>>26684748Golden era: 1996-2000 (apogee:1998, with the western release, the 1st movie, the franchise was surely at his peek in popularity and sales-speaking).
Middle era: 2001-2004 (That's probabily considered a rather not so high point for a lot of them, many abandoned the franchise, it wasn't popular anymore, still no internet in-game, so many of them just didn't have fun to continue to playing).
Renaissance era: 2005-2007 (some of them comeback to play the game, also DP had wifi).
Platinum era: 2008-2012 (The peak of the franchise quality and content speaking. 2009 and 2012 the pinnacles).
Decandent/post-modern era: 2013-now (the franchise's decline, pokémon just seems to have become some generic e-sport now that TPCi is pushing a lot on competitive).
