>>37641116Pokemon changed from you experiencing your adventure to you watching someone else's story. In Gen 1 and 2, Team Rocket is around, sure, and there's a story there, but the overall story is based around you. You aren't saving the world, you aren't figuring out why an evil villain did what he did, you aren't hanging out with a sympathetic or friendly character and seeing how they develop and change. You're just a kid on a journey with your Pokemon friends to become the best and experience the world to its fullest.
