    @BlueOtakuDemon 2 года назад +229

    I'm partway through the video but I wanted to bring up that I recently did a playthrough with the Black 2 Hard Mode and that really made things more interesting too. Like, every single trainer always being 1~5 levels in or out of your range, and most important trainers having one extra Pokemon no matter the battle really spices things up. If they wanted to address people who think Pokemon has gotten too easy they should really do this again.
    The only issues with the original implementation are that it required you to finish the game once already and the other version needed to trade keys, but really if this was a menu option from the get-go it'd be great.

      Also actually were interesting to follow, an organisation whose leader is lying to them about his true intentions and created this cult following with actually threating commanders. Who later start to question whether Cyrus is going to far. And then when he goes into the distortion world the sadness from the commanders. All of that plus the fact that gen 3 was basically lets flood the world or create more land makes team galactic stand out as top 2. Think team plasma/ neo plasma is still the best team due to it bringing around serious morality questions about the games. But I just wish we had more influence in the story so it played more like a fallout game.

    You see, I’d agree with that hard, but in later Pokémon games (most notoriously Sword and Shield), keeping your Pokémon under-leveled is actually hard since the game constantly makes itself easier by forcing the EXP share and you can’t turn it off. In other games this can be done and yes, I tend to do it.
    The best way for me to play are just doing Nuzlockes.

    Fairy and Light can coexist as different types. Fairy is based around magic, specifically nature magic as opposed to arcane magic (Dragon). It's got nothing to do with the element of Light, which could easily be its own type. Frankly, it should've been a type given the Gen 7 Legendary Trio. Solgaleo would've been Light/Steel, Lunala Light/Ghost, and Necrozma Light/Dark, losing Dark to take one of the other Legendaries' types, and finally becoming Light/Dragon when it goes Ultra.

