I started in Gen 3 with sapphire and I never played gens 1 and 2 because I think they're inferior and don't offer anything new, especially because the gens 3 and 4 remakes are superior in every way.

Do you guys also refuse to play older games if there's a remake of them?

Gen 1 b*omers gtfo, you don't need to apply

As someone who played Gen 1 first, you couldn't fucking pay me to go back and play Gens 1 and 2 since FRLG and HGSS exist and mog them in every way.

>BUT MUH MUSIC
8 bit chiptune earrape is awful to listen to.

>BUT MUH SOVL
Meaningless buzzword.

Gen 1 is an unfinished, buggy mess of dogshit that doesn't even work as it was intended to, to say nothing of its dogshit pokemon lineup (90% of the Kanto dex is complete ass visually and mechanically) and awful movepools (if you can even call the 5 moves every pokemon learns a pool, they're more like movepuddles).

Gen 2 is Gen 1 with some duct tape and has most of the same overall issues with movepools and variety (a lot of gen 2's designs are also pure unfettered ass).

Gen 3 is the awkward puberty of the franchise where it tries to be more but fails spectacularly, but at least we have functional kanto games now because of it.

Gen 4 is where the franchise found its footing, with the physical/special split, a huge expansion in movepools across the board, and better implementation of Abilities.

Gen 5 traded mechanical improvements for a worse overall game experience, with the most dialogue and cutscenes in the franchise by far grinding the game to a halt every 5 seconds to listen to some usless NPC ramble about their bullshit I don't care about as well as half the dex being bootlegs of gen 1 pokemon, while having the best EXP system, the best bug type designs, and another huge injection of movepool size to all the old pokemon.

Gen 6 saw the flop that was Gen 5 and decided "why don't we just do kanto but worse". mega evolution as a gimmick didn't really do what it needed to and the pokemon of the region don't get to shine because there's too many shitmons from gens 1-3 in the region on top of gen 6's lackluster dex.

Gen 7 amplifies all of the problems of gen 6 and 5, with even more unskippable dialogue forced onto the player on top of handholding baby game bullshit that makes it genuinely the first game I found unplayable, I got about an hour in before I gave up because the game kept stopping me from playing it by shoving a cutscene in my face, and the pokemon variety was utter dogshit, full of gen 1 shitmons and ugly new designs I would never use.

Gen 8 continues making the problems of gens 5-7 worse, but also now it's definitively baby easy mode on top of being open world garbage and looking like utter dogshit. The starters are legitimately some of if not the worst in the franchise and it adds nothing of value mechanically except EXP candies to reduce grinding.

Gen 9 again makes the problems of previous gens EVEN WORSE, except it tries to pretend it's even more open world except it isn't, and on top of that it's got some of the worst designs in the franchise and the worst, most annoying NPCs in any of the games ever (looking at you Nemona you autistic faggot). Not to mention the artstyle is now hideous.

I fully expect Gen 10 to be even worse. I haven't bought a game since HGSS, and I haven't played a game since I tried playing USUM and gave up on it for being a Kojima game.

>dogshit
A descriptor of something meaning it is bad. Use that one brain cell you have you nostalgia-rotted faggot.

>awkward puberty
It implements a whole bunch of changes (Abilities, Natures, IVs/EVs as they have been since as opposed to the system used in gens 1-2) that are better implemented in Gen 4 and onward.

>found its footing
A common turn of phrase. Gen 4 added a proper physical/special split, new, better abilities, new evolutions for weaker pokemon from older generations that improve them, a strong showing with its new designs, and expanded movepools for every single pokemon using the moves added during the generation.

>bootlegs
A shorthand way to descibe how around half of the Pokemon in Generation 5's regional dex are just copying Generation 1 pokemon (i.e. Sawk and Throh are just the Hitmons again, the Timburr line is Machop, and so on).

>Flop
Generation 5 was poorly received upon its release. I was there for it, unlike (you) who wasn't even a fetus yet. It did not sell well relative to other games in the franchise.

