    Sadly, I never had a DS/3DS. Started off with NES, SNES, N64 and a GBC all the way back in 99. Haven't had a Nintendo system since due to PC gaming and other consoles simply being better(Playstation 2 was really good). That means I missed out on Gen 3(albeit on GBA), 4, 5, 6 and 7(8 and 9 too but they're Switch titles). Despite having never owned or played them, I would probably give Gen 5 a ton of love/credit. Gen 4 isn't bad per se but when your regional Dex has 2 Fire Types that necessitates the 3rd installment to rectify that issue means they screwed up. Gen 5 did a lot though. Most Pokémon added for a given Generation, Seasons that modified game music and how you traverse the region and Gym Leaders that actually did something with respect to the story. Cherry on top, Victory lies before you. Nothing has come close since then. E4 theme is pretty good too and if you include the sequels… yeah even better.

    Pretty high praise for the games but I will still criticize the Black&White Anime.

    The DS era was the peak of the Pokémon franchise, even if it started off a little rough.

    Black and White are easily the best games, but the DS era gave them stiff competition. It's such a shame they are also the worst selling games in the franchise.

    They said DS, not 3DS.

    3DS is "technically" a DS in terms of design, albeit its successor. Kind of how the Switch 2 is basically the Switch 1 but stronger. Honestly, I don't care if 3DS titles are lumped in. Kind of insane how its been ~12 years(October of 2013) since Gen 6 came out and Gen 7 will be coming up on 9 years(November 2016). Feels like it was only yesterday too… man I feel old lol.
