>>51689877gen 1 is fucking garbage and Gen 1/2 was the height of Gamefreak throwing everything at the wall merchanidse-wise to see what would stick, and that entire era was built around comfort based on hype, they coasted off the anime bringing interest to the games, hence why they even made yellow version.
fuck gen one and fuck genwunners, take your rose-tinted glasses off and actually play the game again if you love it so much.
golden era my ass, fucking market hypersaturation dickheads.
Pokemon only started getting good in Gen 3 when they actually had to work against a fanbase growing into teenagers and saying 'pokemon's not cool anymore', they didn't face any attrition until that point.
