I grew up playing gens 1-3 but I think 1-5 were all good.
I'm not a big fan of 6, and 7 made me decide that I'm done with pokemon.

Each Pokemon game is decent to great individually, but the series overall got so stale that fans unironically debate questions like "which tree will the professor who lives next to the player character be named after?" and "what Chinese zodiac sign will the fire starter be based on?"

I only ever finished Gen 1 when it came out. Since then I've started and immediately dropped every single pokemon from gen 2 to gen 6. I'm just not autistic enough for that shit.

Enough people exist outside the sphere of nostalgic influence to say that Gen 6 marked a noticeable decline overall in the games.

They did. It was called Unova and the lot of you began shrieking like banshees over how Pokemon was "ruined", so after enough bitching you got your wish and pivotes the entire series towards nonstop Kanto pandering. I hope it was worth it.

>> No.8705114

Gens 1-5 all have redeeming factors. 5 might be pretty polarizing but it did at least come the closest to having a serious challenge.
Gen 6 and onwards have no redeeming quality. The 'pokemon cycle' literally stopped happening, there are no Gen 6 or 7 apologists coming out of the woodwork and SwSh at least are openly reviled.
t. Started with Gen 1 and fell off after Gen 4.

Pokemon was never good, it's a product of really strong branding. Not just the games but also cards and a popular anime (that is so ingrained in western culture that many people don't realize it's an anime).
Pick a random JRPG out of a hat and it will almost certainly be mechanically deeper, more challenging, more aesthetically pleasing, and better written than any Pokemon game.

I always hated how subsequent generations made Legendary Pokémon front and center in their plots, but in the first one they were just kinda there, for you to stumble upon them by accident.

I've played only up until gen 3. What's this Unova about? I've searched about it and seems like a new region. What's so different compared to Kanto that warrants praise or scorn?

Pretty much, although I somewhat disagree. The porn of the various Pokegirls is still on spot to this day.

"Good" is debatable, but it stopped being "mediocre but tolerable" after Gen4. There was really nothing left to improve on the formula after the Physical/Special Split.

Are they? The games are getting increasingly even easier and they're throwing away any sort of gameplay, rules, whatever. You can just do whatever and steamroll the game harder now
Just imagine, you have this JRPG franchise with infinite party members and there's nothing to do with 'em and it's getting increasingly embarrassed of being a JRPG. How absolutely fucking lame

>> No.8706580 [DELETED] 

>>8706379
20 years ago still doesn't mean retro. If it does, so does 10 years ago, or even yesterday. The stikky doesn't even say "20 years ago is retro" so you can't even appeal to that.

Almost no one agreed with that rule change, and a lot of people that did stated they regretted that they did. It was pushed through by the same "person" that participates in this websites' rulers IRC chats where they discuss prolapsing each other. Why would you support him?

Every game is designed to be entry level, as if it were someone's foray into the brand. There are changes to the battle system, presentation, and some different approaches to world design depending on the Region. But the core of it all is the same. Fans going to war with each other over their personal tier list or whatever is a joke.
