Hoenn had such an amazing dex.
Facts
Dex quality:3 > 1 > 6 > 7 > 9 > 4 > 2 >>> 8 >>>>>> 5
>>59651016>Swampert>Dustox>Exploud>Nosepass>Plusie>Minun>Volbeat>Illumise>Swalot>Grumpig>Whiscash>Kecleon>Glalie>Walrein>Huntail>GorebyssKek no
>>59651016Completely agree. Hoenn's regional dex is stellar too, all mons up until the 2nd gym are brand new, then there are just 65 old mons, the majority of the dex being brand new. All gyms, E4 and evil team use new mons as their aces... Hoenn sets the standard for mon distribution (shame about Glacia and Phoebe though).
gen3 peak

>>59651016>Hoenn’s visual designspeak>Hoenn’s stat distributionsvomitSo many awesome designs wasted on shitmons that will never be useable in battle
>>596510315 had a lot of great Pokemon compared to 2 and 8. I’ll never understand the hate.
>>59651016>praising hoenn dex>posting gen 4 spritesget help
>>59651016Yeah, on Opposite Day!
if you're an old enough fuck then hoenn was the most jarring transition of pokemon design the company ever made. Seeing some of them for the first time too in the in-game sprite style was so alien, like looking at yugioh digimon and I still love them too

>>59651205It was intentional by design. They wanted to make the “coolest” dex possible as people found Johto childish.
>>59651060mons like Luvdisc are the exceptionand mons like Luvdisc existed in Kanto and Johto
>>59651205>if you're a braindamaged johtarddler then hoenn was the most jarring transition of pokemon design the company ever made
>>59651222it was a retvrn to tradition after losing their way chasing fisher price merch sales in their DMC2 era
>>59651016beautiful sprites tooI like Sinnoh mons like Dusknoir too as well
>>59651016
>>59651017ENTER
>>59651175Gen V is being compared to Gens I, III, and IV
>>59651051
>>59651511This poor Marshtomp slander.
>>59651016>Gallade, Probopass, Budew, Roserade, Dusknoir, Froslass, and Regigigas aren't even Hoennmons so they don't count and also all of them except Budew, Roserade, and Froslass are shit>All of the other ones except Torchic, Mudkip, Poochyena, Wurmple, Lotad, Ralts, Gardevoir, Mawile, Aron, Aggron, Plusule, Minum, Roselia, Gulpin, Numel, Torkoal, Trapinch, Flygon, Altaria, Zangoose, Seviper, Milotic, Shuppet, Absol, Snowrunt, Spheal, Luvdisk, Latias, and Latios are shitNah, OP is a faggot.
>>59651031>>59651175Gen 5 knocked it out of the park with its bug types. Best in the franchise, bar none. However, the bulk of the dex is either:>Chinese bootlegs of gen 1 mons (Sawk/throh, Roggenrolla line, Timburr line, Pidove line, and more)>Ugly dogshit (Cryagonal, Elegym, gothettelle line, Genies)Really though I think maybe 10% of all pokemon to ever exist are actually good designs, the rest are ugly shitmons.
>>59651217she has a really pretty room to be bred in
>>59652026>Gen 5 knocked it out of the park with its bug typesOther than Scolipede and Volcarona? I'm not too sure about that. The rest aren't that interesting either to me either. Then again I might be biased because I hate the bug types (and I hate bugs irl)
>>59651060>caring about stat's in a game that's piss easy
>>59651222>people found Johto childishMakes sense, honestly. Alot of Johto mons go for a very round, friendly look which just makes more of them lame and forgetable.
>>59652269Tried to summarize the average feel of each gen's pokemon.>Gen 1Radical animals, dude.>Gen 2Friendly lads>Gen 3Cool>Gen 4Gen 1 but edgy>Gen 5Gen 1 but "modern">Gen 6Elegant>Gen 7Bouncy and tropicalAnd then Gens 8 and 9 just kinda congeal for me. They kinda just feel like Gen 7 mons but with less spefic themeing
>>59652255Escavalier and Accelgor were unique concept for trade evos.
>59651500>59651503>59651511>59651522>59651528this guy hears anything slightly negative about hoenn and dumps his entire folder of genwar bait like a fucking sperg
>>59652026Roggenrolla line is better than its Kanto counterpart and Cryagonal and Elegyem look awesome too
>>59651016now wait just a second
>>59651016I don't like a lot of these designs despite this game being my first. Anything crossed out is what I don't like, anything circled is what I obviously do like. Sharpedo gets yellow because I don't like the base form but I do like the mega
>>59651016How the fuck could this hapoen?
>>59651199Opposite day is over.
>>59652285Gen 5 is "Gen 1 but edgy".There is nothing cute here but tons of good edgelord mons and they all have darker colors than other gens.Gen 9 is designed to be easy to model.
I think that each generation has a unique "style" I cannot put into words.Mostly boils down to shapes and colors, but eyes also changed.I like the styles of gen 3, 5 and 7.
>>596510312 should be higher, but otherwise decent ranking
>>59651175I agree 5 is better than 8 at least, but you have to be stupid to not understand why it gets so much flack. The 20% or so pokemon introduced in Unova that are actually good don’t make up for the fact that 80% of its dex is worthless trash.
>>59651016What I love about Hoenn's roster is that it hit the sweet spot between cute and cool. It was also the last time a pokedex had consistently cool monster designs, like Swampert, Shiftry, Slaking, Exploud, Aggron, Flygon, Seviper, Cradily, etc. Starting in Gen IV I feel like designs trended more towards edgy oc mons like Lucario or actual animals with a menial twist like Purugly.
>>596535722 has more shitmons(there’s a reason why so many got new evos in 4), only contrarians like baby pokemon, and is the only dex the devs are embarrassed with >>59651222
>>59653572/vp/ is the only place on the internet that thinks Gen 8 designs are bad.The everyone is someone's favorite crowd sure doesn't like designs that aren't from their childhood
Why'd you ruin it with the shitty Gen 4 cross-evos?
>>59653820> 2 has more shitmonsThis is a half-truth borderline on a complete lie. Gen 2 mons are only shitmon by nugen power creep standards. At the time they were introduced, they were just as viable as Gen 1 mons and even kept with mostly with Gen 3 mons during Gen 3. Only afterward did powercreep get so bad most Gen 2 mons fall of. Also Gen 2 doesn’t get constant nepobaby privilege like the ever coddled Gen1 mons do nor did they benefit as much from industry plant gimmick megas as Gen 3 did. >>babyish quote Sugimori doesn’t even like Pokemon, his opinion can be disregarded
>>59652346>All the ones crossed out + liking sharpedo's garbage mega Holy shit taste batman!!!!

