Black 2 and White 2 are considered to be some of the best Pokemon games. Gen 6 is when it all went downhill.

B2/W2 was an improvement over the travesty that was B/W but it wasn't great.

It hasn't yet

Fifth gen was probably the peak of the series. First generation is the worst thus far

5th gen was garbage, I have no idea why it's so popular around here. B/W was clearly the low point of the series. B2/W2 and Gen 6/7 were slight improvements even

BW had the best final battle in the series by a mile, best villain, best story/characters in general really. The entire main game being new Pokemon was a huge breath of fresh air, especially compared to something like the 2nd gen games where most of the cool new Pokemon were hidden away behind low encounter rates or super late areas. Also had probably my favourite soundtrack in the series, along with BW2. I do prefer BW2 overall a bit, but BW are great.

While I agree the second gen was a little too far in the other direction in having Gen 2 mons be rarer than Gen 1 mons, B/W swung the pendelum to the extreme in the other direction. It was an awful, awful decision to have NO previous gen pokemon appear until postgame. While I think current gen should be the most common in the games, it fucking sucked not getting to see any old pokemon at all until you already beat the game.

Depending on the individuals age here, the general answer is going to be either gen 5 or 6.

In reality, theyre all good and the series has and is growing at a steady rate. Id say most people who grew up with gen 1 here started to fall out around gen 5/6 due to becoming adults. I cant for the love of me sit down and play a gen 6/7 game because I dont have the patience anymore. The only reason I occasionally player older ones is pure nostalgia, not cause theyre better games.

It's not that I grew out of Pokemon making Gen 5 horrible to me, because I can still pick up and play a game from gen 1 to 4 and have fun with it. It's the game itself

Id say its just nostalgia and youre biased to the older Pokmon since you grew up with them.. And thats not a bad reason at all to like those gens/games better. Sometimes its okay to like something due to nostalgia contrary to popular belief.

I dunno. I wouldn't be able to go back and replay Gen 2 personally, never even bought HGSS because I just don't care for Gen 2. Same with Gen 1. I just don't really care for it. I love Gen 3 and can always go back and replay Emerald. I like Gen 4 well enough that I'd replay it. But Gen 5 I can always go back to and love.

Pokemon is one of those weird things. Each generation improves on the last, but with each game it loses more of the magic.

6 was a low point. 7 was ok. I'm cautiously optimistic for 8.

Gen 1 was broken.
Gen 2 and 5, I liked.
Gen 3, the general consensus is that its the best
Gen 4 seemed like a sequel to gen 3 more than a generation of its own
Gen 6 was decent
Gen 7 was bad... like really bad

I agree. The general consensus seems to suggest 3 was the best. But as I stated, I liked 2 and 5, and I think they are the best.

No Im saying I liked 3 a lot but I dont think its the most popular gen. 2 is for sure more popular, I think 1 & 4 might be too.

Sun/Moon.

Props for giving us the best villain in the series but just about everything about Alola is uninteresting or unfulfilled for me

Honestly? Id argue Pokmon has never been good long enough to pick a point where it stopped. Besides the originals, the Johto games, and Black/White, are the only ones that felt like any passion or ambition went into making them.

The rest come off as either lazy phoned in games coasting off the catching/battling mechanic, or desperately chasing the mobile game and Yokai Watch demographics at the expense of anything that would make the games or world interesting outside of battles.

It peaked with HG/SS for me due to Crystal being my favorite pokemon game. Loved D/P/P as well despite how slow the gen felt overall. The music and shit was a huge step up from R/S/E

Gen 4 definitely got the most hours out of me

I did play through gen 5 but I didnt care for anything after that. Didnt even finish pokemon sun and didnt buy omega ruby

The way the series is going gen 4/5 was the perfect time to bow out