    Since I don’t like recording my voice for my own video I’m gonna make a list of my own unpopular opinions since you said I could do it in the comments
    -I like delphox quite a bit
    -I like lickilicky, it’s awesome
    -I like Kanto Raichu more than alola raichu, it’s also one of my favorite Pokémon now
    -I agree about Whitney’s Miltank but that’s mainly because of certain preparations (particularly if you use a herracross)
    -Zinnia is my favorite Hoenn character I love her a lot
    -I like Black and White 1 more than their sequels. They’re also in my top 2 favorite Pokémon games (idk if I like BW or HGSS more)
    -Hoenn is my least favorite region in terms of exploring it.
    -I agree about the not liking Pokémon for looking human is silly. Same with Pokémon that wear clothes. I love that sawk and throh have funny karate gi
    -similarly the “bipedal (fire) starter” debates are really pointless. Ok so Incineroar is a bipedal fursona looking Pokémon, does that make it an objectively bad design? It just feels so silly to put down a whole Pokémon just because you wish it were slightly different
    -I personally don’t feel too strongly about a lot of legendary Pokémon
    -Shauntal is my favorite character in the series. Idk why her specifically probably design and she has a Chandelure
    -However I love almost all mythical Pokémon, even the newer ones
    -speaking of newer mythicals, people get mad that they either don’t have enough lore or don’t have an event associated with them, and I agree I wish they were better utilized, i don’t think that makes the mythicals any less good, it’s just the way game freak that handles it is stupid (I love Zeraora, Diance, Hoopa etc)
    -I personally don’t care about postgame stuff too much in most pokemon games. That doesn’t mean I think game freak shouldn’t put more effort into the post game, I just personally play Pokémon games just to make a team and play through the main game
    -I don’t like how Black and White 1 has you use only Unova Pokémon in the main game. They’re some of my favorite games, but it sort of limits team building for me, because I don’t wanna end up using the same Pokémon in future playthroughs. I also don’t like how if you want to grind you basically need audino. I love that audino exists, but given how you get less exp if you’re overlevelled wild battling can be annoying. I don’t like to be super overlevelled and spend hours grinding but I like all my Pokémon to be at a certain level range
    that
    -I don’t like the critical health theme in the Unova games. I like the song itself, but it personally kills the mood of certain battles for me, mainly in battles that already have really intense music such as elite 4, N, or Ghetsis
    These next few are especially Pokémon fanbase related stuff so warning if you don’t wanna see
    - I don’t like it when Pokémon fans take a flaw of a particular region, game and/or generation and inflate its flaws as if that’s all the game has to offer. For sword and shield it makes sense, but people hate on ORAS for not being more like emerald, even though it added a lot of its own things and is just as valid as a way to experience Hoenn as any other game, or like how Sun and Moon are shitted on for interruptions and hand holding, even though it has a great story and awesome characters, as well as a unique region with (as always) awesome Pokémon.
    -I also don’t like it when people hate on popular Pokémon just because they’re popular (mainly Pikachu, Charizard, Lucario, Mewtwo, Greninja etc). Mainly referring to Charizard, but it’s fair if you like these Pokémon less or feel their over saturated, but I’m just sick of certain Pokémon getting bashed because they’re “overrated” or being included in spin-offs, or that multiple prevalent trainers use a certain Pokémon (Charizard having two megas is a bit much though)
    -similarly, I don’t think “Kanto pandering” is that much of an issue. It’s the first generation with some of the most recognizable Pokémon so obviously it’s gonna have some sort of prevalence. Kanto showing up a lot isn’t necessarily a bad thing either, because aside from Gen 1, we had two remakes which are centered in Kanto, and then the original gsc and hgss which have Kanto in the post game, and it does seem like a lot but it’s not like Kanto is ever just shoved in to have Kanto for no reason, the reason it existed in the johto games is because gold and silver was more of a sequel to red and blue. Alolan forms only being Kanto Pokemon was the only time I felt Kanto had an unfair amount of representation. I also don’t think every generation needs to be represented equally, although of course Gen 5 only having 1 mega is quite unfair
    -I think people are too obsessed with a certain generation being considered “the best”. Whenever I go on any Pokémon music video their will always be someone saying “this Gen had the best music” followed by a shit ton of replies claiming another Gen has better music. Certain generations may have done more noticeably good things than others, but the war about having a certain generation be THE BEST OBJECTIVELY kind of takes away what I like about each Pokémon game and what makes them a unique experience.
    -I feel like people are a liiitle too focused on animations and graphics. I do mean a little. Swsh deserved the backlash they got, however I don’t think people need to focus on animations for every game afterwards. Like for bdsp, obviously in February they didn’t look good, but now that they worked on the game more they look better than swsh. But there’s still a sizeable group of people that think they’re atrocious just because chibi. With legends Arceus it could use more polishing, but the game has so many more promising elements and looks really exciting, but people say it looks BAD or “like a ps3 game”(btw everytime I’ve heard someone make that comparison, it’s always for games that don’t even look bad like Metroid Dread or Legends Arceus. Nintendo was never known for great graphics especially now that the switch is really underpowered) or a few people complaining that Pokémon don’t have super detailed animations and interactions (which even if it doesn’t, we know certain Pokémon interact with you differently and that determines how you catch it, and also in the trailer buizel sleeping then waking up, which isn’t super major but it’s a good sign of what’s to come), I don’t think graphics and animation should be the ONLY thing these games are judged on
    -I think certain Pokémon fans are way too negative. Lots of times whenever me or someone else says something like “what if a future Pokémon game has *insert certain feature or thing* or what if Pokémon does generations/origins/other cool animation again”, someone gets all pissy and says “that’s not gonna happen knowing game freak” or “you don’t know that’s gonna happen”. Not liking modern Pokémon is one thing but don’t be an ass and ruin the fun for others
    That’s all I have for now, I might add more later, also twewy is great

    There’s one thing I really disagree with, and that’s the point on legendaries. In fact I think high level trainers like the elite four should use them more often. It feels so underwhelming pulling up to the best trainers in the region with your stacked team only for them to throw out a Mightyena. Not only that, but there are many normal Pokémon that are much scarier than legendaries, like pre-nerf Aeigeslash, or a properly built Dracovish. There are also a bunch of weak legendaries and mythicals, like Diancie (non mega) or Silvally, Pokemon that’ll get stomped by your average pseudo legendary. And none of it matters if you don’t use them right

    I think that Whitney's team is scarier in theory than it is in practice. With the worst-case scenarios that get you to Miltank, your Pokémon will be hurt bad by Clefairy spamming metronome for good moves and double slap. Then Miltank will be able to flinch you with stomp, infatuate you with attract, rack damage with roll out, and heal itself with milk drink. The flinch is only a 30% chance, and that's if your Pokémon are slower. Roll out does high damage but is very committal so you can bring in something that takes not very effective damage. And attract works on only male Pokémon for the Miltank. Now I'd still be hard if the gym wasn't after a route with an easy to find Pokémon that you can trade for a machop who's female. And if you want to refer to gen 2 only, Ghastly can cheese the crap out of her, especially if it's female. Scrappy was put on it in the remakes specifically so that people don't just cheese the Miltank with a Ghastly.

