Why stick around

Idk, why haven't more of you left this series behind after being disappointed over and over again? I did and I never felt better.

>Gen1
I honestly thought that it was shitty even back then. I remember wishing for scenerios like the manga instead of the lackluster shit we got.
Even in stadium, I was wondering why nothing touched when attacking

>g/s
A huge improvement, but still rather lacking in comparison to other games, I really liked the time mechanics. Didn't even waste allowance/birthday gift on stadium2

>R/S/E
During the gap between second and third gens I played almost every standard jrpg, and a couple of ones off the beaten road. Happened upon one called "Arc the Lad Collection" it's monster battling was superior to pokemon in every way imaginable and get this it premiered in 96' when r/g came out.
I can only find small clips without one really annoying let's player

here he is anyway

Literally is pokemon, but better. scenarios similar to the manga actually happened in game.;.

The only reason why it didn't take off in the west was because it got bared until 02'
So when I saw r/s in a stapled on gba at toys'r'us I said "fuck this" and skiped gen 3 altogher, also Colleseum reused models from stadium, the leap between generations was huge, this was unacceptable.


>gen4
Tried it out one more time, the game itself was kinda dull and the competition had animated sprites with overworld following animations.

To top that all off a bunch of bullshit had been introduced like invisible stats in iv/evs and it was too much. Also the same models from the N64 were being used. To top that all off another developer made a vastly superior game with the license with fully animated sprites and a vastly superior story.
