I'm one of the people who thinks gens 3 and 4 were okay but 5 is atrocious, and isn't buying B/W. :P
Thank god, they tend to be just ridiculous.....
I think you kind of missed the point.
Actually I find the amount of luck involved with stats and natures and IVs and shinnies to be highly detracting from the game's PVP playability. "LOLOLOLOL I WASTED MORE TIME GETTING THIS ADVANTAGE AND OR LOLOLOLOLOL I GOT LUCKY FIRST" I mean really! World of Warcraft PVP is less luck based.- Shinies are too hard to find.
And half the 'good' things about the old days are things that are kinda bad (e.g. he loves the fact that he can't tell what Snorlax really is based on its sprite).
Honestly, I smell parody.
So, after reading the "They changed it now it SUCKS" and "Ruined FOREVER!" pages on TV Tropes (I won't link for your sakes. :D) and this beautiful page linked from there, I decided to write up a list of times that Pokémon has been "ruined...FOREVER!"
February 27, 1996 - Pokémon is released, by Nintendo, of all people. Pokémon is ruined...FOREVER!
April 1, 1997 - Pokémon gets an anime. Pokémon is ruined...FOREVER!

I don't agree with any of the above, thankfully and I should point out I'm doing this to make fun of any of the people who say the above things, particularly if they keep playing the games or whatever.
Pokémon's going to be in 3D? Pokémon is ruined...FOREVER!
Actually I find the amount of luck involved with stats and natures and IVs and shinnies to be highly detracting from the game's competitive playability.
Shinies have nothing to do with competitive battling. And the rest (bar natures, but they're the least random of the bunch) have been in it since the start.
You have to admit, pokemon did mess up quite alot...
The original anime team, Brock, misty and ash were amzing :D
251 pokemon were amazing. But that was where it needed to stop...
Then more came... The RSE pokemon... they were ok... but over the top.
Then pokemon pummets down and crashes. P/D/Pt were released.
No-one, is amused.
Talk about JOKING around or overreaction. Pokemon is NOT ruined. It's called change folks. Chill out.
