9 was misfits ala Skull.
It really is a shame that Gen V fell into the Zelda cycle, because that’s really what convinced them to play it safe from then-on-out.
I mean Gen 7 ended with the main antagonist ending up in a permanant coma and the player character’s best friend leaving for maybe ever. And we were also shown the antagonist would freeze Pokemon so they were cute.
That was the reference, actually.
Even in Generation 2, they frequently preferred to 'bird Pokémon' instead o 'flying Pokémon'.
In later context, the worst enemies of trannies are trannies.

Oh, no. I got plenty of warning that Sweet Baby Inc. is no the only company of its kind, yet seeing another such company i still a big blow, especially when one is in charge of a Pokémon game.But wait, it gets even W O R S E

Wait; what?
The Zelda cycle was were the current iteration was the worst in the series, and the preceding being the best; push the concept forward as new installments are released.
Which honestly has been Pokemon since Gen 3 honestly.
bruh i feel this
I liked X and Y at the time but now I’m only nostalgic for stuff like super training and Pokemon Amie, while the rest is pretty forgettable.
Exactly that. Gen 2 released when Nintendo began to relax a bit here-and-there on censorship, but 1) Nintendo has and always will keep an eye on being family-friendly, but also 2) I'd add Pokemon became such a phenomenon so fast that NOA would definitely make sure nothing even remotely sexual or skeevy could be interpreted anywhere.
I remember hating Gen 4 and Gen 5. And loving Gen 6 and 7. And going back through Gen 4 and Gen 5 I recall why. The games feel sluggish to play in so many aspects and 6 and 7 did not.
You know, I think that might be it. I don’t remember the save time being slow but playing back now christ it is shit. Considering how frequently people save, it’s unacceptable. Coupled with movement spead and battle times being slow and then the fact the starters just looked and felt awful to use. And the HM useage. It feels that any time you get going you are brought to a screeching violent stop.
It's worth noting that that was some kind of weird hardware issue exclusive to the original releases because if you emulate them or play Platinum, there's no delays and the saves take about 1 second tops. Something is fucky there and whatever it is doesn't make sense to me.
Playing Plat ln old hardware and the save times are noticable. So I’d assume it might be a DS issue.
Then there i some bug that made the player's house have a jaggy pattern instead of the intended straight one... which became the true and honest pattern in the remakes.
Literally the only reason I can't bring myself to replay the originals from start to finish. Though it was a little better in HG/SS with the gigantic leap in overall visual quality and Engine upgrades that weren't in Platinum and were continued up through Gen V.
Its definitely a DS issue. Hadn't experienced this at all even on a 3DS.
And ironically the next gen we got Gardevoir, of which basically anti-skeevyness was effectively off the table later on. I mean we got a mon based upon a fucking dominatrix.
And then we had Gen4 that said pokemon and Humans were once married, so those Gardevoir interests skyrocketed.
