When Kahn is caught trying to stop Bill from dating Kahn's mom, Hank initially looks pissed off but then Kahn says something like "all of you would do the same thing if Bill tried to date your mom" and Hank uncrosses his arms.

I haven't been keeping up with the Pokemon fandom since the Sun/Moon days, so some of my intel is outdated, but my general thoughts are:

FR/LG & HG/SS - I haven't seen much hate for them, but as I said it might be a very recent thing.

B/W - These have always been polarizing as hell, with some people saying they're better than HG/SS while others hated them from day 1 due to hating the new Pokemon. B2/W2 in particular have always been highly adored by a large subset of the fandom.

X/Y - Their reception started as highly positive but then soured to being mostly hated. While I think the Pokemon Cycle is generally a bit of a thing, X/Y might not ever rebound because its reasons for crashing like this are a lot more obvious:
- When X/Y first came out, it was exciting to see a main series game in 3D, and with online functionality that wasn't a confusing mess.
- But then OR/AS copied those best features while replacing X/Y's shitty plot, characters, and level curve with good stuff, so X/Y was made obsolete a year later.
- And then the series started going downhill sharply within the last few years, and a lot of people point to X/Y as being the main culprit for introducing the main things that are killing the series (lack of single player postgame content, EXP Share ruining the level curve, etc.)

So I don't know if X/Y ever recovers from that. I think it'd take Gamefreak going in a totally different direction with the series which ruins it even worse, like if they decide to only make 8 bit retro games with no online or something.

Generally speaking I do think there's a Pokemon Cycle though. Not every game goes through it the same way or at all, but there's 4 main phases:

1. Honeymoon phase - The game first comes out and people make their initial opinions on it. These opinions stick around for a few years. The overall opinion of the game can range from overwhelmingly positive (X/Y) to polarizing (B/W) to already hated (R/S).

2. Downswing phase - The haters gain more steam and become louder, while the fans start vanishing one way or another. In the case of Gens 1-2, this was due to the series as a whole going through an unpopular phase.

3. Upswing phase - The haters either move on to other stuff or realize the game wasn't actually that bad. While the fans come back and start singing the game's praises again.

4. Nostalgia phase - Once the game starts getting old, opinions finally start stabilizing, with some people saying the game's a timeless classic while others say it's overrated due to nostalgia.

I didn't like the 3DS that much. A lot of its big games didn't click with me and then it kinda fell off after 2014. GBA, DS, and Vita were all a lot better.

It was the first Nintendo handheld with good Virtual Console support though, so I liked that aspect of it.

I feel like Gamefreak has a soft spot for Platinum that they didn't have for Emerald or Crystal; just look at how many games Looker showed up in.

Square would need Tetsuya Takahashi on board to do a remake justice, and he's been away from Square for like 2 decades now. Same problem with Xenosaga.
