>>53839741Pokémon is unrecognizable because of genwunners, not in spite of them. All the retarded bullshit they've lumped onto the series over the years has been a direct result of Gayfreak needing new and innovative ways to shill the Kanto starters and Kanto shitmons over and over and over and over again. Megas, Z-Moves, Gigantamax, Regional variants, Convergent species, all of it was made to shill Kantoshit again. Let's not forget the incessant nostalgia pandering in Gens 7 and 8 either, the entirety of LGPE, or the further casualization of the series sparked by GO, a game that started with only Kanto mons.
