"The Most Underrated Parts of Every Pokemon Generation" video is out! - czcams.com/video/P1SE1_ethbU/video.html
thanks for creating some of the most polished pokemon videos out there!
You forgot to mention in Sinnoh a very important flaw which was the limited pokedex and lack of versatility and diversity among the types. More than half are from previous generations and you don't get the expanded pokedex until post game.

Is hoeen has so much water so why do you stop team magma..?
Hhhhmmmmm
"Hoenn has too much water"

Sun and moon would go up like 2 points if when starting the game you could just choose "I've played Pokemon before" and cut the handholding like 75%
@Roger Dodger A thing that makes total sense for a series with a sizable amount of fans who are children.
@@luckystriker842 even children dont need hours of an tutorial area at the start, we all were able to play the older games with a short tutorial on how to catch and some dialogue on statuses
I started playing pokemon when I was 7. I understood it well enough back then with the amount of info given. Maybe theyve done some market research and found that todays kids are even dumber than they used to be... That or they forgot what its like to be a kid and assumed that they are brainless... The amount of handholding in moon is suitable for a 4 year old
@@ApsiTechReviews so true. I don't know what about literally all of us figuring these games out made them think "man we have to give them help they'll be so lost"
@@ApsiTechReviews they made a statement that "kids would rather be on their phones" than play on a console for why their games r easier lol, boomer shit
I wouldn’t have had a problem with Hoenn and it’s water if the water had more Pokémon’s then 4 same water types.
And they’re not weak to grass types since Tentacool/Cruel are poison type and Wingull/Pelipper are flying type so they all take neutral from grass, and they have an advantage over grass because of their second types
@@jrlaps521 facts. Electric type is the only thing you can do.. And there are very limited options until the power plant. If you didn’t pick up a menectric or a bunch of propels you’re in for a long journey of water travel...
@@jrlaps521 I was playing Pokémon MMO emerald with hordes implemented and you’re better off using a pokemon with earthquake and rockslide like aagron. It’s so backwards. And it’s so hard to level up grass types.
The grammatical integrity of that sentence collapsed halfway through.
A wild Wingul has appeared
"Defog the worst hm ever"
Flash: Bonjour
Flash stopped being mandatory and had its accuracy buffed so it became more of a possiblle convenience than a mandatory move.
Plus, if you're capable of remembering layouts, you don't even need Flash whereas Defog literally removes a weather condition that affects everyone's accuracy.
Flash lowers accuracy. Defog...gets rid of fog.

