I completely agree with this. In my opinion 'The Legend of Spyro' series was really great series due to the fact that it put a new perspective on how spyro was born and I really enjoyed the trilogy in general. The classic spyro games (in my opinion, you know like the ones with Ripto) and 'The Legend of Spyro' games were gold as this meme says.
Then Skylanders was born, and i think this game series has completely ruined Spyro's rep (not to mention I was not very keen on the redesign they decided to shove into our faces with both spyro and cynder. Also did you know that Skylanders only came into being because there was going to be a movie based on the games (yes, you read that right) but it was canceled.
