Have you ever convinced a newgen fag that modern Pokémon designs are dogshit, they're wrong for liking new Pokemon, and they should care more for the older designs?

I can't imagine being autistic enough to care what Pokemon designs someone else likes

No I simply think lesser of them
But only if they're autistic about not considering designs that made the games - it's the same as in your example of oldfags trying to imprint their fagginess on Newman's
It goes both ways and oldfags need consider that being a fan didn't only start in 1997

It's impossible. Modern Pokemon is all they know. It's their childhood and they'll fight tooth and nail to defend it.
These are people whose very definition of Pokemon are shaped by Sinnoh and Unova and whatever later gens that was their first. It's simply impossible to reason with them.

What about older fans who actually, unironically like modern Pokemon?
>>
Gen 1 designs in 3d look like literal shit.
You can tell they were designed in mind for GB limitations cause the moment you rip them out of that era they become boring as shit
>>
>>58378410
I wish you were being ironic but you're probably this stupid for real.

Bru you could argue that modern mons are made for Gamefreaks creative limitations and laziness in production
Tubes and orbs

You do realize that if half the Pokemon shown in the picrel were introduced today as new Pokemon that people would be talking shit about them to hell and back, right?
Geodude = Is that just a rock with arms?
Machoke = Oh horrors! A humanoid Pokemon! Everyone hates the new humanoid Pokemon!
Butterfree = Is that just a butterfly?
Jigglypuff = Is that just a pink ball with ears?
Psyduck = That's just a rubber duck.
And so on a so forth.
Though the other half would probably still be received well today: the starters, Lapras, Gengar, Slowpoke, etc.
But either way if Pokemon like Machoke and Geodude were new there's no way people would take well to them, especially Machoke.

>>58378464
Leave my Geochud out of this!
R.I.P. buddy - died to bullshit crit too soon
>>
>>58378464
Even the starters would get shit on if they were revealed today.
>It’s just a frog with a plant glued to its back? It just gets bigger? Another Grass/Poison type?
>Literally my mom’s dragon? Why is it so fat? Why is it so short? Why is it flying type and not dragon type?
>Why does Wartortle get furry out of nowhere? Why does Blastoise lose the fur? Literally my mom’s turtle? Why does it have unnatural metal cannons sticking out of it?
>>
>>58378326
I'm old enough that my first game was Blue and I can still acknowledge that the Kanto dex is mostly boring and ugly. Gens 3-7 are when Game Freak mostly had the monster design figured out.

I hear this argument brought up a lot and it gets dumber every time I hear it. Simplicity back then was a strength of designs, making them easy to relate to real-world counterparts or appreciate for what they are supposed to represent.

Pokemon Stadium had decent Gen 1 models

>>58378326
I don't have a hobby for gaslighting, so no. Lapras will always be my favorite mon, but if anyone told me that the Treasures of Ruin were peak Pokémon design, I would wholeheartedly agree with them.
