>>56132298Haha, def not counting the dlc, I should've clarified.
>>56132310I'm not saying they hit their full potential or anything if that's what you think, but compared to the 4 gens beforehand? Definitely the peak, I'd love to hear why you think otherwise though.
If you're talking spin-offs it's debateable. Conquest, Ranger, and PMD ect all bring something to the table.
>>56132336>>56132347You guys crack me up lmao
>>56132330Anytime my friend! Wishing you a speedy and full recovery once again, hope you enjoy whatever you decide to pick up. Pokemon is probably a bit daunting to pick up for the first time when we're approaching the 30th anniversary, but the games are generally so formulaic that I think you'll get an idea of the typical experience whichever you decide to choose first.
If you don't like it you might be better off trying a different game series from the backlog like other anons said.
If you do like it, once you get familiar with the series I recommend exploring the world of Pokemon romhacks. Amazing the things passionate fans create out of pure love, Pokemon Unbound is a great example of that.