Ron: Sinnoh is Slow
Me: Flashback to a Video of Heracross using Close Combat on a lvl 100 Blissey
Basically
It’s because HP went down by each point rather than percentage
Oh god. I had that happen too. I just did it right now and timed it. 52 Seconds!!!
@@funtimefreddy4204 Now try adding weather, give Blissey Focus Sash, Give Heracross Flame Orb and Guts and now we are talking
As soon as he said how slow gen 4 was I automatically thought of that video. Kinda hard to not think of the video once you see it.
I feel like a lot of Sword and Shield's problems could have easily been fixed if the game wasn't so rushed
tbh yeah, and that's not really game freak's fault
@@launchbase4944 yeah it is
SirdabsaLoT1 YT the battle tower is pretty fun, but nowhere near as good as the pwt
Yeah, I agree. I did enjoy the game, but I wish they fixed a lot of things like the Wild Area and the animations
I wish they were given more development time. I think they could make some truly great games if they were spaced out better. Like, don't get me wrong I still love Pokemon and I had a lot of fun with gen 8, but I really love exploration in my games and the routes were way too limited in this game. One town was basically just one long hallway and it was sad. It just reeks of rushed development.
I feel the two biggest sins the Pokémon franchise ever committed:
1. No walking Pokémon in the main games after HG/SS
2. No Pokémon Z in Gen VI
Sword and shield has pokemon walking behind you, in the dlc that is, but it still counts
@@vertisyvengeful4254 1. I don't and probably won't own a Switch, so I know nothing of this, and
2. I will only partially count it if the DLC adds it into every part of the game and not just a DLC section of it. And even if that's the case, the fact that you'd have to pay extra for it rather than have it baseline in the game that shipped is not at all worth full credit.
Does anybody still remember Let's
go Pikachu and Eevee
And yes, it is considered a MAINLINE game
Removing megaevolutions and adding the Op exp share as well. Also making the legendaries Easy to capture
I can’t believe Escavalier was shown during “low quality Pokémon” of Gen 5
Yeah Escavalier is one of the 10 mons from Black and White I actually do like lol
Black and White bug types are great. Actually, most pokemon are pretty good and many are amazing
@@absoluteunit4581 The only Gen V designs I didn't like was Garbodor and Foungus. Other than that, I loved the cast.
All i like in gen 5 is Gigalith and Chandelure. Those are my favorite unova pokemon but man are they badass
I'll never forgive game freak for Swoobat though, I'm still convinced that Pokemon exists just to piss off Crobat fans
I like how Jynx, Pelliper, Simisear, and Greedent are chilling on that thumbnail without noticing or caring about which kind of thumbnail is describing their video.
Once they realize that they were done dirty, they'll suddenly be able to learn Outrage. XD
Cintrón Productions XD
I love pelliper- pls don’t hate on me
@@woff1012 Pelipper is a very important staple for rain teams and it's been OU ever since it got Drizzle, loving it is understandable, don't worry.
@@woff1012 me too
i feel like the one thing the new pokemon games should do is have settings to change the difficulty of the game
Gen 5 has it
STARBAEHR after you beat the game lmao
I'm currently creating concepts for a fakemon region (called Oinnrach, based off of the rest of the UK that didnt really get representation) and difficulty is one of the biggest things I've thought about! So far, the settings are "Easy" with the exp share always on and slightly lower level enemies, "Regular" with the exp share, but it works under old school rules of only that pokemon holding it has a cut of the xp, and the enemies are regularly leveled, "Hard" where the xp share is completely cut, and the enemies are slightly higher leveled, and "Champion" available only after beating hard, which actively halves your xp intake, the enemies are even higher leveled (excluding the first few routes) and enemy crits are even more likely, while yours aren't.
That’d be sick
Comedy Police, Hands Up None of that increases difficulty. It just increases grinding which makes a game objectively bad
"The slow pace" shows regigigas. Oh I see what you did there.
I have to wonder about Gen 8's "Tell, don't show" approach to its plot for pretty much the whole game not making the list.
Every time something cool or interesting happens it is immediately pushed aside with some NPC being all "Focus on your gym challenge, I'll handle this!", and any time someone actually does something the screen turns black while it happens. The most frustrating moment to me, is when you beat Marnie's Brother, head out of town and see the straight path back toward Raihan's Gym and think "I can probably take that shortcut now and have a more interesting return trip since it's a place I've never been through before". Then you hear there's a Dynamax Pokemon going crazy along that path so you rush in literally seconds after Leon but are blocked by a crowd. So you have to take a flying taxi or backtrack pointlessly through multiple routes, and your reward? You get to hear people talking about how cool it was when Leon beat it into submission rather than seeing any semblance of a fight.
Then you get to the big showdown with Eternatus and what do you know, the box legendaries show up and completely dominate the fight for you. Sure Gens 1 and 2 have little in the way of plot, but at least they're honest about it and don't constantly string you along with empty promises that something interesting is finally happening.
You can make it past that croud, you get a cutscene were Hop shows you a picture of the fight in the news
I think is interesting how we have responsible adults that won't let childrem get involved in these dangerous situations, and just tell you to not worry while they deal with the problem
I guess it’s more realistic because the champion of the region and the strongest trainer around comes and attempts to save the world, rather than some random kid who is just wandering around. I’ve always wondered why in past gens you, being a 10 year old is tasked with, in Gen 6’s case, LITERALLY STOPPING THE WORLD FROM ENDING. The champion of the region should be the person who deals with this stuff, and it makes sense that Leon tries to take control of the situations, him being the Champion. I also liked how some people said “If Leon would have been training for his upcoming battle, which he knew he was going to have, instead of taking these big creatures, he might have won against the player” This sort of shows that Leon is a true champion who cares about his region more than his status, so I really liked that aspect of gen 8
Exactly. Something being realistic doesn't mean it's good for the participants. Unless you play the game exclusively for the competitive arena, you play them to experience an another world, with you yourself as the protagonist instead of the eleven year old kid in the game. RPGs make you associate with the character you are playing, not the other way round. Therefore, I believe it's perfectly normal for the game protagonists to handle the big events unlike they did in Sword/Shield.
And hell I could hardly care less about Gen I, but at least it has more excuses than Gen VIII.
Honestly, galar is the best region in 3D and it’s slightly better in the nonlinear thing thanks to the DLC which also added more postgame content and optional areas to explore and a postgame story. Pokémon Sword and Shield aren’t as linear as Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and Pokémon Sword and Shield aka galar does have a lot of optional areas (including the isle of armor and the crown tundra which added more optional/main game areas and postgame areas in the crown tundra), the isle of armor are considered to be main game and doesn’t requires you to be champion to visit and the crown tundra is postgame content and added more postgame/optional explorable caves, ruins, beaches, islands etc. And the wild area is a fun explorable part of the region and the most of the areas in the wild areas are optional and galar does have some explorable place that you can get lost easily like slumbering weald and the glimwood tangle and some mini islands in some routes, etc and I get lost easily there and in my opinion, the DLC even added more optional areas and postgame areas to explore and a postgame story revolves around legendaries. Pokémon Sword and Shield also have a great storyline and it’s not as bad as Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Gold and Silver. So overall,
Pokémon Sword and Shield have the most optional explorable areas in all of Pokémon. And Pokémon Sword and Shield are my favorites Pokémon Games and the best Pokémon Games period.

Lillie: I am the one who is sick of you, Mother!
Player: Wowee this place is really nice and is that best girl lusamine, this place is just keeps better and better Lillie.
Worst part in this game is Player's expression ngl xD
especially in the Rainbow Episode in USM, I thought the game was kidding me.
True, the player is facing a giant ultrabeast that destroyed an entire city whose tail is bigger than him, just casually eating entire buildings and he just looks at it like

