The 5th generation of Pok\u00e9mon games were some of the most controversial in the franchise\u2019s over 20-year history. Despite fans of the series always hoping<\/a> that new games will release as many new Pok\u00e9mon as possible, <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon: Black and White<\/span><\/i> versions were still disliked by a vocal internet group<\/a> claiming that the whopping 151 new Pok\u00e9mon couldn\u2019t compare to the original gen 1 designs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ensuing meme war was a dark time for Pok\u00e9mon on the internet, but true fans remember all of the comedy gold that came out of it. From derpy ice cream cones to a lusted for eco-activist, gen 5 proved itself as a front for quality content.<\/span><\/p>\n

10 <\/span>The War For Gen 5<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The war over gen 5 was largely one-sided, and unfortunately, its vocal majority were haters of two poor and unfortunate Pok\u00e9mon; Vanilluxe and Garbador. No matter the arguments fans of the games made, they were quickly overrun by angry players with memes of the giant ice cream cone and a smelly trash Pok\u00e9mon. This meme shows Ash Ketchum and friends<\/a> watching the two sides of the war in the place of a Pok\u00e9mon battle, with the anti-gen 5 fans as the powerful Ursaring and Conkledur overpowering the smaller Hawlucha. Ironically, Conkledur was a Gen 5 Pok\u00e9mon itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

9 <\/span>The Most Hated Dessert In Pok\u00e9mon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For everyone who hated the 5th generation of Pok\u00e9mon, Vanillite, Vanillish, and Vanilluxe were three of the worst Pok\u00e9mon ever designed. Just the sight of their cheerful smirk stabbed rage and pain into the hearts of gen 1 fans. This led to a multitude of memes detailing the Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s failure and isolation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The forever alone meme fits this ice cream cone perfectly, with a couple scoops of lonely flavored ice cream and a dash of frozen tears sprinkled on top. To many, Vanillish will always be \u201cforever a cone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Alakazam Knows What It\u2019s Doing<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Since the times of <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Yellow, Red, Green, and Blue<\/span><\/i> versions, Alakazam has stalwartly clutched two spoons, bending and unbending them as a display of its psychic strength. Now, a spoon is not a particularly threatening weapon, but once gen 5 released and fans started to despise the ice cream cone with a double scoop of cheer, Alakazam became a hero. With two spoons and Abra only available in the dream world, fans would really struggle to try and bring Alakazam into their games in order to defeat the true villain of gen 5, a delicious ice cream treat.<\/span><\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Gen 5\u2019s Animation<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A lot of the hate Gen 5 received was undeserved. With huge leaps in graphics quality and the most new Pok\u00e9mon of any Generation since Gen 1, the biggest change was how Pok\u00e9mon in battle finally moved and felt alive. This is a strong defense for why Gen 5 had good games and how many fans overlooked its many strengths, preferring to see only an ugly ice cream cone and a trash abomination. The work Game Freak put into gen 5 and fans’ poor reception might be why they\u2019ve been less willing to take risks<\/a> with new games and generations, like Alola and Galar. Think about that!<\/span><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>N Is A Real Cutie\u2026 Too Bad<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Many fans of Gen 5 tout that N was the best rival of any Pok\u00e9mon game. And they have some solid arguments! N is the first rival to have actual motivations outside of \u201cbeing the best\u201d and \u201chelping the professor\u201d. Further, to many fans, N was a real cutie (to put it mildly)<\/a>. This meme plays on many fans\u2019 lust for the green-haired mystery boy and the game\u2019s reveal of his role in the evil Team Plasma. In any Pok\u00e9mon game, this is as close as the player can get to going on a date, and unfortunately, it\u2019s ruined by N\u2019s evil \u201cfamily\u201d. Luckily for many, this sexy rival gets his redemption later in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

5 <\/span>The Infinity Gauntlet<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For true Pok\u00e9mon fans, there\u2019s more to a generation than Pok\u00e9mon designs. And this meme brings the rest of Unova\u2019s great qualities to the forefront. With great music, an actually good story, a strong region with actually interesting and dynamic locations, and the change TMs always needed, it’s hard to argue that an ugly ice cream cone and a scary trash monster make gen 5 \u201cbad\u201d. This meme plays on how comparatively, gen 5 has power unmatched in the universe, ultimately acting as a reset for the Pok\u00e9mon franchise. With 151 new Pok\u00e9mon, it might as well be.<\/span><\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Fighting N Can Be Scary<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The player\u2019s final fight with N has its scary moments, and starting off the fight against the generations other legendary Pok\u00e9mon is never fun. Knowing the powerful moves Fusion Flare and Fusion Bolt, Reshiram and Zekrom were powerful enough to one-shot most Pok\u00e9mon that players might be using. N\u2019s solid strategy and powerful team<\/a> are two reasons why he stands out as a high-quality rival throughout the franchise and why many fans find him so… electrifying? Or maybe why they find him so\u2026 hot? Either way, N\u2019s team is no joke at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Welcome To The Salty Spitoon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The vast majority of Pok\u00e9mon fans during the 5th generation complained about the designs of Vanillish and Garbodor. For the gen 5 defenders who patrolled the internet during this time, it was a dangerous place to have a loud opinion. Now that the world has moved on<\/a> and many have moved past the war of the generations, those who defended gen 5 can stand with honor, as the games now stand out as some of the most thoughtful, creative, and content filled games of the franchise. Too bad there are ice cream cones and trash monsters that override all of that quality content…<\/span><\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Back In The Day<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The war over <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon: Black and White <\/span><\/i>divided into two sides; fans of the newer gens, and the genwunners. Genwunners argued that the designs of later games had gotten worse and worse, and culminated in gen 5 with a smelly trash monster and a stupid ice cream cone. This logic is ultimately flawed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans of gen 5 turned the gen 1 argument on its head, critiquing the creativity of the original 151, saying that there\u2019s no difference between the Pok\u00e9mon at all, as both generations have snakes, turtles, and dragons. Not to mention the rocks with arms or the piles of sludge\u2026 Overall, critiquing Pok\u00e9mon designs to disparage a generation isn\u2019t a very substantiated argument.<\/span><\/p>\n
