Which is exactly why I stopped playing after Gen 2, which was the peak of the series IMO. If you want to see everything the series has to offer, just play Gold/Silver (or their remakes on the DS). No reason to waste time and money on any other Pokémon game.

Terabytes of the same game, just in different colors.

I kinda agree, but B2/W2 was actually peak Pokémon. You should give those games a go, it’s samey but polished to rubbish-bag shiny perfection.

Gen 4 was peak IMO, both the new Pokemon as well as the best remakes ever made.

Pokemon Black/White 1 & 2 are as close to that as you want. Great story, amazing songs that i still hum to this day, and the designs are as solid as Gen 1 and 2.

Radical Red and Polished Crystal are peak, in my opinion. I can’t go back to the lack of special/physical split, it’s just awful.

Have you tried Unbound?

I have! It was great as well. I think it’s my favorite original romhack so far. I’m planning on playing Insurgence next, although that’s a fan-game as opposed to real romhack.

I really liked Prism. And I don’t know, Radical Red just played different from how I like my single player pokemon experience.

Sort of. The same game, over and over, each time in a different colour, each time with a higher pixel density, each time a little bit worse.
