My heart hurts each time I realized Sun/Moon is almost 10 years old... I was a teen when those games came out 😭

No contest between ORAS and XY. ORAS is one of Pokémon's best

The 3DS had it all, you can actually catch em all in this system
The amount of regions you can explore just in one system is crazy

Kanto = eshop
Johto = eshop/remade for the DS and has backward compatibility with 3DS
Hoenn = remaked for the 3DS
Sinnoh = backward compatibility
Unova = backward compatibility
Kalos = introduced on 3DS
Alola = introduced on 3DS

Thanks to the backward compatibility with the DS and during XY/ORAS era (2016) they were giving mythical pokemon every month, making the goal catch em all possible, this was the first time actually able to catch all the pokemon and complete the pokedex

If you have a hacked 3DS, people are working on getting Galar for the GBA and Paldea for the GB

No one said they were bad? They are the best 3d Pokémon games out there

"i feel like helen keller could tell hes the leader of team flare"😭

I loved Pokemon Sun & ultra sun 'Because' it didn't feel like a major pokemon game

It felt like they were taking more risks and not feeling like they had to keep following the same pokemon formula of gyms

[pendlix]

3ds is peak gaming when it comes to pokemon cuz u can play every game up to ultrasun ultramoon

[andyfloss.]

3DS/DS Pokemon was my childhood. Maxed the timer on Omega Ruby

[sandysantos]

"some people preferred the 3D models because they're wrong." 😂

[enoquecappellettedelavechi]

At least we can all agree that Pokemon died on the Switch
Except for Legends Arceus that game was like a 6.5/10

[Shinntoku]

The Sun and Moon defender has logged in, I personally would rate gen 7 *way* higher than gen 6. Having played through all four Alola games, I think Sun and Moon are actually a lot better story-wise than the Ultra games, Lillie and Lusamine's relationship makes a lot more sense and hits much harder without the Necrozma stuff mixed in, and it plays more directly into Guzma's implied history of abuse. USUM are definitely worth playing for all the added content like Ultra Wormholes and the Ultra Recon Squad lore, but SM has a way better, more personal story and I think both games are *much* stronger overall than ORAS or especially XY

3ds pokemon games were amazing. I remember when X/Y came out I begged my parents to buy it for me. I had countless hours playing that game and it will always have a special place because it was the first Pokémon game where I could be my skin color. To actually have unique character customization and feel like it’s truly your own Pokémon journey. Even ORAS while having less customization due to it being a remake was great both gameplay wise and added storyline. I truly enjoyed this era of pokemon and honestly hope we can return to this format versus the ongoing format we currently use

[Ben-tdwi]

I think the 3DS was actually the second best era of Pokémon after the DS era. ORAS and the Alola games are some of my favorites in the series and X and Y had a lot of great things about it too and was one of the most important games in terms of the franchises evolution.

[soulslayergamer]

Who even said it was bad on the DS? I mean mean look at the new Games on Switch!

[princemannic]

im a fan of team skull personally. it changes from the trend of villain groups scaling up and up in terms of their evil plans
we go from rocket just trying to get a bag to eco system destruction to cyrus wanting to reset it all. so the silly thugs felt like a nice change of pace

[sayless]

White 2, heartgold, omega ruby, platinum, black 🔥🔥

[phileon]

I've never seen a single person claim that the 3ds era was the best

[slomari]

the community 2013-2015 was unmatched my god this was over 10 years ago im feeling like the gen oners back then

[bryantbautista]

This was also the era where the games were released worldwide at the same time. No more priority to Japan and trickling out elsewhere.

[alphamarigi]

Who the f says it's the peak of the series? Most people agree the DS games are the best