>Why are bug type fans always such faggots?
I'm not one, I was trying to give gen 5 as much credit as I could because it has so many flaws compared to what came before. Gen 1 has a bunch of shitty bug types, the only one of any note is scyther. Same for gen 2, 3, and 4.

I hope this was enough explanation for your pathetic peabrain, you drooling re tard.

The type chart not functioning correctly is a legitimate complaint.

The game going from an open world adventure to a linear railroad with a poor map design and an objective decline in both difficulty and single player quality as well as a hot mess of a competitive scene are all legitimate complaints about gen 5.

Generation 6 is even more focused on providing an easy experience and treating the player as if they've never played a Pokemon game before without even offering a way to opt out.

Gen 7 does the same as Gen 6, on top of changing up the core formula of the franchise for no good reason, as it does nothing to improve or enhance the experience, and it coddles the player even more. this is the first game where you have one rival who has the type weak to your starter as well, and the pokemon variety being lacking is a legitimate complaint.

Generation 8 fails to execute its wild areas well, and has unforgivable things like how to evolve the regional yamask which nobody would figure out on their own outside of pure luck.

Generation 9 presents the ability to travel an open region and approach the gym challenge in a more open manner, but fails to have level scaling to accommodate this change.

>>58854895
Damn right I expect perfection from the media I consume, especially from a multi-billion dollar company like Game Freak.
>>
>>58854930
>an objective decline in both difficulty
You have an actual disability if you think any pokemon game is harder than another.
>>
>>58854926
>If I ignore the explanations I can keep calling things buzzwords!
Soul and Soulles are literally buzzwords that mean "thing I like" and "Thing I don't like". Every single point I made and every word I used was more than subjective opinion.

>Unfinished
Not being complete. Gen 1 is not complete as a game, because it does not work as intended.
>Buggy
As to be full of errors and bugs or glitches.
>Mess
A disorganized group of things, apt to describe gen 1 as it's clearly not working as it was intended to due to bad game designers.

>Soul and Soulles are literally buzzwords that mean "thing I like" and "Thing I don't like"
If you're soulless.
>>
>>58854934
And you clearly haven't played any of the games if you think they're all of the same difficulty. Generation 3, for example, has an experience deficit in the late game, especially in FRLG, which either requires hours of tedious grinding with the VS Seeker or rawdogging the Elite FOur with pokemon 20-25 levels under par. Both options make the game more difficult, though not challenging, more tedious.
>>
>>58854939
Proving my point. That word means nothing. The older games are bad, the newer games are bad, Pokemon has never been better than mediocre and if you think otherwise you legitimately have a learning disability.

>if I'm not the same level as the enemy trainers it makes harder
You are so bad.

But you will maintain that "every single point you made and every word you used was more than subjective opinion", won't you?

I haven’t played Gen 1 or 2 and don’t feel a need to. Also haven’t played ORAS & LGPE for the inverse; would rather play their older versions over the remakes. BDSP would be here too if I didn’t get it for free lmao

Super autistic to use an insult someone just levied at you.

Older gens just don't hold up.

Anything pre physical special split feels ass to play.

Although you could argue pokemon green. Which I have also played

if you didn't start with gen1 I just don't value your opinions on the franchise.

Thankfully I started in Gen 1 because I'm not an inferior zoomer

Honestly can't imagine not having grown up with every single gen as they released. Don't you zoomies get confused about which mon belongs to which gen? How do you even learn 300+ Pokémon names all at once? Or do you not know all their names?
>>
tried playing platinum after finishing bdsp. it was the slugiest shit I’ve ever played.
>>
>>58858288
You're seriously retarded

Learning which Pokémon are from which Gen doesn't matter at all. But if you're into Pokémon you'll eventually learn it anyway

As op said, remakes are s thing, or at least used to be, and they make earlier gens obsolete.

And you learn the names of the Pokémon little by little just like everyone else
