Oh, yes. And the shark has a N64 number of polygons, and they tried to copyright the term "jumping the shark". But it's okay, because there's a horde of dumb people that will buy it anyway.

As someone who hasn’t played a pokemon game since Gen 3, what are they like these days? Have they totally jumped the shark?

It definitely depends on how much they incorporate improvements from Legends: Arceus (one of the side games). Gens 6 - 8 were all so easy that a popular way to play each of those is with a difficulty mod, if you are able.
Gen 9 tried to mix it up a bit, but as another user mentioned the performance on the Switch was so poor that it was hard to enjoy.
Legends: Arceus has introduced several quality of life features that could be game changing if they make it into Winds & Waves, but we shall see. This could be the most fun mainline gen, if they do it right, or they could fumble it again.

Arceus turned the whole game into pokemon snap with balls. Or the safari zone. It wasn’t good, unless you like playing pokemon games to catch every pokemon as fast as possible

Not only that, Arceus is terribly empty

I meant to say Z-A. My bad. Arceus didn’t really hold my attention, likely for the reason you mention.

I’ve played every main-line and reboot pokemon game since they came out. I didn’t finish Scarlet and Violet, it was so bad, also didn’t finish Legends Arceus cause it was so lazy, and I’ve never played Legends Z-A. They’ve stopped putting in any amount of effort, so why should I bother to play them?

My wife is a true blue pokemon fan, even loved Sword and Shield…
And even she couldn’t finish ZA.

Terrible. They are terrible today. The last game pair they put out was an absolute joke in every regard.
I recommend never giving them another penny.

Sounds good, I’ll continue to emulate Soul Silver and Emerald on my phone 😁

DS generations are probably the last ones worth playing - although hard to emulate on a phone with comfortable controls, I’d imagine.

I think I tried Platinum for a bit but yeah it was too cumbersome to play on my phone.
