gen 1 will always be the best because it was the gen that completely took over the planet and drove people to "pokemon-mania". no other game has had that effect and every other after has merely basked in it's radioactive glow of incredibly good character design. charizard doesn't get shilled because gamefreak needs charizard to be important, charizard gets shilled because he prints fucking money. most freedom in pokemon games, meta still updating in competitive, speedrun leaderboards one of the most active, cards from generation soon to be selling in the hundreds of thousands. seventh greatest selling game ever created as of 25 years, all the games above it are multiplatform in count. the gameboy came out in 1989 and sold 64 million units, pokemon came out in 1996 and sold 47 million units. kneel.
