It's the fact that Gen V has so many duplicates designed solely to replace stuff from previous generations...most of which are far inferior to the originals...which winds up biting the generation in the ass.

I've done this style of poll contest once before, back in either Gen VII or Gen VIII, so why not try it again now? The rules are simple: each day, I'm going to post a poll for a given Pokemon typing, with each generation's roster of new Pokemon filling in that typing. You just need to look at what each generation had to offer, and select which generation you think brought the best new roster (for any reason; you could say that a single Pokemon was so good that it overwhelms everything else the generation spawned, or you could select a generation that may be more well-rounded that the one that created your personal favorite). At the end of the day, one generation will be crowned a champion (with potential tiebreakers if need be), and that generation will advance to a second round, where the eighteen winners, and fourteen strongest runner-ups will be sorted into a 32-entrant tournament to crown which generation produced the best overall roster of a single typing. The tournament has now begun. The discussion topic is here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80744044 and the bracket is here: https://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=478370 We kick off round two with Gen I Fire looking to once again prove that it earned its number one seed, this time by taking on Gen IV's only remaining representation in Gen IV Fighting. Will Genwunner-ism reign supreme once more, or will the smaller roster underdog pull an upset? --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso |

| Inviso 05/05/24 1:35:51 PM #27 | Finishing out round one, Gen V Bug scores the second-biggest blowout of the first round in a 30-12 victory over Gen VIII Normal. Gen VIII had weak showings in the preliminaries, only got two rosters into the tournament, and both of said rosters got blown out. I may like Gen VIII's Normal AND Poison rosters, but it speaks volumes to the quality of the generation, just how badly it did in this contest.

Yeah, I imagine 41 with 90 minute episodes could be a much stronger season. Yeah. That way you can still have the first challenge be a reward (and "tribal" immunity), and then have a second individual challenge (which, because it's individual for only six people, means production can be a little more creative than doing a stupid "stand in place for a long time" competition). --- Touch fuzzy.

They've had bad legs but they're acceptable racers who have made some mistakes. Sunny & Bizzy, Kishori & Karishma, Anthony & Bailey and Maya & Rohan were all actively terrible at the race and the first half of the season was (marginally) more exciting for it. I'm not saying they're not actively terrible, I'm just saying that you'd think by this point that ONE of the boring teams would've screwed up enough to get eliminated. Like, Yvonne & Melissa's best performance thus far is 4th Place. After eight legs. And they beat Angie & Danny now, who WEREN'T entirely terrible racers. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso |
