>>54581368>Gen 6, the worst gen, was the beginning of the decline.We know. The problem wasn't that Gen 6 was the worst when it came out or that it was the beginning of the decline, it's that Gen 7 and 8 cemented a worse direction for the series despite it being very easy for the series to get better from there
>National Dex>PSS>Absence of gimmickshit #324535All elements that could have stuck with the series and if SM, which were on the same damn hardware as XY, cared to keep them instead of going out of their way to cut shit we wouldn't be here right now.
I don't think I will ever emotionally recover from the sheer disappointment Gen 7 was after all of that hype, and how Gen 8 managed to be even worse still after years of "wait for Gen 8! The hardcore game is coming!"
Yeah, fuck off. At least I can play XY and have it feel like a Pokemon game. It will be my last choice but I wouldn't even consider SM/USUM/SWSH.
