I honestly didn't out grow it.; I just realized it was horseshit in comparison to everything else.

Gen1
>limited software and small team
>didn't have much of a budget
>made a pretty decent game despite conditions
>I wished it was better, but hey


Gen2
>limited software
>many much needed additions to the battle system
and world overall
>honestly a solid game on limited hardware

Gen3
>fuck no
>the franchise made millions at this point
>gamefreak didn't up it's staff like every other developer making games for the gba
>lack luster games were produced in the process
>to add insult to injury another developer got the ip and made a better game from a graphical standpoint
(I don't like dungeon crawlers, but that game had walk cycles and attacks for every pokemon and added sprite animations for main characters)

Not only that almost every other rpg looked better, had better music, and a more interesting story.
Even the monster rpgs.


It's honestly pathetic, you see fanart and card art that tell better stories than the shit that goes on in the games.

I cannot be the only one who feels this way.
