*They were games that we played countless times. They no longer have the capacity for wonder.
* The paradigm changes over time.
* The myth of the Genwunner hurt him a lot. New players became obsessed with hating them.
* Its virtues are ignored (music, maps, immersion, ideas, personality, world building, etc.) and its defects are exaggerated (bugs, bugs, bugs, those bugs require ridiculous sequences, you will never see them in casual games).
*GF only uses Gen 1 as bait for casual players. He never made a remake up to par, he only adapted RBY to the rules of the new generation in question. Zero love and effort. The hatred of zoomers is amplified. I'm a big fan of Gen 1, but if a remake were announced, I couldn't expect anything but laziness and apathy from GF. It is the harsh reality.
* It's highly frowned upon in the fandom to say good things about Gen 1. It means you're an old fashioned old man who refuses advancements. This happens a lot with YouTubers who just say "they were the first games." People just want to look cool and modern.
* They don't have story and fanservice like lolis or waifus with tits or big asses, and that is unacceptable with the current paradigm.
