I'll take it, gens 4-5-6-7 are better than the other 2 eras (especially when you consider hgss are great remakes and oras are at least decent remakes meaning you have decent ways of playing hoenn and johto along side the others)

1st era : gen1 - a harsh post-dystopian world, mosters full of personality despite gb limitations, grounded plot, legendaries are hidden exotic breeds.

2nd era : gen2-5 - game improvements, babyfication, world-shaking plot with legendaries

3rd era : gen6-9 - 3D, fursonas, friendly rivals, Fairy type, less intriguing maps/caves, attempts at open-world, almost annual releases

1- Gameboy Advance
2- 3DS
3- Switch 2

It is when you're claiming Gen 5 is the start of 3D (4 or 6 depending on how you count it) and has a ton of fursonas (ratio of anthropomorphic Pokemon is generally lower than Gen 4 or Gen 6+, and arguably even numerically less than gens with less Pokemon overall).

Ah so every post claiming gen 5 is in the golden age isn’t s real opinion. Good to know.

Gen 5 was the first heavy focus on 3D and gen 5 has more anthro designs than either gen 4 or 6. Three of the legendaries are men sitting on clouds for fuck’s sake.

In what way? If we're just talking showing it off in gameplay, Platinum did with the Distortion World. Artistically HGSS did a pretty good amount as well.
>and gen 5 has more anthro designs than either gen 4 or 6
Make a list then, I'll wait
>Three of the legendaries are men sitting on clouds for fuck’s sake.
So like the mythological thing they're based on? That's like complaining Froslass is anthro despite being based on the fucking Yuki Onna. Are you sure you're not confusing bipedal (Charizard, Dragonite, Garchomp, Haxorus) with anthropomorphic and furry (Blaziken, Lucario, Emboar)? Hell, I'm giving points for Emboar despite also being based on a mythological figure because let's be real it's pretty furry, more than Infernape is despite both of them being based on the same story. There's also weird fucking edge cases like Mr. Mime and the Sawk/Throh (which were based on oni before they cut like all of the shit aside from the colors during development, at least give them horns instead of weird eyebrows) where they're just dudes. Hell, one of the most furry Pokemon and the designated shillmon is barely in the fucking game. And even Yawnfag complains Samurott isn't furry enough.

What is anthropomorphic about Fujin and Raijin? That they're gods of an element? Are a lot of gods fursonas by that metric? I'd ask if you think Zeus is a furry, but given how many women he fucked disguised as an animal the answer is yes but in ways that aren't relevant.

But it's not the entire game in BW either. There's like three places outside of Castelia that have anything that couldn't really be done in 2D, and one of them is the bridge leading there. Hell, there's in game cutscenes in the previous games that do similar stuff. And this isn't even getting into the fact that Gen 6+ do away with sprites almost entirely outside of item icons, which is such a big deal that these days putting a sprite in a 3D environment is a marketing move (HD-2D, despite every non-DQ game looking like ass) instead of standard like it was on the DS (or innovative like it was in Xenogears).

Again, one of like three areas. Victory Road is another, Dragonspiral Tower, and I forgot about the Battle Subway lobby. B2W2 adds the Marine Tube. Now show me a gif from every map in the game that shows off the 3D in a way that Gen 4 didn't do if it's the entire game. Surely, you can show it off. DQ9 can, you can press L and R to rotate the camera whenever you want.
>>
>>59355437
The limited 3d in gen 5 was so charming.

Both gen 2 and gen 5 felt like cutting-edge games in their respective consoles, rather than something "behind the times".

Gen 3 looked "fine", it looked like a 1992 game on the SNES.
By the GBA era designers had mastered pixel art and it resulted in many masterpieces, RSE/FRLG are good but don't feel like part of that era.
>>
>>59355458
It looks better than DQ9, but that's mostly due to art style choices leaving the textures a little muddy and the camera angles doing no favors to the 3D models (if you think the weirdly scaled sprites in BW look fucky holy shit you don't know how good Pokemon has it). Hell, the screen fucking up solid 3D models is still a problem on the 3DS, Gen 7 looks way better emulated (Gen 6 looks like ass outside of battle, the artstyle is just fucked like in RSE).

