Not to say gen I is better or that new gens are worse, but we seriously need to keep this in mind more when discussing these designs
Gen I had some pretty lackluster designs that are fondly remembered because official art had the same pizzazz as fanart, I disliked pokemon like Grimmsnarl or the Paldea starters a lot, but now I like them, because fanart made me like them