@@solidzack the player actually turned into a molten slime inside, the facial expression however was a facade
the protagonist's face sucks of all
And the USUM is a big big downgrade without this part
The protagonist is literally a psychopath
:)
This just goes to show that every Pokémon game has its flaws, no matter how much you enjoy them. Nowadays I see a lot of people saying only good things about one game and only bad things about another
It’s the generation that grew up with those games, right now DP and BW2 are being praised mostly because it’s that time for DP remakes to be made, and for BW2 the kids who grew up playing those games are all grown up and are voicing their love for gen 5
@@cloud-oc5yq it seems to be the gen 5 fans are finally uniting after years of gen 5 being shit on. The music memes served as a resurgence for how great the gen actually was and how it was completely overlooked by many
Pretty much, Gen 1-3 players absolutely shat on 4 and 5 and said how horrible they were. Now gen 4-5 players are shitting on gen 6-8
Jwanie. Yep. No Pokemons are perfect. Like I love Gen. 5 and the duology are my favorite Pokemon games. But even I admit that the issues he mentioned are fair & understandable. But even those issues don't bother me that much just as long as I'm having fun. And this is just probably me, but despite some of it's issue, I feel like Black 2 & White 2 are the " closest " of being an perfected Pokemon game. But that's just me though. The only reason I was talking about it is because it use to be the most hated Pokemon game and many people probably have either never played it or just experience on how good it was. Not saying there opinion is illogical. But I'll deny anyone who say the Black & White duology us bad.
@@jjc4924 tbh I think gen 5 is the worst gen.
Overall I think there are good and bad pokemon in gen 5, like in every gen. However because of the large amount of new pokemon in gen 5, there were alot of bad ones. (And ffs 2 of the best pokemon in the gen aren't available untill the post game, Zoroark and Volcarona...)
However I could look past that if it weren't for 2 crucial things.
the most important pokemon in the game were bad...
namely the starters, the psuedo legendary and the box art legendaries.
The starters, well they kinda speak for itself... they are overshadowed by litterally every other starter trio...
The Pseudo legendary hydreigon would be fine if it wasn't the pseudo, but for a psuedo legendary it just looks too weird and ugly and not badass at all... (Easily couldve been way better with actual wings and not heads on the end of it's arms but rather just 3 heads and a some awesome claws, allso a leaner body.)
The Box art legendaries are the worst offenders though... it's just a white and a black dragon... It's like "Let's get 2 Palkia's, paint 1 white and 1 black... and we have new legendaries..." Kyurem is just ugly and the combined forms look really bad...
And the second thing why these games are bad, I am forced to take a dull legendary dragon into my champions battle... Forcing the player to use a specific pokemon? That is just REALLY bad in my opinion...
Overall these things really ruïned my playthrough experience of these games... Still had fun playing them, but I much prefer playing gen 6, gen 7 or the earlyer gens over gen 5...
All is just my opinion of course.
"Black and white may feel a little bit alien"
no it feels a bit *ultra beasts*
*laughs in Deoxys*
😂
That hurts for a gen 7 fan
Lysandre was such a cool character, and they just killed him off like that
Actually, he makes an appearance in Pokemon Masters and it really fleshes his character out.
I love how positive Ron is, and I find his voice relaxing
Same
It's why I love his content!
I agree. It's part of the reason he is one of my favorite pokétubers. That and I find that most of his content to be unique among them
Yeah...
and it's so genuine! i love it
Finally someone talks about Johto level curve, I hate the level curve so much.
Finally? Johtos level curve is the single most discussed flaw in that generation lmao
And wild Pokémon hardly level up later on.
I actually like it, I like switching up my teams a few gyms in so sometimes its handy to have lower level trainers to grind newly bred or caught mons. Just my opinion though.
Steal the painkillers I just dislike grinding before Clair...
@@Coolms9 or Red?
One opinion to the Gen 5 (Unova) :
I LOVE the fact that you unlock the "older" pokemon from the earlier games only after the main story.
It was SO cool to encounter only new pokemon throughout the whole maingame. They should've done this in every game. I didn't like Gen 5 this much but this fact was soooo good.
My biggest complaint about Galar: They dangle this very interesting story of Galar's past right in your face but never let you dive in deeper into the very interesting lore and force you to continue the Gym challenge. I know that taking on the Gyms are a huge part of Pokemon, but felt much more optional than in Galar. Heck, even in the beginning of the games, taking on the Gym challenge is treated more as a suggestion. However, in Sword and Shield, you're practically forced into it. I would have much prefer to investigate the lore of Galar than take on the Gym challenge as it seemed so much more interesting and fun.
Especially when the region is based on a place filled with so much culture and mythology of its own that they could've drawn inspiration from.
@@CrystalGreymon EXACTLY!!! Ugh! The historian/mythologist in me is BEGGING to explore the mysteries of Galar more!
Leon: Casually doing most of the game's plot
Player Character: GYMNASIUM TIME
@@KaaneDragonShinobi Yeah, that was also very annoying. Any time something really interesting happened, Leon practically pushed you aside, telling you not to worry and to just focus on the Gym Challenge while he ran off, more than likely getting lost along the way, to take of it himself. Past Champions actually asked you to help like Lance and Steven. Leon won't even let you try to help! The only time you do get to help is during the big final battle! That was so annoying!
@@Midnight3Wonder The thing people might say about Leon pushing you aside to try to defend his actions is that he was being responsible and looking out for you...
Which I can get except...
Lance actively helps you take on Team Rocket in Gen 2 and makes sure you're alright along the way, healing your team and sharing information (the former of which was VERY rare in the early games).
Steven doesn't really do much but he does make sure you do what you do prepared, the same goes for Wallace who functions in the same way as Steven during the game's climax.
Cynthia checks up on you and makes sure you're prepared, allowing you preparation time and makes sure you're absolutely ready, all while supervising you during the events so she'd probably step in if needed.
Alder and Iris both do their fair share of work though nowhere close to Cynthia or Lance. Alder also points out when he can't actively carry on assisting because of his Champion duty actively pulling him away and even then he still tries his hardest to stop Team Plasma's plan during that battle.
Even Diantha looks out for you (although more from afar than anyone up to this point). She still encourages you to follow your heart although of everyone here she had the least active role in keeping an eye out for you.
Kukui/Hau not sure if they count since they're just the final battle and not officially the champion but they do have some presence in stopping the bad guys from ruining your adventure while not taking your freedom to step up out of your hands.
Leon's just a shameless glory-hog. He relishes in the fame and popularity he has and soaks in everything because of his title which I genuinely believe under some circumstances were probably rigged by Rose.
Anime Leon is far less bad because he makes it a point to educate Ash about Dynamax on the fly and let Ash handle the emergency situation he was in but that's not even really the same portrayal so I don't even know why I brought it up...

