>>48558910>It's not revisionism to say that Gen 6 is the last of the old style games, though. It is revisionism to present Gen 6 as the "last of the old style games". Because no one thought of it this way. Everyone considered Gen 5 to be the last good gen and that the everything afterwards was bad and completely different for years, untill SwShit happened and now we have totally not kalosperms on this board that want to convince everyone that Gen 6 was actually part of the older games because of some arbitrary reasons.
Gen 6 was the last time we ever saw the >National Dex
Did you forget that the dexcut happened with Gen 8 and you could still own all Pokémon in Gen 7?
>grid-based mapsWow such a iconic Pokémon feature huh. This totally makes Gen 6 like the older generatioms. Forget about all the casualization and kanto wack off, the signature signs of the newer generations
>fishingFishing is still in the franchise retard. It's only somewhat more streamlined
>bike themesWoah, Gen 6 has bike themes? Oh god this convinced me. It's 100% like the older gens.
>gameplay that doesn't revolve entirely around some exclusive mechanic for the game...Mega evolution was literally introduced in Gen 6 anon. It absolutely shat on the simplicity of the older gens and kick-started the gimmick mania where you need some shitty powerup in every subsequent game just so you can sell shitty tacky plastic bands and rings
