>>37102627Yeah can even remember a time when Pokemon wasn't a thing at all. My friend's older sister was a massive weeb who got us into the anime and then the games. Those were the days of being ignorant and everything seemed new.
>>37102642 is right though. R/B are filled with glitches and mechanics that didn't work properly, but for the time they were revolutionary that managed to spawn the series into what it is today. You can the origins of anything that's been around as long or longer than Pokemon and easily pick out how flawed it is, that's the nature of things. Ideas evolve, change and get better with age. Until they reach a climax
Gen 5 and spiral downward into an abyss.
