There has never been a pokemon gen with a better diversity of new mons than 6

>>59046636
Too bad you don't get to use any of them because the game hands you kanto pokemon for free

If by diversity you mean the biggest gap between the good designs and bad designs sure
>>
>>59046636
Jesus this dex sucks
>>
>>59046698
Just don't use the kanto pokemon buddy
>>
>>59046636
Gen 2 is well known to offer a perfect balance between coolmons, shitmons and new forms to old ones. 100 new pokemon that actually fit well with the original 151 unlike newer gens.
>>
>>59046636
The best thing about XY is that it has many Pokemon to use, the new Pokemon alone are very weak.
>>
>>59046636
>diversity of new mons
Fun fact, Dragalge and Skrelp were the only new Poison types introduced.

No, gen5 has objectively the most diversity as
>A
has the most mons
>B
doesnt have the old idea of gen1 (the 2nd most populated gen) to make some types special like ghost and dragon

Its not even my favorite, its just facts.

yeah unova sucks because I was forced to have a shitty monkey on my team the whole game

no it isn't
>>
>>59046974
You mean the pokemon that fall off really hard, thus encouraging you to box them after gym 3 or so and replace them with stronger mons?
Those monkeys?

More than 80% of these new "pokemons" are overdesigned trash that will never see use or be loved by anyone. It is legit garbage. Sorry anon.

Fuck kalos

Define "diversity".

>>59047190
Anon, OP said NEW. Megas don't count, and most of them are locked to the post game.
>>
>>59047214
>Anon, OP said NEW. NEW thing doesn’t count
and you fags wonder why XY still sold and reviewed well

How can that be possible when XY detractors keep telling me that XY has no post game?

I played Y less than a year ago and I genuinely don't remember what it's function in the story was or how it was shoehorned in

Whats the logic behind pretending to not understand that handing the player a starter that has a mega stone, which automatically means it will be stronger than your regular starter incentivizes you to keep it? Setting this aside, the Kanto starter is one of the 5 pokemon its possible to mega evolve before the post-game, the others being Ampharos, Lucario,Aerodactyl and Abomasnow, further limiting your team composition.
If you want to interact with the generational gimmick but also not use a gift pokemon, your options are incredibly limited.

>Arguing with yawnfag
He's just going to say any flaws with the game are your fault for finding them annoying.
>>
>>59046998
Gen 3 designs were already affected by fan criticism like Sugimori explains there. First two gens were not.

Wrong

doesn't seem very diverse to me

I really hated this dex on launch, but thinking back, this shit is wall too wall excellent pokemon man.
>Exadrill like
>Zebstrika

>Scolipede line
>Whimsicott
>Krookidile line
>Scolipede line
>Reunculus line
Even one-offs like Sigilph, Druddigan, and rando late-dexers like Braviary and electross are just so fucking good
How do we get this sovl again man
>>
>>59047237
Yes, new forms of existing Pokemon. They're arguably less different than regional forms, as the dramatically different movepool makes the Pokemon play entirely differently.
>>59047243
Because it's genuinely just the Sage hunt from BW but with somehow less going on, that's impressive because the Sages are absolute nothing characters.
>>
>>59048158
It's like Gen 1 having one ghost, one dragon, and two grass/poison types added as filler at the last moment, but worse in ways that a game made almost 20 years later shouldn't have been. Especially after Gen 5 when they decided to think about designing Pokemon around a decent type balance.
>>

> Whats the logic behind pretending to not understand that handing the player a starter that has a mega stone, which automatically means it will be stronger than your regular starter incentivizes you to keep it?
You’ll use this argument and then immediately start screeching as soon as someone suggests all the older games are poorly designed because you can just trivialize them by sweeping everything with your starter instead of bothering to train anything else.

>>59048155
>new Megas of old gen shouldn't count
Why? Because it fucks up your narrative?

>>59048208
>Yes, new
Glad you agree.
>>
Mega pokemon don't even have dex entries in Gen 6 so even the games don't count them as new pokemon
>>
>>59048242
>You’ll use this argument and then immediately start screec-
Good deflection but that's irrelevant. Answer the question.
>>
>>59048258
Yes, every Pokemon game before gen 7 is shit because they don’t incentivize you to use anything other than your starter, agreed.
>>
>>59048267
Answer the question.
>>
>>59048268
I did. You’re just assblasted over the answer.
>>
>>59046636
I know this is bait but i think it's hilarious there's someone who believes this

>Because it's genuinely just the Sage hunt from BW
How can that be possible when XY detractors keep telling me that XY has no post game?
>>
>>59048242
>Glad you agree.
Sure, B2W2 added several new Pokemon, if you consider new Pokemon to be new designs and stats that play differently enough compared to other Pokemon (which adequately describes Megas and most forms I'd say). 6 new ones if you count ones usable by the player, 16 more unusable by the player (like the Totem Pokemon in SM). Glad we can agree that B2W2 added Pokemon, perhaps the most ever added in a third version (USUM is also up there).
>>
>>59048155
>>59046636
The difference in color just from seeing these two sheets is striking

Gen V has a depressing colour pallet
>>
>>59048282
Because almost nobody brings up the Sage hunt from BW because it's worthless content, like the Battle Institute or Musicals, which is why nobody respects XY's restaurants or PR videos because they're downgrades compared to that. If you find walking into a room that used to be empty to find one object exciting, I'm sorry about whatever happened to you but that doesn't excuse the person you've become.

>>"Yo, want a butterfree but worse?"
gr8 b8 m8 i r8 it 8/8
>>
>>59048272
You did not. "B-but the other games!" Isn't an answer. Megas are badly handled in XY, it is not an issue of "Box it", its an issue of the game's incessant pandering of Kanto pokemon gets in the way of the actual games.
>>
>>59048321
>You did not
Yes I did. I’m literally agreeing with you that gen 1-6 don’t incentivize you to use other Pokemon and instead just sweep with your starter. Why are you getting so assblasted at me agreeing with you?

>>59048293
Yes, glad we agree XY added more new Pokemon than BW2.
>>
>>59048369
Yeah, and we can agree that B2W2 added more Pokemon than Mega X and Mega Y.

i got no dawg in this but how did XY add more new pokemon than Gen 5?
>>

Didn't happen.
>>
>>59048583
It’s exactly what happened.
