>>35630370You could, oh I don't know, stick to playing the same fucking generation that you get wet over instead of wasting money on the newer generations that you know you'll hate because they won't be your precious genwun.
>she actually likes the fucking shitty gen 1 spritesJesus H Cchrist someone needs to get her eyes checked. Yes, there were some decent gen 1 sprites (Zubat, Persian, Ditto, etc.), a whole lot of them were dog shit.
>nobody gives 2 shits about the personality of its newly caught pokémonThere are people that do, even without caring about competitive shit.
>the whole "REEE THIS POKEMON IS OVERDESIGNED!!!!" thingNow look at Arcanine. What purpose do the stripes on its body serve? What is the purpose of the red gem on Persian's head? What about the swirls on Raichu's ears? The wings on Clefairy?
None of them serve a purpose either.
>REEEE HAXORUS ISN'T A REAL DRAGON IT DOESN'T HAVE WINGS!!!!!11!1Dratini doesn't have wings either, yet its a dragon type.
You can deny the factor nostalgia had to play all you want, bitch and moan about the newer generations all you want, but once the nostalgia glasses are off you can see gen 1 for what it really is: a broken, glitchy, flawed steaming pile of horse shit. It's not the perfect game you make it out to be. It's flawed, every pokémon game (and every other game ever created) has its flaws.
