I've been out of the loop since gen 3.
What did I miss? Are the games still shit? I heard there was a fairy type now.
Nice troll

What do you mean?
Yes, there's a fairy type.
It's shit. It's basically a grab bag of cute and popular pokemon from previous gens.
Just play Gen V and forget all your worries for a bit and you'll be good.

Oh. Okay, thanks.
I often come here just for the cringe threads and memes so I read something about how it's much easier to train now compared to older generations. And the trainer customization on 6 gen.
No 6 gen pokemon looks cool to me so far.

Yeah, Exp. Share has become Exp All, just turn it on, leave it in your bag and watch the levels roll in across the board. I don't particularly like it, but I have to admit it makes finishing the dex pretty easy

>What did I miss? Are the games still shit?
You missed one good Gen and 2 really bad ones. And yes, the games were never good.

Was gen 5 good?
What is Google
What is Bulbapedia

Gen 5 is great.
Gen 4 is an acquired taste.
Gen 6 is garbage.
>>25519941
The general consensus is that Gen V has some of the best story telling, largely due to how B2/W2 are straight sequels to B/W and so you're seeing some real advancement in the world and characters you'd previously met.

Lol no. Perhaps amongst the vocal minority on /vp/, but most fans consider Gen V to be the weakest.
>>25519045
You missed the game being perfected in HG/SS and Generation V, and subsequently going down the crapper in VI.

In my opinion, Gen 4 and Gen 5 are great, but I also liked Gen 3 so maybe that invalidates my opinion. Gen 6 isn't very good though, they dumbed the games further down than usual and have barely any content relative to the best games in Gen 4 or 5.
>>25519045
Gen 6 is the first generation to make major strides since gen 3. Naturally /vp/ hates it because the majority of them grew up with gen 4 or even gen 5 games. Nonetheless, the gameplay is the best it's ever been.

It's true that Gen VI has made improvements to the battle engine, but that's wasted when the games themselves are bland. I can just play on Showdown if I want to play competitive.

Alright first up gnardgobbler, the games were never not good.
