Emerald May is flat and has a shitty co!or combo.
>>
1. Wrap/Bind and its inability to attack
2. Levels
3. Changing bikes
4. Getting a Munchlax
5. No items for you from Gen 4!
6. Still no items and incomplete Kalos story.
>>
Gen 1: eventually too short and doesn't have as much features as the rest
Gen 2: old G/S/C - phonenumber limit, HG/SS - level scaling
Gen 3: shitty routes, HMbullshit all the time, 2 bikes
Gen 4: exposition and dialogue keeping you from playing in the beginning
Gen 5: can't say much yet

The abundance of legendaries and cross-gen evolutions make the actual dex feel incredibly small
>Gen 5
The insistance on establisihng the dex as its own thing with no connection to others 'Mons made it feel like a Pokemon clone rather than a new Generation
>Gen 6
Panders to Gen 1 and casuals so much that it barely feels like its own gen and more like a rehash

1 : looks ugly (and I'm 30)
2 : most of Johto Pokémon are Kanto Pokémon
3 : no trade or import possible with GSC
4 : theee gaaames aaare slooow
5 : ugly graphics in battle
6 : no postgame, washed up colors and stupid black lining
7 : same as above except we don't know for postgame

I don't understand why we can't have models à la Pokémon Go or PSMD
>>
>>28293768
1. Psychic typing
2. Protags
3. Having to beat the first gym 5th & bike changing
4. Not having much access to event legends (Arceus and Manaphy)
5. Unova only Pokemon
5(2). No daycare until late-game
6. Never played I guess no legendary trio
>>
>>28293768

How hard Psychic-types dominated because of shitty balancing.

New types very limited and not well implemented.

Gen 1 worst fucking move pools and shittiest box system

Gen 2 stupidest fucking level distribution

Gen 3 shittiest availability of pokemon early to mid game

Gen 4 shit map structure and dependency of hms

Gen 5 was perfect

Gen 6 is god awful beta test bullshit crap fest because of the transition of sprites to 3D. Gamefreak just can't fucking do it. They should have stayed 2D.
>>

Broken/lack of content

Lack of post game
>>
1. Did not age well in terms of balance and variety
2. Leveling makes the game way too easy
3. Too much surfing
4. Too many evolutions that weren't even available in the main story
5. Map is way too linear
6. Felt very incomplete (Pokedex, story, etc.)
>>
>>28293886
>gen 6
How Fairies dominated due to shitty balancing
>>
1. Walking all the time
2. Worst generation of starters (Sorry, Cyndaquil!)
3. Too much water!
4. Forgettable story
5. Couldn't play with my 'bro
6. Tierno

Upon reflection, I think I really enjoy even-numbered generations.

Gen 1: No real replay value.

1
The inventory systems makes me sooo mad >,< I't just too small at every instance and so clunky to sort through

2
Ugh, the level curve is just terrible !!
Every time I play pokemon, I use a full team, and I always get stuck grinding in Johto cause there just is not enough experience to go around -.-

