laid the foundation for other non-garbage games to build on.
>gen 2
first dex that had more than just a handful of non-ugly pokemon.
>gen 3
wes is still the best protagonist in the history of the franchise.
>gen 4
best overall starter trio, some excellent cross-gen evos, great legendaries, physical/special split, also gave us the best pokemon game of all time (explorers of sky).
>gen 5
best mainline games overall, great dex, comfiest atmosphere, god-tier story and characters, tons of content (especially b2w2), the definition of soulful kino.
>gen 6
some good pokemon designs... that's about it.
>gen 7
best starter ever (based roar), best villain team (team skull), ultra beasts, good dex overall. shame it's all wasted on garbage games.
