No, it's not. There's something wrong with you.
We all go through a phase, OP
Glad OP’s seems to be over!
It's normal to recognize the first games as the most innovative for creating the formula in the first place and arguably the best for how little the games after did with them.
I don't think it's normal but I'd wager it's better than most other things. Gen I is Pokemon in its closest form to Game Freak's, and more specifically, Satoshi Taijiri's, original vision for the series and it comes through in most elements of the franchise, from the games themselves, to Shudo's anime, to the original volumes of Pokemon Adventure.
On a purely gameplay level, the Gen I games are undeniably rough around the edges, but it's also the point of the series with the least amount of corporate meddling, which only increases from then onwards.
>ogerpon next to charmander in this artwork
makes u think
he fits ogerpon give me kanto joto vibes now you put dialga or ceruledge they really dont
>but it's also the point of the series with the least amount of corporate meddling, which only increases from then onwards.
This also applies to the anime.
yes, most people are becoming hoennbabies
You have to be born one, you can't become one.
I used to hate gen 3 and 4 so much didn't touch them, but I gave them a chance. they are still better than gen 6+
4 is cool. 3 is shitmon infested shithole with kino post game
see I think its the opposite, respectfully anon.
I hate the sinnohdex with a passion. only 5 or so of the guys I really like more than previous designs.
I hated gen 3 when it was released, dropped pokemon for a many years.
Today I think it's better than most gens that came after.
Yes. The franchise has become so bloated that the simplicity of Gen 1 is very appealing.
yes, charizard is still the best pokemon and starter
it's normal, this franchise is only alive because nostalgia after all
You can't normally just become one, you had to have been there to officially call yourself one. No it's not normal, but it is normal for a Gankerner to be contrarian, especially against the "people" (zoomers) they find themselves around. Welcome brother.
It’s not normal here, but it’s normal for normal people.
Congratulations, you’re more normal than most of the other autists on this board
Huh, good point.
All you really need is Gen 1 + 2
Gen 3 starts falling off
Not because of the Pokémon design but because the gameplay / graphics / sounds changed too much
Gen 4 Pokemon and after can all go frick themselves
I used to like gen 2 but I realized I hate 85% of the designs and despise the gender/breeding mechanics. Still a meaningful part of my childhood but it ruins more than it improves
My only complaint about breeding was that it got boring quickly
Crossing Pokémon that made sense like Arcanine + Vulpix or Vulpix + Eve or Bug + Bug as examples
Making a bunch of variations would have taken a good bit of time
Think Bomber Man Ultra 2 or whatever the game was called where you could breed your mounts
And my only problem with genders is that it wasn’t always randomly 50/50 for everything you came across
>All you really need is Gen 1 + 2
>+ 2
cringe
> Not because of the Pokémon design but because the gameplay / graphics / sounds changed too much
imagine not thinking G3+4 is peak pokemon
Imagine becoming a nu-gener
Yuck
I don’t get why half the people in this thread are saying stuff like “Pokémon hasn’t been good since Gen 2/3”
why are you on a Pokémon discussion board if you stopped liking the series 20 years ago
I'm getting the opinion that the franchise would be better off if they kept the roster to the first 3, maybe 4 gens. But it's a major cope on my part, since the main drive of new mainline games are the new Pokemon. And it's not as if less Pokemon = better animations and graphics, as we've seen.
who is that next to rhyhorn?
Rhydon? Or Wheezing?
You also didn't start with gen I and become a genwunner after years, right?
oh hi Pablo
stale meme
basado
the only bad thing about gen 1 is the weird fixation of "when pokemon evolves, just put three of them together!"
hell even beyond that, there is just a weird "tripple" design philosophy in gen 1
dugtrio
exeggutor
magneton
dodrio
even tauros' has three tails
weird focus of design for sure
beyond that though the only real "bad gen one" designs are arguably the voltorb line for just being a living pokeball, and arguably seaking for not really matching the design aesthetic so well
some tard is going to say "b-b-but seel is literally just a SEAL!!"
yeah frick off moron, of course. first generation isnt going to have design creep shit going on like we see in gen 4 and especially gen 5. its going to have more basic designs. its a seal with a horn, sorry its not some deer with 4 different forms depending on the season you catch it i or a mollusk hiding in what looks like a french conquistador helmet
Yeah I agree this is pretty much my opinion
I also consider Seaking to be the worst most forgetable Pokemon because it's easily the most forgetable Gen 1 pokemon and thats really bad considering everything in rby is memorable from sheer nostalgia if nothing else but
>Goldeen is pretty easy to forget
>it is just a fish, another water type
>Misty's one episode in the golden dress is the only reason to remember it
>Its evo is ugly as frick
also the "frick year seaking" meme is so old and dead I think only I remember it so doesnt help
it wouldn't surprise me that the multiples evolution was a mechanic that got dropped.
catch 3 magnemite for magneton
catch 3 diglett for dugtrio
catch 2 koffing for weezing
catch 1 slowpoke + 1 shellder for slowbro
besides, they make sense, magneton plays on magnetic attraction, dugtrio plays on the whack-a-mole motif
I find goldeen/seaking necessary so the pokemon universe has a standard basic fish pokemon in the same way it has a standard basic land pokemon(rattata) and a standard aerial bird(pidgey).
magikarp has too much of a gimmick(gyarados) to fit the role. but while rats bite and birds peck, basic fish don't really do anything you associate with combat so the horn gives it something to go from without taking away from its genericness
Seel is plenty forgettable even beyond just being a seal though. It's a little out of the way to get but not really interesting enough, design wise or gameplay wise, to bother using it.
Wew lad
Flareon, Victreebell, Hitmonlee, Hypno (creepiest pokemon of all time to this day, israelite nosed demon that hypnotized and kidnaps kids), the bird trio, Clefable, they're all so great. Gen 1 isn't the problem, this zoomer board is
gen 1 is love. gen 1 is life
the farther the franchise strays from what it was supposed to be it's only natural to feel the urge to go back and recenter
Me too. I wasnt genwunner before but nu-pokemon have made me see Kanto's beauty
Yes.
holy soulerino. do you have any more?
kino. simpler times. better times
What is normal nowadays is to suck the ass of the 5th Gen, which, although it has its merits, is the generation that innovates the least in gameplay. It literally does nothing, it's the same as 4th gen but with infinite TMs and more comfortable to use repels. Become unovatard to be considered unique and special.
