>>52111306>Gen 2-4Dark ages of the franchise. Pokemania has run it’s course and familiarity bred contempt. Everyone was calling it shit because it wasn’t popular to play and anyone playing it over the age of 12 were outcast.
>Gen 5 transition period between 2D and 3D games. A reset of the franchise which targeted an older/aging fanbase. Called shit by older players for having elements similar to gen one, called shit shit by younger players to avoid the sheer mediocrity of the 3D games. Will likely be blindly praised to shit when a remake comes out.
>Gen 6First real 3D games. certain features present in the games are left out or forgotten. Focus shifts entirely to a more casual player base and the idea is to make the games as easy for players as possible. Called shit because it’s the first gen that feels like things are blatantly left out when they could’ve been included. You can see the philosophy behind these games shift during X/Y. The first two gyms are perfectly paced and then it’s a blitz down various hallways to the finish.
>Gen 7-8Go is released and Pokémon becomes cool again via nostalgia. It is now a major fad and can sell itself on name alone. By Gen 8 GF no longer has to try and can hide a good chunk of its game behind DLC and will keep testing waters on how barebones it can keep it’s initial release while still being kept afloat by fad hopping consoomers. Fans think the games are shit but are outnumbered tremendously by mindless fanboys/girls. GF will continue to sell its scams as long as people continue to fall for them.
>Gen 9I can’t say much about it as I dropped after moon but it easily has the worst designed characters of any Gen by a landslide.
