I've realized that Pokémon can be divided up into three reasonable categories.
Generations I and II are the Good Old Days. A time when the games were simple, without too many mechanics. Back when Pokémon Fever gripped the world tightly.
Generations III, IV and V are the Perfection of Pixels. Kanto and John got remade into definitive versions that matched up perfectly with their new counterparts (Kanto with Hoenn and Johto with Sinnoh). Plus the mythos and lore of the Pokémon universe was expanding by leaps and bounds, introducing literal GODS into the meta. Pixel art and 3D models were being perfectly blended together to make wonderful regions. And let's not forget Unova, a rich environment paired with the best plot of all.
Then there's the current place we're in. The alternate timeline I call the 3D Era. We lost decent plots for games, but in return we're able to personalize our characters and teams like no other! Changing our wardrobes (I can't imagine how long we had been asking for this!), Mega Evolution (still the best battle mechanic in my opinion), Z-Moves, and now Dynamax/Gigantamax! The competitive scene in Pokémon has never been more insane than it has been since 2013! Add Alolan formes and Galarian formes....my gosh! It's enough to make you sink into all of it!
So, now that I've mentioned these, which era is your favourite and please explain why.
