I replayed each generation of mainline Pokemon to see if they were as good as I remember. Here are my thoughts, i'd like to hear what others think; even if you only recently replayed one game.

>Blue (Kanto):
BEFORE: It doesn't hold up well today; play either set of remakes for a better time.
AFTER: There is a charm to it nostalgia and limitations, but still feel the same about it.

>Silver (Johto):
BEFORE:I remember liking GSC, I wonder if it still holds up?
AFTER: Yeah, it does. I'm honestly surprised how much I enjoyed this revisit. I'd probably recommend HGSS or even Crystal before this, but still a pretty solid entry.

>Ruby (Hoenn)
BEFORE: I remember this being one of the good ones.
AFTER: This is one of the good ones...until you get to Lilycove...Also, it took me replaying this game to realize it's kind of a downgrade compared to gen 2.

>Diamond (Sinnoh):
BEFORE: The last of the greats.
AFTER: HOLY SHIT THESE ARE AWFUL! They might actually be the worst: everything is slow, they made a worse version of defog, type variety sucks. Man...

>White (Unova):
BEFORE: I hated gen 5. I remember pre-ordering it, getting 2 gyms in and putting it down
AFTER: They're alright actually.

>White 2:
BEFORE: Didn't play this before because gen 5 left a bad taste in my mouth.
AFTER: These are my 2nd favourite games in the series.

>Y (Kalos):
BEFORE: Beat them them in 48 hours of release, never though about them again.
AFTER: Can see why; i'm so bored I can't get past the 2nd gym due to boredom.

Moon/UltraMoon(Alola):
BEFORE: I love Alola!
AFTER: Gen 7 bros...I really tried, I even switched to ultra version in hopes that it was better...I'm so bored. And that hurts to admit.

>Shield (Galar):
BEFORE: These are the worst games!
AFTER: I'm...kinda having fun? It still isn't great even with DLC; 5/10 at best.
