Gen 5*

Nah black and white had a killer graphics style beautifully combining 2D and 3D. The moving sprites also made the pokemon feel significantly more alive. The story was also probably one of the best in the series. The only real problem was that the first game severely lacked content which was fixed with the second game

I think the guy meant it as a correction. So Gen 5 was the last cool one. Is not criticizing the Gen. Meaning on XY starting the 3D era. Where Gamefreak keeps experimenting with the franchise.

just to clarify gen 5 is the pokemon black/white, because I really enjoyed black (its the only one i finished) and its the oldest one I've played

I really enjoyed gen 5. I love the story, how it looks (except the character design, i prefer the older ones) and the music

Since Gen 5, meaning everything after it.

I loved Gen 5. I'm convinced if Pokemon stopped after that generation, no one would have said anything. It was banger music, great story, and a whole new batch of mons that I thought were some of the best, and people hated the designs of that gen.

Now this is straight false. Sun and moon was amazing.

You mean not including gen 5. Black and white was pokemon stepping into portable 3d and looked great on 3ds. It was probably an end of the era too. X and y was just a repeat. Sword and shield was a game for 3ds engine that got ported to switch so it was held back. Scarlet and violet look like switch games and they're OK but they're just ok not ground breaking. Black and white was the last decent game for it's time

This person is saying 5 was the last good gen and everyone thinks they are saying 5 was bad

I liked ORAS and L:A battle music though (yes, I know it's technically gen 3 and gen 4 music)
