These games were full of wasted potential

Why?

not him but dream world shutting down a year after b2w2 release and that fucking paid app. granted it’s worse now but still

>game presents moral dilemma about pokemon being caught and used against their will but does nothing with it just to do another generic “evil team just wants to use legendary to control the region” plot exactly like the previous 2 gens
>first mid-gen sequel but lazily doesn’t introduce any new pokemon to maintain the “unova focuses on new pokemon” theme and instead just shoves old popular pokemon in your face
>sequel gives up trying to be a sequel after the first two gyms and nearly the entire rest of the game is reused maps
>no original dragon
>features locked behind weird online and multiplayer gimmicks instead of simply being in the game
>triple and rotation battles introduced yet barely used in singleplayer

gen 5 is ok but it could have been so much better
>>
>>58872690
i agree, i used to like the story but nowadays i only like N, it's like they made a good character but they were too scared to actually make the story more complex than good vs evil
>>
>>58872690
also
>introducing difficulty modes but making them work in the most broken nonsensical way ever
It’s like they didn’t even bother playtesting it

>everything evolves at retarded levels
my biggest gripe with unova and the reason i never really replay bw
at leat b2w2 lets me use old mons with reasonable evolution levels
>>
>>58872931
>leat
*least
ebin spelling mistake
>>
>>58872690
I always assumed moral dilemma was a false flag and the focus was supposed to be on N’s view of the world and the two factions in Plasma. Because surely the moral dilemma was seen as retarded as soon as you saw Plasma kicking the Munna and Ghetsis’ extremely obvious slip up in Castelia.

i agree, but i think that's partly why i remember it so fondly as opposed to gen 4. there is so much potential, that it occupied my mind as a child even when i wasn't playing it. i'd just imagine so many ways the story could go or how the region could be more fleshed out and it'd make me grow fonder of the games. the games are a bit better than most of the others, so that does help, but the imperfections aren't completely negative.

>>58872972
people will see that and think it's a problem with the game's writing instead of being the entire point
>>
>>58872996
>the point was that the story was boring slop instead of something interesting and novel!!
we know

I remember when gen 5 came out and the biggest "controversy" this franchise had was that the region was a circle.

i want to marry victini but also i want to save him from these games i wish he wasnt a pokemon i wish he was like from a platformer or something but mostly i wish he was real he doesnt look much like a pokemon anyway so itll be fine
