Pokemon went full on coomer franchise after that game.

Gamefreak traded Z version for SM.

>Pokemon: game's generation - the sequel
Unfortunately you're objectively incorrect, Emerald was the last good Pokemon game.
Gavin Green
Iwata left
David Sullivan
Z could have saved gen 6 like Emerald saved gen 3.
Ruby and Sapphire were kind of shit.

everything peaked in B/W. B/W had the best music, the best balance of graphics that still retained the soul of the games while being modern, the last set of new pokemon designs that wasn't filled with shit, and the only pokemon game that said fuck you to nostalgia fags and locked other region mons to the endgame. There are very few things that were wrong with B/W (ex. the shitty map) but otherwise every game has been downhill since there.
Julian Walker
Finally, some truth on this godforsaken board.

I agree with OP's sentiments, but I still liked XY and put thousands of hours into it. The online was unreal.
And GF even threw that away in SM in exchange for... festival plaza... holy fucking cancer. The online being the bottom screen was so lit.
XY was also the last game to have gyms and an actual region. Every game after that was just a straight hallway leading toward a red flag that you must go to while NPCs talk at you the whole time, and when you get to the flag NPCs talk at you some more. Gen VII onward literally aren't even fucking games.
One of the most sickening parts of all of this is how gen VIII, the first console Pokemon game, was a fucking worse port of SM, a 3DS game, and looks and plays just as shitty, except it has only 2/3s of the characters. Holy fucking Christ. I literally can't.

I recently got DS VC injection working on Wii U and now White 2 is literally the only reason I don't toss my DS DSi enhanced games aren't compatible with Wii U.
I talked so much shit about this game on release but looking back I realize how mistaken I was.

I can't believe it. OP is still a giant faggot that can't stop munching on dicks. Where did we go wrong.
Daniel Rivera
>put a ton of effort and care into gen 5
>didn't sell as well as just cramming your came full of kanto references and calling it a day
Masuda was always a bit retarded, like cutting Arceus because he didn't think people would go to Spear Pillar, but I'm convinced gen 5's poor reception is what broke him. There is a clear difference in his attitude and approach to the games. Why bother trying when you can do less work and get better sales?

based. I knew there was probably a lot of stuff I've forgotten. I think I need to boot it up on the ole emulator it's been a while.
Hudson Turner
Can't believe there's still retarded Pokefags that still won't stay on their containment board.
Sebastian Davis
>The newest Pokemon title for the Nintendo Switch barely looks as good as some Sonic Gamecube game
Samuel Young
I remember I dropped the entire franchise after G/S/C until I finally gave B2/W2 a shot and I was absolutely floored by the sheer amount of post-game content there was.

do you not remember gen V girls user?
Jordan Bailey
very true
Christian Hughes
You ARE right. This was the last Pokémon game that had love and attention poured in it.
Ryder Sanchez
For a while Pokemon games that came after gen 5 felt more mediocre instead of flat out bad, pretty boring all around but you could still feel they had potential to be good games if tweaked properly. Then SwSh came out, holy shit what a blunder.
John Carter
pokemon going 3d was a mistake
Grayson Garcia
What a dumb post. SWOOSH is literally a port of SM. It's the same game. Hallways leading toward red flags while you're incessantly stopped by NPCs to pad out the runtime of the game to make up for a lack of anything. SM isn't mediocre, it's a piece of fucking moldy dogshit.
Jordan Wilson
