>Gen I: The original, good but a bit too primitive >Gen II: The future of the francise, better than the original every way, most the flaws had been worked out, ambitious and only limited by the hardware of the time >Gen III: The new kid, builds on the Gen II metric, adds a couple of good mechanics, but the pokemon roster/region/style lacked the personality to truly stand out, tried a little too hard with design trying to find its own identity and appeal to a younger audience now that Gen II started to grow up >Gen IV: The sweet spot, further added to the Gen II metric but came with a more nuanced and balanced approach, designs and styling aiming back at the original fans and didn't try so hard to be cool/edgy, the hardware was the perfect situation for a game in the original pokemon format, the closest a pokemon game has gotten to perfect. >Gen V: The new kid 2.0, Gen V was to Gen IV as Gen III was to Gen II, still decent but not a classic or standout, also the beginning of the end >Gen VI: The new frontier, still a decent game but desperately trying to and failing find an identity in the new 3D world, first true shark jump from pokemon with megas >Gen VII: The downward spirial, took Gen VI and doubled down on all aspects including shark jumping, lots of soulless rehashing and dumbing down, targeting the zoomers who have no real interest in pokemon rather than the core fans, arguably the worst core games >Gen VIII: The distant relative, not really a pokemon game like the rest, can't fairly be compared, and thats not a bad thing, its just a different sort of game, the original series is now done

RS caused a shitstorm as big as Swoshi. No day/night, no transfering, no back to Kanto postgame

>>48759256 So? There are a billion other games where you can play in it, several remakes of it, and at the time (gen 3) it had already been playable in 6 games, plus frlg came out soon after. Kanto not being in the Hoenn games sounds like a retarded criticism

>>48759121 > Gen II and IV didn't have regional bugs What are Ledyba/Spinarak and Kricketot, Burmy or Combee, and don't say it's because they only evolve once cause you can just look at the regional dogs to see that's bullshit since otherwise Lillipup shouldn't be included.

Contrary to op I liked gen 7 the most out of the last 3 generations... XY was boring, SwSh feels cheap and rushed, but SM actually had an atmosphere and a "soul"

>>48759121 Gen VI's almost complete lack of legendaries still baffles me, honestly one of the biggest reasons the region felt unfinished to me.

a lot of kids will say exactly the same but with sword and shield, just because you didn't care doesn't mean the shitstorm wasn't there you fucking retard.

>>48759121 What is the stupid meme about hoenn being edgy and trying too hard? I have already seen it multiple times here but gen 4 is the first really edgy pokemon game, sinnoh have lucario, giratina, weavile and darkrai + the story is really over the top and stupid especially in platinum

>>48759568 I think it's good in context, IF you're going to have a very small dex it's wasteful to make 10%+ of them one-of-a-kind gods

>>48759717 I suppose so, but it just made the entire place feel devoid of history. It literally had a more elaborate and explicit history than most regions and even then it just felt like there was nothing if you were to dig any deeper. Especially when the only optional one there was given no context until the generation after.

Troll thread and I'm not even a Kantoshitter. Kanto has a surprising amount of decent designs looking back on but Johto is Gen VIII tier of garbage rejected designs.

>>48759121 >and didn't try so hard to be cool/edgy Agree with you on Gen 3, but how can you say with a straight face that the Gen that gave us emo Mukuhawk, the Distortion World, moves like Close Combat and Brave Bird, and overdesigned, armor-clad, Digimon-esque deities of Time and Space wasn't the most "edgy"? Gen 3 was when the designs tanked but they only got uglier and edgier in Gen 4 and 5. Unova literally has the ugliest Dex overall apart from Galar.
