That's a double-edged blade, lad. Gen 1 doesn't even have a story.

A shitty mainline. But then, all mainlines are shitty; Yellow simply took the cake.

First is the worst and second is the best if we're going by this type of logic.

Makes sense since Johto actually made Kanto acceptable compared to the original themselves. :^)

You mean has the worst box covers? Look at those terrible washed out colors of pokemon whose shitty sprites aren't justified by the stupid fanart on the cover

Context, Pokemon was far more popular then than now

>le big dragon, cat fetus, Chinese dragon, pile of sludge, and pokeball with eyes are good designs
When did the Gen I had good designs meme start? Either way I really like this meme

Snap, Puzzle League, the list goes on...

Has the worst story. And no, it's not 'hurr look how subtle guys' it legitmately has a terrible bland story.
>go here!
>fight this gym leader!
>team rocket!
>fight 100 golbats and koffings!
>next leader!
>rinse and repeat
And no mewtwo does not count, that was just lazy pandering to edgy children

Yep, focuses on adventure when you're not sidelined by team rocket, hm blockades, snorlax, and police officers

All games have rivals. Why, was blue somehow better written and cooler than most because he became champion? He still had terrible retarded dialogue that was full of cringe

Means nothing

Gen IV and VI are the only ones that could be considered objectively worse than the others. I/II/III/V are equally good give or take.

Good. Pokemon stories are annoying and bad. BW probably had the best one. That's partially why RBY are good, no annoying NPCs coming to tell you about their dance moves every 5 steps and then not even battling you.

These threads always tear me apart inside

One the one hand, Gen I does have
>the original 151 Pokemon, which were the best, but I don't actually think there's been a bad batch of Pokemon yet - just a couple of odd stinkers each gen
>non-linearity of gym leader/team rocket order
>some of the best music of the series (in competition with Johto)
>the cosiest region (again in competition with Johto)
>more interesting human characters which could be fleshed out in latter games (Mr. Fuji, the Oak/Agatha thing, one of the few real rivals)
They also lack some of the worst features of the newer games, like the over-abundance of hand holding, those dickhead meme friends in X/Y, and epic legendary battles where all of time and space is at stake or some BS.

But then, they're also really shitty games. Mechanically, the battle system has only gotten better with each generation (with perhaps the exclusion of mega's if you're one of THOSE dickheads), conviences like running shoes and soaring are awesome, and there's all sorts of features in newer games, from berry trees to contests to seasons to battle facilities and so on.

I guess the tl;dr is that IMO Kanto is the best region, musically and roster-wise, but Pokemon Red/Blue/Green themselves eat ass (and FireRed/LeafGreen offered only the bare minimum to fix that)
