Alright fags, time to spice up the boring genwar threads a bit.
What's the latest gen you will consistently play? Not which is your favourite, or most hated. Just the latest one you'll actually play for more than a few hours.
Honestly, Gen 5. Not because I'm a zoomer who thinks seasons and the PWT save a literal circular region. Just that it's the last gen to really include any content to make up for taking something else out. If OR/AS had the Frontier and leader rematches I would've stopped there happily enough.

I've found I intensely dislike returning to pre-3DS gens, finding them incredibly sludgey and clunky and even then, I don't actually re-play the game, just use them to facilitate shiny-hunting a particular pokémon, if it's not too arse of a spawn.

Gen 7, after that everything else feels incomplete & lackluster

Err, meant the 3DS games there at that last bit. Honestly felt like a chore playing UM after US, so I don't restart and replay alt playthroughs any more.

Nothing pre-gen 7.
Things like HM, Grinding, IV/EV training are things that needs to die and vanish.

As much as I hate it, gen 8. Mostly because its easier to build teams for online when you don't have to mindlessly mash a for hours. Second is gen 5 because I just enjoy playing them.
SwSh still sucks though

I replay pokemon games main story a lot but BW2 and johto games (if you count Kanto as postgame) are the only games where I really play any postgame on replay.
In terms of which one I revisit the most, I actually replay BW1 more than BW2, and I replay FRLG and XY a lot too.
FRLG is probably the game I replay the most. No interruptions, good teams you can make, not too horribly outdated movesets despite being pretty old now (at worst you have to grind coins for a TM or two) and good speed. I like it graphically too even though this board says its ugly as sin.
Plus GBA is comfy, I find the GBA SP to probably be the most comfy handheld to hold and play, moreso than any DS.
Whenever I think about replaying a pokemon game I always just wanna replay FRLG first and foremost. I've used almost every Kanto pokemon on a replay team now except Chansey and a couple water types.

Gen 4, because Battle Frontier gives me something to actually work towards but also there's a physical / special split and breeding is even remotely possible. That being said it's a bit rough to play games before gen 5 where they decided to actually speed up the battle system.

8. Like watching my female protagonist move, distribution is unbelievable, Camp lets me comfily watch everyone play, Max Raids and the expansion along with convenient box access, which I have physically, give me reason to catch more Pokemon for the first time in a decade and I love fucking with them in the Wild Area or seeing curiously walk up to my character.

Hate the wild and trainer battle music, though. I'm USED to it now, but it's shit.

Hard to say, I've spent the last two years replaying older titles to refresh my perspective on them.

I can say BW2 shocked me in quality once I was able to really familiarize myself with that game. The first time I played it on release I just sped through it and put it down after beating the main game.
I can give some brief conclusions about some of the games I've replayed
>HGSS
Very enjoyable, especially with a Pokewalker, some of the meme Johto criticisms have a grain of truth to them, but overall a great time
>BW1
Average. Has decent exploration and the other things I look for, but the limit of only Unovamons really hurts the encounter tables
>BW2
Amazing, spectacular. Every area has interesting routes and Pokemon. Many optional areas and secrets. Peak of the series
>XY
Still has some of the og Pokemon magic, definitely very flawed, but the encounter tables and region dex have never been surpassed in sheer quantity. I ended up liking it a lot despite its flaws
>FRLG
Solid in almost every way. Good routes, good mons, and I fucking love the Sevii Isles
>USUM
It really is a handholdy, hallway, cutscene sim most of the time, but the amount of activities in the postgame are worth it. Definitely a replacement for regular SM
>Emerald
Solid in almost every way, with a few small annoyances, like the item limit in the Bag. Has a sense of wonder and adventure I've felt in no other game, but I understand that's probably bias

Basically, I fuckin love Pokemon and understand them better now

Gen as a whole or game? If Gen then 4 is where I would draw the line as Platinum and HGSS are ridiculously fun and the spin-offs are still great too. If just the game counts though, then BW2 specifically, not the first as I cannot go back to them. The lack of variety of Mons route to route (or even trainer to trainer) really killed the game for me on my last revisit.

Agree. BW needed Machop, Zubat and Geodude spammed everywhere like the "incredibly fun" Platinum. Maybe throw in five or six roamers including the KANTOOO birds instead of just one of the Genies/Kamis.

I can't replay any mainline game. I don't think I could even play any of them for the first time.
There just isn't any fun in them for me that I can't also have simply browsing fanart or playing spin-offs.

Gen 8. The game's story is the weakest in the series, even worse then gen 1 which was basically "get the fuck out of my house and do something with your life." But it has some of the best quality of life changes to actual gameplay as in up to date moves and pokemon abilities, easy to level up Pokemon with the candies you get from dens, and the ability to change natures with mints if you actually give a damn about that. Just wish it had megas in it still but that's the least of the flaws for gen 8

XY and ORAS. Utilities in this game are very well design and convenient for my playstyle. If I want to play comfy mini-games with my Pokemon to pass the time I can. If I want to EV Train I can do it whenever I want. If I want to do some light trading or even Random Battles with people I can hook up with them almost immediately. I have the Battle Chateau and 3v3 Battle Restaurants for casual battles against the CPU. Berry Field is a nice farming simulator with cozy music. Battle Maison is blessed for letting me take breaks between matches. There's just a ton of shit to these games that's very convenient and easy to replay.

XYORAS of course is also the last game to have a formal National Dex where I could collect all Pokemon from every game, check out their Pokedex entries and earn the diploma (I like how you can actually hang up your earnings on your secret base in ORAS). Looking back at my old collection almost feels sad now that the Dexcut is a thing. 3DS is the last stop.

Gen 1 is good, but i've also played it to death.

Counting PS!, Gen III.

If BDSP hadn't died aside from OU, then maybe that too; don't care for Gen IV much though, and even less so for everything after that.

Gen III feels the most balanced with the least gay shit, which nu-gens have more and more of.

Gen 4 for me. Love HGSS and Sinnoh. I like the walking pokemon sprites, music and cozy atmosphere of both games, playing with Sinnoh's VS Seeker, collecting pokemon in both, and their postgames.

I'm IV breeding in HGSS, not sure why i'm subjecting myself to this torcher but it actually feels somewhat possible at least for 3-4IV
I just wish they streamlined the breeding system earlier than 6

gen 6 (XY), but only with absurdly restrictive challenge rules
as for regular runs, gen 5 (mostly the original games, though I do b2w2 on occasion too)
