 I was looking through the other thread with the same title, and I realized it was a very old topic from a year ago.

But it still got me thinking, now, a year later, are everyone's views on the newer generations the same or have people become more attached to the 4th gen since the release of Platinum?

One thing I would like to point out, as I saw in the old thread about this, someone said something about how they the new pokemon aren't good or something like that, and so they don't like this generation. I take issue with that statement.

I think what defines a pokemon as 'good' or 'bad' first of all can be split into two different categories, design and battling worth. Unfortunately some pokemon aren't good battlers because of their stats, movepool, whatever. That's something that can be generalized. Generally, though, it seems that when someone says they don't like a pokemon, it's because they don't like a pokemon's design.

Whether a pokemon is 'cool' or 'good' based off of its design is completely subjective to everyone's on preferences of what they think is 'cool' or 'cute'. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and you don't have to like every pokemon, but I don't think it's very fair to label a generation as 'bad' because you don't like some or even a lot of the pokemon designs.
