My favourite generation is the one I have nostalgia for and the first one i played, Gen 3
Ruby and Sapphire i think had really good pokemon designs especially my favourite legendary Groudon, he looked metal as fuck on my copy of Ruby. I enjoyed the soundtrack from the GBA version and matched the anime based from it, Pokemon Advance.
What is your favourite generation and why? What details makes it stand out for you?
Pokémon Generation 1 and 2. They story, gameplay, and mechanics are concise and not hand-hold-y, the designs are the ones I grew up with, they can easily be played on a phone emulator and have so many rom hacks that I never will totally experience everything they have to offer
I think two for me. In my opinion, it had the best animated sprites (later animated sprites were sometimes the entire sprite bouncing which felt lazy to me). I stopped playing after gen four though, so I’m definitely missing some.
Whichever generation was in the Pokémon game for the original Gameboy color. The one where there was a red, green, and yellow version of the same game.
That’s the only real relationship I have with pokemon, because it was such a great game. So great that I loved the game and played it on an emulator, as I didn’t have a Gameboy.
I haven’t played every generation but imo generation V (Pokemon Black/White) were the most interesting to me. It’s the sweet spot between the older clunkier games and the more modern ones.
Gen two; the games were so damn good. Thank you Iwata
