I'm 32, and I saw gen 5 as a return to form and the basics. >150 new monsters that actually looked stylistically different from what came before in a refreshing way, a renewed focus on being a fucking JRPG with a story that perhaps bit off more than the Pokemon franchise with its kid-friendly image could realistically chew, and a game engine that wasn't slow as molasses and actually encouraged you to play rather than make you constantly wait.
