A phenomina in the Pokémon Community. About 8-10 years after a generation of Pokémon releases, the people who grew up with the generations start glazing the games to death. Sometimes generations are skipped in the cycle (like Gen 2 and Gen 6) and usually join another generation's fans (like Gen 2 fans joining Gen 4 fans due to HGSS).
The cycle started off with Genwunners in the early 2000s-early 2010s, then Gen 3 fans in 2013 with "Hoenn Confirmed!", then Gen 4 fans/Sinnohfetuses in 2017, and then Genfivers in 2021. It will likely shift to Gen 7 fans in a year or two since Pokémon Sun and Moon turns 10 next year.

"I've seen people praising Gen 7 online more recently. Is the Pokémon Nostalgia Cycle shifting again?"

Get the Pokémon Mega EX mug.One who prefers the romantic companionship of a cheap folding lawn chair to that of men and women. Showers infrequently. Known to get very aggressive and loud in the presence of o small children and anyone else trying to buy Pokémon cards before they have cleared the shelf. Signs include camping out in front of gamestops and targets in the hopes of scalping Pokémon cards. A more advanced example would be a card shop owner who hits every Costco buying all the Pokémon cards in hopes of scalping.
