I LOVE GEN V. All those fools saying it sucks are just that. FOOLS.
Yes, it does have some less than desirable pokemon...but every gen did. Yes...some of the english naming conventions are...odd. But WHATEVER. I haven't had so many pokemon in a single gen that I liked like this in a looooong time. I actually have never played a pokemon game without playing it in an emulator until now. Never once owned a portable gaming system until I bought a DS JUST to play White.
Just never really cared for portable gaming, I'd rather have my more powerful system on a bigger screen. Always figured just one game (pokemon) wasn't worth getting portable for.
