Now anytime someone says something good about Gen 4, people that already shitpost against it have more of a reason to cry "cringe opinion" using le epic reddit boogeyman.
Which is dumb considering these poll results also reflects /vp/'s opinions as well. As a collective, a larger portion of people here think that one of Gens 3, 4, or 5 is the best.
Also I don't think "first gen = best gen syndrome" is as prevalent as you guys think. Sure, it happens, but /vp/ honest to god thinks that it's the 100%, be all and end all reason that someone marks a Gen as their favorite, which is absolutely retarded.