    I think overleveling your mons can be the most fun part of the game, as well as the most time consuming. There's still story left so you're not done with the game, and it allows for a lot of exploration. Maybe you get side-tracked and wanna complete the dex. Or just get really into the leveling.

    These were the first Pokémon games I played for a long time and I loved it. Seeing all the new features like Overworld Pokémon, Pokémon Camp, the wild area, and Dynamax were awesome. The Pokémon in the overworld added so much life to the world. Pokémon Camp allows me to interact with all my Pokémon at once and allows the Pokémon in my party interact with each other. Also, the curry dex was just a fun thing to knock out, and it is nice to see the recipes of ones that I already made unlike in Breath of the Wild. The Wild Area looks a little underwhelming, but it was fun to be able to make a beeline to your destination, or stay, do some max raids, fight strong Pokémon, and hunt for items. I like Mega evolution more than Dynamax, but it is nice that they sort of mixed Megas and Z moves into one feature. It is also cool that every Pokémon can Dynamax. Gigantamax leans more towards the Mega side of the spectrum for obvious reasons. In addition to that, the new Pokémon are pretty cool. I really like Sobble, Yamper, Grimmsnarl, Centiskorch, and Zacian. Also, the characters are some of my favorite Pokémon characters of all time. Marnie, Milo, Hop, Oleana, Leon, Nessa, and Kabu are all awesome! I love these games, but they do have some faults. The graphics are pretty mediocre and some of the animations are lacking. However, I had too much fun with these games to really care since I really enjoyed my time with the games! I do respect your opinion though.

    Here's my unpopular opinion: We don't need any more Eeveelutions. There's already eight of them. And tbh, the more they make, the more... overdesigned they look, of that makes sense? I'm gonna get in so much trouble for saying this, but I think Sylveon stands out from the other Eeveelutions way too much. Like look at any picture there is of all of them; Sylveon looks bigger, has more stuff on its body, and... Idk it just doesn't fit with the others. Like the further away we get from gen one the stranger they look. Espeon and Umbreon fit in fine with the original trio because gens one and two were made so close to each other. Glaceon and Leafeon, especially Leafeon, from gen four look a little out of place but you get used to them. But I still haven't gotten used to Sylveon.
    But yeah making Sylveon fans hate me aside, we already have overkill on the amount of Eeveelutions. We don't need a dragon type Eevee, or a steel type or a flying type. That only one of those I can even picture looking good as an Eeveelution design is maaaaybe the dragon type, but that would probably look as overdesigned as Sylveon if not worse. Like... We have enough. I already have a hard time choosing which one is my favorite on a regular basis as is.

    Second, I agree that Ash shouldn't have won the Alola league. The thing is, in Alola when Ash won it was like, "Alright he won." Meanwhile, if he had won in Kalos, it would have been a lot cooler, because during his Kalos journey he was a model for many characters like Serena, Clemont, Sawyer, and even Alan to an extend, and he also learned things throughout his journey. Like you really feel that Ash reached his peak, not only in term of battle capabilities, but in everything in general, while in Alola, he just did things.

Like he wasn't strong only because of Ash Greninja, but because his strategies were refined to the max. Second, while your comment explains why Ash is at his best in terms of combat in Alola, you didn't explained me if Ash was at his peak emotionally, which is kind of important to me in order to make me want to see Ash win. My whole comment explained that in Kalos, Ash wasn't only great in battling, but that he was a great model for the people around him.

    I'd definitely say playing underleveled is worth a shot. You won't lose much from it
    UNLESS you're playing a nuzlocke, the stakes are much higher. Losing a battle means your run is over (or you lose your entire team from that fight, depending on how you like to handle blacking out. Still a heavy loss if that's the case) making sure you're leveled good and prepared is key to success

    I actually wish that Pokemon PvE was all double battles like colosseum. Much easier to set up dangerous strategies for the AI to use and much harder for the player to cheese.
    For instance, they could have a boss fight with an Eviolite Magic Guard Clefairy that knows Follow Me and a Skill Link Cloyster that knows Shell Smash, Icicle Spear, Rock Blast, and Surf. It could be even nastier if it held a Kings Rock.

