>>31829467I'm not being nostalgic; the third generation was the best in every single way. People don't realize that because most know the games through those crappy Gen VI rehashes that ruined it.
"B-but bettah graphics!"? Guess what! Those were amazing back in my day, and forced the design to be as simple as possible! That's why you see elegance in the original 386 like Blaziken (still the best starter), but only unoriginal crap in the later generations.
Older species had lore and legends behind them, even being animal-like. And this was cool, not the "muh inanimate objekt!" garbage as Klink, Klefki, Litwick, Vanilluxe (WTF are ice cream cones supposed to mean?) those new graphics allowed. This garbage is not real Pokémon, IT'S SIMPLY GARBAGE! Anything created besides Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald is garbage, NOT REAL POKEMONS! Specially Garbodor (objective proof GF run out of ideas and accepts even literal trash) and that Goomy thing (if that snail is a dragon, then I'll put a HIC SVNT DRACONES sign in my garden...).
Then people point out newer designs like Pakiriceyou and say "oh look dis1 not inanimate! Its kool rite?". Sorry - since GF is running out of ideas, Parshirisu is just yet another unoriginal species, a Minun rip-off. Since Minun sells so much, they're eager to create those: Pichu, Plusle, Dedenne... rip-offs. And poor five true Eeveelutions - how many rip-offs did they get? three or four, I guess? (Even if they weren't rip-offs, enough is enough.)
"B-but moar is always bettah rite?" - well, no. Enough is enough. Too many irrelevant species, too many new mechanics: Z-moves, characteristics... and what the piece of sh_t are those mega evolutions? POKEMONS ARE SUPPOSED TO EVOLVE ONCE OR TWICE, NOT THRICE! But hey, if you want to do random stupid math instead of playing the game, I guess that is fine for you, right?
At least the anime is still cool, right? Right??? ...no, not even May saved herself. (Everybody wants her back including me.)