One of my issues with Sinnoh is the extreme lack of Fire types. Which, I'm not a huge fire type guy; however, it's hard to go with when the fire type elite four member only has 2 of their 5 pokemon be a fire type. and that's including the fire starter to make his team.
1. I would have been fine with this if it was explained in-universe. It seems that what the developers were going for was that 'Sinnoh is a cold region 🥶, so Fire types don't like it here', but that wasn't explained well in-game.
2. This was fixed in Platinum, so I've heard
I remarked with a friend that it was a bit odd that the escape rope became a key item in Galar when there were no complex dungeons that you might need an escape rope from. I do like that the fly analog was an early game unlock
I hate Tierno so damn much. He has one personality trait: dance.
Don’t forget his ice cream shirt

@@bevhindle4727 why
why do you need a "me:"!?
My biggest problem with gen 5 (at least in B&W) was that you had to face a rival before and after every gym. I always thought rival battles were special because you faced them only a few times. But Cheren and Bianca challenge you constantly. I hated that aspect
To be fair, they are probably some of the best rivals in the series and they do have character development unlike say May, Wally or any of the Gen. 6 rivals.
@@jjc4924 yeah

@@chriswentz5197 Agreed, Wally in ORAS is great
Kanto: aw I got the most bland routes and locations?
Galar: Sure you do....
*hides behind wild area*
Although galar route is kind of different than the last route while Kanto is literally grass
I rather kantos grass routes than lazy environments that feel like they are just checking things off of a list. Like some are goo like the mushroom forest ( I forgot the name of it ) and the caves are good but I really dislike the random desert part in the wild area and the bland snow route that is basically a hallway.
Sammy The Mutt you mean victory road? Yeah that was terrible.
if the routes and towns weren't a straight line with a path or two that diverged in a dead-end, they'd be my favourites. Galar Mine 1, Glimwood forest, Spikemuth, Mototoske, Hammerlocke and Circhester and Route 9 looked really interesting and looked so promising but I always got annoyed when they were mostly a straight path
yeah there were a lot of good route ideas that didn’t have the best execution imo. I’d also say that Galar lacked what I’d like to call “pseudo routes”, locations that operate like routes but aren’t really routes(where routes are the numbered routes as well as caves). Best it gets is the motostoke gym challenge which iirc can only be visited for the challenge. Kanto has 3 “psuedo routes” by comparison.
I personally love Unova'mons, most of my favourites are from Unova.
Snivy, Munna, Swoobat, Reshiram, Litwick, joltik, all the plant and bug pokemon from the forest... hell I even like the apes(monkey is the only Chinese zodiac with Yin and Yang in balance/black&white so fitting!) And Ramoth and Hydreigon as Godzilla easter eggs?! Hell yeah!
Ramoth?
@@lambybunny7173 sorry, used it's German name, because it's closer to the Easter eggs name MothRa->RaMoth or in English Volcarona.
I love simisear. It’s my tenth favorite Pokémon. Not because of quality, because I kind of understand it, it’s meant to be silly, but it’s misunderstood, just like I have been for a while.
I’m happy someone likes them xD
It's weird for me. I hate Unova because of it's pokemon. And that's despite Volcarona, Lilligant and Sigilyph easily being in my top 10 pokemon designs. But the pokemon that I don't like in Unova, is D E S P I S E.
4:53: EXACTLY the reason why I can barely remember anything about Johto. It literally just felt like Kanto's DLC pack. :(
(PSA: JOHTO STILL HAS IT'S POSITIVES, IF YOU LIKE JOHTO, THAT IS AWESOME!)
All I ask is that dark types actually appear in Johto. If I want to use a tyranitar, I shouldn't have to wait until the very last area in the entire game (in kanto, at that) to get a larvitar that I'll have to train up anyway. Houndour and Murkrow should be in Johto, obviously. Yeah I can use Umbreon, but I usually don't want to for in-game.
@@mr.sandman7339
Exactly. Give X and Y some credit; they introduced their new typing correctly by allowing you to capture Pokemon with it during the main game
@@mr.sandman7339 especially Murkrow. I'm so pissed everytime I play at night there's only Hoothoot in all the routes.
Johto was kinda thought as a Pokemon 1 DLC. They weren't thinking of making any more Pokemon games at this moment.
Imo it's actually the opposite. I find Kanto so... bland. Anyways, gens 1 and 2 should be retconned into a single gen (since they would be a single game if released nowadays thanks to DLC). Change my mind
I... actually liked the Rivals in X and Y...
And here's pretty much a whole freakin' page as to why!
"Gen 6 was a generation where I hid myself from as much pre-release information as possible. I wanted it to take me by surprise and I wanted it to feel special. When I finally set foot in the Kalos Region, it was a fresh and clean slate. The only things I knew were how to battle and the prior Pokémon I'd met. That's it.
Almost instantly, the game introduces you to these few characters that at first you think won't go very far beyond the typical rival archetype of showing up after every gym or so and challenging you to a battle once in a while. But slowly as the game starts and you eventually meet the professor, he gives you some advice:
"Be the best Trainer you can be! At the same time, remember to have fun traveling with your Pokémon!"
When you put the thought into it, it's easy to see that every one of the friends/rivals takes that to heart and holds that advice very closely to their hearts. After that point alone, they don't try to battle you unless they want to. There's a singular battle circumstance after that and barring Serena/Calem who actually holds an interest in battling, they don't seek you out to battle you until after the story events involving Xerneas/Yveltal are solved (which is 6 badges later).
For them, it was never about being the best at battling or being super amazing at contests or anything like that. The advice they were given was "Be the best you that you can be." So instead of aiming to be the best battler or anything else, they just focus on their personal interests and try to be helpful to other people or Pokémon when they can.
They have plenty of doubts about their own abilities and at achieving their dreams but they're always willing to help out if they can.
The reason that I like this so much is that you effectively become their beacon of confidence. Much like them, you're just doing your own thing but you also inspire them all with your actions. Team Flare scares them and yet Trevor, the meekest of the whole group, is the one that instantly stands up to them just because you're there supporting him. You have his back and he's gonna do his best to not let you down. If that's not a testament to the friendship that you share then I don't know what is.
X and Y may not be the best games mechanically or from a story standpoint.
But they REALLY knew what they were doing when they wrote the most important characters for the plot. They knew what they were doing when they wrote some of the minor characters as well. Pokémon X and Y are games that I'll never forget because they're the first Pokémon games that felt ALIVE to me. I'm glad I had the chance to play them."
Honestly, I think the best way to view it is that the rivals of X and Y are different types of player. Serena/Calem is the typical rival/person who just wants to beat the game and become champion. Trevor is the type of player who is more into completing the Pokedex and seeing all the new Pokemon in the game. Tierno is someone who enjoys doing thematic runs/challenges - for example, a team of Pokemon who all have at least one "dance" move. And Shauna is the type of player who just wants to see the world and all the new towns/routes/what have you, and experience it and have fun. They're all different and valid ways to play and experience the game.
(I kinda see Wally in ORAS, especially in the postgame, as a fifth type of player; the ones who enjoy the post-game stuff or online battles, and focuses on making the best team he can.)
But then, I also feel like while Team Flare was disappointing from a story perspective, their theme and what they represented actually worked kinda well.
@@DrakeVonKat i would take the rivals from x and y over Brendan and may anyway because at least they have personality
Also, which rivals do you love? Just curious.
My problem with the XY rivals isn't that they don't battle you much or anything like that, nor is it because they are easy, or uninterested in getting stronger. It's that they are one-dimensional.
Tierno specifically is the most egregious example, and IMO one of the worst characters in Pokémon franchise history. He has zero personality apart from loving dancing, and does not change at all throughout the story. It feels like he only exists for comic relief.
Hopefully Pokémon Masters does the rivals some justice. Can’t wait until the remakes of X/Y

