>people are already trying to pretend Gen 7 was anything other than total slop
>>58950106I mean, if it could happen with gen 5…
>>58950106I hate life and wish I was never born. Hopefully somebody kills me, I'm too much of a bitch to do it myself.
>>58950106>they only like it cause the grew up with it>I like the game I grew up with because it's actually peakThread over
>>58950106>Are we please entering the era
>>58950119Gen 5 was the last pokemon generation that was unabashedly good and everyone who isn't a retarded Genwunner agrees with that sentiment. Every gen afterwards comes with asterisks tacked on.>>58950127I grew up with gens 3-5 but PLZA is my 2nd favorite game in the series.
The consequences of gens 8 and 9 being humiliation rituals.
>BRO GEN 7 WAS SO PEAK BWO>why?>um uh uhh KANTOOOOOO and SEXY CHILDRENlol
>>58950106Anything after Gen 4 is nu-gen shit for subhumans
>>58950135>>>um uh uhh KANTOOOOOO and SEXY CHILDREN
>>58950106You're late, people have moved on from alola and are now saying galar was peak.
>>58950106Gen 7 was 2 steps forward, 2 steps back. It has multiple glaring problems, mostly the amount of cutscenes, flaccid postgame due to the retarded removal of the vs seeker amongst other things and extremely linear geography but it did do way more right at once than any other generation ever. Play a gen 5/6 game then play USUM and you’ll notice the enormous amount of details, features and QOL improvements across the board. It does also look good, at least for a 3ds game. To me it’s one of those things that consistently ranks in people’s top 3’s but it’s never anyone’s no. 1. It’s a fantastic mainline game locked in a below average “region” at a time when the now dead yokai watch was stealing game TPCI’s lunch, and they were desperate to compensate. Plus it had like a dozen of the most erotic girls the franchise has ever seen.
SM introduced no longer having the Withdraw/Deposit options clog up the fucking PC after they'd been there since day one when they stopped being necessary when Gen III introduced the Move option and ORAS made it so you could have Move be the default option. That's the QOL feature Masuda should've had since day fucking one and it was never there. That's when I gave up on Pokemon because I felt like I was being treated like a goddamn idiot when they waited 20 years to standardize a feature that should have been in the older gamesIt's no fucking wonder Ohmori's games sell better than Masuda's
>>58950158no one puts these games top 3 let alone top 5 nigga be fr
>>58950106The Zelda cycle is real
>>58950106>Dude is that KANTO holy fucking PEAKThat aside I do think it's the peak....of the 3d era, that is.
>>58950177It’s the last 3d game to not be a technical abortion with a gutted dex, that alone makes it the most appealing game to a lot of people. Most of the people I know IRL who play the games all say USUM (specifically USUM mind) was the best and most feature-complete the mainline games ever got so i’m just saying it how I see it. None of them have it as a favourite but everyone likes it from what I’ve experienced.
>>58950106gen 7 was good.
sucks cause it has a lot going for it only to be ruined by bad map and hand-holding tutorial that makes up 50% of the story.>great setting>great character designs>descent enough base story>trials as an idea are ok>good mon designs>better amie and ev/iv training mechanics i'd kill for a demake
>>58950106It’s still the best 3D gen so makes sense
>>58950133>Gen 5 was [LIE]Good job proving >>58950119 right lmao
>>58950361The only thing anyone can criticize gen 5 for is black and white locking the all nat dex pokemon to the post game aka its the only game that actually took a creative risk
>>58950370>The only thing anyone can criticize gen 5 for is black and white locking the all nat dex pokemon to the post gameand all the features from HGSS getting lazily cutand the complete lack of explorationand the obnoxious handholdingand the region having fewer routes than fucking Kalosand the poorly written storyand the bad looking poorly animated sprites
>>58950106Gen 7 were the last Pokemon games that were at least 5/10Low bar that that is

>>58950379> and all the features from HGSS getting lazily cutWeren’t HGSS and BW developed at the same time? >and the poorly written storyThat’s every Pokémon game, Pokemon stories only exist for Ohmori to goon to little kids in Alolepstein island.
>>58950133Gen 2 was the last generation that was unabashedly good. After that Pokemania was good and over and everything after that was just performative shitters refusing to grow up.
Generation 7 had a much larger plan for Rainbow Rocket even in the base Sun and Moon. There was a mix of characters returning after some time (the aged ones) or having fallen through the portal with their respective bad guys (Cynthia, Wally) but in the end they just became cameos in the Battle Tower.
