People complain that Garbordor is a "bad design" because its "ugly." I don't think that has any merit. The design is fine. The issue is that it's just Gen 5 Muk. Zebstrika is just Gen 5 Rapidash. Conkelder is just Gen 5 Machamp. Seismetoad is just Gen 5 Poliwrath. I could go on and on. It was an extremely underwhelming generation, with an above average story for a Pokemon game. And honestly, that's just because N was a deep and interesting character. Everything else was pretty typical for a Pokemon game. Ghetsis wasn't as interesting as Cyrus. There were no admins with memorable personalities. The Shadow Triad weren't given any significant plot role until B2W2, where the only possible mysteries to their characters was deconfirmed. All the gym leaders had gyms that reflected their secondary jobs, but it's not like gym leaders never had lives before BW. I dunno. I don't think they're that great at all. Not bad. Even good, but I think there's a noticable gap in quality between Emerald and BW, with Platinum and HGSS surpassing both. |
Now tbh, I don't think Cyrus was that interesting either. From what I remember, he wanted to create a new universe devoid of all emotion. Ok..but why? I don't think there was an explanation for his actions. I think there was an old woman who told you that Cyrus was a loner as a kid but they should've delved into that more.