You know messed up when someone's able to point out more flaws in your current gen than in your past ones.

@@launchbase4944 people are more critical when it's on the TV screen, and the PR side of gen 8 has just been straight up bad so idk what to tell you there
@@launchbase4944 The video is literally specifically about the flaws of each game. You can watch his video on the good things in each region to see what he discusses about gen 8
I don't like how in gen 5 they introduced the "higher the level your pokemon is the less exp you get" mechanic.
Same. It made sense objectively, but it made level-grinding extremely tedious
PeachieQueen I actually found it less tedious than previous games. Audino grinding was a godsend and the postgame provided you high enough-leveled opponents to reach level 100 at a decent rate.
It sounds bad on paper but remember , pokemon also got more exp if they were on a lower level. That gave you incentive to train multiple pokemon and overall is a nice strategy to prevent overleveling and a bad level cap like in Gen 2
This. Combine it with the higher evolution levels and grinding through those games just became a tedious slog. Gen 5 is the only generation that I played through one time on one game and never looked back. I haven't tried Gen 8 since I don't have a Switch, but right now Gen 5 is my rock bottom.
@@cjtoledo2510 I didn't have nearly as much of a problem with that. It was annoying, but not as obnoxious as gen 5.
When he said team galactic was a low tier team, my heart sank. 😔
Well tbh, out of all the evil teams, they weren't really that memorable.
@sakura san true, and to me I dislike gen 2 evil team. It’s just a copy of gen 1 and not much new, good as a sequel not great as a whole new game.
Nah ngl I agree. Team galactic are one of the best teams compared to other such as team yell
@sakura san literally any team beats team yell lol
I thought Team Galactic was funny. They have no idea what's going on
I remember one time I wanted to play through black 2 without deleting my old save file, meaning I'd have to keep my DS on and not save the game. But then when you reach pokestar studios you HAVE to save the game, meaning I couldn't continue my playthrough without deleting my save
I didnt know how to delete my save back in the day so this was the only way I ever played black one
Why did i read pornstar studio XD
They should make at least 3 save slots in the title screen, just like super Mario bros
I'd take generic caves and dungeons over a single underground path disguised as a cave any day
And I'd rather have no rival/partner than a kiss-ass like Hau or RotomDex.

@@dasher3532 ngl scolipede looks like shit
17:23 I've been saying that for so long! I don't transfer my pokemon forward often, but I still didn't like the removal of the national dex. SM/USUM was better in this regard, where the national dex was gone but pokemon still existed and could be transferred into the games. The fact they did nothing to calm the fans down and actually seemed to double down on their choice was incredibly, INCREDIBLY dumb. Some fans might have overreacted, but GameFreak failed hard for doing nothing for damage control.
Imo it feels more like Game Freak wanted the national dex gone long ago to focus on other things but TPCi forced them to put it in in some way
@@kwayke9 TPC and the fans as well. This isn't the first time pokemon from previous gens have been omitted. It didn't go well last time, either.
Besides, my point wasn't about the national dex directly. It was about GameFreak being stupid in handling the situation. No reassurance, no promises to include them, no explanations, nothing for damage control. No one was right in that whole garbage fest. Fans who attacked gamefreak were way too rude, fans who defended them ignored what they DID do wrong, and fans who just wanted to play pokemon were treated as ignorant and wrong for not picking a side.
The issue was also that they promised a lot of quality as a trade-off for missing a lot of the national dex. Half the pokemon are gone, but the pokemon that are still here will be polished to the max. On that, they absolutely didn't deliver.
Kalos is still my favorite region purely because of aesthetic and the Pokedex. Yeah the game might be easy, all Pokemon games are easy after playing them for over 20 years, but at least I will be happy to be there because the region and themes are so pretty.
The biggest problem in any game for me was Sun and Moon's lack of freedom. Even in games like Unova or Kalos which are linear the stopping points are fewer and farther between, never had I felt as much like I was on a track as when I was in Alola.
However my least favorite games are Sword and Shield, I have only played through once and I haven't even bothered to get the DLC. It's not that I am through with Pokemon I am doing a new playthrough of Crystal on my 3DS, I just don't like Galar.
Kalos and up sucks. Unova and under are god tier.
@@ight5101 Unova and Johto are easily the worst regions.