>>58950135>BRO GEN 7 WAS SO PEAK BWO>why?>KANTO and SEXY CHILDREN>Based???
>>58950200>It’s the last 3d game to not be a technical abortionIt ran like ass though. Not as bad as SV but definitely worse than SWSH
>>58950137>Lucario shilling ritual for two years leading up to releaseGen 4 was nugen dogshit from the start.
>>58950433Gen 2 is what killed Pokemania. It was too similar to gen 1 and was worse to play with a tedious level curve, good mons inaccessible while you're stuck with shitmons until the postgame, and too many mons required insane catch conditions like headbutting trees, bug contests on Tuesday, swarms, special events and specific times of day that nobody would even think of doing. There were so many versions of Pokemon by then that it became a joke with most people, Red? Yellow? Crystal? Gold? Diamond? Zirconia? It's all the same game anyway why bother buying it more than once? That's why Pokemania died. Gen 2 wasn't well thought out in the slightest.
>>58951290This but Gen 3
>>58950106I always liked gen 7 and played a lot of it when it was current. While 2d just flat out works much better for Pokemon than 3d does, Alola does a pretty great job at recreating the feeling of exploration that previous games had. It's the last mainline title that made an attempt at that old formula before Game Freak just said "fuck it" and copy-pasted BOTW two times in a row. The Pokemon variety throughout the campaign is great too, and USUM are easily the most difficult games ever put out by Game Freak.That dialogue in the early-game always makes me think twice about replaying it though, holy fuck. Gen 7 is mostly good, but it does deserve a lot of the complaints directed at it. At any rate they're at least much better games than XY
as long as gen 6 avoids the revisionism i can accept any and alleven unovafags acting like the designs weren't widely perceived as abhorrent abominations doesn't faze me
>>58950106dear lord, these people are insufferable. they'll slurp shit straight from the anus if masuda told them to
>>58951327This is a good summary. >recreating that feeling of explorationAlola had a LOT going for it in terms of design. It was based on Hawaii, but rather than just making a few tropical islands, they fleshed out entire ecosystems that didn't feel too out of place. Going to a new place was genuinely exciting.>Pokemon varietySun and Moon made me use a lot of Pokemon I probably would have never actually used normally. It made me stop going through my usual starter and HM slave team and actually try using the new Pokemon I found, and I found myself constantly changing my team as I progressed. I can't remember the last time I did that prior to SM.>The dialogueWhile I agree that it wasn't exactly the best, it still helped flesh out characters to the point that you could say you knew them. From arriving in Alola to getting your first pokemon,you already know a good deal about several characters. By the time you do your first major rival battle, Hau is already your friend. By the time you leave the first island, you are already well acquainted with Lillie and Kukui as if they were always in your life. The campiness of the dialogue was just part of its charm, honestly. USUM improved it a lot, but the original had its charms.
>>58950106I mean I like gen 7, story while they could have told it better was the first time I felt somewhat invested in, Plus it gave me my favorite pokemon <3
>>58951348>Deltaturd Yea no
>>58950133>PLZA is my 2nd favoritevery damn literally kys
>>58951345I think what kills me is that SM did a LOT of shit I wished earlier games did like finally remove HMs and fix the PC box to get rid of those unnecessary options. All this for the first game without a NatDex. I knew the franchise was fucked going forward after it, but I still enjoyed the games and treated them as really the last worthwhile games Pokemon would ever put outCompletely correct, I'm genuinely happy I never bought a new game
never played the in game. gen 7 had the best OU tier in competitive pokemon
Pokémon was never good.>DUDE, IT'S LIKE GACHAPON, BUT IN REVERSE
>>58951290Gen 2 has one of the weakest batches of new Pokemon in the series.
>>58950106>muh KANTOOOOOOOOOOO CALLBACKS!!!! IT'S LE PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKantofags are a disease
i liked gen 7
>>58951422even without the NatDex they still made non-Alolan pokemon actually obtainable instead of just entirely removing them
>>58951348>Mareanie instead of Mimikyu
>>58950106Gen 7 is probably the worst generation they’ve made desu, like how do you release gen 5 again but double down on all of its worst aspcts
>>58951903That's the cope, "at least you could-"But I knew it was coming the moment they didn't have it. Cutting the mechanic was to wean the fanbase. Then Masuda pulls LGPE out of his ass to keep people used to "not having all the Pokemon" so SwSh could shit its whole ass all over the fanbase. By that point all of the issues of the 3DS era had finally exploded and fully fractured the fanbase going forward. Now it'll NEVER be fixed
