When you think about it, Pokemon is really like Spongebob
>Gen/Seasons 1-3 are the golden age, with Gen/Season 3 being the best and the most memetic one
>Gen/Season 4 starts the decline, though it still has HGSS/Krusty Towers as its sole saving grace
>Gen/Season 5 is even shittier than Gen/Season 4, but not as bad as everything that came after
>Gen/Season 6 is the absolute nadir of the entire franchise, a complete shitshow that only a braindead retard could enjoy
>Gen/Season 7-8 are zombie-tier, a little better than their previous installments but still awful
