>>42902297I blame the boom in social media causing people who haven't touched a Pokemon game for a whole decade to create Facebook-tier memes and arguments that bled into the opinions of people who actually care/cared for the series.
Yeah, some of the Pokemon have parallels to Kanto-mons on a base level, but most of the concepts and design philosophies are completely different. There are a few bad apples in the dex, sure, but every dex does.
