Considering that gens 6 and 7 sold better than gens 3 and 5, can we assume that the Kanto pandering will continue in gen 8?

Am I the only one getting tired of this shit?

Are people's heads so far in their asses that they can't play a Pokemon game without their "gen 1 bros"?

We have ten fucking threads about this every day you oblivious fuck. For better or for worse, they're going to keep the callbacks to the most loved gen. Get fucking used to it or stop playing the games.

First Sonic and now this.

Is any franchise safe from the nostalgia casuals?

Assumedly. Which is a real shame. I personally think they put most of their effort into gen V with how many Pokémon there were and how big and varied the region was and felt, not to mention the story. I feel like they gave up on that and went with the "easy" Kanto-pandering in 6 and 7. To be completely honest, I'll be surprised if we see any more references to gen V (and I was completely surprised by Colress in the battle tree, too.)

Except Sonic games mostly suck nowadays, with few exceptions.

I'd like it more if all of the repetitive gen 1 annoyances were stripped from the game.

Zubat, Geodude, Ratatta, Magikarp, Tentacool... all of these need to fuck off.

That's where you're wrong. I would love a completely fresh dex just like gen V did, or a mostly fresg dex with mons that you rarely see - instead of, for example, gen 7's game plan, which is most of the dex being Kanto and being able to find "favorites" such as Lucario and Garchomp. This was also gen 6, more or less. It even started in BW2 with their backpedalling and having you able to catch a Luke very early on. It's boring and vapid.

That's not the issue and you know it. The problem isn't the reference, it's the fact that it happens too often.

You might as well make a game set in Kanto and call it a fucking day at this point.

A game set in Kanto wouldn't actually be a bad idea, so long as they update it to make sure it's not literally the same as FRLG but 3d. It's just that Kanto shouldn't leak into every other region by default.

It is no secret why they do it. Gen 1 is the most iconic and by far the most popular.

"Except" that I don't care. I enjoyed them because they weren't more of the same. I don't see the point of buying a new game to play a style that was done better 15 years ago.

Honestly, depending on "remember the 90s guys???" is pretty much assuming that your franchise is dead.

I can only hope that gen 8 tanks, so gen 9 has a chance of not paying the "Kanto tax".