@@user-oy7sh9uy2b Unova has better story than any Pokémon game you can think of. Johto well. I'll admit it isn't the best but it's far better than Galar and maybe Kalos
gen 5 was my first gen so it was always weird finding old pokemon in the beginnings of the next games. idk how i would feel if I ended up playing gen 4 or 3 first and having to wait but i've always wanted a game with an all new cast of pokemon so I could re-experience that feeling from my childhood, you can hardly jump into games spoiler free these days let alone being able to learn and discover things on your own. Looking at gamefreak now though it's hard to imagine them putting so much effort in.
i justified pokestar studios as probably being really appealing to japanese fans or something but ffs i dont think they like it either
I think gen 5 was meant to be a reboot to the series which is why all of the pokemon are new
"Defog is the worst HM"
Competitive players : no its not >:(
As a competitive player myself: no, *it is.* Defog only became a good move after it was done being a worthless HM. Flash was bad enough for wasting a moveslot to clear an arbitrary environmental annoyance, but Defog is worse because it does this with an annoyance that makes battles extremely frustrating if you don't use the move beforehand, all thanks to the absolute worst weather condition ever made. Thank goodness fog never made it past Gen 4.
Other guy is being silly. Defog is an unblockable evasion reducer and hazard clearer, unlike rapid spin. Great competitive tool.
@@MrPatrickbuit You clearly missed this part: "Defog only became a good move after it was done being a worthless HM." I said this because Defog only cleared hazards on the opponent's side at first (back when it was an HM) - this was changed in XY, when it started clearing hazards on both sides (and thus became the competitive powerhouse it is today).
@@SharKing319 Oh man I never knew I'm so sorry about that

With the way they handled Galar, I’d rather not have a Sinnoh remake. Imagine those complex routes being turned to straight paths.
Galar was actually handled very well. The level of detail is a lot more than you see on the surface. There are a lot of nods to the UK in more than just the layout of the region, the British slang/phrases, the localized town names structured like actual English place names, etc. You have, for example, the route signs looking like road speed signs, motorstoke and circhester heavily resembling their IRL locations (Manchester and Bath respectively), shops/ticket machines in the stations look in gb exactly like ones in UK stations, the battle cafes basically are Costa Coffee shops, footpath signs, dry stone walls...
If that's the level of detail that pokemon put into their games, I think we are in for a treat for the remakes. (remember, galar was from scratch, they have an existing region to go off of)
I'd ONLY accept a Sinnoh remake if it's done be a completely different studio, like Monolith Soft. Actually, just hand all the core games to them.
TheAbsol I second this. There is so much potential a Switch game holds, too much to be wasted.
it wouldnt be a remake if they actually turned the routes into "straight paths"
I mean, straight routes problem is here since Gen 7. But at least in Gen 7 you had some interesting routes

EVERYTHING you just said about Johto is what I’ve been saying for years. Johto is just Kanto V.2, and that’s a FACT, and the leveling is totally garbage. I love them still, but they’re by far my least favorite games in the series.
Johto and Kanto were supposed to be "one big region" so they being related so much is something to be expected, and isn't a bad thing. It is actually one of the best things in the game, how you can face 2 regions and even beat the protagonist of the first one.
@David Villagrana Thats the best think in this region. You forced to grind before E4, so you feel their power and defeating them first time is very rewarding. Not that shit when you one shot your oponents in championships like in sword/shield. I wish they back to that formula.
@@msu7777GSC level curve is something else.. as a 16 year old today I spent 3-4 hours trying to get my entire team to level 23 right after whitneys gym so I wouldn’t have to worry about grinding much later on, kids nowadays will get bored of grinding for 4 hours, so they just simply have to dumb it down, I dread facing the E4 and knowing how long I’ll have to grind for, it’s better off if you over level whenever you can in that game and I personally don’t find it enjoyable
@@cloud-oc5yq Thats the lazy explanaitions. Whats so exciting about one shoting enemy without any difficulty? Kids playing pokemongo that difficulty is higher than sword/shield and dont get bored.

The high evolution levels of a lot of the Pokémon is definitely my favorite favorite thing about Gen 5. Otherwise, aside from some bad Pokémon among a lot of good ones, I think the games are great. Also Gen 7 is overhated.
day 2 of suggesting this: ron! i have a suggestion for a pokemon video. if you have the time, why not draw your adventures with your partner pokemons? like maybe a scenery where you and avery the breloom catch a pokemon; or the many stories you’ve yet to tell with the breloom. something like that that helped you form bonds with your favorite pokémans.
maybe a drawing where you and zangoose defeat noland. draw it in a more expressive scene that’s not limited to the game’s visual.
:D ye
Maybe :)

@@truegreen7 fair enough lol
So lack of plot is a problem for Johto but not Kanto?
Ffs kanto doesn’t even have a plot
The plot in Kanto _is_ you getting the Gym Badges, filling the Dex, and becoming the Champion. "Being the very best like no one ever was."
(And along the way, you beat the mafia.)
Kanto is Become the champion. Collect many pokemon. While mafia assholes get in your way sometimes.
@@a-s-greig how is that different from johto? you actually beat 2 regions getting 16 gym badges, fill 2 regions pokedex, fuck up the mafia in 2 different regions, not letting then rise again, become the new champion and beat the shit out of the previous champion who went to train in the mountains
And linear progression only applies to Unova?
I quite like team galactic, but I can see how they would be a con considering how great some other teams are.
Team Yell is the worst Evil Team. At least Team Galactic have a specific goal and pose a serious threat in the Games.
One Of The Worst Things About Gen 8: No Enhanced Version Just Like Gen 6.
WHAT WOULD A Third Version To Pokémon Sword and Shield For eternatus As The Game Mascot BE CALLED ? Pokémon Cannon or Pokémon Spear ? if it were to happened ? if The DLC Never Happens.
As soon as you started talking about Sinnoh and heard the music, I started to cry....
"People dont like alola because you can't go anywhere without someone battling you"
So... you mean like
doing the thing that pokemon is about?
EDIT: this is a joke
I think they meant the cutscenes and confrontations in general. Also the story forced battles. Add those on top of the route battles and the game is constantly halting you.
I mean the unnecessary ones like how Your rival wants to fight you at every new town it felt like but he mainly meant the cut scenes you couldn't walk ten step with out someone bothering you
You basically can't explore, you always get lead right through the very simple routes, nothing interesting happens besides forced battles which are way too easy anyways

