    The 3DS had it all, you can actually catch em all in this system
    The amount of regions you can explore just in one system is crazy
    Kanto = eshop
    Johto = eshop/remade for the DS and has backward compatibility with 3DS
    Hoenn = remaked for the 3DS
    Sinnoh = backward compatibility
    Unova = backward compatibility
    Kalos = introduced on 3DS
    Alola = introduced on 3DS
    Thanks to the backward compatibility with the DS and during XY/ORAS era (2016) they were giving mythical pokemon every month, making the goal catch em all possible, this was the first time actually able to catch all the pokemon and complete the pokedex
    If you have a hacked 3DS, people are working on getting Galar for the GBA and Paldea for the GB

    I think the 3DS was actually the second best era of Pokémon after the DS era. ORAS and the Alola games are some of my favorites in the series and X and Y had a lot of great things about it too and was one of the most important games in terms of the franchises evolution.

    The Sun and Moon defender has logged in, I personally would rate gen 7 *way* higher than gen 6. Having played through all four Alola games, I think Sun and Moon are actually a lot better story-wise than the Ultra games, Lillie and Lusamine's relationship makes a lot more sense and hits much harder without the Necrozma stuff mixed in, and it plays more directly into Guzma's implied history of abuse. USUM are definitely worth playing for all the added content like Ultra Wormholes and the Ultra Recon Squad lore, but SM has a way better, more personal story and I think both games are *much* stronger overall than ORAS or especially XY

They showed us mega mewtwo Y before we even knew what megas were and a new eeveelutions (Sylveon) without telling us what type it was, the speculation and theories was crazy. The reveal of mega evos and the fairy type was pretty huge they created a whole animation based off Gen 1 just to do a mega charizard X reveal at the end.

    I respectfully disagree that Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon are anywhere near the caliber and quality of Platinum, I think that Platinum should be the gold standard for what makes a “good” Pokemon game.
    All Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon added was more Pokémon, a “very slight” change to the story narrative, and a battle with Ultra Necrozma.
    Platinum added many story beat changes to the original Diamond and Pearl story that in some respects, make Platinum almost feel like an entirely different game that Diamond and Pearl.

    After X and Y and ORAS, pokemon games became worse and boring starting from S&M and USUM. Since then I get bored at pokemon games (not including Pokemon Legends Arceus)
    There was even a pokemon online battle or trade on Xand Y where you can literally speak with whoever you're connecting with. Developers/Nintendo for some reason, removed that capability later on.

    I love playing romhacks on my old3ds from 2012. I played alpha sapphire and ultra sun. I never played original ruby and sapphire but aplha sapphire was peak for me. Pretty environment, mega evolutions, long post game, engaging story , cool pokemon designs, There was certain level of freedom when you flew on your latias or latios around region. I finished it two times in total. Then Ultra Sun i sleep. Narrow routes and islands seem so small. I feel trapped there. Non stop npc dialog where you spam it fast to skip. Not to mention that mark on map where to go totally kill any sense of exploration. Fights were okay. They were a lot harder compared to alpha sapphire. The way they made this game is just bad for me.

Graphically, a retro style done well looks better than a modern style with no personality, Mii like avatars and frame rate drops. The fact sword and shield appeared to be derivative from a 3DS project pretty much doomed the switch too

      Emerald is a harder game, so it’s better for challenge runs.
      For a casual play through, ORAS is miles superior. Hoenn looks better, sounds better and has revamped areas like Mauville, the move animations look better, the physical special split, secret bases are better, dexnav, soaring, team Magma/aqua and your rivals are more well developed, you can actually rematch the elite four and champion with harder teams, mega evolution, Pokémon amie and all those touch screen features, the delta episode, Steven as champion instead of Wallace… need I go on?
      The only things Emerald has going for it is harder gym leaders who you can also rematch, 2d sprites looking better at times, and the battle frontier (which is incredibly tedious without modern conveniences like bottle caps, super training etc)
