>People are actually looking back at the positives of Gen 6 and Let’s Go

How much of a fuck up was Sword and Shield that Gen 6 actually looks appealing?
>Still had caves and dungeons
>Customization was the best with previews
>The PPS was the best online setup
>Mega evolutions was more appealing than Gigantamaxing
>Still had the GTS
>Roller Skates were more fun than Bikes

Pokémon Amie was also more personal since you could actually pet them and feed them and play mini games with them, not just watch them from a distance and wave a stick

It boggles my mind how Gamefreak somehow put more effort in their first 3D Pokémon game with X and Y. They even had every single fucking Pokémon model future proofed specifically so they can be EASIER in the future

And yet Sword and Shield couldn’t even match the same effort, to a game from 6 fucking years ago.
I swear to god if Iwata was alive man....

There are people in their 20s that started with Gen 6.

Gen 6 had the PSS, the Dexnav, and the return of secret bases (yes, i love them)
It certainly started with the generational gimmick trend an started the downhill of the franchise, but it also had its nice contributions (absolute shame they were later dissapeared)

Anon, even if not to the scale of mega, that shit was going on well before gen 6

To be fair, SWSH’s new form selling point was the Galrian evolutions, not just Gigantamaxing

I still agree with you, just pointing that out

>day/night has made appearances in most games and friendship has been a mechanic in all
>Abilities and double battles are still a core part of battling today
>Physical/special split was a genius idea and still remains integral to battling today
>Triple and Rotation battles were not necessary, but pretty damn fun, and is it Gen V's fault they never came back? Or Gen VI's fault?

I don't see your point. New games introduce new mechanics. XY were the first ones to flagrantly disregard the previous gen's donations and set the trend of having shitty one-off gameplay gimmicks.

Only gen 5's gimmicks ended being just gimmicks instead of becoming features, since they didn't come back

Roller Blades were fun but nowhere near as good as bikes.. Gen 6 did it right by having both unlike gen 7 which just replaced the bike with something worse.

Galar was somehow even more linear than Alola, literally no other puzzles outside Gyms allowed

Not even a villain base, atleast Alola had Po Town, you had a a fucking Elevator

The roller skates were pretty shitty honestly. But at least you didn’t have to wear a clown suit while on your bike.

I find that hard to believe. If that were the case, you would've had to get into the series at age 13, minimum, which is well past the target audience. I'm 20, and the big game when I was a kid was HG/SS and B/W.

I started at 15 with Red though. Fact is people outside the target range do pick up Pokémon for the first time each Gen. Just 'cause it didn't happen you, doesn't mean it never does.

yeah, fair enough, but it seemed like the guy was implying that the "X/Y kids" were coming of age.

The fact that Let’s Go actually looks cleaner than SWSH and the fact that it’s a barebones remake of a 20+ year old game that is still less linear than SWSH is disgusting

The perception that people are forgiving gen 6 and 7 is wrong, mostly everyone still agrees that 3d was the drop off, but SwSh is forcing a lot of people to realize that at least those gens had SOME of the stuff that made them worth playing.

Doesn’t really change the main idea that SWSH’s quality is causing people to appreciate Gen and 7 more
