>>53653194>Like you said, purity/soulMeaningless buzzwords.
>Universe gets less grittyGood, edgeshit is garbage and the edgier something is = the worse kinds of people it attracts (edgy 14 year old faggots and 30 somethings who act like edgy 14 year olds faggots because they think that's what maturity is but don't realize they never matured)
>large amount of bad pokemon make the the roster less than stellar when you now look at it as a wholeGen 1 as a whole heap of stinkers to the point I would call anything other than the starters, nidos, legendaries, magikarp line, and fossils forgettable or outright shit designs.
>plot format standardization kills the believability of the worldIt's established in gen 1 that going on an adventure at 10 is the norm within the setting. If only the fucking games stuck to gen 1's formula since it's the best part of gen 1.
>Terrible gender/breeding systemThis not only gives you access to more customizable pokemon to suit your playstyle but also - allowed for new, unique species of pokemon and new satus conditions and moves.
>terrible night/day systemIt makes catching pokemon more interesting and makes encounter rates higher because you can split the tables by night and day, thus making catching certain pokemon easier.
>Awful new types as if the the type chart wasn't already convoluted and redundant enoughIt straight-up didn't work right in gen 1, and psychic was busted as shit as a result. Dark and Steel are great additions and have some of the best pokemon around.
>The devs were from Kanto not Kansai/Kyoto so little details and nuances of the region get lost and it no longer feels personalIt never felt personal, it was always a soulless corporate project to make money and a poorly-made one at that.
>Anime influence seeping into the gameName one.
