The Unpopular Opinions thread

[-Apples-]

Don’t know if it counts as an unpopular opinion, but I kinda feel that the newer Pokémon species feel less like Pokémon and more like a new rivaling franchise that is trying to be as popular as Pokémon is. While I do acknowledge that every official Pokémon is a real Pokémon, but it feels very different in later generations.

In terms of how much a generation feels like Pokémon, Gen I is 100%, Gen II is 90%, Gen III is 80%, Gen IV is 65%, Gen V is 50%, Gen VI is 35%, Gen VII is 20%, and Gen VIII is merely 10%.

Also an unpopular opinion outside the genwunner circle, I can also see how uncreative some of the designs are. Even the earlier Pokémon based on inanimate objects, including Klinklang, Vanilluxe, and Garbodor, were done right. But starting 6th Generation, creativity becomes a problem. Pokémon based on inanimate objects are literally inanimate objects (key rings, flower wreaths, apples), while Pokémon based on animals are starting to become more like real animals than Pokémon. I can see why there are fewer new species every generation. Granted, there are a couple of species from Gen VI and later that are either creative, or feels like Pokémon (but not both), but there’s enough to prove this point.

It's the art style change. Gen 1 had a more 90's manga feel, the newer ones are more cartoony and have smoother, rounder edges with brighter colors that pop.

-I don't care for Star Wars, Star Trek, or Harry Potter and will probably never consume media of them.
-I'm not a fan of the mushier fruits? If that makes sense?? Blueberries, pineapples, strawberries and oranges are very weird texture wise. Bananas are the exception.
-RPGs with medieval fantasy settings are way more interesting than rpgs with modern fantasy settings. (Maybe this one isn't unpopular.)

Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam was just as good, if not better than the original Camp Rock

Fall isn't the prettiest season of the year. Winter is.

And summer is trash. I hate summer with a burning passion.
The heat from a southern summer fuels the burning.

Maraschino cherries are absolutely disgusting and they (restaurants, usually fast food ones) need to stop putting them on milkshakes and ice cream. I hate that they leave this gross ooze that taints anything it touches.

I agree with this SO MUCH but I the one thing I do sort of like about this situation is that some people act like I am just the nicest person in the universe when I give them my cherry. "Really I can have it?? You don't want it??" Yeah you can have it dude because they are f'ing gross

Chili is just not chili unless you add beans. I see some people's recipes where it's just ground beef, spices & water and maybe half an onion if you're lucky. That's just watery ground beef soup ya liars

How can people call it chili if it has no beans? Meat of some sort (usually beef but I've seen people use chicken) and beans is essential for chili. Otherwise it just ain't.

The whole Mario series is a bit over rated and pushed too much, esp as crossover events into other games.

Vegetables and meat taste better than sweets. I'd rather have broccoli and steak than a cake.

There should be a popular opinions thread or just a regular opinions thread

I like Hyrule Warriors better than Age of Calamity. This BOTW spinoff is more boring.

Sword/Shield has boring designed Pokèmon.

not colorblind at all. Black roses have always looked brown in AC games

I wish they looked blacker tbh...

Then again we can't risk opening a portal to the shadow realm

Turkey and ham (unless it's lunch meat) are both gross. I don't understand the hype behind it.

Something I've noticed for sometime. Nintendo puts too much focus on Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem. I understand these series are popular and sell practically like hotcakes, but I wish they'd put more attention on their other games that have a fanbase but are overlooked or completely ignored. F-Zero has many fans, but because it's a racing genre, I don't think it would sell as well. Meanwhile, Mario Kart will, because it's Mario. Star Fox Zero came out a few years ago, but I don't think it did well. Metroid Prime 4 was announced years ago, but we haven't heard much about it, and sadly, this series doesn't do well in the east like it does in the west. Metroid: Samus Returns came out on the 3DS, but I don't think it sold as well as it could have because of bad marketing. I don't know the real reason. I can see that series stopping if Metroid Prime 4 doesn't sell well. Kid Icarus was brought back by Sakurai, but he doesn't have plans of making another one, so that series probably won't see the light of day for a long time or ever.
