My problem is that none of my friends like to battle. They play it for the "story". After beating it they never touch it again.

literally me.

My asians friends use to look down on me. They are pro's at shit like this and yugioh. Me being a black guy, they expected me to be shit at this game and a filthy casual. But then I got gifted a 6iv ditto and learned about different team building. Bred mons like autist everyday and challenged them all the time. I noticed that everytime we battled, they'd bring a team that they thought would counter mine, but I always changed it up with something you'd never see(like purugly, eviolite buneary, etc.) They never knew wtf to do so I annihilate them. I guess they got pissed or something because they never play anymore.

Because it was a time when you didn't have the internet, you had to buy all your stuff in person at a store, you had no satnav you just remembered the directions or got lost, tl;dr it was a long time ago but the concept and having a small computer in your hands was groundbreaking for the time.

I love this shit where hoenn/sinnoh babies and what not spew the genwunner crap to make it seem like their gen was the best.

By far no other gen was better to be a pokemon fan than gen 1, out of popularity alone which meant a shitton of merch, news all over the place, sheer amount of people playing, etc.

It looks cool and makes a nice display icon to show the cable and Gameboys
Wifi and/or infrared trading is infinitely superior. The only downgrade is the lackluster animation of the swap.

Oh, they're good as well. I was just here to hate on the underground because I thought it was kind of bland in appearance, whereas RSE/OR ASS you got to choose an overworld location.

I liked the digging minigame in the underground though desu.

Local play was cyber as fuck back in the day. Still very cool back in Gen 4 even. But the signal fucked up a good deal of the time. I haven't even battled with a real game since D/P. Does it even work well yet?

I didn't know this feel because I was in high school at the time, and you know how high school is, a lot of people are like 'Pokemon is childish man, come on' and I'm like ok, I just play what I enjoy. Fortunately some people grow up and stop caring about trivial shit.

Secret bases were great.
The Underground was okay. If you didn't have friends to play CTF with, you were stuck with a bunch of unusable space. Luckily, I had friends that played Pokémon.
