What will remind us of the fourth generation?: Difference between revisions

tagline=The legacy that Diamond and Pearl offer to leave |

blurb=An exposition of what the franchise has remembered from past generations and what will be remembered in the generation to come. Slight adaptation from a post made on SPPf. }}

Ever since the first handheld RPGs were created and released, each generation has left some sort of legacy on the franchise as a whole that has served to steer the paths the game has taken throughout its decade-long existence. While some things, such as the Pokemon offered in each new generation, are very noticeable and bound to make an impression on the franchise regardless of the circumstances, other things are more subtle and harder to notice without closer inspection. Keeping this in mind, some generations have left a less noticeable footprint than others, contributing less Pokemon and features to the game as a whole, yet ultimately every generation gets a share in the stakes.
