the originals
regional forms are great; their only problem is being hard to implement in subsequent regions
>>awful ugly ultrabeasts
ultrabeasts are about 50/50 good/shit

yeah the tapus are ugly
>>absolute dogshit stevenuniverse-esque artstyle for the anime
i dont give a shit about the anime
>>more KANTO shilling with let's go
lets go was fun, ironically what holds it back most is how shit kanto as a region is

Regional forms only exit to replace Pokémon that game freak didn’t consider worthy of getting megas

I guess?

didn't use them at all in my playthrough. Also anyone else have hau randomly nuke your mon with whatever z-sparkling aria is in aether paradise while he was on YOUR side in a double battle? that was hilarious
>>introduced regional forms which degrade the originals
regional forms are perfectly fine, gf even makes an autistic point out of keeping the originals in the games with regional forms for some reason
>>awful ugly ultrabeasts
ultrabeasts were great actually. A handful of stinkers but the majority were awesome. Just wish they were normal mons instead of legendaries.
>>terrible legendaries (tapu bullshit)
Yeah

No.
Gen 8 or 9, 6 is also kinda shit.

The others kinda sucked, but Suprimachad is the goat.
He was too FABULOUS for insecure faggots though.

Let's be real, on an objective level the worst gen is gen 1. We might not want to admit it but it's factual.

its problem is how gigantic it is. it has some great mons but it really shows that they decided from the get go they wanted to have 151 slots to fill, despite clearly not having inspiration for 151 cool designs. the result is shit like zubat 2
>>
Better than Galar however
>>
>>59063168
nta but I think Woobat is fine, it's Swoobat that's the real problem. I have no idea what they were thinking with that prolapsed anus it flutters about trailing.
>>
>>59063092
Not the worst but this is when I quit buying pokemon games and stuck to romhacks/fangames.
>>
>>59063092
The recent Kalos defense force has convinced me the cycle is real and that Alola nostalgia is going to peak in a few years.
>>
>>59063092
alola was comfy im sorry anon, we dont hate chadlola around here
>>
>>59063092
Best region, best story, best characters, great new Pokemon. Go cry about it.

>>59063092
It was the last gen I genuinely had a lot of fun playing from the beginning. It was fucking weird and there was a lot that bothered me but I had a great time. I guess it says something that I’ve never gone back to it for a replay, though.
I’m not determined to hate the new games or anything. I’ve just disappointed myself by getting hype over things I ended up not liking a few times in a row. The new games look promising but that’s exactly what I was saying every other gen and game after 7. This time I’m just not going to preorder. I’m hopeful but ready to just move on if reviews and gameplay come through and I think they’re disappointing. I guess that’s how gaming should be anyway, not giving money to people who haven’t given you a product yet.

A Mega completely replace the original because it evolves from it. Why would you use Charizard when you can have Charizard X or Charizard Y? The only time it doesn't replace the original is if you want to use multiple Pokemon with a mega in the same team and you can only use one mega per team, but that's a relatively small occurrence - otherwise, it's obvious you should always Mega your Chariard, so the original Charizard gets replaced by his Megas.
With regional forms, the original still exists as its own prime existence, the regional form is just an alternative. Raichu still has his use despite the existence of Alolan Raichu, they both have their pros and cons,
>>
I know OP is baiting but Alola truly has the one best dexes in the series, that's the only saving grace of that terrible generation

>>59063092
>>mediocre human characters
Human characters were this game's strongest point, I'd argue it had the best in the series
>>
>>59063427
Mega = same pokemon
Regional form = different pokemon

A Mega enhances the original pokemon, while a regional form undermines the original's identity by arbitrarily detaching it from its typing and transforming it into something different.
>>
>>59063383
kalos has always had defenders, as did alola. There's no cycle, you're just noticing it when people say it.
>>
>>59063168
>zubat 2
Pretty sure the G5 'mons are meant to be paralels to the G1 'mons. That said, it's no excuse for shitty designs. If anything, thst should've made the designs better than they were.

This must be quite outdated, bw is my favorite and I'm 29.

>>59063383
The "Kalos defense force" is one hyper-autistic schizo who doesn't even love Kalos as much as he hates Sinnoh and Unova, and there has never been a cycle. Even Zelda, the series that originally forced this meme, never truly had a cycle.

>worst starters
Eh, I could see it but I don't agree
>worst dex of new Pokemon
It's in the bottom 3 for sure
>Boring setting
Made Hawaii dull somehow and frankly I'm tempted to say it's less enjoyable to explore than fucking Galar which should be impossible
>mediocre human characters
Understatement to be honest
>Z-moves suck
Yes, but also Megas should've been removed. The problem is they keep trying to replace Megas because they have no faith plain Pokemon gameplay will be enough these days
>regional forms degrade the originals
Agreed, even if you come up with a 10/10 regional design like Alolan Ninetales you're putting the fans of og Ninetales in an awkward position and the new form risks replacing the original outright. Megas do this too though. MegaPidgeot is 10/10 but this puts Pidgeot in an awkward position where you'd almost want it removed so MegaPidgeot is the final evolution or otherwise Megas need to be a feature forever.
>ugly disgusting abomination Ultra Beasts
Hell yeah bro, finally someone else who understands how much of a blight these things (not Pokemon) are on the franchise. Irreparable damage was done by introducing these filthy creatures
>terrible legendaries
Love Gen 5 but the Tapus are almost just as bad as the Genies, they exist for gimmick field abilities and nothing more.
>anime looks bad
Yes, but as an adult I would never mention the show for 6 year olds however any child that started watching with Gen 6 animation is gonna get whiplash seeing Gen 7 animation and refuse to watch it which seems counterproductive
>more Kanto shilling
The Kanto Pokemon and characters are the most recognizable worldwide. Taking advantage of that is simply the smart thing to do. Trying to replace some of those designs is the questionable part.
Overall great post.
>>59063103
>Paldea has the worst starters
Interesting...
>unova has the worst dex
HAHAHAHA
2 bullet points and can't be consistent. You did not try.

Right for the wrong reasons.
>>
>worst gen
this is an annoying category to discuss because often great games are paired with awful ones. I think we should mostly complain about the region and the individual games tbqh. In which case alola is like mid-low, below the curve but not by a ton.
>>
>>59063168
this pokemon and it's evo are pretty fucking cool though. they look nothing like zubat, not even the same type. they just fill the role of zubat for bw and there's nothing wrong with that
>>
>>59066469
should of just been zubat instead, dumb need to reinvent the wheel instead of using what works already. ugly ass pig bats.
>>
>>59063092
It was the worst at the time, now it's average lol
Also the map is extremely small
>>
>>59066504
By that "logic", no new Pokémon should've even been made past the OG 151.
Zubat became stale in Rock Tunnel. Never mind when it was overused in later games.
