We'll mourn its passing but celebrate how G4 was the first Generation to really get it right

G1 had all of the right elements but never put them in the right place. It also didn't really have a proper ending.

G1.5 wasn't horrible but it wasn't good, it had a wonderful set up with the mystery behind Patch but then in just ended.

G3 well it wasn't the worst but it was also barely decent, it was cute but the plots were so simple and there were so many animation errors and the characters didn't have any unique traits. It to just ended.

G4 has the right elements, puts them in the right place, and normally has some pretty complex plots. It had plenty of bad moments at first, I think it took a while to really take flight but I think that once it hit the Sonic Rainboom episode it really took off. The writers know that season 9 is the curtain call for real this time and they've prepared a proper ending.
