>Pokemon was never good
You just know it's coming from coping people who can't admit their favorite franchise has gone to shit over the year.
When Pokemon came out it got outstanding ratings from everywhere and it is STILL an excellent RPG, just not one who focuses on the story.
Gen 1 and Gen 2 get shat a lot by pokemon fans but they're loved by normies because they're games with a rich world to explore, cool critters and also a game that doesn't take itself too seriously. Nobody cares about "muh broken gameplay, muh story" beyond /vp/ autists who replay the same games over and over
