>>35648800The jump to 3D with gen 6 understandably meant the overall quality would suffer in some areas like post game and new Poke quantity, however it was also offensively lacking in other elements which bring down the whole experience such as weaker music, absolutely terrible story and characters and ultimately the lack of difficulty. Gen 7 improves a lot of these aspects but doesn't come anywhere near close to the quality of Gen 4 and 5 and continues to further railroad the game, even removing dungeons entirely. Where Gens 1-5 made you feel like an independent kid on an adventure, buying your own supplies, catching your own Pokemon, Gen 6 and 7 make you feel like a bubblerap kid who can't walk too far away from mommy, always receiving goodies from the adults. This was my TED talk thank you.