  • @rayplaysgamesrpg7233
    @rayplaysgamesrpg7233 2 года назад +3

    Welp. Unpopular Opinion time, but this time at least something acknowledged for every generation. *Warning: HUUUGE comment* but I don't got equipment to make it a video.
    Gen 1:
    - Gonna be honest chief, I think this is the worst generation hands down. Makes sense though, this was their first time, but the first generation is just full of bugs, unbalance, and a very big lack of story. I don't get genwunners.
    - I love Raichu more than Pikachu. You bet I was freaking out of my seat when they revealed an Alolan form for my favorite mouse. This Raichu love really started over an attachment for a plushie.
    - I feel like Missingno. should deserve recognition for future Pokemon games, even if it's just a reference. I know there's the Porygon-Z Missingno theory, but I just want something... official.
    - Weird to make Ash win the Gym Badges by.. not really doing anything based around the gym battles. Like I get it, it makes a sort of expectation subversion, but even when the Gen 7 anime admitted Ash kinda half-assed his way through Kanto, I thought him being bit of an idiot is slightly justified.
    Gen 2:
    - Second worst generation. This didn't really feel like an actual sequel game, this just felt like a time skip expansion pack if it were to be modern day. Literally most of the Johto mon are from Kanto anyway, and the fact some weak Pokemon are locked behind Kanto, es-PECIALLY Misdrevious is just stupid.
    - I too agree Whitney ain't as bad people say. Honestly I just did "if you can't beat em, join them" with a Jigglypuff.
    - Karen. Ironically considering the time we're in, best Elite 4 member in the whole Pokemon series. How is this woman not Champion yet??
    Gen 3:
    - You know how IGN criticized the game (mostly ORAS) for having too much water? Well I kinda agree with that to the extent of too much water encounters. It gets annoying overtime.
    - I personally like Plusle and Minun. I thought their whole concept was pretty neat, finally being a Pokemon based on positive and negative charge, and they are so nice to use in Doubles.
    - Most forgettable anime era, and probably my least favorite.
    Gen 4:
    - I honestly never asked for a Sinnoh remake, but here we are I guess.
    - Like you, I don't get Team Galactic. Cyrus felt a bit too edgy for me, not to mention he somewhat contradicts his own ideology because of Crobat (you know... evolving via friendship? Something Cyrus completely neglects?) Also Team Galactic themselves didn't know Cyrus' true plan to make a new world, like what is this team coordination?!
    - I don't get Ash x Dawn. I really don't. They fight and disagree on.. well.. a LOT of things. I don't see the chemistry.
    - Only Eterna City and Cynthia's themes I like. Other than that, I think this is my least favorite Pokemon soundtrack.
    - You thought Kalos League was Ash's most robbed Championship? THIS generation was utter BS on what they had to do to make Ash lose. A trainer that has Darkrai and Latios? This trainer makes GOH more likeable to me. THIS is what I think should've been the championship Ash should've won.
    Gen 5:
    - I personally like Garboder and Vanniluxe.
    - I don't think Zoroark should've gotten its own movie. What's so legendary about it? It's not like it has very special powers like Lucario.
    - I think the BW anime was pretty decent upon a rewatch. It ain't good, but considering what the heck did Ash managed to pull in the Hoenn series (honestly screw the Thunder Armor balony), it ain't terrible and wtf was that Tobias pull?
    - The moving sprites some are a problem. To some I really like, but the others I just think "what the heck are they supposed to be doing?"
    Gen 6:
    - Favorite champion design, but honestly Diantha was only saved by the anime. It appears to be a thing they're doing.
    - Team Flare in the game had the most intimidating goal, being mass extinction. Anime took Team Flare to a WHOLE new level.
    - I personally thought the rival trio were okay. Not great, but ain't bad.
    - Mega Evolution, compared to the other gimmicks, is honestly my least favorite gimmick, especially for the competitive meta. Gimmicks now has gotta have strategy involved. Mega Evolution oh you bet they'll just activate it Turn 1 of the Pokemon. Really the only cool thing about Mega Evolution is their designs. That's really it. Otherwise it's just power up, few of which are completely useless Mega Evolutions or given to Pokemon that obviously don't need it (Mewtwo and Charizard get TWO?! Mewtwo though I get for Mega X. It requires you to play a different playstyle.)
    - Talk about irony from Pokemon fans. When a majority of people complained that Mega Evolution was really terrible, now that other gimmicks exist, they want it back.
    - Zinnia is one of my favorites, and it would've been even more cool if, like the manga, Rayquaza impaled her through the stomach (Though... I know why they didn't do that for the games).
    - Personally while it does feel robbed, if there's something I know about Ash-Greninja, it's not that bulky. Pretty frail if you asked me. Meanwhile Alain's Mega Charizard X is not only normally damaged to water due to Dragon type, but it knew Thunder Punch, which has its chance to OHKO an Ash-Greninja using Tough Claws and Blast Burn could 2HKO meanwhile Greninja is weak to Electric and its worst stat is its physical defense.
    Gen 7:
    - Most underrated generation. First time in a while where Game Freak took a risk and they tried something new and personally it paid off from the Trials and Grand Trials, the immense lore, touching on parallel universes (which is canonically what every copy of a Pokemon game is: it's own universe). The environments too, while pretty linear in most areas, really captures a tropical feel, especially in USUM.
    - Photo Club I think is also pretty underrated.
    - Necrozma is personally one of the deepest Legendary Pokemon next to Kyurem. Though the only difference being we know Necrozma's true form, but we so far don't know the Original Dragon.
    - I think the anime is pretty good. Of course it starts rough, but it gets better from there really.
    - I like anime Lusamine. Not as much as SM Game Lusamine, but I like how in the anime she is trying to better herself. This is then carried in to Pokemon Masters, showing she is still trying to be a good mother. If anything you can say this is like after the events of Game SM.
    - Let's Go were pretty good games, ngl. They looked clean and vibrant, and the adventure hits more, especially the cutscene with Marowak. (also technically the return the Missingno as its ghost form). Also they showed GREEN. Not Leaf, but Green. You know, the manga character.
    Gen 8:
    (deep breathes)
    - I think Sword and Shield are solid games. Yes the story is the main issue, and really the only thing I hate about it. Everything else is pretty solid and good. Not to mention they fixed problems the previous generations had, like the competitive meta being WAY easier to enter. Grinding is no longer necessary, and by god THE TUTORIALS ARE OPTIONAL! FINALLY!!! If I can put my view of Sword and Shield as a Persona 5 quote: "Not terrible, but not impressive". If the DLC was cheaper (I'd take $10-15), or like Kirby Star Allies, FREE, then this game would've been way better. A decent game with a big sack of missed potential. How sad.
    - Best rival trio in the Pokemon series. Hop's own personal adventure for self-importance and ego makes me feel guilty honestly. Marnie is being a wholesome punk character (and really a subverted expectation. I thought she was gonna be a typical punk girl.), and Bede being the return of a jerk rival and him being disowned is pretty hilarious. If only the game did what the manga did, then this would've been the best rival trio, CASE CLOSED.
    - Leon, best Champion, and only would be beaten if Karen ever becomes Champion. Leon is something every Pokemon Champion failed to be: being a role model. Charming, probably one of the few AI that actually would select a weakness of your Pokemon, and not to mention the only Champion that actually attempts to protect children instead of just standing doing nothing and letting a child do it as first option in their mind.
    - I personally like the BDSP Chibi style. It's cute.
    - As much as I know Legends Arceus isn't at the graphical level people want, what it currently is reminds me of Okami, so I guess you can say I am pretty attached to the look and style of the world.
    - Remember when previous Pokemon games had "opposite-gender-becomes-rival/friend" thing? Well Legends Arceus is bringing that back sorta and honestly I really missed that.

