>>15228287Look OP,
I LOVE Gen I. I grew up with it and even remember having my father surprise me by giving me a copy of Red the day it released in US and a copy of Green (Japanese version) he had brought back from a business trip earlier that year.
I have some Gens that I flat out dislike and think are deserving of a little bashing here and there because, hey, we're all constructively criticizing people right? Surely you have some concrete examples as to why you think any other of the newer Gens were "utter shit" right?
No.
People like you have made it completely painful for someone to even utter support for Gen I anymore without being labeled a MUH NUSTALGIAH HURR DURR faggot. You don't offer any cognitively sound reasons for you disdain over new gens other than "it's shit".
Gen I started it all. It's objectively harder to find flaws in something that first captured our attention and enjoyment for the first time. If you can't find anything else enjoyable about newer generations that you like (i.e the abundance of versatile designs, regions, mechanics and musical scores) then that's more of a YOU issue isn't it?
If you're having trouble getting interested in the newer generations I actually highly recommend the HG and SS gen II remakes. They provided that nostalgic feeling with a bit of life surged into them again which it sounds like what you're after because new things can't be good and it'll ruin my childhood yeah?
Hopefully you find some enjoyment in X/Y because it's fucking fun. Deal with it.
