>>56174897We've been over this a thousand fucking times. Game Freak hated the Gen 2 pokemon and didn't want them to become popular so they treated them like filler in their own game so that people would hate them while the GenWun Pokemon get even propped up even higher with more shilling.
Ironically, they went out of their way to shill the Gen 5 pokemon (even to the point of removing all the KANTOOO Pokemon so that Gen 5 Pokemon would get all the spotlight), yet the Gen 5 roster is the only one fans hate more than Gen 2's. So either Gen 5 pokemon were such shit that having an entire game to themselves wasn't enough to get people to like them, or the Genwunner tantrums were truly enough to get people to hate Gen 5 mons, Take your pick