>>59654466At least it's an interesting opinion
>>59654536Get fucked, Grenigger!
>>59651016Looking at this really makes you thinkGen 1,2,3 all are filled with a shit ton of shit mons. Gen 4 is the first gen where the majority is usable to goodAnd fuck gen 3 mons are fucking slow. People say Alola is slow but Hoenn also has a ton of slow mons
>>59651016it's good but kanto still beats it1 > 3 > 2 > 7 > 4 > 9 > 5 > 6 > 8
probably based on how many mons I liked total from each gen:6 > 1 > 4 > 3 + 5 > 7 > 8 >>>>> 9gen 9 is on the bottom because the only Pokemon I like from that entire dex is Sprigatito. I lost gallons to her porn. 6 is so high because I count megas to be gen 6... which they are, they came out in that generation. I also just like gen 6 mons in general. 3 and 5 share a spot because although I like a lot of gen 3 mons, I dislike their design philosophy. Gen 5 is filled with garbage designs but the hits it does have are really good (both of these gens also suffer the worst in 3D). I like gen 7's design philosophy a lot plus the regional forms, but there's fewer pokemon I like from the dex as a whole compared to others
>>59654533But enough about Empoleon
>>59654575only bad shiny here is Sceptile's and Absol's is borderline poor
Absolutely, I've played through RSE so many times, and I have yet to struggle on building a new team, there's just so many viable options that work well together.And the aesthetics *chefs kiss*I hope WaWi real is the second coming of Hoenn like some people say. I'm of course referring to designs and aesthetics.
