I can't wait until I'm almost 40 and the nostalgia of my teen years is the only happiness I have left.
>>58845440True. Now wait as I buy my 37th $40 Pikachu doll to put on my bed.
>>58845456instead of making quality plushes of every other fucking pokemon they rehash eevee and pikachu for the millionth time. isnt one pikachu enough?
>>58845515They've been gradually spreading out the merch to other Pokemon, but it's clear the same few are what people will buy.

>>58845440I will never understand Genwunners. They claim that the “original 151” are the best, and anytime you ask them what their dream Pokemon game is, they’ll just say, “Bring back the 151 and ignore the rest!”. What exactly makes Kanto Pokemon so special that Genwunners and TPC/GameFreak constantly feel the need to glaze them? No, seriously. I don’t get the appeal. Gardevoir alone is more interesting than the majority of Kanto Pokemon.
>>58853539>What exactly makes Kanto Pokemon so special that Genwunners and TPC/GameFreak constantly feel the need to glaze them?Them being the "classics", the "originals", game freak just loves to remind us of their roots and of the first 100 monsters they designedas for genwunners, they don't exist. Never have. They literally haven't played the games since 1999. Those boomers just came back to complain about newer pokemon when they saw gen 5 and still somehow earned their title even after they shit on it and left. They don't care.>“Bring back the 151 and ignore the rest!”as i said above, they dont care, so they definitely dont say that

>>58857196Actually my fault OG let me fix that
>>58857370Based enough
>>58845515of course not
>>58853539genwunners are just tourists who've not played anything past the original GBC games but want to complain about the newer gens. They're halfwits who either can't let go of nostalgia or they're unable to accept they're not the target audience anymore.
>>58845440this but this
>>58845440The growing puddle of tears and piss just reminds me of how based and true this is
>>58845440good
>>58845515NEVER
>>58845515And that's a based thing
>>58845440I came here just to laugh at the plebs who werent here for the golden era.
>>58853539Every game and mon made after genwun was made with the knowledge it would print money, and with the goal of whoring out as much as possible for more money since it was guaranteed revenue. Gen 1 was the only time Pokémon was ever unknown (Unown notwithstanding), and therefore was made with a vision rather than a profit target. They had no idea if Red/Blue/Green would sell or just be forgotten like so many games of that era. Good, bad or indifferent (because they were not perfect, no one is arguing that you strawmanning retard fucks), RBG were honest in a way that later Pokémon corpo-mules simply can never be. They won the world, and were chained from that point on.
>>58863345that's... actually not a bad thought
>>58853539(You) will never know the sense of adventure before the internet made all knowledge instantly available. When you had to grab a game guide off the wire rack at Walmart in the game aisle for 30 seconds and blitz it while your mom was buying whatever cause you couldn't buy it. And then trying to cross reference your memories of the various routes with the memories of the game guide alongside the rumors you heard in school about Pikablu and Mew and shit. Felt like you actually had to work to discover the world. Like you had to go find your own NPCs to give you hints and shit, and puzzle out who was right and who was lying or dumb. There was a vibe that went beyond the game itself because it was such a cultural phenomenon, something shared with kids you didnt know. And we made friends with kids we wouldn't normally talk to, or kids made friends who normally wouldn't have any at all. Now its just a game, just a job, just the latest repeat in a long, long series.
>>58845440The fact that the pokemon aren't in the proper order is really bugging me.
>>58863353Yeah its a shame. You can't tell people to never make money, they got to eat. Putting people through ridiculous purity tests of who is a real artist or not is cruel and insane. And pointless. I don't want the people making Pokémon to go hungry or whatever. But there *is* a tonal difference even so. It's a subtle change of mindset that only becomes apparent over the long arc of a successful series. We have more variety of Pokémon than ever before, but they each mean less than ever before. It doesn't help of course that Pokémon as a brand has become one of the most sterilized ones out there in order to hit max broad appeal. They reeeeeeally went to the extremes in that regard as a business decision. Personally I think theyre just terrified of making a single actual decision with soul, lest their shareholders and advertisers hang them in the public square.
>>58845552will do thanks
So why doesn't Mario have this problem?
