>>58319428>The older I get the more I appreciate gen 1....because you're a zoomer hipster who wants to be popular on an anonymous imageboard? Cause' as someone who was a kid when Red and Blue hit the states', I can tell you after playing Red version back in 2018 that it's a fucking dumpster fire, and the more I learn about it the more I realize Pokemon lives and dies on marketing and not gameplay since I sat down and murdered my nostalgia since it's a cancerous tumor all people should excise ASAP.
>Sure you can argue certain mechanics are very roughly implementedOr not implemented at all. Or, you know, outright broken. The fucking type chart doesn't even work right.
>but I don't think that's what my enjoyment hinges onThen you're a retarded lemming.
>I like Pokemon for it's universeits*. Also, the pokemon "universe" is absolute dogwater.
>gen 1's is by far the most engaging, not to mention it has a self contained quality with none of the franchise's baggage.There's nothing engaging about it that isn't present in every game after.
You're not cool, you aren't clever, you aren't one of the guys, you're a faggot hipster, subhuman pretentious filth that should be mocked and ridiculed just like every other zoomer faggot pretending to be a genwunner on this board.
If you legitimately grew up with gen 1 and have played it any time recently, and somehow you think it's worth playing over the gen 3 remakes, then your judgement is severely lacking and you lack objectivity. You're blinded by rose-tinted goggles of what you perceive as a better time.
