Gotta purchase 'em all!










1 - Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow
2 - Pokemon Gold, Silver, Crystal
3 - Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald (+ Fire Red and Leaf Greed)
4 - Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum (+ Heart Gold and Soul Silver)
5 - Pokemon Black, White, Black 2, White 2
6 - Pokemon X and Y (+ Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire)
7 - Pokemon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon
8 - Pokemon Sword and Shield (+ Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl)

I personally would count playing the remakes as the generation when the remakes come out, as they are more similar technologically and gameplay-wise to that generation.

Anyway, all 8 for me.

I've beaten at least one non-remake mainline game from 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. I got to I think the 7th gym in Emerald and stopped. I didn't get very far in Sun. Haven't even touched SwSh.

Seven generations. Would be 8 if I counted BDSP as Gen 8, but I don't think it's fair to do that.

I played the first six gens, and beat four of them. RSE I had and was starting to play it, but then I loaned it and the game got lost. XY I stopped playing about 8 hours in because I got bored, and I really haven't been that interested in mainline Pokemon games since.... (but I'm currently interested in the Mystery Dungeon games, of which I have beaten one)

I played and beated the first six. Gen 7 was so bad that I never bothered to finish it, and that turned me off from Gen 8 entirely.

Except for Pokemon Legends. Now that game's fun (and no, I haven't beated it yet, because I'm still going on catching sprees and then needing to organize and release stuff).

That said, I did come back to play Legends Arceus, which injected some very needed new ideas into the franchise, and if there are more games like that in the future, count me very in.

X and Y were a breath of fresh air graphically, which helped cover up the game's relative ease (for the most part) and atrocious story that was a huge step back from the prior two games. The competitive metagame also took on a huge evolution with XY and it was great.

Yes, I liked XY, but it had nothing to do with the main story. I went through that a second time when I got bored but don't intend on doing that again.

It felt a little too much with the competitive scene as everything was getting broken. And it only got worse with further generations with all the terrain and GMax stuff. Tried VGC yesterday against my brother and the match got over in 5 turns LMAO.

7

Red/yellow
Silver/Crystal
Ruby/Emerald (fire red)
Diamond/Platinum (soul silver)
White/White 2
-
Moon/Ultra moon (omega ruby)
Sword (brilliant diamond)

Originally skipped gen 5 and 6. Went back and played Gen 5, and loved it. Have not bothered to go looking for Pokmon X or Y. Though I guess for completeness I may pick it up at some point.

1-4, 7. I've played spinoffs but I gave up on the mainlines a long time ago, I got the itch to try Pokemon again in 2016 with Moon and that's enough for me for the foreseeable future.

All

Religiously buy any new release when it comes out. I think the only one I haven't played is original Ruby/Sapphire because they came out during the time I was "over" Pokemon. I went straight to Emerald and never bothered playing RS. Though I did play ORAS. Same with Platinum, but I did go back and play Diamond later.

I'm still not over the Pokemon bug. I'm sure it'll happen at some point.

I liked the Destiny Knot addition for breeding, since that made it much more lucrative and rewarding instead of the needlessly punishing busywork of prior generations. The Mega Evolutions were great, too, and the metagame felt balanced.

Then they added Z-moves with the stupidly long cutscenes and a bunch of other tweaks that made things boring, and then the GMax or w/e is so OP that battles end too quickly.

Also I DID play the first hour or so of Shield at a convention but I don't really count that as anything more than a demo. It just showed that Pokemon was no longer for me... at least until Legends came out. I'm hoping they continue going in that direction but IDK based on the Scarlet/Violet stuff I've heard.

Gen 1 - Yellow
Gen 2 - Gold
All Gen 3 games
Gen 4 - Diamond and Heart Gold
Gen 5 - Black 1 and 2
Gen 6 - Y and Alpha Sapphire
Gen 7 - Sun and Ultra Sun
Gen 8 - Shield

Gen 8's pre-release period put me off the series, but I later went back to play Shield (base game only, I didn't buy the DLC) solely because it was bundled with the used Switch I bought on Ebay. So far, I don't intend on playing Scarlet and Violet.
