Already wrong. You didn't have two regions, you had two half-regions that put together, are still smaller than any of the later regions.

I'm with OP on this one.
>Gen 1 is the nostalgic one, I was too young to fully appreciate it, but it's literally the OG
>Gen 2 feels weird to me, but people like it. I guess adding the dark and steel type was cool
>Gen 3 is the one I grew up with I once had an IV on my hand but still played it. Also, * trumpets *
>Gen 4 is peak for me
>Gen 5 only had a few cool designs that interest me, literally didn't care about anything else
>Gen 6 I would only play for the sake of being a 3DS game but it's kinda shit
>Gen 7 doesn't even look/feel like a Pokemon game so I didn't even bother trying it
>Gen 8 it's literal shit, even my 15 year old sister thinks it's trash and she's not even into Pokemon.

It's not even close to true.
I picked up Ultra Sun a year ago after taking 3 or 4 years off from the series and it felt totally familiar. In fact this franchise's biggest problem is that all the games are too familiar.

It only looks different on the surface. Gameplay-wise, it doesn't differ much at all. The only real "difference" is that you're fighting Totem Pokemon instead of Gym Leaders. Though the Totems ARE more challenging due to their stat buffs meaning you can't just one-shot them with a type advantage.

Also because they call for back-up so you have to fight them 1v2.
Honestly going back to gyms was a step backwards, especially since they have these raid battle mechanics now.

Totem Pokemon are fucking stupid as concept. If you like them, fine. Enjoy what you want to enjoy. But I liked the idea of gyms and a Pokemon League and instead of replacing them, they could've developed/update it. Instead now you just go to an island and fight a slightly bigger version of a Pokemon, that's just stupid

Not gonna deny that gen II Kanto isn't a full-fledged 'region' due to how trimmed it is but gen II is absolutely a much bigger game than gen I.

>smaller than any of the later regions.

Do you think that this has anything to do with the fact that it's a Game Boy game and all later games were released on much more powerful consoles?

Sun/Moon still had that. Kahunas were functionally the same as Gym Leaders, and there's still a league at the end of the game with an Elite Four to beat.

- You can see wild Pokemon in the overworld
- Gyms are returning
- Some of the new designs are really cool
- EXP Candies to train your Pokemon

Bad things about gen 8 -

- No megas
