>>37158841Red and Blue are 20 year old turn based JRPG filled to the brim with abstraction and game mechanics. The Pokedex makes the powerleves at play obvious if you actually bother to read it, so when you send out your 8 bit Gyarados to Hyper Beam a Mewtwo you can just fill in the blanks with your mind. If Origins is how you imagined that battle going down in reality as a kid I'm sorry for you.
I'm mad because Origins fundamentally misses the point of Mewtwo. It's the strongest. Stronger than Pokemon who can fly around the world in 16 hours, melt a 10000 ton glacier or annihilate a city with a single attack. Just because this strength isn't relevant to the plot like in later games, doesn't mean it's not there.
