Generation V is the point where new moves started to feel out of place for me.
Gen I: Tackle, Hyper Beam, Hydro Pump, Fire Blast, Psychic, Thunder, Earthquake
Gen II: Zap Cannon, Curse, Magnitude, Belly Drum, Flame Wheel, Outrage, Sandstorm
Gen III: Leaf Blade, Overheat, Muddy Water, Volt Tackle, Calm Mind, Facade, Aerial Ace
Gen IV: Close Combat, Flare Blitz, Thunder Fang, Luster Cannon, Poison Jab, Aqua Jet, Draco Meteor
And Gen V+ moves just all kinda meld together to me as extraneous and just there. But all those other moves feel distinct to their Generation. When I saw them as a kid, I thought that they fit each Gen's "flavor".
