>>31836639some of them I do, the early artwork/sprites don't really look as nice to me and later enhancements like natures were great and added much more personality and immersion to the games
but the "real pocket monsters" shit doesn't appeal to me at all, and I hate all of those examples, they look like toys, have bullshit additions like clothes/unnatural patterns, or are otherwise unnatural in a way that even a bit of lore has a hard time justifying, I do find I like a lot of first generation designs in that they are definitely different but still feel grounded in some kind of reality, and there are many of those kinds of designs in later generations as well
being a genwunner is fucking retarded because the actual Gen I games were hot garbage, but it doesn't mean you mindlessly jerk off to everything newer too and grasp at the same dumb fucking straws they do
