As someone who's been here since the beginning, I promise you all that no matter the quality of the games or Game Freak, this board is better than the horrid state it was in back in 2011. It has never been worse than that.
Imagine, if you will, multiple roleplaying circlejerk threads that never left the board. Imagine erotic roleplay discussing the sexual habits of Pokémon. Imagine a massive influx of newfags as soon as Black and White released in English. Imagine the board feeling like deviantart and furaffinity without a hint of irony. Imagine tripfags dominating the board. Imagine the same tired generals and every other thread is "Name my character/Pokémon" or "Which do I pick?" or "Should I do a nuzlocke?" as if anyone gave a shit. Good OC was pretty rare.
