It is crazy how B&W is literally the turning point for Pokemon and it is because Masuda was gone. What has Pokemon actually done since then that had a massive impact on the series going forward to the point that it is hard to imagine Pokemon without it?
I mean Gen 1-5 gave us: Natures, IVs/EVs being figured out, Natures, Abilities, Held Items, Physical/Special Split, making it so types aren't JUST physical or JUST special, Double Battles, etc. Pokemon is still based around those. The series needs to add something else like those. It needs a new thing that is NOT a generational gimmick that goes away and is ultimately irrelevant and just used to make the game easier.
