When’s the last time Pokemon was good?

October 16 2025 with the release of pokemon legends Z-A

ZA

Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire.
No Serena. No buy.

The last time it was "good" was gen 6, maybe 7. The last time it was "great" was gen 5.

>>723915240 (OP)
nintendo ds era were the last good pokemon games

>>723915240 (OP)
It still is good

>pokeslop is review bombed to hell
>digislop's score is propped up by blind fanboyism
>both critic scores are the same
>DURR MY SLOP IS BETTER THAN YOUR SLOP
>NO YOUR SLOP SUCKS
this shit is so fucking funny.

>>723915240 (OP)
Emerald is literally the only good Pokemon game. The rest are garbage.

>>723915240 (OP)
It was never good. Pretty much all the popular PS1 turn-based rpgs were better than all the Pokemon games.

GSC
HGSS gets a pass as well but still didn't quite recapture the full soul essence of GSC

This!

Real Pokemon fans don't care about those silly ass hurt contrarians who try too hard to fit in!

Gen 2

Somewhere between S/M and the Let's Go games, feels that was the end of the era before Game Freak's flaws as a company with game development caught up to them and didn't care since Pokémon sells at the level of GTA.

Pokemon ended here. 2 whole regions and the final boss being the og protag is magic that they could never recapture. Everything after this is retconned fanfiction that has not been directed by the original creator.

>>723915240 (OP)
>4.6
that bad, huh?
why are the journos so positive?

>>723915240 (OP)
Digimon won. Palworld won.

>>723915595
>>723916154
Pretty much this.

>>723915701
Pokemon was never good you dumb nigger

>>723916390
if you look at the reviews most of them are just "WAHHHHHHH 0 OUT OF TEN BCUZ NINTENDWOO IZ A BIG MEANIE HEAD"

>>723916728
I have anti-Nintendo fatigue bros...

>>723916824
so much this. we should maintain the status quo *raises fist*

Gen 1-3. Everything after that was redundant and worse.

>>723915240 (OP)
Never. much like Metal Gear Solid, Pokemon is a franchise where you have to be a stupid toddler to slurp it up.
If you are over the age of 10 and still hold any interest on Pokemon or it's derivatives like Digimon you are a manchild with a smooth brain and a low IQ.

>>723915595
the most funny, both franchises are not competing, bandai still make the merchandise of pokmn

I'm going to say Gen 5.
Gen 5 wasn't perfect, but it was the last gen before they ruined the game with Fairy typing and Knock Off meta.
I'm not going to play Gen 10, but I will continue to furiously masturbate to coomer mons such as Floragato

>>723915240 (OP)
it lost its charm after gold&silver

>>723915240 (OP)
Scarlet/Violet on Switch 2.
Legends Arceus before that.
This one's good, too.

Shame about the 8 years of trash between BW2 and PLA.
