Gen 1: Same as RBYG
Gen 2: Combat damage/crits are calculated through timed button presses
Gen 3: select a place to travel to that location, wander through closed location to battle real-time
Gen 4: Heavy incorporation of touch screen in combat, walking, using objects. other than that, has potential to return to gen 1/gen 2 mechanics
Gen 5: Pokemon Ranger does not exist as its own game and instead B/W/B2/W2 has Ranger core mechanics in gameplay; the more you damage wild pokemon, the less circles you have to do in order to capture
Gen 6: Focus is more on base building and defense than pokemon battling, thus Pokemon battles are uncommon and heavily stripped down
Gen 7: No Pokebakks nor combat with wild Pokemon. To get Pokemon, choose a Tapu to control as you wander the wild, solve puzzles, talk to Pokemon, and find hidden Pokemon to recruit
