gen 3

Mega Evolutions

Generation 6

Everything from Gen 5 onwards except for B2W2 and maybe USUM if really generous

gen 2. They had to hire outside help to even fix the game

Pokemon Yellow

After Pokemon GO

Gen 6 started the downfall.
Gen 5 was peak pokemon

Yep, gen 6 isn't bad imo, but it definitely is the start of the downfall. I don't know how they managed to just get progressively worse with every new installment. Seems like it's a mix of being shit with 3D games, and just not wanting to make Pokémon games anymore.

>king
>as in kinggayy
fuck off shill

Gen 3. R/S were HUGE downgrades from Crystal

the plan was always to release a lot of versions though

I totally agree. It had some cool stuff. Loved the Mega evolutions ,but the games felt kinda empty.
>Not wanting to make pokemon games anymore.
I mean they are releasing a new game every year. They are milking it so bad it's not even funny.

I think they have accepted their fate and that's why we're getting so many new releases. With Little Town Hero, or whatever the fuck the name ended up being, failing they realized that they will forever be Pokémon developers. Everything they've made that isn't Pokémon has failed to sell at all, so might as well just make Pokémon and only Pokémon.

Gen 6, then they got better in 7, and back down after that

It also proves GF have no talent even with Pokemon and people are just sheep.

retarded faggot, compare r/s to g/s and emerald to crystal you fucking braindead moron

Gen 6, though the signs were there in Gen 5.

r/s were shit compared to g/s. Emerald was a step in the right direction but not good enough

Gen 4, hands down.
