/vp/ easily identifies somebody as a genwunner in the same fashion our ancestors (and some people in several developing countries) identified witches. Genwunners do exist, and oh, are they obnoxious. They played when their friends played, they quit when their friends quit, but they remember the feeling, they remember liking it, and now, as adults, they want to retain that feeling. The fact that there are different varieties of these people (those who only like gen 1, those who only like the first 2 gens, those who only like the first gens, etc.) proves this, as pokemon popularity on the playground varies from year to year and from place to place. Then they gather on filthy social networks, sharing their close minded beliefs among themselves. They post pictures of Vannilite and Trubbish, unusual pokemon designed to fight the standard, to shock, to invoke, to keep the franchise fresh, but here used as mere strawmen to "prove" their point that pokemon has gone down the drain. Ladies and Gentlemen, do not hate them, but pity them. They won't get that feeling back they used to have when playing with their friends, using the link cable to get the version exclusives, talking about phony ways to find mew way back. They say humans are bad at knowing what really makes them happy. All it would take is picking that handheld back up, exploring the new regions, finding new pokemon, but alas... It's a lost cause.
