>>56392704>>What was your first pokemon game?Yellow. Played it on my GBA SP.
>>What generation did you have peak enjoyment with the franchise?Gen 3
>>What in your opinion is the best mainline game, and what is your favorite spinoff?HG/SS. Not sure if I have a favorite spinoff, but I played the Gen 3 Pokemon pinball game a lot.
>>At what point do you think the soul was lost and the magic died?X/Y. I actually like those games - they have over 700 pokemon between them, tons of Gen 1,2 and 3 pokemon, and megas. So much fan service. But the art design, the music, the forced rival/friend characters and emphasis on friendship and the journey. It was very obvious that they were going all in on prioritizing kids and trannies, and it felt like the magic and charm that made pokemon games have a certain "feel" to them was no longer present.
>>What do you think the future of pokemon is?I don't know, but I don't think it will be good. We'll probably be trapped in a perpetual cycle of awful remakes, forever, and open-world ubisoft slop for the new generations. It looks bleak.
>Bonus Q:>>Who is your favorite pokemon?Probably Gyrados.
