A day that sees Gen 7 praised is a day you don't want because it means the newer ones are even worse. They brought a few good changes but they are objectively the worst games so if they are ever liked more than another Gen in general, you've simply got a bad game on your hands because S/M? Were good games but are more correctly called just barely not bad games.
