Generation VIII

During the Pokémon Sword and Shield video game era, Greninja received most of his votes from fans during the Pokémon of the Year 2020 voting system. As voting results, it had finally become the #1 most popular Pokémon with fans worldwide, making it the winner of the Pokémon of the Year 2020. However, unfortunately, for most fans, Game Freak denied their request from them, so they have instead foregone the inclusion of Greninja for any of the Generation VIII Pokémon mainline video games, like Sword and Shield, the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra, making it unavailable in and untransferable to those games, and I would think that the most fans didn't care if Greninja had won Pokémon of the Year 2020. So despite being the Pokémon of the Year 2020 upon most vote from fans, I wonder why you think that Greninja was not in any of the Gen VIII mainline video games? Please let me know, thanks.😉

When you think of each generation, which Pokémon do you think of? This does not mean your favourites.

Here is my list:

Gen 1: Venusaur/charizard

Gen 2: Shuckle

Gen 3: Treecko/Kyogre

Gen 4: Heatran

Gen 5: Reshiram

Gen 6: Flabébé

Gen 7: Bruxish

Gen 8: Stonjourner

Gen 9: Flittle/Tandemaus

None of these pokemon are particularly my favourites so what pokemon do you think of?

Gen 1: Exeggcutor; its alolan counterpart gets all the fame

Gen 2: Skarmory/Delibird; dont lie, you thought these were both from hoenn

Gen 3: Nincada; idk what to say abt it

Gen 4: Stunky; you didnt know it existed, did you?

Gen 5: Alomoloma; its not a luvdisc evo, everyone turned away from it

Gen 6: Furfrou; all of its unique styles were just forgotten

Gen 7: Comfey; i had to strain my mind to remember this existed

Gen 8: Cursola; no-one talks about it enough, its so cool!

Gen 9: Veluza/Squawkabilly; these were just unnecessary - gamefreak desperately needed to get the dex number as high as possible to surpass 1000

What do you think are the most forgotten pokemon of each gen?

(i didnt do patrat/ elemental monkeys bc they are remembered for being forgotten, see?)

It's a long wait to Legends ZA, and I've completed Violet and Legends Arceus. I'm looking to get one of the older games on the Switch that are still enjoyable. My main preference would be Sword or Shield (Violet is my main game, and there are Pokemon from gen 8 that would be great for pvp in gen 9), but I'm happy to take other suggestions. My budget is around 50£ (but I can probably work my around that if need be).

PS: I'd like to stay focused on core series games, but I'll take suggestions.

It can be any gen. Mine is Sun and Moon (for the Pokemon TCG)

Hey i Removed the Draco and Arcto but is zolt and Vish.

One of the biggest mysteries of the main series games is that 9 generations in they still don't have voice acting with minimal exceptions such as the player character grunting in Legends: Arceus when making an impact or dodging, but this is removed in Scarlet and Violet. I started playing Detective Pikachu Returns which I got for Christmas and the way voice acting works is interesting. It has cutscenes which are fully voiced either while advancing the story, meeting a new character, or just talking to Pikachu. Then in the overworld, there's some one liners, grunts, Pokémon cries, and other sounds used when initiating a conversation while the full conversation is just text. I feel like if they ever add Voice Acting (maybe in Generation 10), they should take after Detective Pikachu and have fully voiced cutscenes and short quips when talking to a character in the overworld. Of course our protagonist could remain silent like they always are or maybe they could give several voice options to choose from or a single male voice and a single female voice. They should also bring back the grunting from Legends: Arceus if they continue with the open world formula. And of course people who don't want voice acting can turn it off like the talking flowers in Mario Wonder. And finding actors shouldn't be too much of a problem as they already do it for the anime and Masters EX. They would just be finding the actors ahead of time.

What do you think? Should Generation 10 add voice acting? If so, is Detective Pikachu a good template?
