Have you ever devloped any Stockholm Syndrome for a generation once it ends? I didn't like Gen 4 at first, but now I really like it a lot. I didn't like Gen 6 or 7 either, but looking at them now, they're not that terrible. Flawed, but not bad either. On the other hand, I loved Gen 5 at the start, but I'm now burnt out by it and don't care for it anymore.
Gen 8 can go kill itself though, I'll always hate that dumpster fire
