Gives 'em the slip..
Gen V's story is the only game to have a legitimate story aside from some megalithic corporation trying to take over the Pokeworlds. Maybe VI will continue down this path if they TELL US MORE ABOUT THE LEGENDARIES AND AZ!!! (Seriously, why were any of these even in X and Y?) Although, I did like the Distortion World and Cyrus's plight against humanity in Platinum!
Regarding the topic of "have the games been getting worse?", just watching TwitchPlaysPokemon clearly reminds us of just how far we've come! Did anybody witness the disaster at the Pokémon Tower when Bird Jesus tried to take on all the Gastlys?! That would have never happened nowadays in Pokémon. The mechanics have really been fleshed out over the past 16 years. And the graphics, stories, characters, nearly everything has only been expanded upon. The only thing that's really changed is the novelty with the fan base. And to the Genwunners out there I say this; go watch Survivor or something!
