anytime some kid tries to explain why first generation pokemon sucked...

Psychic pokemon were just too overpowered in the first generation.

I work at walmart. I got in an argument with a (probably) 10 year old because he said some dumbassed new penguin Pokemon can beat anything. So I proceeded to list all the type advantages and this is a direct quote: "you made those up. And only an idiot believes in a type advantage. The only thing that matters is having the bigger Pokemon". I told him that he sucked and probably gives up after the first gym boss. And he said "I don't play. I watch the tv show"

And that's the story of how my Pokemon loving boss had to make me take a 15.

You could use this for any generation

Haunter is by far the coolest pokémon made.

Every generation is good imo, just wish they didn't make the animations take so much longer for every game.

I've played since the release of Red/Blue, and I've loved every entry in the series since. Everyone has their favorites; I have favs from each gen. Its just kinda depressing to see people get so twisted about the looks of a new pokemon and proceed to hate the rest of the series from then on. At least give the new games a chance!

Any time some hip older guy tries to explain why the newer generations suck...

There are pokemon in generation 1 that were fucking terrible and pokemon from later generations that were awesome. I do think later pokemon designs became too complicated. I hate pretty much every legendary after first generation, they all have penis heads and basically lack a theme, despite the numerous random details thrown onto them.

OGBrownboy · 1 month

I honestly feel bad for the people who can't enjoy the new games because of the design of 2 pokemon. You're really missing out.

They're pretty much all the same game...

How about when an even older guy says all Pokemon suck, along with the Power Rangers?

I'm expecting downvotes from the nostalgia-blinded hivemind but I couldn't care less.

Objectively, the first generation of pokemon was a mess of a game. You would constantly run out of inventory space unless you used the PC, Dragon was a useless type outside of the novelty of using a dragon, Psychics and the special stat in general was OP as hell, and wrap and sleep broke the game.

But no, everyone and their mother says the first generation is the best when the game itself had many undeniable holes. It is by no means the best. It is simply your favorite; just as it is mine. Don't mistake favoritism for superiority.

*EDIT I forgot. If you do in fact downvote because you disagree (nice Reddiqutte by the way), prove to me that I'm wrong about Gen 1's problems.

I hate when people are like "first gen are the only good ones,5th gen SUCKS"

I love all the generations of pokemon. Because they all make kids lives as wonderful as mine was when I played Pokemon as a youngster.

I started playing the card game senior year of high school with my buddies because we realized nobody ever did that as a kid.

I was too proud to use any of the new pokemon, and restricted myself to the originals, because thats what I grew up with and because fuck your wobbafett. I learned the hard way that all of the new pokemon cards were made much, much, MUCH stronger. (a charizard made in 2010 is much stronger than an original charizard, and other pokemon are even stronger) so I would get murked every time I played. Made me angry that they kept making better and better pokemon and made the ones i grew up with look like pussies. Still fun though

I showed my nephew a picture of all the original 150, he said they weren't all there. No Chimchar... I then explained to him that it was the ORIGINAL 150 pokemon. He stared at me dumbfounded. Like, why was there only 150?

Mark_Luther · 1 month

Pokemon debuted when I was in high school. Every generation sucked. It's always been silly.

Potchi79 · 1 month

I agree. All pokemon sucks.

Probable_Foreigner · 1 month

I am going to get downvoted for saying this but I found generation 3 the best

snukz · 1 month

2nd gen was better than 1st gen. Anyone who says otherwise is drunk on nostalgia. Gold/silver blew red/blue out of the water in game-play.

RosSolis · 1 month

This is exactly how I feel about ALL the fucking people I know who are 20+ years old who say "Everything sucked after first gen." Or "As far as I'm concerned there are only 150 pokemon." Fuck you, the new games were great too, and 5th gen was amazing. Nostalgia goggles are way too strong.

Fuzzy1450 · 1 month

Third was my favorite.

nivarius · 1 month

Anytime a kid argues with you over the first generation of Pokemon? So, never?

Master_Marmite · 1 month

My favourite is Gen 3 and I like Gen 5 more than Gen 1, take that nostalgia fags. You fail to realize that the games get better. Oh and about the Gen 3-5 pokemon looking stupid and unoriginal, how about I remind you about Muk, Grimer, Mr.mime, Jynx, Ratata etc..

I think the mystery dungeon series does a good job of breaking generational hatred. Having the entire collection mixed up together makes individuals stick out more. Fuck Oddish when you can have motherfuckin' Tropius.

The fact that everyone in the comments are complaining about stats and OP pokemon makes me regret just using (mostly) the starter pokemon the entire game.

I'd like to see one reason to hate on Gen 5 besides "ICE CREAM AND GARBAGE"

predmikester · 1 month

The type balance wasn't there in the first generation. Also all the Ghost pokemon where poison as well.

Aleitheo · 1 month

Have they looked at the latest gen? Aside from a small handful of well designed pokemon that look look at home, most of the new gen are badly designed. Too much complexity and over-ornateness.

...there are kids trying to explain first generation pokémon sucked? This makes me sad.

All arguments are invalid.

First generation pokemon are great. The first generation games are probably second worst on series.

Zerevorr · 1 month

You are srsly discussing pokemon with underages?

GarenBushTerrorist · 1 month

They do suck, if you try to argue that the other ones suck. They're just as unimaginative/boring/creative as 2nd-5th gen. Everyone who liked 1st gen would like the rest of the gens if they gave them a chance.

rolfsnuffles · 1 month

I've never heard someone with the audacity to claim this.

CuriousPotato · 1 month

I loved 2nd generation, 1st was grey too but, just so many memories with the second.

slofish · 1 month

Does anyone share my hate for the 2nd and 4th generations simply because of the lack of originality? They added baby pokemon and trade evolutions accompanied by only a few others.

First generation was terribly imbalanced in favor of psychic types. Bug and ghost type moves didn't exist in good enough quantities to fully counter them. The type spread in general was also just pretty bad in that generation

GreyouTT · 1 month

I like Gen 3 the best. However, I was disappointed when I found out I couldn't go to the other regions like in Gen 2.

XelNigma · 1 month

I only played Red and Blue, So the first ~151 is all knew. Iv only seen the others in Pokemon cartoons and stuff and I have to say, they look really stupid. it really shows that the most effort was put in the originals and the rest where just created in a hurry to cash in on the craze.

havocson · 1 month

I hate no Pokemon generation, but the 4th was my favorite.
