The beginning of nu-Pokemon

incorrect.
Gen 2 is a direct sequel, but otherwise I agree with you.
Although I like Hoenn, it is where cracks truly started to show.

>Gameplay was incredibly smooth
haha okay

They're just not outstanding. Fun, but nothing terribly interesting.

Absolutely.

You are wrong about every generation but 3 and 7. B/W have no redeeming qualities (besides soulful sprite animation) and HGSS is the peak of the series. Sw/Sh are the best Pokemon since Platinum.

But Black/White was kino

Absolutely not

Anyone remember this mini Pokemon toys from back in the day? I think they might've come in packs of 3, maybe 2

exactly, it's where GameFreak started shoveling cutscenes and shit writing in your face.
Also Gen 5 has objectively the ugliest starters and a soft reboot esque not-kanto roster.

Literally who fucking cares if the game is good? Just make a romhack where you swap the gen 5 mons with gen 1~4 ones
XY had a way better dex, but that game is objectively the worst mainline game if you don't count LGPE as mainline
