Before we boldly go into a brand new generation of Pokémon, we need to talk about the one we're leaving behind. An immediate retrospective may not be as crucial as a belated one, but I think it's important to try to capture some of the sentiment of the fanbase during this section of our beloved franchise. Almost like a time capsule to see what it was like to actually be a part of it... Now of course Gen 8 is far more than just Sword and Shield, it includes their DLC's, spin-off games, remakes, and everything in between, including the most surprising turn the Pokémon Company has taken since they turned Ash to stone in the first movie to cap the generation off! But is it enough...?
