Are Game Freak developers Genwunners?

Just because they added that doesn't mean they're Genwunners.

With any series, there is always something "iconic" that they can use for easy references. Even games that aren't as obvious when it comes to Gen I references has a few sprinkled in, just hidden better.
That said, I think the more excessive references to older gens come from Game Freak/TPC's obsession with the past rather than trying to pander to an audience that won't care anyway.

The Battle Legend Theme of Red and Blue sounds very Kalos-like, I think they were actally planned or X Y, just like Mewtwo and the Birds and this woman is leftovers of that

>Gen 5
>almost half of the 156 new Pokémon are based on previous Pokémon, specially on Gen 1 Pokemon (Roggenrola line and Geodude line, Woobat line and Zubat line, Audino and Chansey, Timburr line and Machop lines, Throh/Sawk and Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan, Cottonee/Petilil lines and Oddish/Bellsprout (they are even version exclusives), Trubbish line and Grimer line, Gothita/Solosis lines and Abra line, Bouffalant and Tauros) only to mention some

>Gen 6
>Vaniville Town to Route 22 feels like Kanto: Santalune Forest has the same layout as Viridian Forest, first city with Gym has a route that connects to the Region's League and both are Route 22
>first encounter is always a Pidgey
>when Team Flare were revealed in Corocoro they said that their main purpose is to make money, like Team Rocket

>Gen 7
>all Sun and Moon games
>pre-release video of USUM shows a place that looks like Vermilion Gym

At this rate I don't even doubt that Gen 8 will be full of Kanto references

They clearly demonstrated throughout the years that their favorite generation is the second and their least favorite one is the third for some reasons.

Yes gamefreak cares about the games that launched their billion dollar franchise and made them successful.

Because if it wasn't for Gen 1, this franchise would have never taken off

Maybe It was made for the sequel/third titles of XY as an homage for the 20th anniversary.
Remember the bank in gen 6 actually was programmed for 6 games?
Afterall a lot of them think ''the Zygarde game'' is an abandoned project because TPC wanted a brand new generation in the 20th anniversary year.

Then if they love Kanto so much, why don't they just remake them again and never stop doing anything but Kanto Remakes instead of forcing every region to have no identity of its own other than "Golly Gee Anon, isn't Kanto GREAT? I wish I could go to Kanto, here, have a starter from Kanto and check out these new features exclusive to Kanto Pokemon!"

Doesnt matter, as prof Oak says "there's a place and time for everything" but that doesnt mean every game from now on needs heavy kanto pandering

Look at ORAS: it didnt have Kanto pandering (unless you count few Kanto megas among all the other ones) and yet its the best selling remake.
