>>45064116Pokemon used to be popular with normies. It used to be something you could talk to people in real life about, trade Pokemon, battle, etc. Now it's a laughingstock, and it's because of gen 3. See, Digimon became a massive hit in Japan, GF was so dead-set on copying what Digimon was doing, that they immediately forgot what made Pokemon good in the fist place. Gone were the semi-realistic monster and the Toriyama eyes of the past, replaced by these cybernetic-looking furry abominations and dragons nobody asked for. Lucario is a straight-up ripoff of Renamon.
