Why were they unobtainable in Gen 5 without trading?
>>58878694not having Pikachu available without cross gen trading despite referencing them across the games was almost as stupid as a decision as making both Zorua and Zoroark event only
>>58878694obamasnow was an obligatory addition because despite all unova ice type relying on hail to be viable GF forgot to give a single one of them snow warning.
>>58878703pikachu was always treated like that outside of kanto tho
>>58878694Unovasisters…what about our identity…
>>58878714>Pikachu had to be imported in previous games to be completely available>Unova is the first region to outright not have it>Now every fucking game has to have Pikachu available in the natural ecosystem of the regionWhy did Masuda completely fucking nuke the worldbuilding he put in his games?
>>58878717our identity is having only gen 5 mons in the first game
>>58878694>forgetting dream world
>>58878729>world building>in Pokemon that stop being a thing when literal gods got introduced in gen 3
>>58878694I respect whoever had the balls big enough to cut Pikachu
>>58878735The Super Ancient Pokemon are questionably Gods, it's more literal when the myth arc was introduced in Gen IV which was trying to retroactively tie together Hoenn with Kanto/Johto's worldbuilding. There was a lot of effort put into that aspectUnova got less effort put into its lore but was more trying to be an independent project which is why it was the first not Japan-based game. The moment Kalos happens though, it's just completely throttled and it got even worse with ORAS
>they skipped making a unova remake because they would have to dexcut pikachu if they didlol
>>58878694Didn't this happen in gen 4 too?
>>58878694how did we go from that to this?
>>58878731Correct.>>58878694Despite how much I despised the non-Unovan Pokémon swarming the place in BW2, even I thought it was dumb how they didn't bother to add any member of the Pikachu family in the wild. Even in BW when they started throwing in non-natives in the wild in the post-game, they forgot their mascot
>>58878838Gen 6, which sole identity was "kanto pandering".
