What made them so much more memorable than the rest of the series?
>>720991040They were first
>>720991040first game, first games tend to sell better and be more memorable. another big thing to consider is gen 1 started pokemania and came out before the modern gay lore and style were established so gen 1 is very much an RPG first, pokemon game second where as from gen 3 on they are more sanitized pokemon games
You posted this yesterday and no one agreed with you. Maybe if you samefag a little this time you can bait people into giving you validation.
They were the first games and came out during Pokemania where you could literally spend an entire day engaging in nothing but Pokemon media. Everything about that era is directly associated with them because the whole franchise was based on the games and those were the only two games when it kicked off.
>>720991109This. Most people only played these and/or GS, most kids who grew up with Pokémon went to high school (or were very close to) by the time RS came out and so they thought it wasn't cool to like Pokémon anymore.

Also look at the SOUL that is Gen1 pokemon design. Compare them to the pokemon design of today. Theres your answer.
>>720991359>>720991361Yeah Pokemania was a huge factor in it, I say that as someone that thinks several later games were just straight up better like Gen II, the remakes of Gen I, Emerald, Platinum, and the remakes of Gen II. Gen I will always be the most memorable to me not because of them games themselves but because there was so much fucking stuff associated with it.
What made them such piece of shit failures?
>>720991040Gens 2-4 and LGPE all had some iteration of Kanto. When Shit Freak shoves Kanto down your throat whenever it can, no shit it's gonna be memorable.
>>720991040Why is Gen 1 Blastoise so cool?
>>720991040They were the first. The first of any series is going to be the SOULest, whether it’s good or not.
>>720991040I was always an outlier.pokemon yellow and crystal enjoyer.
>>720994368Yellow is the definitive way to play once you get rid of that useless piece of shit Pikachu and get past Brock, it's a shame how rough the beginning of the game is. They really should have buffed Pikachu since he's so fucking useless after like 2 hours. The game itself forgets about Pikachu too since the last unique skits with Pikachu end at Vermilion City
>>720991040The games were more like gasoline for the Pokeboom. Anons that only analyze the quality of the games don't get the full picture of the childhood phenomenon.
>>720991361There's been several Kanto maps in strategy guides over the years and they're never consistent. Cycling Road is a frequent mistake. There's the landlocked port/bridge confusion but it also used to share the land east of Pallet and Viridian as seen in the ingame map.
Stop replying to these threads so the samefag gets bored and fucks off back to /vp/
>>720991040lack of widely used internet
>>720993090From bad to least bed:* ugly starters;* ugly main legendaries;* tried to do a full reboot of the series right in the middle of the pokemon nostalgia revival (and still didn't go all the way);* very ugly linear region.
>>720991040it had soul and effort, the rest of the series does not, especially when it went 3d
