>>42997760That Gen 5 description is kinda grasping at straws. There were hardly any things new introduced that were that well received. It shows that the decline started there as
>>42997769 kinda said. Not saying the games were bad but they don't have many new features that set them apart from like past gens did.
I'd argue that there was rise in hope that series would have a renisence with gen 6 as although the games lacked on original content with the intrpduction of megas amd the move to 3d things looked bright for future entries. Then ORAS came and it became clear things were bot going to get better.
