>>26705871I feel this way.
0 favs from gen 1, I appreciated them when I was 6 and that's all we had but their designs have drastically improved. However there's only so many species they can make, so when it came around to resorting to ice creams and cogs people start saying "this looks like shit, awful design". Well I'm sorry we're going to end up with like 10 turtles, at least they have neat details now. Seriously, compare the shittiest of shit in terms of base design: Garbodour, Vanilluxe etc
compare those to something like Voltorb, Ratata, Pidgey, ekans. It's pretty fucking clear that the shittiest shit of gen V is still better than at least 70% of gen I
Also I don't even think I have favs from gen II but some come close.
