>>15376500I had slips of paper that gave a description of Gen I Pokemon and Gen VI Pokemon: they were the starter Pokemon for each gen (I excluded Pikachu as being a starter as that might have seriously led to extraneous variables in my data).
It played on nostalgia, because I would be under the assumption that some people would need their memory jogged a bit. The slips began with something involving remembering the Pokemon pictured, so there was some framing (it's a psychology course).
Overall, the goal was to see where people leaned in the analysis of Pokemon from old (Gen I) and new (Gen VI). The results were that the average score of those voting on the Gen I slips scored 7.5 out of 10, which read as "good" on the slips. However, Gen VI had an average of 4.3/ 10, which read as "below average."
Overall, the histograms for Gen I looked frightening compared to the ones for Gen VI.
This is my favorite slip I received back from a random participant.
