    trying to justify thier games as AAA pricing. subtier console with subtier gaming. especially around pokemon games. gen 1-6 were good, but everything after that was just a disaster.

      It’s finally gotten way out-of-hand, even for me. Gen XI will be the first main series Pokémon games in 30 years I won’t be pre-ordering, let alone even buying. First-party Switch games were already way too expensive, rarely ever going on sale, and now we may be moving to an $80 standard. And it seems the main selling point of the Switch 2 in the latest Direct was a bunch of ports. At that price point, there’s no reason not to just get a Steam Deck and sail the high seas for first-party titles. At least Valve won’t brick my device if I hurt their feelings.

      Yeah, post gen-6 is where i stopped. It felt like the games were really dumbed down, and they leaned way too hard into 3d graphics.

          The X and Y games set in the Kalos ( France ) region. Also the same generation they released Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire ( remakes of Ruby and Sapphire ( based on some part of Japan ) ).

      I’m curious how close this guess is, based solely on the generations you mention as good; are you 28?
