Oh I don’t even know if this is unpopular because I stopped keeping up, but I think gen 8 has the worst Pokemon designs by far. It’s hard for me to even make a team of new Pokémon, there’s a couple of AMAZING ones at the top, there’s some good-ish but not special ones, then most of them are just junk and I cannot believe how low it pushed the standards down with certain designs and some of the absolutely stupid ideas it had.
Gen 5 is 50/50 on designs, and I’m tired of people acting like the gen 5 dex is underrated. Gen 6’s is actually underrated (as if I care about that), and gen 5 always gets its dues because it’s loved these days.
People need to stop saying gen 5 is underrated in general, it seriously isn’t, it gets huge praise in every space and there are good reasons for it to be divisive. I’m tired of hearing about how gen 5 is the best bestest bestie and gen 6 suddenly changed things because love or hate it gen 5 sewed a lot of those problems, had a lot of problems people blame the 3ds games for like cutting tons of content and pushing tons of cutscene and some lame map design.

I don’t really like talking about Pokémon so enough of that! The unpopular opinion I actually care about is much more succinct: I’d rather have a group of loyal, true friends who can hold decent conversation with me and lead me to new things, than a partner. I care quite a lot about my idea of friendships. Alas, I accept that isn’t really the norm and chances are I’ll drift away from my friends, or they’ll end up very preoccupied with things like their partners in the future (assuming they go down that road). Enough said about that too. Basically: relationships are overrated (look, I can imagine a healthy/great relationship could live up to some of the hype, actually finding that is ridiculous and people act like any relationship = good relationship [see the stereotype of relationships being easier for women: if you want any relationship sure, if you want a good relationship which should be the goal then hell no]), but I don’t even know if that’s very unpopular.