My original point as about games where pokemon felt like it "belonged" to its current generation rather than feeling like a game from a past console.
Gen 2 and 5 felt like they belonged and were cutting-edge.

Gen 1 looked janky, Gen 3 was like a SNES game, Gen 4 was definitively not using the 3D enough to stand out from a GBA game, Gen 6 was still using chibis for the overworld, Gen 7 I guess could be another one that fits a regular 3DS game. Switch era we all know the answer, let's hope they get their shit together for the Switch 2 era.
>>
>>59355481
>My original point as about games where pokemon felt like it "belonged" to its current generation
But it doesn't, because it looks worse than Gen 4 and worse than GBA games.
>>
>>59355487
Well I think your opinion is retarded, so that's that.
>>
>>59355476
Then list some 3D DS games that look better than it. Surely, if BW is the start of 3D for Pokemon, there must be better looking 3D games on the system.
>>
>>59355465
So they're not anthropomorphizing anything? After all, if they're Pokemon, that's just how they are. Do you want to answer the question again but differently this time? It feels like you didn't understand what the question even was. Let me rephrase it. What are the Gen 5 genie Pokemon based on? And a bonus one, what's the difference between those Pokemon and this SMT monster
https://megatenwiki.com/wiki/Fuujin
>>
>>59355495
>then list some other bad looking games
>>
>>59355507
Alright, I've got one. Gen 6, shit looks and runs like ass. Again, not even emulation can save it outside of battle, and in battle it looks the same as Gen 7 except Gen 7 just has more of everything going on so it's better by every metric that matters. Emulation also lets me fast forward through the miserable cutscenes making Gen 7 actually playable.
>>
>>59355521
Gen 6 and 7 both look better as 3DS games than Gen 5 does as a DS game.
>>
>>59355505
>So they're not anthropomorphizing anything?
So you’re retarded and don’t know what anthro means?
>>
>>59355531
>attributing human characteristics, emotions, form, or behaviors to non-human entities, such as animals, plants, or inanimate objects.
If they're Pokemon, there's nothing human about them, that's just how they are, like how monkeys seem almost humanoid despite not being humans. If they're Pokemon based on something, that something isn't non-human outside of the strictest definition, therefore there's no anthropomorphizing to be done. It doesn't qualify by either metric.

>>59355549

Gens 3-5. Gen 3 killed Pokemania. Gen 4 alienated the fanbase further with dogshit designs, an edgy plot, and an overly-complicated map. Gen 5 nearly killed the franchise as a whole.
>the golden age
Gen 6-onward. Gen 6 led to a Pokemon renaissance. It won back older and newer fans with the perfect mix of nostalgia, revolutionary novelty, and streamlining of mechanics. It made Pokemon GO possible, which led to a second Pokemania. Gen 7 shook up the formula and Gens 8-9 perfected it, giving us some of the most polished, incredible games of the JRPG genre.

I played SM and USUM, and the only reason I kept playing USUM was because I kept finding great new things about it that appealed to me specifically. If it wasn't for that I would have dropped it, base SM has a lot of problems and it's mostly unskippable cutscenes. Hell, I'll tell people to play USUM instead of SM not just because it's the better game, but playing SM first actively makes playing USUM worse and Lillie doesn't make up for it.

They see it as the hardware split since you could trade between RBY and GSC but RSE could just transfer into DPPt, and then DPPt into B2W2.

What they ignore is the fact that gens 1-3 didn't have the physical/special split but gen 4+ did, and that feels more like the real generational split. Sinnohbabies struggle to adjust to the old types, but someone that played Hoenn can play RBY and GSC without issue.
