It's not nostalgia. The quality drop is very real.

Newer Pokemon are mostly one of the 3 following things:
- rehashes of the already existing designs
- non-sencial mixture that ultimatively doesn't look like anything
- Digimon rip-off

Yeah, I'm trying to give the new generation a chance, but even the new Pokemon they just revealed are trash, except for maybe that cube that turns into the beetle, that's okay.

I never thought they could f*ck up a dragon like they did when they made the Never Ending story one, it was so bad...

The legendaries are okay but don't feel like Pokemon and good God, that water starter, smh...

You people tell me it's nostalgia, but I don't think that's it. The Pokemon after Generation 4, can't be called Pokemon, except for a really small amount.

I'm sure the game play for the game will be good since always the same formula with improvements, but people say that to defend the series when in reality the Pokemon are everything, which is why they're always making new ones and clearly they can't make them like they used to.

Even the show became trash after the second generation when they toned everything down and made it copy and paste.

People say, well, it's for the new generation of kids to enjoy and I had mine, but they're not even that successful as they used to be.

Pokemon is trash now but I don't want it to be.

I just needed to rant a little bit to get that off my chest.
Aside from the disgusting Pokemons, I never really understood why Ash isn't aging, like did everything he had done so far in previous seasons even occured? Seems like he uses his older Pokemon from time to time, but nothing suggests him being a pro at what he does. It's always the same formula and nothing interesting happens.

The series is garbage, but I definitely enjoyed the games of the first 3 to 4 generations.

The OP is talking about the games. As for the anime, don't think about it too much. It has an inconsistent continuity treating some events as if they happened and some as if they didn't. Every season is to be considered a soft reboot and, while there are connections, the previous seasons should just be forgotten.

That's just how they roll.

The only anime-stuff from Pokemon that can be considered as "good", is the very first movie about Mew/Mewtwo and the 4-episode special "Pokemon Origins", which is based on the videogame-series, without Ash.

A bunch of people really need to message Nintendo and Game Freak on Twitter, and tell them to hold a fan-art contest to and award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners' art into Sun and Moon. BOOM! Everyone wins.

Ya know what...I'm gonna do that right now.
