They launched this franchise with the Pokerap and pokedex numbers and posters and 150 making sure you know them all.
I feel the bitterness towards people who didn't like the newer Pokemon has poisoned into blind disdain for Generation 1.
It also feels like envy, of course they are gonna prioritize the ones that kickstarted this legacy.
Besides this new anime will have lots of newer mons.
