>the new gen designs are uninspiredDugtrio is three Diglett, Magneton is three Magnemite, and Electrode is an upside-down Voltorb
>the new gen designs aren't even animalsExeggcute, Voltorb, Magnemite, Grimer... Hell, Mr. Mime and Jynx are practically just humans.
>the new gen designs are just animalsPidgeot, Beedrill, Ekans, Persian, Tentacool, Ponyta, the list goes on.
>they just get biggerPidgeot again, as well as Primape, Arcanine, Poliwrath from Poliwhirl, Rapidash, and Dewgong.
>they look just like Digimon!Blastoise has those weapons plastered on, Mr. Mime and Jynx are just humans, and don't get me started on Slowbro.
>overdesigned!Nobody knows what the hell the Nidos are, same with Alakazam, Slowbro, Rhydon, and Magmar.
>not detailed enough!There are plenty of FE Gen 1 mons that are less detailed than some NFE newer gen mons.
>too cartoonish, not realistic enough!Pokemon had a cartoonish, not-realistic art style from the beginning.
Now, for all the things not about monster designs...
>gen 1 didn't have a stupid storyGen 1 had next to NO story.
>gen 1 has an actual rivalGen 2 had a better rival who not only makes you want to beat him up at the beginning, but gets actual character development over time.
>gen 1 isn't casualizedOn the contrary, every mainline Pokemon is casual as hell; you can't even get a Game Over.
>but the spinoffs!Most of the spinoffs were, are, and will be great.
>gen 1 sold the mostIf selling well is all it takes to be a good game, then explain everything made by Bethesda ever.
>gen 1 started the seriesSuddenly Sonic 1 is the best Sonic game, even though everybody knows that Sonic 3 is superior.
>but what about the show?The show was as bad then as it was now. Maybe even worse, considering that half the badges Ash got in Kanto were pity badges.
