Man, I don't remember that stuff. I guess I'll have to go back and play it.
I was just saying I liked how the story went beyond that of what they had made before. In Gen1= Giovanni just wanted to be rich, Gen2= I really forget who the bad guys were Gen3= They wanted to make an all ground or all water world and then in Gen4= the guy wanted to destroy the current world and create a new one.
It was completely different than the previous, and I liked the idea of legends and tales in these kinds of games. It really makes you wonder how much they could've cram packed into them if they had the time, money, and space on the little chip to put it.
In Gen1, it was about a kid and his journey to be the very best, like no one ever was. The plot was simple, the enemies were simple, but there was still more to treat the insightful. There were legendaries, secrets, and none of that was in the main storyline. That was the joy in catching them all back then. In Gen2, there were a bunch of rogue ex-Rocket admins trying to bring back team Rocket in a new land, with new Pokemon which weren't entirely similar and weren't entirely different in design than Gen1's Pokemon. It was a good expansion that didn't neglect older content. In Gen3, it was a struggle between land versus sea, and a debate on which deserves to be bigger than it already is, for the sake of those who inhabit it. Two sides to the same coin, both claiming righteousness, both with very valid arguments against their opposites. In All of the former legendaries were more elaborate. Mew's DNA is in every Pokemon, but is it the creator? No one knew. It was nice and mysterious to a degree, and also not excessively vague. Kyogre and Groudon shaped the region with a battle, that was a unique concept. One that hadn't been touched before. Then in Gen4, along comes god, world domination, and all that other cliche shit, and people are content with it smeared all over what came before it. Gen5 made a great comeback, as it reintroduced everything that made the older games great without reusing any of the old Pokemon.
I can't contain my nostalgiafaggotry.