For the sin of Pokestar Studios we were given "would you like to use another repel?" A deal I will take.
I think the need for HMs are the most annoying thing in these games.
Mostly in Gen. 3 & especially 4 and what sucks more is that I have to carry 2 or 3 HM slavers that I may or may not want to be part of my party members. In terms of overbundents of HM'S, Gen. 4 is the worst. But in terms of carrying an HM slaver, Gen. 3 is the worst IMO because at least in Platinum, u have Biberal & Tropius that can do many HM's.
I think gen 1 hm problem is also bad because you can't unlearn them which means you can't get rid of them
Hot Take: If Pokémon Z was ever made, Gen 6 would be a top three generation
Facts man
I mean it is a very hot take, but then again - maybe you are not wrong. The third game can make a huge difference. Let's take generation 3 for example, Ruby / Safire were... less than great. But Emerald was my favourite Pokemon game for like 15 years after it came out.
So as much as gen 6 doesn't have much going for it, I can't deny it's possible they could have yet again work a miracle with the third game
@Phoebe LaRose The theory is that they wanted to get gen 7 out for the 20th anniversary, so they skipped Z.
The 3rd entry of a generation us usually much superior to the others.
Pokemon yellow might be an exception because you get pikachu as a starter, but atleast you can get all 3 starters in the same game plus better sprites and less glitches.
Gen 2 had sprite animations, the suicune plot and the battle tower.
Gen 3 had sprite animations again, both legendaries, a new plot and - most important of all- the BATTLE FRONTIER!
Gen 4 fixed a lot of the pacing problems, a new and very sick plot involving giratina and - again - the battle frontier!
Gen 5 is the first generation where there was no 3rd entry, instead they introduced Black 2/White 2 which apart from taking place in the same region where difficulty enough to be considered their own game.
I didn't buy X and Y because I thought Z would be the one entry that outclasses the other 2 and saves Generation 6 (plus I just want my Battle frontier back) . Oh well...
absolutely!
I have a very important memory relating with my mom and Pokémon diamond…
…
But that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna call the game ungodly slow lol.
I really like the positivity in all regions, even if some have more problems than others. Also, I think Hoenn and Unova are the best regions, with the best games being RSE, and then BW and B2W2, with HGSS as a close third.
Agreed.
I like Hoenn but for me Emerald is hard for me to go back to because I feel like my Pokémon weren’t getting enough good moves
Reece. That & the layout progression is ridiculous. And I'm probably the minority out there, but I didn't think Hoenn was that great compared to the likes of say Sinnoh, Johto or any other regions. I found them pretty underwhelming & forgettable. Especially with the whole progression fiasco.
Super well made video!! i’ll be sure to watch some others. keep up the great work!
ngl I can easily agree with everything you have said. You are a very positive person, and the flaws that you mentioned are the ones that I experience too, I really like someone who has good explanations for all the things they say, and Ron does it very well.
Does anyone really dislike Ron. He is one of the nicest CZcamsrs EVER!
Ron! I missed out on the video the day of release, just wanted to wish you a happy birthday! I'm a huge fan, and I love your vids. Thanks for making this limbo nicer
I think the main problem with Gen 8 is Sonia telling you more about Galar’s history at every turn.
YASS! IT’S SO ANNOYING! I just skip through it!
I’d argue alola has a lot of exploration. I understand not liking hand holding but after the game let’s you loose there are a lot of place to explore that are off the beaten path. I could understand the argument tho
There were some cool places to explore, and I went into the game with a pretty open mind. But I still felt exploration was more tedious than even Diamond. Diamond may have been slow, but at least you could poke around places more.
1:29 WHAAAAT? I didn’t know Master Balls could miss in gen 1! EDIT: 10:53 Also, Chandelure, I am using a Litwick I got from Island Scan in USUM but I am getting tired because now that the opponents Pokémon are at least evolved and maybe fully evolved, he can’t do as well as before! I really wish Litwick could at least evolve into Lampent at a lower level... (and yes Chandelure is one of my favorite Pokémon)
Yup! It happens with 100% accurate moves too. It’s called a Gen 1 miss, and the odds of missing are 1/256.
This analysis is perfect, we see eye to eye! Thanks! 💕
Hearing anything negative about gen2 hurts me!! Yeah, gen 2 can sometimes feel like an expansion pack to gen 1, but at the time it was supposed to!! One thing I will totally agree on though is the level curve is absolute bs.
The fact that the elemental evo stones are post game piss me off because gyardos wasn't that good in gen 2
The true flaw of Hoenn is NOT ENOUGH WATER
I found a Team Aqua member! Get em!
I forgot today was a Saturday, so this was a pleasant surprise!
11:04 OMG so true! I found myself totally overwhelmed when I finished the game with my pkmn in the lvl 50s and the suddenly BAM! All pkmn in the grassland and from trainers are level freaking EIGHTY!
This is very high quality videos. Continue 👌🏼😁
My opinions:
Gen 1: Games are broken and are pretty much held together by glue and string.
Gen 2: Most of the bosses (gym leaders, elite four, team rocket admins, etc) are underwhelming and kind of easy.
Gen 3: Too much required HM usage.
Gen 4: Diamond and Pearl are way too slow.
Gen 5: Worst anime seasons.
Gen 6: Megas were too broken in the main game since barely any NPCs used them.
Gen 7: Too many cutscenes and the games somehow felt slower then Diamond and pearl. Probably the most bored I’ve ever felt playing Pokemon.
Gen 8: Haven’t played since Gen 7 kind of burned me out. From what I’ve seen the biggest problem I’d probably have is them still using the same models and animations for old Pokemon. Don’t have anything against the models but seeing the same ones for 3 straight gens would just be annoying.
I honestly see no point of remodeling the same Pokémon. They should instead add texture and new movements/stances to the actual sprites.
@@Caerulis Yeah I personally don't mind reusing the model, but they need to improve the animations of those models to make them more dynamic/lifelike, up the textures like you said to improve visual fidelity, and please dear god fix the color saturation that makes half of the roster look washed out.
