How many gens would it take for them not to be considered 'nu-gen' by many?
>It's been almost 12 years since these games released in Japan

Never. This gen will forever be part of "then vs. now Pokemon design" memes.

Gen 5 will always be considered a soft reboot of the franchise, just because BW has an entirely new regional dex and these are the first games to take place outside of Japan.
Personally I think we have so many eras of Pokémon now that it is hard to classify anything as old gen. The only games that felt like old gen were Gens 1 and 2.

Gen 5 was fully animated and will be the break off from the originals to new.
I would say:
Classics

>gen 2
>gen 3

New
>gen 5
>gen 6
(S)w(h)(i)(t)ch
>gen 7

It really is though. Do you really think Sword and Shield are better than X and Y? Game Freak actually had to put the effort to model the Pokemon in 3D for Gen 6. At least you could catch every pokemon without DLC? All the Switch Pokemon games have been terrible.

This is wrong in multiple ways. Most of the models existed in spinoffs and were ported or slightly edited, and the same goes for most of the animations. Only Gen 6 Pokemon needed work put in. Even then, none of this work was done by Gamefreak. It was done by Creatures Inc.

This, it's like saying PS2 is a "retro" console, gen 3 is the cutoff for me because putting it in the same era as 5 just feels fucking weird.

Nu-gen simply means "Came after the Pokémon game I grew up with."
Gen 5 is being argued as not nu-gen because people that grew up with it are of age now. Nobody tries to discern what makes an era in the franchise, which there is almost always only two of; classic and nu-gen.

Gen 5 was literally designed as a soft reboot for the entire franchise.
If there was ever a clear line in the sand between old-gen and nu-gen it would be Black and White.

Thing is they had to completely reverse course for gen 6 (and even somewhat for BW2) which put us into the gimmicky, Kanto-pandering, all-experience, linear formula we know now.
Gen 5 is neither the first nu-gen nor the last old-gen. It's the bar between them, but nobody wants a third category so they keep clumping it into one or the other.

Never going to happen.
In fact, as time keeps passing, the bar for what starts as "nu-gen" will become more and more blurred until solely the original Japanese releases of Pokemon Red and Green are considered "classic Pokemon" while JP Blue onward are "nu-Pokemon".

Gen 5 is probably always going to be the weird middle point- it’s either the end of the old or the beginning of the new, depending on how you view it. I personally think of it as the grand finale of the “original” Pokemon.
