The new Pokemon were a lot in number, and while not a lot of them stand out as great, the majority of them were above average. As a storyfag, I like they tried to make a good one, but it was kind of dumb overall. Some characters were great, like Cheren or Bianca, while others could've been better, like N. I would replay it from time to time, though not a lot.
The second Unova games were a great improvement, though the characters were worse. The story was a huge improvement just because it wasn't dumb. Gameplay-wise, it is the most fun, and the one I revisit the most, even if I don't consider it my favorite game.
Kalos games were good. There were a lot of things I loved, such as the new 3D graphics, Mega Evolution and customization. The new Pokemon were good as well. I liked the region aesthetically, though it felt a bit off and unrealistic. The story and most of the characters were just annoying. It was also too easy. Their also wasn't a lot of content, though I completed my Pokedex in these games, so I played for a long time. I overall liked more than I hated, but I wouldn't revisit them anytime soon.
I have mixed feelings about Alola games. I had a great time playing, probably the best, but it was because of the story, not gameplay. As far as gameplay goes, it was okay at best. The new Pokemon were underwhelming, and the region itself was a bit boring. While I liked Trails, I also like Gyms. There wasn't as much content in this too, like Contests or such. It focused on battles a lot more than any other games, though I consider that a plus. I loved the story and characters, though.
The lack of a skip button, and the fact that I already know the story are going to take out replayability, so that's something too. So I'm not sure how to feel about them.
