>>58219716Gen2 never has a chance. as a whole missed out on the shilling every other Gen got due to KANTOOOOpokemon hogging the spotlight. Also it was back when Pokémon were far less minmaxed and optimized and BSTs were lower. Pokemon didn’t really start being made for comp until Gen 4. Not helping is every other early gen is coddled and worshipped by the devs: with KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOO got saved by eternal shilling and Hoenn got saved by being the mega region.
What the fuck is Gen 6’s excuse it was supposed to be the renaissance of the franchise, the return to form after Gen 5 “flopped”, the long waited return of Pokemania. Gen 6 was supposed to be the magnum opus they Gen 5 failed to be. It had everyone.