    1. I consider FRLG inferior to the original RBY games and while I don't think Let's Go are better than originals I think Let's Go is better than FRLG.
    2. I've never liked Typlosion and I consider it to be the worse Gen 2 final evo design wise. I love the pre evolutions but always found Typlosion overrated and unappealing.
    3. We need more jerk rivals. Friendly rivals aren't bad necessarily it's just with the exception of Gen 5 (and maybe Barry) Gamefreak keeps fumbling the execution of them. For Example Gen 6 you have 4 rivals who are so boring, uninteresting and forgettable, Gen 3 you have Wally who you battle once at the 3rd gym and after that he's forgotten about till Victory road and you are only told that he's grown instead of showing it by battling him throughout the game, or with most modern rivals like Hau or Hop who constantly interrupt the flow of the game by constantly spewing uninteresting amount of dialogue. I honestly don't understand why people say we don't more jerk rivals, we need more diversity. We have 2 jerk rivals and 12 friendly rivals and of those 12 rivals only the Gen 5 rivals are loved by most fans so we have 9 hated friendly rivals.
    4. My ranking of the Pokemon stories is this
    1. BW/BW2
    2. DPP
    3. RBY
    4. Vanilla SM
    5. HGSS/GSK
    6. XY
    7. USUM
    8. SWSH
    5. Gen 8 IMO has the weakest Pokemon line up and the weakest soundtrack.
    6. Gen 7 has the best line up of new Pokemon of all the games.
    7. Genfivers are more annoying then Genwunners. I hardly even see any Genwunners any more but I see CONSTANT Genfivers saying how Gen 5 is the best and most underrated Generation and the last time Pokemon had true effort put into it. I agree with that statement but I hate hearing it on every "Pokemon is lazy" video or on every video where people crap on Gen 8 or modern Pokemon. These people have no problem pointing out the flaws with Gen 1 or 2 but bring up a flaw with Gen 5 and Genfivers blow a gasket and get EXTREMELY defensive.
    8. The Meganium Line gets so much undeserved hatred all because grass types were awful in Gen 2 but fire types were equal awful in Gen 1 but Chrizard gets a pass because he's a dragon and it's so masculine but because Meganium is more feminine people consider it bad. Plus to follow up on your Whitney's Milktank not being that difficult of a fight Bayleef has the easiest time against her. You can poison her with Poison powder, use Reflect so Rollout does so little damage plus you can heal with Synthesis, and if you have Headbutt you can flinch Milktank. Easy fight.
    9. USUM are the worst modern Pokemon games and the Ultra Necrozma fight was super easy. USUM have no reason to exist besides being a cash grab and the "content" they added should have been added as DLC to base SM. USUM are nowhere near the quality of other 3rd versions.
    10. There's no need to grind in Pokemon games and there never was one. Unless you're doing self imposed challenge grinding is pointless. The games are balanced where if you fight every NPC trainer you have more than enough Exp to beat the games. When someone says they don't like the new Exp Share in modern Pokemon there's always that one guy who mockingly says " Have fun grinding for hours" but these people truly miss the point of why people don't like the new Exp share. In the old games people loved leveling up there Pokemon individually because it was fun and rewarding and when one Pokemon was a high enough level they switched out that Pokemon for the next one in your party. There was no grinding it was just people playing the game normally. The reason why people don't like the modern Exp share is because it encourages a pretty lame playstyle where you can just stomp the game with your starter and only swap them out if they have a disadvantage. You don't from as tight of a connection with you other Pokemon. The modern Exp Share isn't bad as a concept it's just it's too unbalanced unlike in games like Pokemon Unbound where it's more balanced.
    11. The Gen 4 anime is objectively the best season of the anime and nothing comes close to it.

