Why were they unobtainable in Gen 5 without trading?

not 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
>>
>>58878694
obamasnow 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.

pikachu was always treated like that outside of kanto tho

>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 region

Why did Masuda completely fucking nuke the worldbuilding he put in his games?

>>58878717
our identity is having only gen 5 mons in the first game

>in Pokemon
that stop being a thing when literal gods got introduced in gen 3
>>
>>58878694
I respect whoever had the balls big enough to cut Pikachu
>>
>>58878735
The 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 aspect

Unova 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 did
lol
>>
>>58878694
Didn't this happen in gen 4 too?

how did we go from that to this?
>>
>>58878731
Correct.
>>58878694
Despite 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

Gen 6, which sole identity was "kanto pandering".
