If you disagree or are able to enjoy Gen5 in spite of the flaws, that's great. I'm glad you get something out of it that I don't.
While I may not like the characters themselves, I think their designs are pretty alright even if Pipp's fluffy wings threw me off at first.
Also, yes, I realised I had forgotten Sunny Starscout after I had already done the inking so I couldn't fit her in properly. Plus I just keep forgetting she exists. Sorry.
