as a pokefaggot gens 1-6 are the good ones. anything after that is unplayable. i could go on and on, but heres two main things > the original games were all linked by hardware, you could trade in between them by going to the pokemon center or whatever  but as of gen vii, if you want to trade your pokemon you need to do it through a third party external paywall app from nintendo, so when they eventually disconnect that service its over > in gen vii they removed the region/overworld map so now youre running down preset corridors toward a waypoint flag on your hud (cant deviate) and the environment is completely aesthetic in the background, so. idk what else to say pokemon gens 1-6 all have their ups and downs but those are the traditional pokemon games as you imagine they should be, my favorite is probably 5
