For games like Sun and Moon that are surpassing sales records and are on pace to match, and possibly surpass, X and Y LT sales and garned positive reception from fans and critics, its weird hearing such a comment.

The game sold really well but that's not an argument for quality. Besides the records are super contextual, like it was the fastest selling Nintendo game in the UK/NA, but Pokemon games have been doing that for a while(X/Y was the previously fastest selling Nintendo games). Probably won't outsell the 3 most popular generations(unless you include Ultra Moon and Sun)

I get that and it's really hard to say which record was broken at times. Nevertheless, the games are successful and most fans appeared to have like these games for what they are. I'm not saying that they're the GOATs or something but it's kinda weird hearing someone say that the series is destroyed by one new generation of games in which it's hard for me to believe. Granted, I personally like Pokémon Sun for some of its change-ups from the usual formula so maybe that's what's making me disagree, but even then I don't usually hear people completely bad mouth the generation like that. Though it's his opinion so more power to him.
