>ORAS = the stab is deeper and very painful
>SM = the pain of stab is finally too overwhelming to continue
>USUM = the death is slow but certainly painful still

None of them is worse. They're all horrible in their own right.

You don't play many games then.

>XY = A welcome jump into 3D, with a fantastic engine that gave us the healthiest community and board the series has seen
>ORAS = A nice evolution of the former, with much needed innovations like the DexNav and soaring as well as the ability to surf on Pokemon and have them function differently. The dex is completely modernized and isn't left to be stale or "faithful" like FRLG tried and failed
>SM = A complete backtrack in every way, with most elements just rehashing lore from XY's beta whilst removing staple features like the National Dex
>USUM = A "complete" version that ended up somehow even worse despite the good difficulty tweaks, doesn't even function as a standalone game because it only works in reference to SM
>LGPE = A somewhat nice return to form, but a dark omen of what was to come, doubled down on the mistakes FRLG made all those years ago
>SWSH = The breaking point for a lot of people. The game is a glorified advertisement for Pokemon Home which in itself is egregious because they had already promised that Pokemon Bank would be the transfer solution. Not to mention that it was already gearing up to get GO compatibility with Gen 7 and a Switch port.
If you make a mistake and do not correct it, that is a second mistake. If you cannot see how this makes each successive game worse, then perhaps you are better suited to forums like GameFAQs or Reddit.

Yeah, it's not like you can still literally catch every pokemon in the game and the removal of national dex changed absolutely nothing. What good things did XY even do that SM backtracked on?
>USUM = A "complete" version that ended up somehow even worse despite the good difficulty tweaks, doesn't even function as a standalone game because it only works in reference to SM
It works perfectly fine as a stand-alone game, WTF? It's virtually no different from every other third version other than being two versions instead of one

It's a hard life being a swsh shill.

Every day, I face jokes and memes about models and map routes. Every day, vp attacks me with "no post game" and "linear maps". Some in our ranks even fell victim to vp and became romhack chads. Some even Smogon chads. Our numbers fall by the day. It's a hard fight.

Our messiah, Joe, keeps getting shat on for commenting on Pokemon ™ related issues. People laugh at him for praising GameFreak. It's terrible. I can't sleep. Their laughter echoes in my head long after I made it cease by closing my tabs and shutting down my computer, lest I be plagued by more jabs related to swsh.

They laugh at me for buying both versions. They laugh at me because I bought the dlc and pay for home. Sometimes I tell them, "The game is good, you probably didn't even play it!" and then they show me pictures of the wild area and gifs of bad animations. Day by day, I suffer humiliation that I bear just so I can hear my co-shills tell me that no, I am right. That swsh is the best Pokemon ™ game, maybe the best game of all time. It's terribly hard to go on. Those screenshots of the swsh beta keep me awake at night. They even plague my dreams sometimes; I dream of a world where GameFreak lied to me; that they cut the dex to sell it back to me. The thought that someday, GameFreak will release a good Pokemon ™ game with the complete dex terrifies me. But at the same time I know that such a time will never come to pass. GameFreak wouldn't lie to me, daddy Masuda wouldn't do that to me.

It's a hard life being a swsh shill.

I'm so glad I read everything before coming up with a reply.
This >>45950277 is how I feel about the franchise, but this >>45950318 is what it's actually is.

Imagine being dissatisfied with the franchise for this long and still lingering around on /vp/ instead of finding a new hobby

How does SM rehash lore from the XY beta?

Fangames and romhacks that have more effort put into them keep me here. The main series is a lost cause unless they take a course-correction.

Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night. Most of those games just copy the new pokemon and mechanics of the current gens anyway, rarely ever innovating past adding a couple of fakemon to shake things up.

Script editing beyond gen III is still impossible, anon, so only battling, QoL and a few NPC placements are added and improved, and even that is already much better than what we get in the main series. Imagine if they can do whatever the fuck they want to the game.

Genuinely curious as to why this is

They can, and they use that knowledge to make shit like TemTem.
