There really are a lot of ways, and this is just Pokémon-wise.

They've always shilled Gen 1, so don't over react like it was something new when they show us the Alola forms of Gen 1 Pokémon first.

As shown by pokemon go, gen 1 is a cash cow. They can make an all new pokemon game without anything gen 1 related and it can be a fine profitable game but with gen 1 it becomes a blockbuster.

With gen 1 they put the minimum amount of effort and get the most returns. It would be financially irresponsible to not pander to gen 1.

Gen 5 has many designs similar to gen 1's, and its not a coincidence, it was meant to be a reboot but also a tip of the hat by providing 156 pokemon, more than gen 1's, and things like conkeldurr seem like machamp, boufalant and tauros, audino and chansey, trubish and muk, pidove and pidgey, rattata and patrat, etc.

Gen III doesn't though, it litteraly distanced itself as much as it could from the previous gens, its like the edgy kid of the family, denying conection to its cousins in hope of being admired for what it is.

Gen 3 has a bunch of gen 2 mons scattered all around and further developed a lot of gen 2 ideas such as female protag, breeding, and berries

When people say gen 3 they are referring to RSE.

People don't love over regions for pandering, though. It's a coincidence.

Also, ironically, Gens I and V are the most shit on generations around here. Simultaneously, Gen V is also the most praised generation, because it's a hugely divisive subject.

>rehashes
You mean reimaginings and allusions, friend. Conkeldurr isn't the same as Machamp. Bouffalant isn't the same as Tauros. Swoobat isn't the same as Golbat. Trubbish isn't the same as Grimer/Koffing.

I don't understand why people in these threads don't understand that the safest way to test a new mechanic and see if it's well received is by implementing it using first gen mons. If it works out, they start branching out more to other gens. Gen 1 is the safest to try new stuff with.

C'mon guys. It's not that hard to understand.

This.
Gen V (or at least BW) was a sort of soft reboot. Same basic ideas, different execution.
