Gen 2 has bottom of the barrel difficulty
Gen 3 has 7.5/10 too much water
Gen 4 has 8 relevant HMs and runs at molasses speed
Gen 5 does absolutely nothing to push the series forward, its only notable contribution being giving you the option to immediately reuse repels
Gen 6 has awful writing for how much dialog it forces on you and they were completely incapable of balancing for the nu-exp share
Gen 7 is words words words words words words down a hallway
Gen 8 is a garbage mess of a half step between traditional pokemon and open world pokemon with one of the worst stories ever told in a video game and the ugliest art direction in the series
Gen 9 is ugly, buggy, and doesn't do enough with the overworld
