>>48802890>Why are you people so addicted to this trash?because Gen 2 spritework is beautiful and it had Apricorns which let you make your own Pokeballs
because Gen 3 is probably has the most amount of good romhacks due to its age and accessibility
because Gen 4 had the physical/special split, GTS, Sinnoh Underground, Voltorb Flip, and following Pokemon
because Gen 5 was the first gen with something that even remotely resembled a good story and the last gen to give an iota of a fuck about worldbuilding
because Gen 6 has arguably one of the best regional dexes and was the first gen to introduce something that nudged the standard Pokemon formula away from the norm in Mega Evolution, only for it to get binned post-3DS era
because Gen 7 took that needed big step to deviate from the gold standard with island trials and totem Pokemon, only for innovation to cease immediately after
because almost every single spin-off game in the franchise has ten times more soul put into it than whatever mainline game was in stores at the same time
