>>58578471What generation is better on the whole?
>Gen 1 barely functions even if that's part of the fun at this point>Gen 2 is solid and is probably the closest but still scuffed and HGSS is better in every way that matters>Gen 3 has RS with an ass overworld style and just kind of ends and FRLG being insanely inconsistent>Gen 4 is dragged down by the existence of DP>Gen 6 has XY with an ass overworld style and kind of ends while having a less fun campaign than RS and ORAS being actively worse than RS in several ways>Gen 7 has the abysmal cutscenes that make it miserable to replay in the game with the most fun campaign to replay>lol Gen 8>Gen 9 is borderline experimental and only works when it's actually linear which means the experimentation didn't pay offCompare that to Gen 5 which is fine in basically every way with very little actively wrong with it and it unfortunately is the best overall generation, even if individual titles like HGSS, Emerald, or USUM are better in most or at least some ways.
