It probably was. I was born in 1995 in Germany too and we all grew up with the Kanto anime and the Johto games. Many of us first played GS then RBY. All of his criticisms come definitely from a “I didn’t grew up in that era” position. When we played these games, we didn’t even know what a level curve was. Neither did anyone even notice that Johto mons aren’t used in gyms because they were NOT seen as different gens. That came with SR where many were disappointed that you couldn’t trade your bros from GSC anymore.
