I was less a fan of the Sinnoh legendary design, except the Lake Trio, which I kind of chalked up to being evolutionary descendants of Mew, and Darkrai just because I liked that Sinnoh had more than one spooky location and Darkrai kind of added to the haunted lore in-game.Sinnoh Legendaries were cool and captured the feel of what a Legendary Pokemon should be like perfectly. Black/White was the beginning of the end, you could tell they gave up on everything that wasn't Reshiram or Zekrom.
I had debates in fifth grade behind the playground arguing about Moltres vs Ho-Oh, and Lugia vs Latios & Latias.No one cares about Moltres because Moltres has no lore or cool factor
Guzma is unironically the best character ever in a mainline Pokémon game. Team Skull amounting to shit kids being a nuisance because they’re bored was the right direction after the megalomaniacs and mass murderers of the previous four generations.Ya Boi showed up in Gen 7.
It was also just stale in Diamond and Pearl. "Oh, a new villain team aiming to capture a legendary, for some world-altering evil reason!" as if that didn't happen in G3, and (to a lesser extent) G1. Sure, Team Rocket didn't seem to capture mewtwo, but we all know they made Mewtwo. I liked the setup in G5, because they weren't as blunt about it, and N was an interesting character.Problem with Sinnoh is that after an evil team who's goal is "lol literally end the universe bro" and legendaries who control space and time itself, you can't really go any higher with the stakes and themes.
They shoulda/coulda pivoted back to a more Team Rocket style baddies with more down to earth goals, but doubled down on the "use legendary to conquer and/or destroy the world" until Ya Boi showed up in Gen 7.
It's less Sinnoh's problem, but it should still be said that Sinnoh took what Hoenn did fresh and just raised the stakes so high so fast it left a hard position for the follow-on regions.
Did they? I thought that was just an anime/manga thing. I don't remember anything on Cinnabar that hints at Team Rocket's involvement.Team Rocket didn't seem to capture mewtwo, but we all know they made Mewtwo.
you're right, but at this point the movie's basically canon to mewtwo's originsDid they? I thought that was just an anime/manga thing. I don't remember anything on Cinnabar that hints at Team Rocket's involvement.
