Tbh I thought that the team skull grunts looked pretty alright. (Tbf anything after the hideous flame grunts was bound to look acceptable)
And the "punk" trainers who look like the grunts w/normal clothes actually look like some of the better characters/models in the game imo.
Skull's personality was also really great. They were like one big silly family. Grunts have never gotten so much personality.
Especially in the last generation. So what do you gorls think the best generations are in order? Mine would be:
1. Gen 7
I don't think anyone would disagree with me, but I will admit they took out some stuff that was needed and was good, like fishing wherever you wanted to as long as it was in water. The teams were amazing and felt real, the new Pokemon are fantastic even if most of them are slow, and the story is the best in my opinion.
2. Gen 4
One of my favorites in terms of starters, Pokémon in general, the team, and my favorite part of the anime. This Gen will also never die because of Pokémon fan games. This part in the anime also had the best movies.
3. Gen 2
Best post game without a doubt. The Pokémon were great, and we get Team Rocket again. Anime was great like the first season, but sometimes went on forever before getting to another gym, having a bit too many random challenges along the way in my opinion.
4. Gen 1
Can't say much here. Better than the ones below, but not the ones above. Anime was great. But this one didn't have a rival, and don't say Gary Oak becauase he doesn't count and you know it.
5. Gen 5
Ok, here me out. I didn't think the Pokémon were great; They were probably the worst, but the story was amazing. I don't remember a story that went as long with the team or a team like this in general. Yes they were kind of bad, but I still some what liked them. This was the worst part of the anime.
6. Gen 6
Ok, so the reason I'm not putting this in last is because it added so many things that actually improved the game that were taken out. See this to know what exactly I'm talking about:
Also being able to tiptoe to catch stronger Pokemon was pretty cool to me. Thw anime was pretty good at this time.
7. Gen 3
So yeah, this gen is at the bottom. If I wasn't thinking about story or additions to the games outside of Pokémon and gyms and other things like that, this one would be number 5. I did like the teams, and the Pokemon were good, but nothing really stood out to me here other than the fact that there were two teams fighting against each other. This part of the anime was okay as well, but again, nothing too bad and nothing too good.
So when I talk about the generations, I'm not really factoring in remakes, only games about that specific generation. What do you gorls think, good or bad? I might put gen 3 where I said I might later, but for now, I think the story and additions were too good to say they were the worst. Yet.
