>>32284425Some of us actually started with gen I. It was amazing for the nostalgia. Everyone on the school yard had red or blue and a set of the cards. It was the best of times.
A lot of you here didnt. So its hard to understand.
Gen I actually had some challenge to it. I say some. But it was a lot more than gen II or III. Mons were actually hard to catch without false swipe or mean look. Abra was a bitch. The safari zone was fucked. Mewtwo the legendary had recover making it actually hard without the masterball. There was no autistic shiny hunting. The tv show was just taking off. No breeeing meant that some pokemon were very hard to get. Ie. Cant breed starters and trade with friends.
I remember one day a kid on the play ground had a bunch of mews from his older brothers gameshark. He told us all to bring our gameboys on wednesday. Everyone did and he just handed the mews out for pidgeys. Everyone lost their minds. That was the happiest i have seen friends ever.
The game was harder too. Didnt hold your hand. And the surprise of beating the elite four only to have to beat ONE MORE at the end was the first time for the series. The rest you already know theres a champion too. Little stuff like that.
I miss those days. You kids will never understand.
>stopped playing at gen III tho before people freak out
