>>40392230>Kanto Pokemon are just the bestThis is objectively true, but Game Freak doesn't understand why it's true.
Game Freak doesn't understand what made the designs of the first and second generation so memorable. Gamefreak doesn't understand why the contemporary 90s setting with a lack of over the top sci-fantasy bullshit worked so well for pokemon. Game Freak doesn't understand anything that made Pokemon in the 90s and early 2000s good or memorable, they just understand that it was the first game so they can nostalgia pander to it.
Hell, they made what Pikachu ACTUALLY FUCKING LOOKED LIKE into an alternate form for fuck's sake. And they didn't even do it right, they didn't give it a white belly. Christ.