>>58865730What problem? autism? hahahaha oh you naive child.
>>58865734I meant sequelitis but sure that too
>>58866169For one thing they're not trying to invent 100 plus new characters every game. Mario has tons of forms and costumes but at the end of the day hes still Mario, he isnt getting lost in the crowd like some Pokémon do. Even if the new hat or suit or whatever is childish and stupid, the team working on Mario always takes the time to plan it out, rather than shit out 300 more Pokémon because theyre on a quota. They iterate on what they already have, rather than bloat it to hell and back basically.
>>58866169Also the Mario games can be very different even when they're platformers. Platforming is dynamic, the layout changing or the scenery style can completely refresh the levels. Pokémon doesnt have physics, so it lacks that tool to use when keeping games from feeling samey. By and large a gym crawl is a gym crawl. Maybe a gimmick here or there, but still a gym crawl. How different really was Red to Platinum, in a structural level? How much did 3d walking later actually give us by letting us go to the same places but not using a grid? It's a change yes but did they really do all that much with it? Compare that with the platforming changes between OG super mario, to super mario sunshine with the water physics as a middle-mario game, to that one where Bowzer got dunked in the Exxon Valdez and mario turned into a giant cat to go beat his ass. All still platforming in many ways, but texturally and mechanics wise very different. Mario is old but keeps innovating, because they KNOW hes old and they have to try and keep him relevant. Pokemon, and by that I mostly mean the suits that run it, is utterly afraid of really shaking their historically successful formula.
>>58865730>>58866295>>58866316That and imagine if Super Mario 2 was the same shit except starring some new kid or maybe Geno or something. And ends with stomping all over Mario as a fuck you to anyone who enjoyed the first game.

>>58872082it's funny because it's true
>>58866295They definitely didn't need to add so many. Just a few per game for them to actually put effort into. And really fix what they already have.

>>58863345I mostly agree, but I will die on a Gen II hill. Gen II was still a passion project in my book. Franchise-wise I respect the design of around 220 pokemon, 210 of which are Gen I or II. The rest is just too shit to be taken seriously.

Gen 1 and arguably 2 is Pokémon at its purest form and it died the moment Tajiri left the project. They have a completely different aesthetic than the rest of the series, resembling a fictionalized, "soft science fiction" imagining of post-war Japan, very much like Creatures' earlier works like Mother/EarthBound (more resembling the former), because this was Tajiri's original vision for the series, drawing from his childhood and media that he consumed such as kaiju movies and shows, and maybe Creatures also had more influence back then. The Pokémon themselves are treated much more like real creatures or animals that live in a real, living breathing world and ecosystem, similar to the ones that live in our own world. Like you could imagine opening a book on "Pokémon taxonomy" and seeing all these Pokémon and their behaviors recorded, which is what the Pokédex was presumably based on.Starting in Gen 3, it is no longer Tajiri's vision, but Masuda's, and while it does retain some elements of the original aesthetic for a few more gens, and opts for a new yet still interesting, more futuristic aesthetic in Gen 5, by now it has completely eroded into something more akin to "Pokémon fantasy world" with no resemblance to a real world with ecosystems, culture, demographics, etc. Everything feels so hollow, and the Pokémon are now designed with merchandising and the anime in mind, so they are far less complex in terms of body structure and are treated more like characters than animals.

Gen 1 is my favorite in the series, despite some shortcomings addressed in future entries.Gen 1 evokes a very specific world that predates the franchise’s enormous success. Before the franchise would influence itself into an incestuous spiral of brand synergy with the ashinme and merchandizing potential, the first entry derived its sensibility from the 90s animanga/jrpg zeitgeist, especially Akira Toriyama’s body of work up until that point, and the personal childhood experiences of Satoshi Tajiri, contrasted against the industrialization of modern Japan, and the tension between the 80’s bubble optimism and the 90’s cynicism that followed. Tajiri imagines a world that equally reconciles, and pits, man, machine, and nature with/against each other, without shying away from the good and bad of all three, and without coming across as preachy or overly saccharine. Framing this subject through the lens of a child’s region-wide journey doing field research and challenging themselves to become the best monster tamer affords it a subtlety that similar (excellent) efforts (like Jurassic Park) couldn’t manage.Kanto is the world this vision was made for. A land that reasonably had not yet been fully cataloged (hence the Pokedex quest), biologically isolated from the world around it (other regions weren’t in the conversation yet) teeming with the energy of discovery. A place where the forests house stylized versions of the bugs and critters of Japanese childhood, where humans gamble, drink, mourn the loss of their dead Pokemon in a graveyard, steal and police. Where the cutting edge of science has managed wonders like healing potions, Pokeballs, and Pokemon Centers, but crosses dangerous lines by resurrecting extinct prehistoric creatures with their DNA, and engaging in genetic engineering.
