>>30998150>almost killing the franchiseR/S? Couldn't trade up past mons from Gen 1/2, prompting sub-par RB remakes that only continue to be relevant because of the rom hacking scene.
OR
Diaperbeam, which was slow as fuck and didn't bother fixing the problems with GSC
OR
Gen 5, which was dull and boring and introduced nothing but gay yokai watch digimon
OR
Gen 6, which actually exists
OR
ORAS, which also exist and don't even make their generation bearable, like Emerald did with 3 or HGSS did with 4
OR
S/M, which have a limited dex, no pokebank support until January, half-assed replacing the gyms and HMs, and continue the mediocrity that is Gamefreak since XYORAS.
If XYORAS weren't bad enough to kill the franchise, I don't know what will. Even PGO got people talking, and that's just a screen tapping walking game. You could can dog shit and call it Doggo the Legendary Borf, as long as it were an official release it'd sell.
