>Why /rbg/? Gen 1 wasn't that long ago.
Firstly, the cutoff was more meant to reflect what seemed to be the point where Pokémon had a drastic change in direction rather than it being related to age. Additionally, with Gen 1 also being on the gameboy, local multiplayer is only available through link cables. Playing games that aren't contributing to the downfall of the series is kind of the point of this general.
We had considered other names like GameBoy Pokemon General (/gpg/) and Classic Pokemon General (/cpg/), but >/cpg/ and we wanted to be inclusive of older games like Stadium that fall into pre Gen II territory but are not necessarily gameboy. We put it to a vote back in thread #3 and the majority seemed to want /rbg/, so here we are.
