What is your point exactly?

>Gen 4 Bad
That's it.

Half of it's dex are just evolution to older Pokemon. They distort the image.

Kantobros...we're fucking WEAK

Gen 2 could've gain some points if not for the Babies too

...

This is pointless if it doesn't exclude NFEs.
Remake the graph but only for fully evolved Pokemon (including Pokemon that were fully evolved up until gen 2 or 4).

If you think this is due to regular pokemon getting higher stats you are wrong. It's all due to an increased number of legendaries. In the case of gen 7 it's also due to UBs which are legendaries in every sense except arbitrary category. You basically just said that gen 4 has the most legendaries, which it does, which sucks, gen 4 sucks. They had a chance to make a good game in one of the most interesting regions geographically and they didn't.

>gen 4 sucks
we're reaching levels of contrarian that shouldn't even be possible

Having a lot of Legendaries is a non-complaint. Might as well say that the second game being called Pearl makes it unplayable or someone retarded like that.

True, but Gen2 isn’t allowed to have nice things so 10% of its dex was sacrificed to make room for Gen1’s aborted fetus.

Gen 4 was quite polarizing around 10 years ago, Gen 3 was 15 years ago. I'm fine with both, but they had many critics
The OP image is actually incorrect, Gens 2 & 3 have a lower median overall. Although 4-8 still beat it

That’s what happens when literally half the new pokemon are cross gen evos and legendaries

Gen III definitely got shat on a lot during Gen V. I'm the guy who turned HOENN CONFIRMED into a meme here back in 2011/2012. The "DP are the worst games ever" is something that started later, particularly during the Chuggaaconroy playthrough of Platinum where he made sure to list everything Platinum did differently or improved upon as he played. It was around that time I started seeing DP get treated as "the worst games in the series". If we're talking about general Gen IV dislike, the complaints were always the same.
>Too slow, especially surfing and Saving a lot of data...
>Only two Fire lines
>Barry is a spaz
>Too many Legendaries
>New evolutions to old Pokémon are divisive
Very few of which I would treat as actual issues.

Having a lot of legandaries is not bad. Having the worst legendary roster and the worst Pokedex in history is bad and one of the contributing factors why gent 4 is the worst gen.

I did. Bold claim to make, I know, but if you want the context.
>2010-2012, during Gen V
>Hoennfags constantly trying to prove that Hoenn was definitely being remade and coming out
>Grasping at whatever straws they could
>Trying to say that the airport being in Mistralton City was confirmation that confirmation that you'd be flying to Hoenn during BW and B2W2
>Tried to paint any presence of the colors of red, blue, and green as evidence that Hoenn was being remade
I'll say that the term Hoenn confirmed existed beforehand, but it was completely sincere.
>Get tired by Hoennfags constantly making things about them and lacking any sort of self-awareness
>Make a shitpost, literally, about a Hoennfag taking a really bad diarrhea shit in a toilet bowl with cleaner, rips his ass as it comes out
>Looks into the toilet, sees green shit, blue toilet bowl cleaner, and red blood
>HOENN CONFIRMED
>Post this two or three times over a few days
>Suddenly spike in threads of people making the same types of mocking posts
>HOENN CONFIRMED became a way of mocking Hoennfags for grasping at straws
>As it seeped into the general fandom, it became less mean-spirited and more based on the humor of looking for signs in everything where they weren't present

It was totally surreal seeing Masuda say "Hoenn confirmed" in that video from 2014.

> I'm the guy who turned HOENN CONFIRMED into a meme
what a chad

Irrelevant when legendaries and mythicals are the ones that pushed the median up.
