>tfw Mimikyu is actually a metaphor for the current state of Game Freak and TPC. New stuff will always be less popular and "horrifying" to the masses, so they resort to wearing a cover of nostalgia and cuteness to get more attention, in which it works as long the cover isn't removed

Gen 1 pandering is just their way of celebrating 20th anniversary.

Next year with Gen 8, we'll be back to normal routine at last.

More like they've been pandering to Kanto since Gen 2.
>Johto is still the smallest region yet and is basically a tumor attached to Kanto
>Professor Elm does so much nothing other than giving you your starter and the Egg Fetch Quest that Oak cucks him out of the intro sequence
>you can hardly find any Johtomons that aren't just the Bird/Rodent/Bug until much later or even postgame but even that's a stretch depending on the time of day
>post-league consists of "dude you can go back to Kanto!!1" and the final boss is Red
Gen 3
>aside from FRLG existing (and that was mostly because of Gen 3's inability to trade with Gen 1-2), there wasn't actually much in the way of pandering
Gen 4
>Professor Oak makes an appearance in Sinnoh, heralding the arrival of the Legendary Birds in Platinum and being the focal point of Shaymin's Event otherwise
>HGSS might as well count
Gen 5
>basically tried to recreate the feeling of fresh experiences and the unknown that Kanto once gave players by having an entirely new roster and no oldies, some of these consisting of expies of Gen 1 Pokemon
>the PWT, while featuring Leaders and Champions in general, still had the most Kanto representation thanks to Viridian's Leaders and the Indigo Champions
Gen 6, AKA the one where it got obvious
>Santalune Forest is just a near 1:1 remake of Viridian Forest, down to having similar fauna
>you get a Kanto Starter after the first gym that has a Mega Stone, but since your Kalos Starter doesn't get one this implies it's inferior to Kanto
>Snorlax is blocking a path and can be caught before the second gym, granting an obscene powerhouse
>you get a free Lapras after the third gym
>the Legendary Birds are roaming Kalos and Mewtwo can be found, these are the ONLY Legendaries in XY other than the box mascot and Zygarde
>Charizard and Mewtwo get two megas for no apparent reason and are still the only Pokemon to have more than one
>Kanto has the most Mega Evolutions, with a total of 15 different Megas

Well it's going to be directed by Masuda. Plus, I don't know what else they could pull from Gen 1.They already shilled the fuck of everything that was of importance to Kanto. It would horrible business practice to reference essentially the same thing over and over again.

It doesn't matter what else they could pull, they'll just pull the same old things if it's selling. I hope you like Snorlax in the overworld and a whole team of free Lapras.

You're right, because GameFreak won't stop sucking themselves off over Kanto because it reminds them of the good ol' days when PokeMania was happening, and that no matter how hard they try it'll never come back, so the only thing they know to do is to try to invoke that era with pandering.
