Critique and memories of the games, both good and bad.
I myself got introduced to the series with generation 4 but never felt that attached to it.

Came up with a plot to catch an Abra, used a bind onix that somehow outsped. Said Abra eventually evolved and I stomped most of the game while spamming psycho cut and psychic. Realized the evolution method after mid 40's when I for the first time ever used bulbapedia to look it up.
Caught an Abomasnow with my master ball.
Piplup was my starter.
Eterna gym was a roadblock, leveled a beautifly by spamming gust at gardenia rematches till it beat her.
Eterna city trade chatot shredded the game with chatter.

Looking back at it, the games had way too many hm's. If I remember correctly, my Empolean was a hm slave with surf/waterfall/rock climb/defog.
Some areas felt unfinished (lost tower before plat redesign, many of the house interiors using white "stock" tiling in dp etc.
New movepool balancing before plat (or at worst before hg/ss) was poor.
