RSE is just the right balance of modern and original, just the right amount of pokemon, not too many, not too few. The legendary weren't forced onto you, you needed to solve riddles to get to the three Regis or to Rayquaza. Given, Kyogre/Groudon were part of the main story and Latias/Latios' position was predictable once you encountered it for the first time, but beyond that, RSE is what peak Pokemon looks like. Firered and Leafgreen were okay-ish, but what came after that was destroying the franchise beyond any recognition.
