>XY
Good: Trainer customization, PSS, biggest Regional Dex to date, beautiful region, Pokemon Amie
Bad: Forgettable characters, easy as hell, confusing story if you don't have external sources of information, games weren't fixed like every previous gen (and SM)
>DP
Good: Amazing region, interesting characters,
Bad: Horrible Pokemon roster, most Pokemon with new evolutions had to be transfered, slow as hell, Saving a lot of data
>GS
Good: Aesthetically great, two regions in one, new evolution, many great mechanics, fixed bag, great rival
Bad: Level curve is horrendous, Pokemon distribution is weak, both regions feel empty, Team Rocket was simply bland and pathetic, extremely relies on Kanto to work for basically everything
>RS
Good: Contests, secret bases, double battles, nice region, started the current mechanics
Bad: Didn't use the full potential of the GBA, lost many features from previous gens, couldn't transfer from previous games, absolutely no postgame besides Battle Tower, basically no content
>SM
Good: Alolan forms, Z-Moves, balanced many Pokemon, great graphics jump, some trials were Ok
Bad: No National Dex, Rotomdex is a waste of pixels, everyone holds your hand, Lillie is the main character of the games, underwhelming Ultra Beasts story, shitty trainer customization, shitty rival, infinite cutscenes, soulless character, ridiculous Poke Ride suit
>RBGY
Good: Classic games, actually challenging rival, simple but effective story, nice villain team, first concept
Bad: Awful sprites, PC boxes were absolute garbage, horrendous battle mechanics, glitchfest, only 20 items inside the bag (including Key Items or TMs)
>Let's Go!
Good: Rideable Pokemon
Bad: No held items, no abilities, no wild battles, shit rival, only made for pandering, took away over 750 Pokemon, made retardly easy, downgraded graphics, shitty hand holding, still emotionless characters, the same region for the 5th time
