    '97 here, I agree. Black and White and BW2 were cool too. The mainline series' transition to 3D models and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race. I didn't even bother touching the 3DS

    unironically try out PLA and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.
    If you like Open world, exploration in general and don't mind the graphics, go for SV as well.
    PLA has good graphics and art direction, story is Ok the new battle and catch system makes it unique and refreshing.

    USUM is overalll a solid experience with lots of content, a good postgame and challening fights.

    SV has a lot of QoL improvements making the games less grindy and more dynamic (no more back and forth to the pokemon center to switch teams)

        You sound like a senile old woman. I had red/blue the day they came out and have played every game since then. The new gens aren't classic pokemon at all, but they aren't bad. Different isn't bad. I withheld playing many of the games because I drifted away from the series for a while and there were loads of panty bunched morons like you talking shit about all the games. I ended up playing them all and mostly enjoyed all of them. Yeah there are some things they could do better and a few downright travesties, but the games are overall enjoyable. You old queens have to ruin everything for everyone because your lives blow.

        It's generally agreed that SM has the best cast in all of Pokemon. You might think other games have better specific characters, Your Ns, your Cynthias, your Stevens, but nothing beats the SM roster as a whole. Pokedex are subjective but I think Alola is pretty good. You can cry about furbait all you want but overall I think people had some favorites in Alola. Not to mention how UBs are some of the most liked modern Pokemon.

    Pokemon was brought into the golden age by ZillenialGODS. We got to experience the definitive versions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. We have the best side games.
    We created this franchise and boomer genwunners and zoomer nugenners only shit on our legacy.

    1997 here I kinda agree. I think pokemon lost some of its magic with BW and in fact I never finished BW2. Or maybe it was BW2 specifically, I'm not sure, the shitty player character designs didn't help. Also I hated the Kyurem "fusions", I think Kyurem was perfect in BW1 and very creepy too.
    Anyway DP was mid, Platinum was great but not as great as Soulsilver, which in turn will never top Emerald which I still play today because I am moronic and in 15 years I never managed to get all the symbols. My favourite is FRLG because it was my first game but Emerald objectively just tops everything in spite of being the 2nd ugliest pokemon game.
    I never played RBY, only watched my brother playing Red and it seemed good, even as a kid I could notice there were some things that it did cooler than FRLG.
    I did also play Silver and Crystal on VBA in the 2010s but I never got to Kanto. They are prettier (especially the pokemon sprites) and the music is fantastic but HGSS is the better gen 2 experience for me.

      Based, I started gen 1 on release as a child and gen 3 is still the best and gen 4 is where it started going to shit.

    Whatever you do, don't listen to the schizo that's obsessed with hating Gen 5. He's borderline mentally ill.

    Just gen V is just as good, everything else goes from decent to shit.
