never borty

Just one.

Never. This gen will forever be part of "then vs. now Pokemon design" memes.

That's not how it works

Gen 5 will always be considered a soft reboot of the franchise, just because BW has an entirely new regional dex and these are the first games to take place outside of Japan.
Personally I think we have so many eras of Pokémon now that it is hard to classify anything as old gen. The only games that felt like old gen were Gens 1 and 2.

Gen 5 was fully animated and will be the break off from the originals to new.
I would say:
Classics
>gen 1
>gen 2
>gen 3
>gen 4
New
>gen 5
>gen 6
(S)w(h)(i)(t)ch
>gen 7
>gen 8
>soon to join gen 9

another bait thread

>Implying gen 6 is somehow less shit than gen 7 and 8

It really is though. Do you really think Sword and Shield are better than X and Y? Game Freak actually had to put the effort to model the Pokemon in 3D for Gen 6. At least you could catch every pokemon without DLC? All the Switch Pokemon games have been terrible.

The split for me is the shift away from sprites and to 3D, although it really should be
>1/2
>3/4/5
>everything else

>Game Freak actually had to put the effort to model the Pokemon in 3D for Gen 6
This is wrong in multiple ways. Most of the models existed in spinoffs and were ported or slightly edited, and the same goes for most of the animations. Only Gen 6 Pokemon needed work put in. Even then, none of this work was done by Gamefreak. It was done by Creatures Inc.

Gens 3 and onwards will always be the new generations

It’s not “nu-gen”, gen V was the end of “old-gen”

This user gets it.

6 onwards is nu-gen. 1-5 are already considered the classics

Gen 3 is the cut-off point
>b-but
don't care. Sonic Adventure isn't considered a "classic" sonic game, is it

This, it's like saying PS2 is a "retro" console, gen 3 is the cutoff for me because putting it in the same era as 5 just feels fucking weird.

>it's like saying PS2 is a "retro" console
It's 21, user. It's a retro console.

Nu-gen simply means "Came after the Pokémon game I grew up with."
Gen 5 is being argued as not nu-gen because people that grew up with it are of age now. Nobody tries to discern what makes an era in the franchise, which there is almost always only two of; classic and nu-gen.

no

Nothing DS onwards will not be considered nu
