>>27184949>opinionit ceases to be an opinion when it's a demonstrable fact.
it is a FACT that gen 1 is littered with bugs, sprite errors, and limiting mechanics that were fixed in later gens.
if you want to pretend that kids don't experience that, just try and fight sabrina. oh, you know ghost types are super effective? oh wait, gen 1 psychic types were IMMUNE to ghost types!
or maybe try and use focus energy and get confused as you suddenly stop getting crits.
call gen 1 your favourite, whatever, but don't pretend gen 1 is the best.
hell, I know gen 2 isn't the best either, but it's still my favourite, and I acknowledge the problems that it had.
pretty much the only reason people still claim gen 1 is their favourite is, and do not pretend otherwise, nostalgia. they grew up with gen 1, it was their first pokemon game(in many cases their first game ever), and yes, that's a valid reason to claim it as your favourite. hell, it's largely why gen 2 is my favourite.
