Trash is relevant.
>Gen 1
Revolutionary but full of jank; really fun and everyone loves it for what it is
>Gen 2
A big step up, cleans up the jank
>Gen 3
Highly polished, what gen 1 was intended to be; weird aesthetic choices in music, setting, and tone though (e.g. moving from near-future utopia to paradise with technology)
>Gen 4
More polish, battle system has peaked, but mostly stagnating; starts to become overly self-referrential - many objects in the world are a "Poke" something
>Gen 5
Basically a Polish sausage at this point; bloating and characterized by all the special sauce (gimmicks)
>Gen 6
Welcome to 3D; nothing's changed (a few things are gone, actually) - things are starting to look grim here
>Gen 7
Gen 6 on islands
>Gen 8
Here's a shitty N64 tier field area lmao
The thing is, Gen 8 is obviously more playable my today's standards than the first games.