@@tristanneal9552 Yeah I agree, Pokemon are very static and awkward in these games. Actually I never noticed the colour saturation thing. U saying the colours are less vivid or sumting?
You know gen 5 is the best when the main flaw isn't even related to the games lol.
Gen 8's main flaw is probably its presentation and lack of quality control. A lot of the game felt like it was unfinished or was rushed. One example I have had an issue with that no one ever talks about is how music abruptly cuts and starts into the next song with no transition. This is very obvious when traveling from a route to a town or from a town to a route. The music just cuts off and then the next song immediately starts and it throws me off every time. That's just one example of the lack of polish. Other things are talked about in this video like animations being lackluster even though some animations are really good, the draw distance, etc. The game itself is streamlined so it's less tedious to play than gen 6 or 7, but it just feels like the game isn't fully polished. And of course, the way Gamefreak handled PR is the worst with gen 8. They just seem so tone deaf about it, like they hear the complaints but then ignore them and double down on their decisions without addressing fan concerns.
@@tristanneal9552 I also don't mind about reusing the model, but i thought the animation is going to be really good because they said they will going to cut the dex to improve the animation, but some of them are garbage.
The signature move though it's pretty cool.
In terms of programming, it seems to be that it’s almost a miracle gen 1 works.
Idk, just everyone gives off that’s it’s barely held together by the seams
In case you find a gameboy at home with a cartridge of 1G : play it, you'll see the complaints about glitches are wildly exaggerated. There's a lot on paper, but you encounter none of them in a regular playthrough.
For example, whenever someone talks about glitches, they mention or show MissingNo. That's something you don't meet without confusing the game on purpose.
As for the errors in battle codes, those don't break the game and are pretty much invisible to a regular player.
The development of the first Pokemon games were chaotic, because they had to fit in one of the biggest games of that decade, in terms of content, on a GameBoy cartridge. But even though the code is messy, it's not "held together with tape" : it's just packed enough to fit on the weak hardware. It's more like a miracle of programmation than a mess, and the fact that they managed to make 2G on the exact same hardware, literally keeping most of the content of 1G, is even more prodigious.
@@Dante02d12 I know it's hold together fine. It's when you're purposely doing it essentially now. It wouldn't have got to production if it wasn't. It's very much, what can we leave in or do we have to do to best avoid the player ever seeing this.
As you say, a miracle of programming. Absolutely.
Getting rid of the National Dex was going to happen eventually as there's almost 1000 Pokémon now and coding each one in is more difficult than just taking their models and dropping them in as you have to code in their animations, their move pool, their cries, pretty much everything that revolves around every Pokémon
Huh, PokeStar Studios was one of my favorite parts of B2/W2, so I'm surprised to hear that so many think of it as a flaw.
It's mandatory through the main quest. Same with PWT. Yeah. But I enjoyed both of them as well. So it doesn't bother me.
I liked it too. I don't think people have a problem with pokestar studios itself, just the fact that it's both mandatory AND at the beginning of the game. It should be been handled like contests and seen as just supplemental.
I think Hoen is actually pretty slow too, even in the remakes, and X and Y, while very replayable, have very forgettable characters, and no matter how many times I play it I never remember most of them, and sun and moon are amazing but all the town cut sciens are horrible
Hoenn didn't seem slow to me, but I was in no rush to just beat it, unlike most pokemon games (despite the easyness) I actually liked the game and the post game
Slow how? What do you mean??
The only postgame it has is Battle Frontier. That's it. There's no new areas to explore, no more trainers to battle, nothing. U can captured Legendary Pokemons. Cool. But that's all your doing if u don't like the Battle Frontier ( Like me. I know I'm minority out there. But I'm sorry. I don't find the Battle Frontier that interesting. ). And yeah. I found Hoenn way slower than the likes of say Sinnoh because of ridiculous layout progression and to much HM'S. That & the selection & variety of Pokemon is lacking.
my complaint about pokemon sun. and moon is the way you capture the legendaries instead of going to remote island or different realm you have to go through a single wormhole and go into one
@@jjc4924 When people say Sinnoh is slow, they're talking about the literal speed of the game's engine. It sounds like you're referring to the pacing of the game being slow, if I'm understanding correctly (If I'm misunderstanding, feel free to correct me or to completely ignore the comment since I'm replying to something that's months old)
My dad says happy b-day and he Hope's your doing well
X and Y don’t become more fun without the exp share. It becomes a grind fest.
Master Balls never failed in Gen I under normal circumstances, only through glitches. The 1/256 chance only occurred for 100% accurate moves, if I'm not mistaken.

14:27 Weird, personally the Alola games are probably the ones I’ve replayed the most. Usually doing some sort of extra challenge like shiny only, or a Nuzlocke. And I enjoy the potential difficulty of them for that. So that’s never been an issue for me.
When gen 5 remakes get made I hope Exp candies are in it to deal with the high evolution levels, I want a hydreigon earlier then after I beat the champion
I was so pissed when I saw Ghetsis Lv52 Hydreigon after I gave up training Zweilous at level 61.
Sun and moon were my first games in the series. Incineroar was my first Pokémon and is my favorite. I liked sun and moon a lot from the hype building up to playing FFA wit friends. Am I mad that you pointed out flaws in the game? No. Cuz you can’t truly appreciate anything without accepting the faults.

It's funny, that most of the ,,worst parts'' of Sinnoh actually enhanced my experience, since they made the calm region more atmospheric. The Team Galactic Grunts might be an exception though, since most of them are very uninformed about the true goals, while still following them obediently. However Zyrus, the designs of the commanders and the plans Team Galactic at all followed were that interesting to me, that this team is still my favourite.
