>>55410976>A worse one, yes. 8 bit only appeals to nostalgia blinded retards.Personally I like games that don't have a washed out blue filter over them when it goes past 6 PM.
>Shitty movepools, bad mon variety, bad held items, worse items overall, it was just worse.Again, that's just your opinion based on your own perception of what Pokemon should be like, some people might actually prefer the simpler movepools of earlier gens and it might be better to ease new players into the series, which is basically what this whole discussion is about.
>Except you do, Rock Smash was an HM in gen 2No it wasn't, it was a TM and it was never mandatory to use just like Headbutt.
>Completely worse, feraligatr is objectively the worst pick because it's a physical attacker that only knows special movesWhat? Feraligatr can learn fucking Slash, Fury Cutter, Dig, Earthquake, Iron Tail, Headbutt and Return which are amazing moves that all take advantage of its attack stat.
>It's the exact same story as GSC.No it isn't, you don't even need to play the game for 5 minutes to start seeing differences.
The most obvious example is how the impetus for the start of your adventure - going to see what Mr. Pokemon found - is spoiled immediately because Elm just says "oh it's probably another Pokemon Egg, you know, the things that are everywhere because this is actually a Gen 4 game and you already know what a Pokemon Egg is wink wink nudge nudge" which is just stupid because the whole point of that was to introduce Pokemon Eggs to people unfamiliar with them as this cool brand new discovery that you took part in.
>I absolutely would, because gens 1 and 2 are just janky dogshit versions of the remakesNo, they just have different mechanics and you happen to prefer the new ones because you're a zoomer that started with those games and can't wrap your head around games being different.
