How will Gen 8 be remembered? Will people look back to it as "the time when was still good" like what currently happens with X and Y?
>>55791166I don't think so. I think gen 8 will forever be known for being the gen that started dexit.
>>55791166No generation has had as much backlash as Gen 8. If Game Freak ever gets us to a point where Gen 8 is seen as "a time when the games were still good" this franchise deserves to go under.
>>55791166there's going to be Gen alpha kids who have nostalgia for it and defend it cause they grew up with it, that's inevitable and will happen with every generation. but I think for the majority of people it's reputation will remain unchanged. the switch games mark an easy point for people who were growing disenfranchised with Pokemon to draw a line and step away, what with Dexit and being on a new console. they probably won't enjoy the retroactive appraisal that XY or even SM got, because all the games from RBY to SM can be played on the same console (3ds) and all Pokemon can be transferred up to SM. do you can tie a ribbon around all those games and play the "golden age" forever, while the switch games will be seen as the start of a new era that only kids and the most addicted superfans play.
>>55791190>>55791211>>55791244Well put
>>55791166in the next 5 years, people will claim they are the best 3d Pokemon games
>>55791166The worst mainline game in the series, same as when it was released
Boohoo cry more boomers.Gen 8 will be remembered as the last Pokemon games that had good looking characters
>>55792430Yawnfag moment
>>55791166The last gen with sexy girls.
>>55792430>Muh human characters It's pocket monsters not pocket humans
>>55791211>he wasn't old enough to witness gen 5 hatredAnd it still happens to this day
>Gen 3>Gen 5>Gen 8This will always be the triad of poorly received generations of pokémon (and for good reasons).
>>55792563>Gen 3>poorly receivedin your head
>>55792508>he wasn't old enough to remember why this board was madeAnd falseflags still happen because of you cronie
>>55792571>why this board was made Because everyone was excited about gen 5 but suddenly did a face-heel turn once the games released
>>55792563literally no one hates gen 3
>>55792581>Because if I lie I can seem like le epic oldfagYWNFI
>the bort in thread trying to rewrite historykys mutt-nova-bort, gen 5 will always be the most hated.>muh but le hecking boarderinofuck you! mutt-nova literally broke the fandom with the enormous amount of disgusting shitmons
>if I was le epic five year discordfag that means I am le oldfag on teh 4chinzyou first pathetic astroturfing trannie
>>55791166>X and Y>good
>>55792590>>55792605>>55792633>dead internet theory
>55792633>>NOOO! You're supposed to let me rewrite reality, Mutt-nova was a success!! THERE WAS NEVER ANY BACKLASH! You discord! You discord! You discord! You discord! pathetic>>55792643kys faggot
>>55792563Who is hating on gen 3? Legit, I think it's the only gen I never see people talking shit about it.
>>55792500Cope. Main human characters have more fanart and figures than most pokemon
>>55791166It’s cute how people still pretend any of the games before gen 8 were controversial.
>>55791166The last time they gave us good pedobait
>>55794961Hebebait
>>557925637 was somewhat poorly received too. The awful long unskippable cutscenes and tutorials. The entire festival plaza thing is purely a stain on it now that the online's gone.
>>55795171Reminder hebe is a term that got spread here by marniefags.
>>55791166>How will Gen 8 be remembered?The Pizza Post, Masuda vocaroos, Nessa as a monkey, Norf posting, and Gloria having the highest number of fanart on art sites after only a year and a half despite over 2 decades of pokegirls, including against Lillie, Rosa, and Misty.
I think the Dexcut, Dynamax and “High Quality Animations!” may always sully the memory of Galar. The PR was the worst we had seen.
>>55791166The end of Pokemon
>>55791166Gloria is garage
It will be the last time Pokemon was relevant. Just look how much fanart it gets compared to the flop that is gen 9
