Finally, an excuse to rant about Generation Five.
Generation Five is hands down my favorite generation, punching all of the others out of the water. Now, i'm a big lore person, so the characters and plot are big to me.
But seriously in Gen V, the characters are amazing. Cheren has so much development it isn't funny, Bianca becomes a strong independant women, N is... Uh, N (NNNNNNNN), Ghetsis really makes you hate him, Hugh is an asshole who is annoying but still lovable, Team Plasma is either original or scary or cultist-y or all three, all of the gym leaders have personalities that make you love them, both champs are pretty tough and good ones, the elite 4 are the most badass ones in the whole series... God, the characters are great.
Gen V also has some of the coolest pokemon out there. Not counting Vanilluxe or Garbodoar, look at Hydreigon, Eeleketross, Samurott, Serperior, Zekrom, Reshiram, Zoroark. Keldeo... Gen V is a region of badassness. And they not only look cool, they're a major threat.
The plot is superb. I won't say why because spoilers but plot is amazing.
The final battle between N and the player is also kickass. I'm serious, spoiling shit now, but you are battling N with one half of the mascot duo. It's a legendary showdown with kickass music and backgrounds, it's great.
Feeling nostalgic? The PWT gives you the chance to kick all of your favorite gym leaders / champions asses all over again! Battle Green/Blue wih remixed music! Hug Cynthia! Oh yeah Cynthia's in Unova too she knows where its at.
The Musicals are cool too. And the music is top notch.
Anywho, yeah I could rant for days about this but Gen V is great.
