Is Gen 6 part of the golden era?

It really was Pokemon Go to the polls / Gen 7 when things started to go downhill.

Falseflag thread. Actual Gen 6 fans don't lie about things like post-game. Stop making us look bad.

gen 6 bit off more than it could chew with the 3d model dip, i will always give that high regards.
but gen 6 failed because of it. everything else was half baked. and falls into the gen 2 trap, of large amounts of filler mons that are garbage.

If you were to tally up the post-game content within each gen, you’ll realize it ranks highly. Especially when you include the dark ages of Gens 7-9, where they stopped creating anything of the sort.

Gen 6 actually was completely cut content for Z, which never came to fruition since they wanted Sun/Moon out for the 25th anniversary, which is a decision that has led us to the decline we see today

It's very good for a first game of a generation, but it's not enough compared to other enhanced versions, which is completely reasonable.

>>52413916
Yeah. Aside from the obvious things that are liked such as the PSS, megas, or its pokemon introduced, I thought it had strong storytelling in some areas, and memorable difficulty spikes in its NPC encounters.

Imagine if gen 6 had cut Pokemon instead of making models for all of them just because they couldn't be bothered. It was unthinkable back then. What changed?

actually it's because Game Freak got burnt out working on annual Pokemon releases and decided to make other games for 2016 like Pocket Card Jocky
Sun and Moon is irrelevant, especially following the leaks that Game Freak had patents filed for 2 more Kalos games but never capitalized on producing any other versions

Which caused the games to lag and the future proofing didn't help the consumer one ioda because the corporate shitstains cut the dex anyways.

The models were too high quality for the 3ds to even display that was done so that they had the whole natdex ready to go for any future console. They then cut the dex meaning we suffered hours of lag for nothing.

Plus the models were created in gen 5 for the Pokédex 3D Pro app on 3DS, which was released at the time of BW2.

People like me who bought it basically paid the 3D modeling Creatures Inc did before gen 6 even released.

It's Masuda's last game, and follows similar conventions to older games.

Quoted By:

It absolutely was not the golden age, but it also wasn't the beginning of the end. It had lots of new ideas (megas, fairies, 3D), but it suffered in a lot of ways (general feeling of being unfinished, which is subjective, but I do remember a lot of criticism about areas like the desert where it seemed there were intended areas to explore that were instead inaccessible).

You could say it was the beginning of the pacing issues of future games or the beginning of pandering to fans of past generations (Kanto starter distribution, forced Mega Lucario battle), but I think the latter actually got better in future gens, and Gen 6 felt like a reaction to the backlash of having no past-gen mons in BW1.

Gen 7 had way more inaccessible areas that looked like they were meant to be explored and a lot more roadblocks and long, unskippable expository cutscenes.

It's hard to say. I do feel like they try SOMETHING new each gen while letting other things fall into the trash, so it makes each gen look better in some ways than the past and worse in other ways (very obvious this gen).

Maybe the switch to 3D just doomed them, but I think the number of Pokemon was the ultimate downfall. I had previously thought that they should eventually have smaller, curated Pokemon selections each gen, and when they announced they were doing that in Gen 8, I was kinda looking forward to seeing what they'd do with the extra dev time, but they just didn't do shit with it honestly. They angered a lot of fans under the guise of wanting to create a better game, but they just didn't deliver.

All in all, Gen 6 and 7 tried their best, but Gen 8 was the beginning of the end. The golden age will never include a 3D game, though. They were a time of growing pains that eventually led to a catastrophic hormonal imbalance, but those same growing pains could've led to a well-adjusted individual. They just didn't, unfortunately.
