>>56587992Honestly their journey has been kinda bumpy since Gen V.
>Gen VWas shat on at the time, so they made Kalos >Gen VI
Super Kanto-heavy to be safe but region lacks identity as a result, feels more like a best hits sorta region
>Gen VIIDid the same for Alola while making sure that it at least had more identity and more unique mons. But Ohmori took over which shifted the vibe of the games. And we moved away from the grid map style. Not to mention Go revitalized the series hugely
>Gen VIII First game on Switch. Similar to Alola but they carried on cutting down on dungeons, optional areas, cities etc... unpopular games in the Pokemon community. but sold well so they won't care
>Gen IXWe're living it.
