>>50204554>TL;DR if they like gens 1-5 let them be. If they like gens 6-8 give them hell. PLA is the only modern mainline game worth allowing on the board.No thanks. This is silly and lacks a-lot of nuance. IMAGINE gatekeeping a franchise as big and popular as Pokemon. The absolute irony of it all, too. Considering how often Gen 5 gets praised around the playerbase now. That no one seems to give a shit about what that game was trying to tell them.
Also can we please stop pretending that Gen 1 - 5 is some collective? There are oldfags who stopped playing this series ages ago because it remained the same for so long. Those players, and the general gaming public, have been calling Pokemon a stagnant franchise since forever. "Golden era" brats have no right be elitist about anything.
