>I was 10 when I first managed to get my copy of red, the anime wasn't even out, but I had the fun of my life on my bigass gameboy beating the E4 with my raticate, fearow, beedrill and venusaur
>what a fucking great take on rpgs, but there are plenty of flaws like trash variety in ice/dragon/ghost, no bug attacks, etc, this certainly looks like a franchise MADE to have sequels, I CANT WAIT play the next games in future years.

this was pretty much my thought pattern when I was 10 - 13 years old, why the fuck are there so many genwunners? did they honestly not want to play gold/silver and subsequent games in the series? even decades later I still welcome the S/M changes, why the fuck do genwunners exist? why are there no people who praise Zelda nes as THE ONLY TRUE zelda or Final fantasy 1 as THE ONLY TRUE final fantasy?