Kanto Pokemon are the main characters, every other generation is a rotating supporting cast.
>>58933284Industrial waste becomes a part of the ecosystem, and the electrical grid attracts strange creatures that are as artificial as they are biological. Life, the cute, the cool, the strange, and the ugly, blankets this world.Gen 1 was the first and only time that Pokemon had a unified art style and design sensibility. The Pokemon share an angularity and visual cohesion that begins to slip as early as Gen 2 (later designs intentionally contradict themselves often). The technology is chunky and analog. There is a roughness to the world that slims and smooths and “plushifies” as the series went on.People roast Gen 1 over its shoddy code and bugs (as well they should), but I believe that in doing so they miss a lot of the genius in its design. How the world is gated and paced is the best in the series, and the early game is structured in such a way where it tutorializes you without much interruption (there is a little). The actual map structure of Kanto is great, opening up just enough to be interesting. Small ideas like early bugs evolving quickly, weedle introducing you to poison in the tutorial “dungeon” just in range of a pokecenter, Voltorbs functioning as item mimics, there’s some good stuff here. The games are rather easy, so most of the oversights can be missed by the general audience. But the stuff that works, works well.Gen 1 IS the idea, before the brand, before the expectation of being the biggest franchise colored by its anime adaptation instead of the other way around. It’s a video game that wants you to go outside, and link up with other people, the game does what it’s about.I have some respect for the later entries (2-5) for various reasons, (Gen 2’s ambition, Gen 3’s quality of life features, Gen 4’s competitive viability and Gen 5’s curation of elements from the previous entries), but Gen 1 IS the Pokemon vision, realized, warts and all.
>>58933012Fighting and Psychic are the most humanoid by design and they contrast each other. Even then, only Mime (created for barrier move) and Jynx (a yokai?) really cross the line.
>>58927398>>58933284>>58933287Yep.
>>58865730Mario did not lose its auteur two games in, and Mario had its grand leap foreward with the N64. Pokemon did lose its auteur two games in, and essentially functions as a gameboy game still today.
>>58873376My Genwunner ass considered it and this is the best I can do.>Igglybuff looks like a digimon and not baby Jigglypuff>Politoad is a decent design but does not fit in the Poli line>Magnezone looks stupid and takes away from the line>LickiLicki is just worse Lickitung in every way, looks gay>Rhyperior is the worst new evo of them all. Trash.>Electivire is borderline but worse than his previous evoI only just barely left in Magby and Tangrowth but acceptable. No I don’t care about stats.
>>58933409Oh and perhaps most controversially>Hitmontop is a cool design but does not fit in with Champ and Lee. Would be fine adopting as a one off like Politoad.
>>58933413Why not? Because it's not based on an actor?
>>58933287Shit man, the bugs were half the fun. Made all the rumors believable, made you feel like a hacker, made the world more magical and wild. Kids these days will never know the feel of bumping into a level 147 Haunter off the coast of Cinnabar.

As someone who used Shadow Ball in gen 1 this makes me cry big weepy tears
>>58865730>>58933324Not sure about Mario, but when Megaman had a shitty unpopular game, they took a step back and went back to their roots. It actually looks like they listened to their fans. By the time their 30th anniversary rolled around, they had their act together.
>>58845440>mr. mime>jynx>barney>seakingtrash
>>58943849Megaman never focused on merchandise the way Pokemon does. It's a shame, because things like a collection of X's armors would be great
>>58845456That's the based part
>>58945687there are a few rare figmas but I don't even know if those are official
>>58937094>their quality control isn't the bestthey're just being as close to the games as they can
>>58845440everything after Gen 3 is an afterthought. arceus and his cronies are a mistake and should have not been created.
