>>59047104Because you convinced yourself that era you missed was "peak". Wild how you never mentioned playing RBY or GSC on VC when they're the "truest" pokémon experience, given they're the only two done by the creator to his actual vision, instead of palming it off to someone to curate his vision. My first was Red at 15. I'm still playing today and can safely say the heart and soul of Pokémon is STILL there. But faggots don't want Pokémon's heart and soul, they want it to pander to them and their ideal of what the franchise should be.
