>peak satisfaction a 23
maybe if we were meant to die before 40. If your life peaks in your 20's, you're gonna be miserable for the next 50-60 years of your natural life.
I still play the series so I'm not sure. It's had so many ups and downs. I played gen 2 for the first time a few months back, since I started with Blue, but skipped gen 2 and then had gen 3. Most I played of gen 2 was my friend's completed file, thinking how crazy it was that Kanto was there, although I remember feeling the music not being present as much as in gen 1 Kanto felt haunting as a kid, but the comfy way while playing a Gameboy late at night. I just thought Silver looked fricking amazing for a Gameboy game when playing it this year and I'd rate those games 8/10, gen 3 was so special to me as a kid, but it's 6/10 for sure and gen 4 was maybe 7/10 but I preferred gen 3 at the time. Gen 5 I skipped until they announced Black 2 and White 2 and I thought okay I'll try this shit since this seems cool and then I fricking loved Black 2 since the region was made so much better. Gen 6 I poured so much time into as a cope, going to the effort of filling the NAT Dex just because of how empty it felt in comparison to Black 2, so I hated how ORAS added cutscenes and more story, while removing the frontier and tower and comparing it to gen 2 remakes was painful. Then gen 7 I thought they must have gotten used to 3D games and it was still so shit. USUM felt like a chore also, they've just been adding long unskippable cutscenes and shit that takes you off the path to tell you about how to surf to the next island on a Mantine. Fricking SwSh was also bad and didn't bother with the DLC because I borrowed from a friend and SV was pretty fricking good in spite of how shitty it looks and performs technically, but trying to play it again without starting over is a b***h because wtf is the point with no national dex to finish? DLC looks exciting though.
7/10 overall. Most of my fondness is in the past for Colosseum series and HGSS.

...Is the child molestation rate really THAT high?
Silver
Nowadays, I'd say around 5/10. Still has lots of potential but it has gone mostly unexpressed in the past 10 years.
I think XY were better than most people claim though, despite their limits (mostly being made still in the same "we'll fix this in the third game" mentality they had for Gen3 and Gen4, but got chopped by Gen7 because they wanted to come out with a new gen for the 20th Anniversary).

7/10 for peak, 5/10 pre-Switch average, 1/10 now
>10/10 by potential
This. Pokémon is a series that I would say has the biggest wasted potential.

Best one is gold/silver. I didn't play any pokemon games after diamond/pearl cause the designs became moronic.
