I can't begin to tell you how right you are. Gen 5 felt like such a complete upgrade after a relatively by-the-numbers (but still good) Gen 4 in a way that made me really optimistic about the future of the series. To have it followed up by X/Y, which instantly felt inferior in every possible way from every generation before it, confirmed that the franchise had truly jumped the shark by going 3D. Game Freak are fucking red devils, and their modern diehard fans are bottom-feeders.
