Gen 6 or Gen 8.
BW2 was the most kino shit in history and it really felt like a last hurrah for the series.
Then XY came out and it was pure pokéslop. I remember the excuse fans had at the time was, they put all their resources into transitioning everything into 3D so they didn't have time to make an actual good game.
Then ORAS came out and it was.. ok. 7.8/10 on the kino scale.
Then eventually SWSH happened and it was pure garbage. It's like they didn't even try. And from that point on the Pokemon company realized that they could just ship out actual dog shit in a cartridge and pokemon fans would buy it no matter what.
