I love Lida

It helped make me into the person I am today, for better or for worse.
I will never forget my memories with this series, especially Gen 1 to 4, but also being in 5th grade and sitting in a McDonalds (am not American btw) with a friend of mine from school to get their free WiFi and download Victini on our DS.
I kind of lost interest starting with Gen 8, SM was the last game I properly played, and I remember buying Ultra Moon but never playing it beyond choosing my starter due to time constraints of starting university.
Nowadays I feel like an old man reminisicing of playing during the good old days, FRLG was my first game ever and I played it back in 2005 or 2006 after getting it 2nd hand. I will never forget playing PMD Darkness on release in 2008 and sitting in the kitchen, playing the ending scene where you disappear and crying over it just for my mom to come in and ask what's wrong.
I feel like an old man because I cling to those good memories from back then, but I feel like the childhood nostalgia magic is gone now. Sure, a kid starting with the modern Pokemon games today will probably think those are the peak of the series because that's how kids are. But although I don't actively play Pokemon anymore, I'm still sceptical of the path the franchise is taking.
Even if Game Freak were to do another new game in the pixel art style I adore so much, I don't know if that could bring back the feeling from long ago.
In summary, I do still love the franchise for all that it gave me, and wish that Gen 10 turns out good, We'll see tomorrow.

was good until the 3d era. gen 7 and 6 were just fine, but they really dropped the ball on everything afterwards. gens 8 and 9 haven't produced anything worth finishing, though I've gotten close on legends Arceus and let's go Eevee

My only thought is why is Konami sitting on all of Hudson Soft's IPs and refusing to do anything with them? People are tired of the constant Metal Gear remakes and Silent Hill is getting tiresome. They could pump out Hudson's Bloody Roar and try to compete with Tekken, Street Fighter and King of Fighters.

Pokęmon was a mistake

One of my favorite franchises of all time. Between friends, international travel and learning Japanese Pokemon has had a major influence on my life.

Went to shit after gen 5 which just happens to coincidentally be when my childhood peaked and there's no need to look into any correlation

Garbage franchise, but I'd be lying if I said I regretted the time I spent with it.

A Pokémon Master is one that can connects to the hearts of any Monsters they encounter. They're not the worlds strongest trainer, nor the brightest, but the one who understands and strengthens the bonds between man and mon around the world. It's the Ultimate Pokémon Trainer dream. Ash, understanding this, decides to roam the world to do just that till the very end.

Horizons is about the next generation of Pokémon Masters.

Probably one of the video games that had the biggest impact on my life, next to Dark Souls, Halo, and Fallout 3/New Vegas (yes I know normie tastes)

The franchise peaked during the DS era
HGSS and B2W2 are still the best games in the franchise
Water starters the best starters in every gen
Cynthia is the best champion
Red is the best final boss
The Kanto seasons of the anime were by far the best
Gen 6 wasn't that bad in retrospect compared to what would come later
May and Dawn are the peak MC Pokegirl designs
The villain teams were never that great, but they were fun. And have gotten way worse when they try to make them less evil if at all
SWSH is painfully medicore, but get more hate than they deseve because of dexit
SV doesn't get enough hate, and gets a pass because the world is open
Removing fishing was a mistake
Fuck hidden abilties
Skyla is the hottest Pokegirl
Squirtle was always better than Charmander
ZA was fun

I want to see the starters and the region. Everything else is gravy.
