>>36902344>downward spiralliterally a lie: the only time better to keep with the franchise was during poké-mania in the late 90s but that was before you were born, lately the only negative has been toxic shitposters like you, as the quality is surprisingly decent to such a long series.
>taking risksThats the first clue you never played the games that you lie that got "worse", gen 7 for example pushed the envelope way more than the previous 5 gens while bw, while good, was quite safe, only risk was the new dex. Shame since you're dissing sm, which was a great game compared to gen 4 for example. And speaking of that..
>wah muh ds eraSo because of the size of your posts and the fact that you're flat out inventing things to complain that werent there (as its already proven you dont play pokemon despite pretending to complain about them) you're either a paid sony shill or a teenager that grew in the late 2000s. The mains games since 2013 have been as good to way better than what we got in mid to late 2000 as anyone that actually play teh series can tell you.
Doesnt matter if your being paid to repeat this or if you really are deluded into thinking your childhood memories meant you ever liked pokemon and you not feeling like a baby anymore doesnt mean the games got worse, the only "noticeable drop" is in the posting quality thanks to shitposters like you who know nothing about pokemon yet force themselves here).
The only "husk" is the kind of teenager that complains about game series they never checked thinking they own it just because you emulated fucking pearl once in your family's pc. Now take your autism wall back to a place like redit where users may be still young and guillible enough to take you seriously, and don't bring those /v/ tier friend comparisions here, its cringy enough what you did in that board.
