>>23424002>Gen 4+ Physical/Special split was a real game changer and a pretty positive one at that. Sinnoh is a pretty laid-back region and it's nice to leisurely go through, I suppose. Being able to play with others both online and off was a solid plus in my book considering there were actually people around playing this gen unlike Gen 2 and 3.
- DP is very slow. HGSS is a good remake but didn't really fix any of the problems I had with Kanto in the first place. Also, poor pokemon distribution for Sinnoh.
>Gen 5+ A region with exclusively new Pokemon was refreshing. Got some pretty good mon out of it as well. Integrating the villain team subplot with the usual "get 8 badges and fight the E4" was a good direction to go.
- After defeating the league, traveling to the new areas was cool... but after that was dealt with, I burned out and didn't do much more. No real negatives here but I did burn out from Pokemon during this gen.
>Gen 6+ Had a good in-game experience. Megas are cool and the Pokemon distribution allowed me to use some old favorites! ORAS does a lot of cool things that I hope Game Freak continues to do for future games.
- Following Looker's Quest, there wasn't much to do. The Maison didn't interest me much in XY. While ORAS did hit nostalgia spots well, some removal of features was sad. I miss the berry-crushing mini-game, the contests are pretty easy, and the changes in Granite Cave aren't very nice. The new Safari Zone is a sad joke.
