-It has been nearly a decade since the North American release of {{bp|Pokémon Gold and Silver}}. It has also been nearly a decade since {{bp|Game Freak}} and {{bp|Nintendo}} has wowed me with a new installment of the series. The follow-ups to Gold and Silver, {{bp|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire}}, were the first real misstep in the series. The first games to have serious flaws. The first games in the series I found to be a chore to complete.

 Before the release of a true sequel, we saw the release of enhanced-remakes of the original {{bp|Pokémon Red and Green}}, {{bp|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen}}. These games, being nothing more than the original games with a fresh coat of paint, confirmed suspicions I had while playing Sapphire; Game Freak had begun coasting. They had started to disregard what made the series so iconic, so acclaimed, so addictive. Pokémon had entered a common phase of widely popular series, one that many never get out of.
