As someone who hasn’t played a pokemon game since Gen 3, what are they like these days? Have they totally jumped the shark?

Terrible. They are terrible today. The last game pair they put out was an absolute joke in every regard.

I recommend never giving them another penny.

Sounds good, I’ll continue to emulate Soul Silver and Emerald on my phone 😁

DS generations are probably the last ones worth playing - although hard to emulate on a phone with comfortable controls, I’d imagine.
