>>56789305>When they started doing open world?I know I'm going to sound dumb, but: since the beginning? I know you can't walk everywhere or go through the forest because there's a fence blocking your path. But I feel is "open" in the same sense old RPGs were open: you have towns, paths, and dungeons. Is true, you don't have an overworld, but you can walk through the areas between towns. I feel that counts.
>When they started dexit?Around Gen 3, but Gen 8 cemented it.
>When the rival stopped picking the strong starter?Gen 7
>When they started putting battle gimmicks?Around 2, because you have more defensive/buff moves, but a proper gimmick was created in Gen 6 (Mega)
>When they moved out of japan?Gen 5 (USA)
>When they introduced the physical/special split?Gen 4
>When they introduced natures?Gen 3
>When they split the special stat?Gen 2. Gen 1 was only 1 Special stat, so the Psychic type Pokémon were busted.
