Gen 4 is one of the best. What's there to hate?
No way, you haven't been in the Pokemon threads here on gaf! BW gets far more praise than Gen IV. Gen III does get hate, but not like Gen IV does.
Eh I really enjoyed playing Pearl for the first time. Put a lot of time into it. Sapphire was definitely the one I liked least. I kind of ended up resenting Pearl after playing SoulSilver and Black, largely because of the maddeningly slow pace and annoying UI, but it was still a good game.
Plus it has Torterra and he's a baller ass 'mon

I've never played Platinum, maybe I should try it. Diamond was enjoyable in many ways, loved many parts but overall wasn't my favorite pokemon package.

Fennekin is my favorite, but I really want to try trading for the others as early as possible.
Unless things have changed recently, Gen IV never really got much hate. I know a few people dislike it but not in the same way that Gen III divides people.

Those fucking neon butterfly fish, the 'Gen of Purple', terribly designed legendaries (except a few), almost every new Pokemon is a 2-stage line.
Battle speed mostly.
There was weird progression in D/P, the 150 in the Sinnoh dex were deficient for a few types, namely fire. Platinum fixed absolutely every issue with that though, and improved the battle speed a little, though it was still slow.

I imagine that the games will explode in Japan, considering the massive sales the 3DS has over there and how well 3DS games sell over there.
I hope that the games really push the 3DS to new heights in the west though, because it needs the boost. I think 20m WW may be a bit out of reach because of it.

Gen III's still my favorite after all these years, though I think Gen V's the best one can get within the mainline canon. I chalk it up to liking Hoenn and the amazing music a lot, not to forget its general revolutions in adding battle mechanics and forming the transfer break (which I don't like either, but it probably means remakes down the line for R/S).

The Internet is for post-mortem Pokémon art. I would have to agree.
I never had a issue with the speed of battling myself, I kinda liked the animations in battling that were there. I kinda like to play Pokemon Online too sometimes so BW is slower by comparison, but I guess that just proves I'm not really one who has issues with the battle speeds in the games when there is a faster method.
This is something I've noticed for the past 5 months or so, I'm not really trying to make stuff up it's just what I've noticed. There is Gen III hate but the one I always see the most is Gen IV. Gen IV is also the least I see people talk about. I know I've brought up Gen IV a few times back when I use to post in PokeGAF, but unlike the other gens the subject changes very quickly for some reason.
Time to work on Yellow right this instant. Surfing Pikachu is a requirement for life.

Artists have really outdone themselves.
I really really like this one.
fiber-optics man. If those are really sword legs, I think that's what crosses the line.

I dunno, I imagine the first 3D battle system will be enough to lure a fair chunk of people, particularly if there's a price-cut between now and then.

Lugia who?
Man... I never got surfing Pikachu come to think of it. Didn't you need Pokemon Stadium for that? I think I've attempted at it as a kid but lost interest.

Its flaws, outside of D/P's battle speed, don't stand out as much and neither do its strong points. I don't think Gen IV's unremarkable, but it tends to fade into the background of a heated generation war much quicker than for other Gens.

I'm so glad the legendaries don't have this lifeless robotic look some of the last ones had.
As long as there's a huge marketing push and special bundles, I really do think it would sell loads of systems (as in millions) on it's own. Considering the efforts I'm seeing for Fire Emblem, I'm really hoping they go all out. They pretty much need to, honestly.

My guess is Gen 4/5 are going to be "forgotten" generations compared to the rest/ Gen 4 is remarkable in how little representation it gets from the fans and Gen 5 just could have been so much better (Gen 3 won't be forgotten as people dislike it even more than Gen 5).

3D Pokémon will probably bring more people into the franchise simply because of its aesthetic differences from 2D art. It helps that the battle system capitalizes on the 3D cel-shaded aesthetic so well. These versions are going to sell bucket-loads.
Gen 5 will at least be remembered for its increasingly ambitious storylines and charming dialogue. Then again, you might disagree with that. I definitely don't.

Gen 5 will never be forgotten thanks to icecreamon.

As was said in the NDP thread, announcing early and having a Western release more or less simultaneously with Japan may boost 3DS sales outside Japan through the year anyway, encouraging people to buy early (and maybe check out other games). I imagine that they will go all out in hyping this up. In fact - this may be the first year ever where a mainline Pokemon game is talked about onstage at E3 prior to it's release.

Nah, Gen V won't be forgotten because it's awesome and they were the first to have true numbered sequels as well as an actual story.
I read what you said Dragoon, and that's probably what a lot of others think as well. I suppose that answers it in a way.
I forgot about that...yeah I played Pokemon Stadium a lot so I had it. Well, there's always Gameshark, Game Genie, Codebreaker, or my favorite...MONSTER BRAIN.

Platinum's battle speed was that bad for people? Seemed adequate enough for me. Oh well...different strokes and all...
ya, i'll push it up the backlog

I wouldn't be surprised if they sneaked in new footage at the Nintendo conference, either. I don't know if there's any precedent for it, but Pokémon's one hell of an attraction for a system like the 3DS. Just add transfarring and it gets even more enticing!
Since I'm not as well-versed in the games as some of y'all from the community thread, I can say that you just read an authentic, honest opinion about Gen IV. I never paid much attention to it until years after D/P came out.
Oh god, just had a flashback when I borrowed someone's GameShark and it somehow broken itself.
?? We're talking about D/P's speed, not Plat. Plat improved it!

I could never relate to the backlash those things got; I thought they were really clever designs especially Vanilluxe's straw.

Funny thing is: the man who designed that is already responsible for Game Freak's first non-Pokémon game in more than a while, HarmoKnight. He's probably going to rise up the corporate chain (if not already) faster than he can say thank-you.
I like the gelato 'mon.

OMG will definantly put that on tomorrow sometime! Can you pm me it? Im in mobile so im handicapped.. :/Cheers.
I hope so. E3 Pokemon would be sweet.
Hopefully 3DS sees a much better year here... the FE bundle and marketing campaign is signaling to me that NoA is going to get serious about attracting any and all into getting a 3DS this year. I'm pretty excited. Just hope they don't forget about WiiU in the process!

Just out of curiosity, why don't you post in PokéGAF anymore? Your presence and opinions are sorely missed by at least a few of us.
Not really.
Plat speed is like half a notch faster than DP's and as far as I'm concerned, HGSS and Plat are pretty much similar in speed.
Even with animations off, it's freaking molasses. Game Freak screwed the pooch out of 4th gen.

Woah.
It's definitely not on par with B/W or Gen 3's speed but it's good enough to me.
Woah.
Holy shit.