3
The graphics... they're really ugly <.<

4
It's just so freaking sluggish... Like the whole game is a under water level...

5
I like story... but please stop talking to me every time I reach a new screen! I just want to play the d*am game!

6
Lumiose City is absurd. I get lost every time, and the camera is pure fail.

>Red/Green/Blue
Shit enemy teams.
>Yellow
Can't evolve Pikachu.
>GS
Shitty encounter tables. Evolution stones locked behind postgame. Dumbed down empty Kanto when they could've really fleshed out Johto with that space and made it truly amazing.
>Crystal
Stripped Mobile Adapter features from international release. Still has dumbed down empty Kanto and doesn't improve Johto much.
>RS
Shittiest spritework in the series. Wally doesn't get the screentime he deserves as a proper Rival in favor of shitty May/Brendan. Awkward middle of the road battle mechanics.
>FRLG
Awkward middle of the road battle mechanics.
>Emerald
Same as RS, plus having the best Battle Facility-related content in the series trapped in the least competitively accessible game.
>DP
Shitass regional dex with a lot of the new Pokemon restricted to postgame arbitrarily.
>Platinum
There were story elements I liked in DP that were changed for what I feel were the worse despite the overall improvement. The Platinum Frontier is shit compared to the Emerald Frontier.
>HGSS
Ruins GSC's perfect aesthetics. Ignores Crystal's improved encounter tables. Does not solve any of GSC's flaws and does not go the full distance needed to truly solve any of the problems it does try to solve.
>BW1
Poor story despite the heavy focus on it. Cheren is the worst rival ever except for maybe RSE May/Brendan. Extremely linear exploration during maingame.
>BW2
Arbitrarily cutting a few areas from BW1.
>XY
Smallest postgame in the series tied with RBY overall. Lumiose has no map.
>ORAS
Ignores almost every Emerald addition, despite Emerald being the third version with the most impactful changes, instead of trying to gracefully integrate them with the classic splits of RS and the game's new elements. Gave the New Mauville dungeon a beautiful visual overhaul only to strip the dungeon itself. Zinnia is the worst character in the franchise.

Yep, that's about all the problems I personally have with the games.

XY: Really easy, not much to do after E4
OrAs: Too easy, too short
>>
RB: Limited bag, fucked up battle mechanics
GS: Level curve
RS: Many old Pokémon not available
DP: Boring region and characters
BW: Linearity

>>28294319
I like Gen 2 graphics, but HGSS is the most fucking beautiful game.

Also, liking DP story and not BW.

Wtf
>>
>>28294623
HGSS isn't super ugly or anything, though I really don't like how any of the grass short or tall looks. I just much prefer how Gen II looks, both in the general art direction and the GBC color palette. UI too. Even then I prefer the looks of any of the other DS titles to it on its own too.

As for DP, just two little things I don't like that they changed. How you first get your starter, and where you first meet Cyrus. I liked both of those better in DP than Platinum. The first because it was original and stands out as unique in how you get your starter, and the whole Red Gyarados documentary ties in with HGSS which supposedly take place at the same time, and an NPC in the postgame sloppily still refers to it despite the documentary no longer being in the game. The latter because it makes a nice bookends where the first place you meet Cyrus is where you eventually defeat him, at Mt. Coronet. That's all.

BW1's story basically exists entirely to make Ghetsis seem threatening, cunning, and evil. It succeeds in that. However, Team Plasma themselves and the whole pitch of them to the player in promotional material and the first encounter with them in the game are terribly handled. And it never really does much other than the central Plasma plot. Bianca's little subplot with her dad is okay and had a great idea behind it, but they didn't spend enough time fleshing it out. You get her dad freaking out about her going on a journey at the start, she leaves anyways, and you don't hear anything else about it until he pops up at Nimbasa out of nowhere and gives up after a brick of text from Elsea.
>>
>RBY: Using HMs only works by opening the menu. Also no select option and the game is really annoying to play in general.
>GSC: Battery dying and makes playing it feel kinda worthless if your save dies at some point.
>RSE: Easily the worst graphic/sprite style in the entire series. The world in general, the overworld characters, the menues, everything looks awful to me.
>DPP: Post game is not the worst in the series but could have been better
>BW: I'm not a huge fan of the map. Also something about the battles seems... off.
>B2W2: Coming from someone who always catches them all and pretty much always completes games I like 100%: This games have way too much shit content you don't care about and are not fun to do. It also gets even worse when you care about the medals too. Fuck those and fuck them hard. I'd rather have slighty too less post-game like in XY than this shit.
>XY: A few characters getting close to Pokèmon Colosseum in the 'worst character design of all time' category.

>>
Gen 1: No movepools(FRLG: doesn't mix it up enough)
Gen 2: Everything(HGSS: Fixed nothing)
Gen 3: Physical/Special Split hasn't happened yet(ORAS: tripling the animation length for soaring because for some bizarre fucking reason it needs to mega evolve)
Gen 4: Horrible slow engine
Gen 5: Fucking stupid evolution levels that you can't even reasonably reach in the first game to begin with that ruin so many Pokémon ingame usage
Gen 6: I find it strangely difficult to replay, even though I loved the first runs.
