Very Hot Take: The 3DS era was bad.
>>58209585Chicken is so damn hot
>>58209585It’s not bad, just very meh. Overall maybe a decent 6/10.
A take as hot as a billion suns: 3D was a mistake

>>58209585The Switch games being even worse does not automatically make the 3DS games good.
Pokemon would've been in a better place if M*suda left the franchise after Gen V
>>58209585Gen 7 is fucking abhorrent. It’s like the worst parts of Gen 5 exacerbated to a comical degree.
I think gen 6 was fine. I used to absolutely hate it, but once I played XY again and did a challenge run of sorts, I actually did enjoy it a lot more, especially once it came time to do the Battle Maison in the post-game. That alongside the PSS actually was the gen 6 experience and playing it now removes a lot of things that makes that gen enjoyable. ORAS I can take or leave but I respect them for combining the battle e-card idea and the Secret Base idea, which was something heavily underutilized with the exception of Blissey bases.Gen 7 on the other hand was atrocious and even when Pretendo finally launches for support with these gens, I cannot find myself putting more time into it. They gave us less than a year between the base games and the Ultra games, the story was of course overbearing and rail-roady, they removed Triple and Rotation Battles and the Battle Tree was a significant downgrade as a result, and I just found this out when I was gifted a New 3DS but the performance alone on the standard 3DS model was terrible. This is very subjective, but I even hate the UI elements for gen 7. They just look gross, I can't explain it.It's probably subjective as fuck and there are a lot of things I liked in gen 7 that were made better in gen 8 which then made Sword my second favorite game in the series, but gen 7 really felt like they were just told to have a new gen out as fast as possible.
It's infinitely better than the Switch era but let's not pretend that 3DS era Pokemon was not a sharp decline from DS era. Speaking as someone who loved Alola's Pokedex, Gen 7 is straight up un-replayable because of the endless droves of cutscenes, XY were unfinished games that banked hard on nostalgia, and ORAS was the first remake that was inferior to the 3rd version that preceded it.The thing is things are so bad now that 3DS era could be considered "acceptable", but we simply didn't know how much further the series would fall.
>>58209585>the most mediocre gen (at the time), followed by the most insufferable handholdy hallway fest that is Gen 7It was enough to get me to give up on Pokemon games after that, and just stick to the older games.
>>58209585It was wokeshit.

>>58209585Yes it was. It's when Gamefreak realized they could make the lowest effort games.
>>58210579Wait, the finished game doesn’t have contests either? I thought the game was finished?
