Just read through the /v/ thread so nobody else had to, here's the gist
>Majority of them started with red/blue/yellow
>Gen 2 was the post popular peak for people
>The game mentioned time and time again as the best mainline title was HG/SS with black and white 2 being mentioned a lot as well. Everybody's pick in favorite spinoff varies wildly.
>Almost unanimous consensus that the games soul and quality was lost when it moved to 3D (especially the 3DS) with many wishing to go back to sprites
>Most people said they don't care anymore, but those who did give a more concrete answer said the future was grim and bleak, claiming the quality of the games will continue to drop and they will sell like hotcakes regardless of quality and craftsmanship so there is no incentive for improvement and the IP is too big to die