      People’s hate against USUM is objectively unjustified, USUM are the best games Game Freak has released since BW2, and people hate them just because SM exist. USUM came out in a time where the concept of the third version is extremely outdated, and that’s a fact, but stop being so fucking nostalgic about Platinum, Emerald and Crystal and judge objectively what USUM have to offer, because they literally do the same things that Platinum, Emerald and Crystal did back when they released, with the same quality or even better in some cases. Seriously, the only bad thing that I can say about USUM is that the new plot is worse than SM’s plot, but beside that, everything else is better than SM, and its better than all the other games Game Freak made after Gen 5: there are new features, new areas, new Pokemons, new minigames like the Surf Mantine or the Chargabug Puzzle Minigame, an actual post game with the Rainbow Rocket stuff, and the game was challenging from start to finish.
      Again, Platinum, Emerald and Crystal did the same things, so there’s literally no objective reason to consider USUM the worst games or simply bad games

      @malmasterson3890 2 года назад

      Wow, I both heavily disagree & heavily agree with many of these takes. Respect.
      The biggest standout as far as disagreements for me is with saying the gen 8 line up is the weakest. I actually believe it is heavily underrapreciated right now and they really did a great job helping out evolution lines that needed better pokemon, as well as just some very creative new pokemon that are a lot of fun to hunt & experiment with compared to many other gens.
      The biggest one I agree with that I think is very unpopular is that gen 5ers are the worst generation stans. I don't think gen 5 was the last good gen, gen 8 is really good imo, it's just that we're all older & live in an incredibly pessimistic & negative culture rn, but gen 5 has a lot to offer. BW2 is easily one of the best for nuzlockes/playthroughs, and has the best graphics the 2d era has to offer, but that doesn't make it perfect.
