It is considered the holy land of Pokemon. You need to take a pilgrimage here to truly understand what this franchise is about.

Unironically this. Sure the original games have a truckload of valid faults, but I can never resist go back to RBY here ruby there just for a taste of pokemon's roots again. Also pokemania was magical, the only time things ever felt the same again was during the go craze in 2016.

this franchises appeal come from the creature designs.
>mix of cute, cool, weird, & ugly
>balanced between not being too cartoony nor too realistic
Having a huge variety of 151 creatures was insane. after all the anime and card game were mainly about these creatures. no one gives a fuck about the humans.

Are you talking about new gens in general or about a specific Kanto game?

Nah. Only counts if the pilgrimage from Johto.
FRLG and LGPE are both bastardizations of remakes/reimaginings. Ironically, the game that best understood the principles of what Kanto was about was HGSS.

Sorry, but I don't actually care about that shit. I play these games for the waifus, like Lillie from Gen 7, and Gen 1 is a sausage fest. It's one of the worst.

Just curious, when was the last time one of you nostalgiafags played gen one again? I started with gen one and for its time, it was amazing. That said? It has aged like fucking milk. When gen 1 came out on VC I grabbed Blue to hopefully experience the magic again. I beat Koga and then stopped playing altogether, the games are insufferable now compared to their successors. They are boring, slow, glitchy, riddled with awful battle mechanics, and the learnsets for most species are COMPLETELY fucked. I love gen one for starting the series but if you genuinely believe these games are still good you are delusional.

>pilgrimage
oh, so that's why they did like 7 games there it might start to make sense now...
seriously though, I was done at 3, red, then yellow, when silver came, it felt like "yeah, it's the future, why not" but when they made frlg, I was "boy, I hope they don't do this for every other one because I'm sure done with shitty jotho and this kanto thing would be really tiring without those new islands"... poor naïve me...

anyway, I wish we could finally move on

yeah, I might understand the gregarian appeal of repeating this mindlessly but I better know viridian forest than the forests near my childhood neighborhood despite the fact that I used to go there with my father every week end. a little bit of change is sometimes good

If you didn't grow up with Pokémania you'll never truly understand this franchise or why KANTOOOOO is so important.

I started the series here, wasn't into it and didn't return until HGSS which was amazing. Shortly after I discovered the absolute joy that was the Mystery Dungeon series. As for Kanto itself, pic related was unironically my best experience with it. And here's some more hot takes, for me, Super is the best Mystery Dungeon and SwSh is my second favorite mainline game.
