Yeah 2025 would be 8 years, which is NOT typical for Nintendo. The only time Nintendo had a longer generation was with the Game Boy. It released in 1989, the Game Boy Color in 1998, which is 9 years if you think the GBC was the next-gen handheld for Nintendo. If you consider the 2 as 1 generation then we are talking 2001 for the Game Boy Advance.
