>>45072295In retrospect Gen 3 mons don't feel anymore digimonish than all those that came after, but they definitly feel more digimonish than Gen 1 and 2 ones
I think that's one of the reasons why zoomers who started with Gen 3 and later call Gen 1 mons "literal animals" and Gen 2 ones "bland and forgettable".
Zoomers have never experienced the original feel of Pokemon, back when it was the "simplest" of all the Japanese games about monsters
