I've always found the Uncharted 4/The Last Of Us/God of War 2018 to all be decent, but all those games are kinda lacking in imteresting gameplay and are basically the video game equivalents of "Oscar bait"

Gen 1 was great, and every other gen was a slowly degenerating, creeping into monotony capitalistic cash grab
Gen 4 is the last gen that is likeable in any way
People say that, but honestly I think they forget how much of a buggy unbalanced unplayable mess Gen 1 was. I've spoken to multiple people who realized they were projecting their Gen 2 nostalgia onto Gen 1
Pokes were still objectively more naturalistic and less cash-grabby. The patterns that made gen 6 trash were visible even in gen 2, except at such a mild level that they were even amusing. Namely, more trivial polka dots and stuff to make 'mons look different
Gen 2 was the best gameplay experience IMO.
Gen 2 Crystal version also had the objectively best pokemon animations until 2013 (And I still think they're subjectively better than the ones after 2013)
The thing is, a lot of Gen 1 designs were subtly redone in Gen 2 (and somewhat in Yellow IIRC), and the Gen 2 redesigns are the ones people really remember as classics. A lot of the sprites in Gen 1 look really weird, and probably not how you remember them
Those animations were good, but I have a soft spot for the animations in Gen 5.
Really, just Scrafty pulling up its...pants? Skin? Idk, that one idle animation is what I'm thinking about in particular, I love it lmao
Yeah I know but even the subtle redesign was still based off of the original gen 1 design.
Also I legit liked the gen 1 GameBoy ones better in many cases, especially with Bulbasaur, and most other forms of the starting 3, it looked cute
You're thinking of XY, he doesn't pull up his pants in Gen 5

All animations during the 13 years between Crystal version and Gen 6 are just distortions/translations/rotations. No actual animation in most cases. Though Scrafty actually has a tiny bit of animation where he closes his mouth and grumbles for a second.
Nope, around 30 seconds
Oh okay, scraggy not scrafty
Yea that's a funny animation. I still stand by all of them having awful unnecessary distortions for "filler" though
I mean, you're objectively right about the animations in general. I just have a soft spot for that one in particular, I have no idea why
