Stop bitching about games you never played, "chasmang". You already have so many alt accounts in so many sites to do just that.

And it you're going to pretend to be a genwunner again for the street cred, try emulating those games before at least.

The fuck are you talking about? Is paranoia a symptom of your obsessive autism? I'm not who you say you are, and I have played a main game of every single generation.

Honestly I love every region except kanto but that's probably because it's just so bland and has remained bland every time it's popped up

Gen 2

>Added the most features that we still have (genders, held items, breeding, pokerus, shinies, egg moves, day/night, rematches, dark+steel, mystery gift, move pokemon in pc...the list goes on)
>Could have done more with revamped Kanto

Gen 3
>Addition of Natures and simplification of EVs/IVs
>Cool non-story legendaries
>Disliked the Hoenn region + most gen 3 Pokemon

Gen 4
>Brought back that clean level of polish
>Physical/Special split
>Power Creep left most of the previous gens BTFO

Gen 5
>Tons of new Pokemon
>Animated sprites
>Too many forgettable Pokemon

Gen 6
>Full 3D game
>Professor Sycamore + his music
>Megas didn't fix power creep, just made it worse

Gen 7
>Level of polish in this game is unprecedented
>Feels like a breathing world, it's a captivating region
>Cutscenes really took me out of the game

Gens 4-7 cons
>Too much power creep
>Too many legendaries for the sake of legendaries
>Pokemon Company wanting to have a serious esport following, but being unable to balance their mistakes from gens prior and resorting to the same thing they do with their tcg. Power up every new thing or risk it never being used.

Assuming Gen=Region, not including SM and splitting Gen V in two:
>Gen I: +Champion reveal -Bland region
>Gen II: +Red fight -A bit of a rehash of Gen I
>Gen III: +Diverse ecosystem -Emerald never got the remake it deserved, so BF is stuck with Gen III mechanics
>Gen IV: +Pacing of the story and region through Mt. Coronet's hub -Slow animations
>BW1: +Story/Only new Pokémon -The need for many Pokémon made lots of them a bit uninspired
>BW2: +PWT -Story is a step back
>Gen VI: +Lysandre/Customization -No meaningful postgame outside of Looker
