For some reason since Gen 5 the main-series Pokémon games have declined.

Sidenote- Some how Pokemon Black and White and their sequels are simultaneously good and bad. I can't pinpoint what it is.

XY failed to deliver:
-enough new Pokemon
-extra explorable areas after the main game
-postgame content

ORAS Failed to deliver:
-BATTLE FRONTIER!
-VS Seeker or Gym Leader rematches; the rematches for trainers was poorly executed

SM failed to deliver:
-POST GAME!
-Extra explorable areas other than a portion of Poni Island

USUM doesn't look promising.

Has anyone else noticed a decline?

Game Freak is turning Pokemon into Final Fantasy, story wise, which is why there's little post game/effort put into game balancing.

It's declining because Game Freak is not competent enough to handle a franchise this big, and with new hardware and higher expectations it gets increasingly obvious.
Switch will make or break the series, but they already told people to not have high expectations, so not looking good already.

Game Freak hired new employees for the Switch game, so I don't think that's the case.

So did I but that's because of the PSS and the general online community pre-bank, it was glorious. The game itself was very weak, and BW2 runs circles around it in every aspect.

Pokemon it's an experience to me. So when I say x and y was more fun. The atmosphere was more fun. My 40 dollars I got my money worth.

Gen 5 just awkward phrase. I didn't like it at all. Bw2 main story was worse than sun and moon I felt and I didn't even like sub and moon. Post game is only fun if you can through main story

But all the 3DS games are better than all the gen 5 games, anon. BW/2 added absolutely nothing meaningful or lasting to the formula and were quickly forgotten- triple/rotation battles lasted a mere 1 generation past their debut before being rightly removed as a gimmick like contests before them.

Is it really surprising? It's pretty much what always happens with any major franchise like Pokemon. They chase after the masses, valuing profit over quality, and in the process they forget about the core elements that made them a success in the first place. Instead they become a generic title, just as bland as the next, that tries to focus on many things done poorly, rather than one thing done great.

Pokemon was never about the story, or saving the world. It was always about being a Pokemon trainer. Trying to win the league and catch them all, but yeah.. Now it's an almost generic rpg, that happens to take place in the Pokemon world.

Why are you getting so personal? I haven't blamed any games in particular myself. But if you're asking why more people seem angry at the latest games; the simple answer is that the story elements have become much more prolific and extravagant. While battling mechanics, and battle features have been simplified.

Did you even read the OP. When did I get personal. Stop being a pussy.

Black and white is where the heavy emphasis of story came from. That was my only point

I read the original post, but i'm not OP myself. I agree with you though, it did start sooner. But it's definitely gotten worse.

I honestly wonder how long it will be before they just give your character a sword and shield, or some kind of laser weapon, and just have the Pokemon be your support characters, while you go off saving the world from whatever generic evil exists.
