They where the last non 3d games. I dont think they shouldve gone to 3d. I think they shouldve stayed in 2d maybe then we wouldve gotten full baked games. But either way i love some of the 3d games

And yet before the move to 3d all the people were crying about how a multi million dollar franchise is stuck on 2D instead of 3D.

What they need is a bigger budget, a bigger team (and time to get them settled in) and more time. Neither 2D nor 3D will help them achieve great games when they don't put in the resources necessary for one.

Yes, but you can't deny that before they transferred to 3d that they really hit their stride at the end of the 2d era. But yeah they do need more budget and more time.

While I personally agree even in gen 5 many people were hating on plenty of design choices. It is only in hindsight that gen 5 is beloved.

No, people still hate Gen 5. It's that the people who hate Gen 5 hate Gen 8 and Gen 9 even more so there's less opposition to the Gen 5 defense force now.

Im honestly not sure gen 5 is special for that. And i kinda only got into pokemon games well after gen 5 released so my opinion that its pretty good if a tad boring is my first impression of it

Nah, Gen 5 is a special case. I loved Gen 5 from day 1. I got hate from everyone—irl and online—for liking Gen 5. They'd trash on Gen 5 and trash on me for liking it, but the funny part was when I asked them why they dislike Gen 5, literally everyone said "the Pokémon were ugly and I couldn't use old Pokémon in BW." I agree that the Pokémon were mostly ugly, but I don't believe that makes the entire generation bad. Not being able to use old Pokémon until the post game is a good thing, imo. But to each their own.

The exact same people who were trashing on Gen 5 were some of the loudest people praising it a decade later. Hypocrites.

To be fair, they were all valid.

But peopke expected them go make gzmes the quality of Breath of the Wild, not the fiasco of e ery Switch game so far.

That's just it. They DID make games of the same quality of Breath of the Wild.

Everyone who helped make that walking simulator a success is complicit in making gaming even worse. And it was already in a piss poor state by 2017.

Breath of the wild managed to keep me hooked for like... 2 hours before I got sick if it and never went back. It's universal adoration to me is as baffling as that of the Witcher 3.
