>>56015503The last truly great Pokemon games were HeartGold and SoulSilver.
A true Pokemon fan was born in a year beginning with 19XX and their first game was Red, Green, Blue or Yellow. They played every game in the series as they were released and therefore have a full understanding and appreciation of how good they were at a time.
If you are a 2000s-born zoomer who played the GBC games for the first time in the 2020s sped up on emulator, you do not have an informed opinion on the franchise.
My nephew loves Pokemon but his first games were XY on the 3DS so he will never understand the games the way I do.
Just the way it is.
