>>31162972Gen 1 - simple, no clutter, catching 'em all was a realistic goal, battling people was simple because the game didn't have 800 pokemon with 800 moves and items, abilities, EV spreads, natures and all that crap that made modern competitive so convoluted
Gen 2 - improved everything that gen 1 did, added a bunch of features that nobody asked for but that everyone takes for granted today, added the female character option, designs fit well with gen 1 pokemon, catching them all was still reasonable
Gen 6 - finally could play with a character with my skin color, PSS, super training, Destiny Knot, Friend Safari and horde battles made competitive less autistic and more accessible, first 3D gen and mega evolution was my favorite new mechanic introduced in the series.
