>>12223582>gen 1 adorers cannot see that all Generations of pokemon bring new and inventive gameplay, styles, and artwork. it only gets better each time.holy shit, this. theyre blinded by their childhood to see that gamefreak is fucking learning how to make better pokemon, locations, characters, and even plot in general. even if its a big thing like pokemon, it doesnt mean that there's not room for improvement. thats why i like pokemon more and more, because i'm glad to see that its growing and gamefreak is getting better at making games, learning from their past's work. doesn't mean they're perfect though, and they probably never will be. something like that could be said for other growing franchises too.

it's both sad and pretty frustrating to see people "dont consider anything past gen 1 and 2 pokemon" because for all they know they could have a favorite from 3, 4, or 5. maybe even 6. hell i didn't have a REAL favorite until unova. sure i had pokemon i liked but i absolutely fell in love with reuniclus when it was first revealed. it just struck the right chord no other pokemon could for some reason. but they might never find that "favorite" because "2 overdesigned 4 me no moar ideas durrr not muh childhood"
sure you like your blastoise and your butterfree, but what if you actually like carracosta and beautifly more but you don't want to consider the idea because it's not familiar to you? its a very stupid way of thinking, in my opinion.
tl;dr: don't knock it til you try it/give gamefreak more of a chance, will ya? if you really don't like anything but gen 1 and 2, that's fine, but being a close-minded jerk is only limiting your enjoyment of pokemon as a whole.
