>>50565025>5 yearsThe last 5 years it was nothing but shitting on gen 8 predominantly for being a fucking travesty, with 6 and 7 catching flak by extension, and then 5 for merely existing (not B2W2 though)
This surge of gen 2 hate is artificial and only really started festering within the last year or two. Joe giving a piss take on gen 2 way back got the ball started, but no one wanted to """agree""" with him because he was fucking wrong and it was abundantly clear it was to make gen 8 sound better, his ego getting to his head as a savant in the Pokemon community.
He malds over how people shit on gen 8, so he takes a shot at gen 2 to piss on people to intentionally piss them off.
