>>28013318>What I'm talking about is the general structure and pacing of the game, the kind of characters you meet, the story.Okay lets go over the basics of each game.
Hoenn starts off differently from the other games and heavily emphazises character interaction more than other generations seeing as you see the progression of Wally and meet up with the Champion long before it's confirmed he's the champion. Not to mention it goes well into detail about their characters more than gen 1 and 2 did.
Then there's the fact that unlike the previous two games it had some semblance of a plot as well as two teams, none of which were Team Rocket.
Black and White essentially take plot and development in Pokemon and throw it into overdrive by adding a complex (for pokemon) story as well as a moral that truths and ideals are one an the same. It even went so far as to change the climax so you don't battle the champion at the end.
Gen 6 was more of a mechanical change until ORAS rolled along adding more depth to the characters in RS making them feel more human than other characters before as well as adding underlying themes of mass pokemon abuse.
And from what we've seen of gen 7 everything has changed.
