>>43301797Gen 5 is the only one that dialled it back with a more character driven story rather than muh big stakes
6 was a life/death duo, which might not quite be God-tier legendaries, but the introduction of Megas/Primals that pushed Mewtwo/Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza to new bullshit heights (overtaking Arceus on BST) was some serios powercreep - both in lore and in-game
7 introduced a fucking MULTIVERSE and Ultra Necrozma, probably the most powerful Pokemon you battle in the games at any point
8 was a bit weird because the dogs are underwhelming as fuck but Eternamax Eternatus is another Ultra Necrozma but times a million
