>>14962434That's the actual point.
Nostalgiafags will always remember their precious Kanto gym leaders, when Erika and Koga had bland as fuck personalities and are pretty forgettable.
Brock and Misty appeared in the anime and every genwunner knows them.
Lt. Surge is the guy with the trash, also forgettable except for the Raichu episode
Erika is a random slut in a city where you get Eeevee and fight TR.
Same goes for Koga, except it's in the place where you can go to the safari.
Sabrina won't be forgotten, thanks for being remembered in the anime and future games like B2/W2 as a cameo.
Blaine also did fucking nothing, but probably remembered by the Charizard vs Magmar episode.
No one can forget Giovanni.
