Your favorite gen is whatever you grew up with, and your relationship with the franchise is defined by your ability to ignore Game Freak's jank and enjoy the games for what they are. All of them are far from perfect, and you can bitch your entire life about it, but they still sell like hotcakes so your bitching is just wasting time. People play these games because they're comfy in a way no other franchise is, letting everyone indulge in their autism however they want. And that was always a thing, and I don't see it changing.
