>>40716105I started with Red Version and Pokemon Colosseum 1
My team consisted of Blastoise, Pidgeotto, and Arbok with me unable to remember any of the other Pokemon because it was 20 years ago.
Pandering to Kanto isn't "focusing on new Pokemon" given that these Pokemon are still popular to the masses and still have plenty of fans thanks to being Gen 1 with the only exception I ever see being Tangela.
NuGameFreak hardly gives any of the new Pokemon anything special that sets them apart. Hell, even Zygarde had to wait an entire generation for SOMETHING. They're not going to stop pandering to Kanto because Kanto sells.
