So I came down with an insane stomach illness a few days ago so to distract myself from it, here are my takes on each of the PokĆ©mon gens after binging all nine last year for the first time. Iāve zero nostalgia for the entire PokĆ©mon series cuz Nintendo consoles werenāt a thing here so my takes are from sheer insanity alone (as are all my takes). Also donāt worry about me, Iāll drink tons of water to keep myself healthy so Iāll be fineā¦ I hope.
Gen 1: best by far with no competition. The most freedom I had and it was fun replaying it 20 times. Yellow sucks though.
Gen 2: I like a lot of the stuff you can experiment with but I consider it a really poor sequel. I think all three versions are equally bad and Its only saving grace are the legitimately excellent romhacks like
crystal legacy and
crystal clear. Wholeheartedly recommend those even as a first timer.
Gen 3: the daycare ruins this. Itās funnier to not elaborate so I wonāt. Ruby/Sapphire is better than Emerald.
Gen 4: Abamasnow
Gen 5: overheated and overrated
Gen 6: a misteak
Gen 7: a miss steak
Gen 8: Gloria is the only thing I acknowledge the existence of.
Gen 9: tbh im not sure who thought PokƩmon should be a Lifesim. I think Nintendo always wanted PokƩmon to basically your life but this game was the most unsubtle about it.
If you disagree with all these youāre going to jail.
