>>21096821Well, it's a kid's game after all. Unfortunately, we'll never get an antagonist designed to make our demographic feel unsettled, especially considering how desensitized people become as they grow up these days. It's the price we pay for investing in a children's franchise. In the scope of Pokémon, though, I think Gen 6 was about as adult as we're gonna get.
>>21096814Oh, certainly. Anyone who claims Generation 1 was the undisputed king and no others even should be considered deserve to be laughed out of the room.
>>21096848There's a bit of somewhat dark lore going on in Generation 1, but no darker than any other game in the series. You can pluck out some pretty disturbing (in context) Pokédex entries for a few 'mons in every iteration. Unfortunately, unlike it's sequels, R/B/Y lacked the narrative to coincide with it.
