>>57198816Gen 1 - Never played the original, only played FRLG as a teen and it was pretty alright. Never experienced peak Pokemania, must have been legendary.
>Gen 2 - Only played HGSS, has some flaws like the exp scaling and the annoying way to rematch trainers, but overall easily in my top 5.> Gen 3 - Emerald was the game that introduced me to the franchise. Liked ORAS though not as much. As a Hoennfag you already know the answer to this.>Gen 4 - Another banger. Admittedly I didn't like Arceus + the creation trio being godlike, multiversal beings and the amount of HMs but overall, good.>Gen 5 - Actually fell for the hate bandwagon without even playing the game. Finally played it and was actually surprised and thoroughly enjoyed it from BW to BW2 and became obsessed with it. It's the first gen where I tried to 100% the side content like medals, Join Avenue, Pokestars, musicals, etc. And despite the criticisms about the designs, I genuinely like a lot of them. Trubbish is cute but I never got why Garbodor can't learn poison jab in it's debut gen. There's some meh ones like Beartic, the muppet duo and of course, the monkeys, but they're unironically growing on me. Also love seeing the passage of time between BW and BW2 and of course the seasons. Never tried dream world though, damn shame. Overall, great one. Solid my top 2, could argue it dethrones HGSS for my top 1.>Gen 6 - My experience was actually opposite of gen 5 where I fell for the hype but eventually to eh. Suffered from non-Kalos mons taking so much of the damn spotlight, with the starters not even getting megas, the champion's ace not being a Kalos mon, etc. Credit where credit's due though, I liked the graphics, the trainer customization, berry farming, PSS and other QoL features. Kalos is a pretty region. I fucking hate fairy type. Overall, liked it.Gen 7 - Underrated, same experience with gen 5 where I thought I'd hate it. Not much to say, love it. I wanna fuck Lillie.
