RBGY-GSC: brilliant little games that came from a perfect formula and a spark of genius which ignited the worldwide phenomenon
RSE-DPPt: building off of the original ideas and turning everything up to 11, and throwing every idea possible into the games. Most of them were great, but some were better left on the drawing board
BW: a worthy attempt to try and soft reboot a quickly snowballing franchise and recapture a lot of the original soul that people fell in love with 10 years prior. You remember how fun Kanto was, right? Well this is like Kanto 2.
BW2: Okay so the whole reboot thing didn't work out too well, so let's just sacrifice a lot of the artistic integrity we had before by limiting the player to only new pokemon until the postgame and just let them catch their pikachus and shit on the first few routes. Let's also get rid of the unique dynamic of having two rivals and replace them with a single archetypical shonen manga rival. Oh and we can't have an evil team with valid motivations and a believable presence in the world, so just turn them into big bad meanies who want to hurt people, steal things, and be evil like team rocket. I mean, people DO remember Kanto for a reason, right?
XY, SM, SwSh: YOU FUCKING REMEMBER KANTO RIGHT? KANTO'S ALL YOU FUCKERS WANT SO HERE'S KANTO! YOU WANT A FREE KANTO STARTER? FUCK THAT, GET A FREE KANTO STARTER THAT CAN TURN INTO A SUPER KANTO STARTER! AND CHARIZARD GETS TWO OF THEM BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVES CHARIZARD! YOU WANT A MEWTWO? HAVE TWO FLAVORS OF SUPER MEWTWO! AND HAVE THE KANTO BIRDS TOO BECAUSE THEY'RE FROM KANTO!
