As someone who grew up with Gen 6, you can't understand the absolute joy I felt when I found out we were getting a Kalos Legends game so soon! Especially with mega evolution returning, that moment was the most hype I've felt in a while!

Agreed. I feel like there needs to be a “reason” for a remake. Not just because fans demand it. Like ORAS had the added Megas for example.
@mikzpwnz_31993 ай бұрын
Makes me think that with Legends Arceus better reception than the remakes. they are using Legends Z-A to determine whether instead of remaking the gen V games, veering the remakes into a Legends game which is pretty much a "Pokémon Grey 3". They are using the Kalos games first in a way of making a "Pokémon Z" that's different to the gen 6 games first as it would be less ambitious and therefore less of a risk and using the reception to gauge making a Unova game in a similar style.

@@JohnRamen i feel like gen 5 would have been more loved if it came out at a different time. The old pokemon fans from the 90s grew up and left by the time gen 5 came out (like my stepbrother) and there weren't many younger fans at that time or the newer younger fans didn't connect as well with the story/lore. I was like 6 when the games came out so yea the deeper lore would have just flown over my head.

@@JohnRamen I'm in the postgame of White. If you want Tornadus, don't wait when the screens with text say there's an unusual thunderstorm. Go where it says the thunderstorm is. Otherwise, you can't catch it. The damage and status effects carry over between battles with it. It will run away, even when asleep. I just started White 2, and Elesia is annoying me with Volt Switch. BTW White has the past version of where Dragonspiral Tower is, and Black has the future version.

Gen 5 is my favorite gen, mostly because it was finally a game that was moderately difficult, had a decent story (For a Pokémon game) and enough rival interaction without it being every step or completely forgotten. It had a good pacing as well. But i'm curious what they're going to do with the new game. I did skip the last few entries (from SwSh onwards) because i was desillusioned by GF (lying, terrible work, dex-cut etc) but if the new game looks decent, i might give it a chance.

Yea imo SM/USUM were the last fine games. Aside from the crazy amounts of dialogue. But I hear nothing but good things from Gen 5. So hopefully they don’t botch those things whenever they decide to remake them

it wasnt awful but compared to the gens that came before (sinnoh) and after (kalos) it completely sucks
@Aurirang3 ай бұрын
@@Phantom-xy2bw I have to firmly disagree. For one thing, Kalos was a travesty. Fewest new Pokemon of all generations, pacing and storyline was awful and the game is probably the easiest in the entire franchise. The two good things it brought were the fairy-type and Mega-evolutions. It had way too many 'rivals', but none of them really memorable. All felt kinda milquetoast and mostly unnecessary. I won't even delve into the local enemy team and how terribly both the idea and execution if them were. Sinnoh is a very good game except that Gen 4 is needlessly slow. As in agonizingly so. Gen 4 had a decent story, but i think both B/W and B2/W2 have it beat by quite a bit. Cheren and Belle are way more likeable as rivals than Barry was as well. Quillfish-head is probably on the same stage as Barry though for me. Sinnoh is definitely in my top 3 but just barely. My favorite would be: 1st S/M(USUM), 2nd BW(B2W2) and then 3rd Platinum.

@Arctagon4 ай бұрын
You got me there. I was going to just leave it up to interpretation, but since you're asking, it's actually more of a coincidence. My enthusiasm for the games started to wane in gen IV. It just wasn't as fun anymore, and it was the first gen in which I didn't play much after defeating the Pokémon League, even though I forced myself too for a while. I guess I decided it wasn't worth it to get the next gen games when they came out. When gen VI came out, however, I was in an environment where a bunch of other people wanted to play them, so I was dragged into it. I still didn't do much after the Pokémon League. I got Sword & Shield as a present, so I ended up playing those too. As I'm looking at the list now, I realise that Sun & Moon is a generation of its own, which I completely forgot about, so I guess what I said isn't really true anymore. Oops.

As a super fan of and somebody who personally champions Gen 5, I am SO GLAD Gen 5 was not next. My biggest fear isn't a 6/10 Unova remake; I can handle that. But a BDSP style massacre? Naw fam I'd be SEETHING. Let the Gen 5 Games cook for years. I can wait. Please, make me wait for them.
@decarabiaumbra5603 ай бұрын
As a gen 5 fan. I wasn't really anticipating a remake this gen for Unova. The odd gens tend to buck the gen 3 formula of new game, remake, and enhanced game/DLC. Gen 3 bucked the initial trend by creating the remake formula, gen 5 only had sequels for the initial new game, gen 7 had reimagining's of their initial game + a Kanto tie in game. Going into Pokemon day, I was expecting to get another narrative accompaniment, like a SV prequel or midquel, something they haven't done yet to throw us off, or something new like what let's go and Legends were, but being either Johto or Kalos. I was still shocked (and salty) when Z-A was announced, mostly as I was thinking it wouldn't be a legends game, but a new genre for pokemon to enter accompanied with primarily Kalos representation and an announcement for gen 10 coming late 2025.

There’s a whole intro explaining the concept. The point was to upset Gen 5 fans, cause based on Pokemon game release patterns the next big release should’ve been something related to Gen 5 but it was a Gen 6 related game instead. So I used a Gen 5 team to spite those fans to try to show them what could’ve been.

Dude, you’re getting upset at a guy who has less than 100 subs. The whole video is a satirical challenge and not meant to be taken seriously whatsoever. I even said at the beginning of the video that I don’t care enough about Gens 5 or 6. Are the title and thumbnail clickbait? Absolutely, that’s how you get your name out there nowadays. In no way was it ragebait, at what point did I seem genuinely upset that they’re making a game for a generation I don’t care about? You say you don’t care enough about it, but clearly you care enough to leave a sad excuse of a comment when you could’ve just clicked off the video. Talk about needing to grow up, hopefully you can use that energy to a more positive experience in your life. I’m gonna sit here and continue to make more silly videos.

Platinum was my first Pokemon game I ever played. Needless to say I loved Arceus, and absolutely despised BDSP. XY are the games where I really like the region and the dex, but the game itself was pretty lackluster. I love the Gen5 games, and while I'd love returning to Unova, I think Kalos needed the revist the most and I don't mind Legends ZA breaking the usual remake cycle.
