what the fuck has been going on in pokemon over the last decade???
well the decade before that they figured out that the best way to sell the public more pokemon games is by coming up with more and more pokemons, meaning they were incentivized to decrease the thought/quality put into each design and make them rounder bc easier to draw/animate, and stick random patterns on them to create an illusion of diversity.
This decade they kinda realized that there's maybe too many pokemon because 15023409853609898504 is kind of a big number so they're dealing with it and cashing in on nostalgiabux at the same time by just reworking the old ones
They have also realized that since the owners of capital are basically all white (+ Japan) that they should branch out and make settings limited to every european or european-settled location, and nothing else
I don't think It has ever been less than ~65, since I started playing in gen 4 there have been as high as (I think) 150 new ones in gen 5. Although I feel like nostalgia plays a much more important role how people rate the designs as I tend to like gen 4-7s designs more so than others, although I would say I still like the new ones more than gen 1.
I mostly just play fan games now when I play instead of the official games, pokemon Uranium, Insurgent, and Rejuvenation all being ones I've enjoyed (although I have never finished rejuvenation as It is incredibly long (probably over 200 hours If you do all the sidequests) and more importantly in my case, incredibly difficult).

What's the rate of new Pokemon/game generation? Is it still 50 or so?
