>there are people in this thread who genuinely think starting with a different generation would kill the series
man, you're dumb. the series survived after the pokemania, the "cool new thing" phase started to disappear, because masuda wanted to prove it was more than just a fad man, he was completely different man back then
nostalgia is a powerful drug; things like vanilluxe would just be unpopular and rarely mentioned, people would love cool shit like scolipede or excadrill instead
seriously, why do you think charizard gets so much shit nowadays? because it has "baby's first dragon" syndrome thing going on
