Each generation of Pokemon just gets more fun as far as I'm concerned. Every new gen I play, I start considering new ways to play and build teams, and I'm always happy to try out silly teams with friends and have great times. The expansions were very fun and I'm glad we got a nice increase in available Pokemon. Wish the dex cut never happened, but I understand why it had to be done. Regardless, I love it very much and I'll miss it as gen 8 comes to a close.
