>>43398484I played HGSS as my first Pokémon game in 2016 when I was 22 and I've played every 3D game since then, enjoyed most of them but none of them have really topped it. With no nostalgic attachment to prior titles and a relatively fresh memory I can confidently say the new games are generally worse, and Sword/Shield was a disappointment beyond measure that pretty much killed my hopes and interests in further entries in the series.
