>>33596937Gen 4 as a whole completely killed my interest in the series, though HGSS was good for a first time play. Got straight back in with Gen 5 because my lack of interest caused me to not even know that Gen 5 existed until after it had come out, and seeing some Unova Pokemon excited me to give it another try by experiencing the new region and all its designs with the only prior knowledge being the few I had seen -
Hydreigon, Litwick, Pidove and the base starters. You should definitely take a break and try to avoid all news of Gen 8 when it comes around if you're burnt out and need to reignite a spark.
