Literally the reason I got a Switch. Mario Oddessy was cool but this is what I was waiting for.

 

Friend thinks he wants Sword version but I usually wait until the legendaries are revealed before deciding.

 

Fire and Water starters look cool, grass is weird and lame.

I literally just received a secondhand 3DS from a friend and I'm waaay behind on the pokemon train.  Last game I played was the OG Ruby so I am starting back with Gen 3 and Alpha Sapphire to get my bearings.  Can't wait to play all the ones I missed!

Gen 3 is pretty meh imo.

Gen 4 is my fav.

Gen 5 is mixed but underwhelming imo.

Gen 6 I played late but was really good even though I rushed through it.

Gen 7 is short but very good.

I'm not as into Pokemon as some I guess but there's no denying it's popularity and relevance...

 

It's one of those  franchises that brings in a ton of new people every era which is kinda great...

 

Personally I have really on some level no problems with it... I just frequently play other games and engage other media

but with more time I could definitely increase the time learning about it.

lol, been thinking about getting a Switch for a bit now and between this and the new Fire Emblem definitely getting one now. Most likely picking the fire bunny starter as Virtually every version I've chosen the fire type as my starter lol.

I'll probably be using fire bunny too.

 

You should also pick up Mario oddessy it was a lot of fun.
