How would you group each "era" of Pokemon?
>>
>>58949893
Transitional > Classic >> Dexcut >>>>>>> shit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Early Modern
>>
pokemon = gen 1
nugenslop = gen 2+
>>
>>58949893
you can just group by console, it's cleaner
>>
>>58949893
I sure as fuck wouldn’t group gen 3 in with the first two
>>
>>58949893
good
gen1,gen3,gen4,gen5
mid
gen7,gen9,
dogshit
gen2,gen6,gen8

It's crazy how Pokemon peaked in 2009, peaked again in 2012, and then became complete garbage ever since.
>>
>>58949893
Classic Pokemon era: gen 1-2
Transitional Pokemon era: gen 3
Nu-Pokemon era: gen 4+

Move Gen 9 to dogshit and I agree
>>
>2d
gen 1, gen 2, gen 3
>2.5d
gen 4, gen 5
>3d pre-dexcut/3ds era
gen 6, gen 7
>post-dexcut/home-console-releases
gen 8, gen 9, gen 10
They're pretty reasonable categories imo. Some level of argument to group gens 4 through 7 together but I think the design philosophies changed so much during xy's development it would be dishonest to do so.

lmao
>>
>>58949958
Those were the names of the categories. If you notice, there's also the "pre and post dexcut" categories. Those aren't graphics-influenced names yeah?
>>
>>58949893
gens 1 and 2 are the first era
gens 3 and 4 are the second era
gens 5 and 6 are the third era (although I can see the case for further division)
gen 7 is the fourth era (although I could see it just being part of the third era)
gen 8 is the fifth era
gen 9 is the sixth era (I think wiwa will probably be part of this era)

They're already grouped into different generations, and they're mostly all distinct enough to stand as their own 'eras'. The only exceptions are the mainline games released on Switch, they both feel very samey in a way no other generations have.

Era 1
Gens 1 and 2. Focus on small scale criminal plots.
Era 2
Gens 3,4,5,6. Focus on criminal teams using the cover legendary to destroy/shape/cleanse the world.
Era 3
Gens 7,8,9. Focus on family issues, a fake out criminal team and the cover legendary is your friend.

Gen 1-6 are the classic era, with Gen 6 fully proving that classic Pokemon games were always bad, with Gen 7 and onwards being the new modern era where the games are actually difficult and have actual QoL. Not coincidentally Gen 6 was the last main game directed by Masuda, and his two remakes during the modern era take mechanics directly from the more modern games.

legpiss also goes into the dexcut era
it's the first game after alolan games that literally doesn't have cut mons
despite lacking the natdex, you could still transfer and use remaining mons in alola
it's amusing we still have legpiss bootlickers and damage control shills on this board lol

Let's Go is Gen 8, it and SS share an engine. Anyone who claims Let's Go is Gen 7 is an insane person (Bulbapedia is run by insane people).
>>
1-6 is the classic era, as proven by the Classic Pokemon threads where people keep posting games up to XY
7+ is the modern era, where the games actually become good and are willing to innovate instead of Kanto regurgitation like every game before it.

Sorry Yawnfag, you don't get to be part of the cool kids club with all the good games. XY plays too much exactly like BW for us to accept you. ORAS is closer because at least Ohmori directed it but there was only so much he could do with Masuda's awful decisions (most of which were immediately changed in SM).
>>
1-5 is the classic era, as proven by the Classic Pokemon threads where people keep posting games up to BW
6+ is the modern era, where the games actually become bad and stopped innovating to focus on gimmicks and Kanto regurgitation.

>1-5 is the classic era, as proven by the Classic Pokemon threads where people keep posting games up to BW
I’ve seen people post XY in those threads too, sooo…
>>
>>58950311
anything after 2 is no longer classic
I don’t know why this is a hard concept for people, the inability to transfer to gen 3 plus gen 3 being conceptualized as a reboot should make it clear

Just because you shit up retro Pokemon threads demanding to be let in doesn't mean XY are classic games.
XY technically can't be outdated simply because it was never indated.

But I did an impression of gen 6's target demographic. a.k.a. (You).
>>
>>58949893
maybe it's just me, but if we're distinguishing gen 7 as being a separate "era" from gen 8, then LGPE should absolutely not be considered gen 7
>>
>>58950761
Ugh listen you little shit I might’ve been born in 2007 but XY is miles better than whatever that garbage Pokédex BW came up with and I don’t care if it’s part of your childhood it’s GARBAGE literally you have a trash Pokemon lolmao, those games belong in a class of their own because it’s an insult to each other category that someone would hold them in equal terms
>>
>>58949893
Gen 3 should be part of the transitional era by Masuda's own admission RS were test runs for DP. Gen 5 should really be in its own category as this was when Masuda wanted to break away from the constraints of pokemon entirely and make a 'real' RPG in the vein of dragon quest or final fantasy

Transitional was lightyears better than Classic. Classic was about equal to Early Modern. While Early Modern had lower low points than Classic it also had higher high points than Classic. Dexcut/Modern is borderline irredeemable slop. Even with the DLCs they are broken incomplete games.

It changed too much after Gen 5, not even the same games in my eyes. Only passable games are ASOR, and maybe Sword/Shield.

I'd say Let's Go if it wasn't so easy, modded it's worth it but taking the game as it is it's bad.

Legends Arceus was mid, but better than the last few at least. BDSP is an insult.
