>>23243028Well, what can I say.
First gen was just amazing back then. Second gen improved the first one (with Stadium 2 and Crystal). Third gen introduced amazing spin-offs. Fourth gen is when wi-fi happened and I started fighting on simulators (also, I remember some nice LPs from back then). Fifth gen was a good addition but I didn't bother with B2W2. Sixth one is okay so far.
IIRC I lost my interest in Pokemon franchise between FRLG and PMD releases and later after BW. Both were short brakes though.
