>>54545785>when does "newpokemon" start?Gen 3, but there is a clear distinction from gen 6 (3D) onward which would be the more popular cutoff.
>what does "oldpokemon" mean?Gens 1-2; the original RB and their sequels GS.
>what's the 5 best pokemon games?For me, there's a golden era comprised of: [GS]C, [RS]E, [FR]LG, [DP]PT and [HG]SS. Take your pick which version.
But the original concept is what makes Pokemon worthwhile; RB are still fun and later games are tolerable. Personally I enjoy any Pokemon game as long as I find a way to make it social (i.e. soul-link or versus). I think that's why the term 'soul' comes up - because, substantially, there isn't much to point to in justifying why one game is better than another.
>if pokemon xy sunmoon are the worst, why are they the worst?They have long been superseded by the Switch generations as worst games. Their main weak-points were to do with low difficulty and a intrusive story-telling respectively.
I don't know why I wrote this but it was fun. Pokemon is the one thing I still like from my childhood.
