>>27932878>best selling gamesnot entirely related to how good the game is, even more since it was the first release
>best cartoonunrelated, subjective
>most iconic and memorable characters/pokemononly because of genwunners who instantly shit on new gens just because they're not gen1. any decent pokémon fan will name you plenty of other iconic and memorable characters from other gens
>worldwide phenomenongood except for the part where there was no wifi multiplayer in the 90s, so it didn't really matter. I mean, you'd still only play with local friends, if you had any
>pokemania 1.0 lasted yearsagain, only genwunners jizzing all over gen1 as if it was the holy grail of pokemon kept it going
>best starterswew lad, I like them too, but there's better ones
>best legendariesThey were good, but not the best. Only Mewtwo and Mew had an interesting and mysterious background.
>best teamIt's pretty generic, not something that original. Giovanni was probably the best part of it.
>best rival/championThe rival was pretty good, but as champion? Rhydon with Leer and Tail Whip, Exeggutor with only 3 moves, Arcanine with Ember.
>best region(You)
>best gymsDidn't even have steel, dark or fairy types available for gyms yet. Also, having a Psychic Gym while Psychic types are broken with no weaknesses is bullshit.
>more original than any other geneggs, balls, goo, my mom's bird, my mom's rat, etc. I like all the gen1 designs too, but other gens have designs that are alot more original
