Gen 4 was when the gameplay started to get slower, etc, and the amount of lag in HGSS was insane.

Yeah, Gen 4 was where I started to feel like the story and side content all wanted you to know all-too-well they existed before you could go out and do what most Pokemon players wanted to do. Like every hour of in-game story could be condensed to about five minutes, or the side content could be handled better so you didn't take a half-hour detour every few minutes, so players could dive in and do the collecting, training, battling, breeding, and training stuff. Was Gen 4 as bad as 6 or 7 about this? No. Did it feel like it was taking too long to go through the motions? Absolutely.

From what little I understand of the game, since I haven't played it personally, Palworld is better about this than the last few generations of Pokemon. <_<
