No, not really. I think Black and White look horrible, but I didn't play the games yet.

In fact, I honestly believe they got better with each generation. Pokemon Red was half assed, regardless of what you purists say.

The games got better with each generation. I've played Red/Blue/Yellow, in retrospect, they were terribly designed with some bland Pokemon names and designs. Understandable, Gamefreak did not expect the games to do well and were experimenting with what to do.

Generation 2 was better, definitely an improvement.
Generation 3 was amazing, introducing abilities, natures, the current IV/EV system and some interesting Pokemon. They really started shaping up.
Generation 4 improved even more, adding the special/physical split and even more unique and interesting Pokemon.
Generation 5 is easily the best so far. Added tons of excellently designed and cleverly named Pokemon, implemented a myriad of new toys to play with in the metagame, and even dares to question the very premise of the entire series. Not to mention putting in some actual character development.

All in all, the Pokemon games get better over time, and hopefully continue the trend in the 6th generation.

Hurray for Pokemon.

I agree. Red/Blue/Yellow (and Green if you want to include the split Japan had) were clearly a "Beta" for the series. Subsequent additions added/changed things to improve the overall quality and gameplay experience.

I am also confident that there will be a sixth generation. Although...I kinda wonder if it will be on the 3DS or on some other system. I actually joked about how the games were appearing on smaller and smaller cartridges as the number of Pokémon increased. We started with 151 on a 2 inch square cartridge...and now we have more than 640 on something the size of a postage stamp and ALMOST as thick! I wonder...

"Hey man! Did you get Pokémon Puce and Mauve?"
*sniff* "Yeah, but..."
"But what? What's wrong?"
*sniff* "I accidentally swallowed them! I thought they were my meds!"