>>58845440Probably isn't one either, but it's hard to care enough to find out what the gen 3 equivalent of the gen 1 Shadow Ball is. Probably the split.
>>58845515why bother with anything else if that's what sells
>>58845440Is that...KANTOKANTOOOOOOOOO
>>58845440>The ONLY pokemon who matter>plus Golduck
>>58883879>Should have kept to just 1 pseudoWell unfortunately lamefreak listened to you so now we only get 1 per gen and its always dragon type.
>le gen 1 is nothing but useless shitmons>le gen 3 started the unnecessary power creepI love this fanbase
there's unnecessary shit even before that
>>58845515I've no problem with that
>>58949307so do i but only the genwunners
>>58894353>you are a sad, pathetic man who needs to go touch grass*whoosh*
>>58848196Super based
like whoosh, there't goes
like whoosh and zoom
>>58949301why can't they listen to me instead of him
>>58928618Ackshually all those youkai and other myths are part of japanese religion
>>58954954those aren't gods, more like the fey folk trying to mess with you
>>58933304Problem is Fighting didn't have much in RBY
>>58845515maybe but there need to be more Eevees
>>58845440>blastoise gets guns out of nowhere and loses the wave/seafoam motif on his ears and tails that squirtle and wartortle had>nido____ line being broken up into two completely seperate pokemon instead of gender specific forms>poliwhirl and poliwrath just being bigger versions of politoad instead of following the same "life stages" evolution theme of the rest of the gen>golem is a weird lizard with a rocky shell instead of a living boulder like geodude and graveller>exeggcute, a bunch of eggs, evolving into a palm bush>electabuzz and magmar, designs that look so much like they travelled back in time from later gens I forget they are gen 1 originals>the dragonair -> dragonite disastergen 1 has its problems
>>58899041Fucking kek
>>58849704Yeah, it's one of Misty's outfits
>>58925525not in RBY then
>>58925799best we're gonna get at this point I guess
>>58886347>>58886949That's how LG should've been
>>58845523>the same few are what people will buyhere's hoping
>>58848196This is glorious
>>58873488>umbreon is basically going to be the only dark typeThat's what makes lists like that good
>>58883879Gen3 is the only gen that has 2 pseudos, and was the last to feature non-dragon type pseudos.
>1 month ago
>>58965181The jeet owned the libs.
>>58845440There's only one samefag who cries about it so you did a great job
>>58849083Based reviewers, just like the Metacritic ones
>>58872082turns out the joke was on you
>>58845440Now that's based
>>58901129You really don't know?
>>58863337Astoundingly based
Let me lay it down for the newbz.>The Original 151God's gift to mankind.>JohtoBabyshit.>HoennDigishit.>SinnohDigishit.>UnovaDigishit.>KalosDigishit.>AlolaDigishit.>GalarDigishit.>PaldeaDigishitのBabyshit.Any questions?
>>58968110gen 10 is also gonna be complete shit
>>58925483Ever heard the saying "it's funny because it's true"
>>58968110there you go
>>58845440Still based as fuck
>>58845515Still better than the new trash they put out
>>58845515not like anyone really wants the newer shit
>>58845440Always will be
>>58845440Why can't I stop smiling about this?
>>58845552I've no problem with that
>>58958418Magmar is horrible, ugly ass fucker.
>>58845440You forgot Camerupt you little bitch fuck you
>>58925799I forgive Gen VI because it finally made a T-rex Pokemon.
I came here to this thread to say that genwunners were right once again after the Gen 10 starters reveal.
