>>39791077it wasnt trash it was subpar because it was the first. 70% of the dex was bleh containing much of the shit designs most of you fuckers complain about with prior gens. whenever I see favorite mons lists, the only time I see a gen 1 pokemon pop up is if it is Pikachu, eevee/eeveelution, or a starter/legendary bird.
and yes, I am discounting pokemon evolved from gen 1 that go into gen's 2 and 4
