Oh no nonn no...you misunderstood.
We are only in the 3rd generation of Pokemon.
Original Gen1: Red/Green
Gen2: Blue/Yellow/Crystal/Ruby/Pearl..etc
Gen3: X/Y/Sun/UltraMoon/Shield

Basically, the 1st gen is the original vision, 2nd gen are improvements, and the 3rd gen coincides with the 3D era and huge shift in tone and game development.

In other words, if someone has never played pokemon and you gave them Blue, HeartGold, and UltraSun. He would grasp most of what this franchise was and has become.

That's it. Three games.

Some nice exploration, just not as good as the IOA or CT.

Massively overrated and unbalanced.
>Gen 5
Extremely overrated. History rewriters need not apply
>Gen 2
Kinda cringe. They put Murkrow and Houndour in Kanto and zoomers are upset about it just like they whined about LGPE not having their zoomer mons like Crobat or Blissey
>Gen 6
Absolute dogshit. Avoid at all costs. Laggy as fuck, near unplayable. Relies on gimmicks like megas and DexNav to sell itself.

Though really, only Kanto, Johto and Alola are genre-defining, the rest is a blob based on the first two and Galar is just downgraded Alola.

The thought process behind this is actually pretty interesting, though you've gotta be aware no one else thinks this way.

6, 3, and 8 all have different and weaknesses, so they were hard to rank, 5 and 7 are clear winners in both gameplay and story. The last 3 just aged poorly.

I think he has the right idea, but perhaps is too generous with the Gens.

Gen 1 is obviously GRBY - I don't think the patch in Japanese Blue warrants calling it the "next gen".
Gen 2 is GSC, a direct improvement on RBY mechanics, adds a ton of content and is generally a true sequel.
Anything past GSC just parrots GSC mechanics with small improvements and gimmick mechanics that don't last for more than a single game - they're not the next gens.
XY brings 3D, but still parrots GSC mechanics, so it's stuck in a weird place.
S&M finally brings change, different pace, storyline, character progression. This IS Gem 3 Pokemon.

SwSh is still Gen 3, with characters and plot points being carbon copies of S&M. Perhaps it should be called "Gen 3GO", since its obviously a more impactful game for the franchise than anything from the mainline.

Enlighten me. Please. Yes, waste your time trying to distinguish successive games into different gens just because of their miniscule differences that would be laughed at if it concerned a different franchise.

Games only (prioritizing new games over remakes):

3 > 2 > 1 => 5 > 4 > 7 > 6 > 8

Including spin-off, anime and other stuff:

3 > 4 > 2 => 1 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8

Gen 6 to 8 are the only generation I don't really like, aside for SM and the XY anime