>>58845440Everyone will cope but it’s true
>>58845440Greatness can be a problem, but it's worth it
>>58976418always will be
>>58845552Never had a problem with them
>>58848196This is really great to see
>>58845440That would've been good to see
>>58845515>quality plushes
>>58845456>worth twice as much as FRLGbased
>>58845440Especially when you see what they're making now
>>58845440The only ones that should, at least
>the jeet is going into overdrive during gen 10lol
>>58845440Looks like the samefag wants others to be the only thing that's been spamming ads for nugen slop now so that means these really are the only pokemon that matter
>>58849704it's all based on butthurt
>>58873376>>58886347That's all it takes to be based, really didn't need a thousand of them
>>58848196>sjust one
>>58976418basedgood rule of thumb is: it's always gonna be shit
>>58959983a nice one because it's a leotard
>>58845440and all those tears up there are what make them matter even more
>>58933413Why didn't they name it after another martial artist anyway?
>>58933409add Ice Ninetales, and probably alolan ratata and Aron or Larvitar line
>>58933284>>58933287Well put>Industrial waste becomes a part of the ecosystem, and the electrical grid attracts strange creatures that are as artificial as they are biologicalThis resonates with me. It's a very quintessential Gen 1 element, industrial, electrical, pollutant lifeforms that creep in at the edges of lush ecosystems. Pinsirs vying for territory, Rapidash roaming wide, gorgeous fields of grass, Kangaskhan guarding their young, A Cubone mourning it's mother, An Exeggutor dropping a head or two on a forest stroll, a Slowpoke peacefully fishing where a river meets the sea.
>>58985892Only available for Klearkhos
>>58859797waterslop
>>58886347>>58886949Dare to dream
>>58985892"Klearkhos" is probably just the same furry falseflagging anyway
>>5884544090% of these don't even matter to genwunners.
>>58863345>Every game and mon made after genwun was made with the knowledge it would print moneyNot true, btw. There was a lot of anxiety going into gen 3 since Pokemania had largely wound down. I believe Masuda talked about it in an interview. The "fuck it, they'll buy it anyway" mindset didn't truly take over until Masuda was forced out of the director's chair midway through XY's development.
>>58865730You're joking, right? That autistic hack Miyamoto has spent decades at this point purging Mario of any soul, creativity or unpredictability. It's almost as bad as Pokemon now, the only difference is that most of the games are still competently made while being dull as dishwater.
>>58845440The only point is to get rid of the newer trash especially because the kind of thing that goes around promoting those is the only one samefagging on this board
>>58849083seeing those really makes me smile
>>58845515it's the mascot for a reason
>>58845440zoomers forever btfo
>>58975805nah that's you
>>58968110literally the very first Digimon in the series, kill yourself
>>58991465kek you gottim alright
>>58845440no
>>58845456only 37?
>>58845515why did one retard spam replies on this
>>58845552why did one retard spam replies on this
>>58848196the samefagging's getting weird
>>58849083>more samefagging
>>58849704>even more samefagging
>>58867689half of this thread smells of the same 2 indians
>>58911050>deleting posts to bump the thread again
>>58925483jeets
>>58924240they are easy to get if you don't live in a 3rd world country like india
>>58929041a slogan that died 25 years agoalso each sitting cutie is like $17 eachyou probably don't even have $17 in your bank account
>>58937094it's been evident since gen 1
>>58949307it's not unnecessary if gen 2 mons barely changed the competitive scene at the time
>>58957398fighting is the most dogshit type in gen 1 so whatever
>>58968110i like gen 1 but it had plenty of digishit
>>58975805magmar has a cool moveset but pure fire typing is kinda shit
>>58976418the dog and the bird are goodthe gecko is reaching scalie territory
>>58978829some of them are quality like comfy friendssitting cuties is not quality
>>58980622i just passed like 20 obvious samefagging garbage posts from the last post i replied to
>>58988819i think it's the same interview where they talk about giving gen 2 too much babyshitthey probably thought gen 3 would be the end
>>58991179zoomers finished frlg on switch already
>>58986099you grew up with the indigo league anime and outgrew it 20 years ago so you will never see paldeamons do the same thing
>>58992025Sharty probably has this thread on rotation so they can keep up with the gen 10 wave.
>>58992132>gen 10>waveheh
>>58992142Fuck off Carlos!
What a stupid thread to necrobump for a month and a halfI checked the other threads you niggers were on and those didn't even reach bump limitLosers
>>58992171too busy grooming kids on discord
>>58845440Unbelievably based thread, all this crying means there'll be two of those threads on the top row
