I only respect Pokemon Blue/Red and everything 1st gen. This isn't "just nostalgia". I've learned that it's much more.

Sure, there might be better Pokemon games out there. But you have to understand that these later installments are basically just mods or expansions of Blue/Red. Imagine what it took to make the very first Pokemon games. Someone had to come up with the concept of Pokemon in the first place, draw 151 monsters, and invent numerous game mechanics that we take for granted these days. Shit like gym battles, master balls, repels etc. have been in every game.
What I'm trying to say is that making Pokemon games got a lot easier after the first game because they just copy the established lore, slap a new story and some ugly new mons on it.

I was there in 1999 when Pokemon fever hit Finland. It was amazing.

I fapped to Misty so hard as a kid.

Finns are not white. You are closer to Mongols and Inuits.

We are the whitest race.

Your white heritage only comes from medieval viking rapists

>>59428443
Vikings were based and you know it.

>>59428438
nah we're just finns. not white, not asian, not mongols. just finns. very much our own thing.

If you look white, you are white, doesn't matter what someone in your family trea was a million years ago.

>>59428449
nah, we're just coded different.

Mentally, yes. I'm ashamed of being a Finn because most Finns are absolute retards and psychopaths.
Our main social media, Ulilauta, is like a digital asylum. 200 000 Finns shitposting and trying to inflict violence on each other through text.

maybe you should try going outside where 90% of the population are instead of the website populated by 2% mainly consisting of unemployed mentally ill people.

You can still have crippling social skills without being a deranged retard.

Going outside and interact with neurotypicals ontop of social anxiety is a sensory nightmare. Advice to Finn anon is to hone on coping skills and find a niche forum with like-minded "Finns", it's grinding but can done.

Only GSC is like that and it's what killed Pokemania.

This kind of argument can be made for any IP that gets more than one installment. It doesn't automatically make the first entry the best one or the only one worthy of respect. You're underrating the value of refining and improving upon those initial concepts, like gens 3, 4 and 5 did, which is not always as easy as it looks on paper.
