Yeah but I only started watching tv in the late 90's and by that point Brady Bunch was usually way too late or was dedicated to marathons.

Its one of the most famous TV lines ever and also one of the reasons we were to middle children the way we do. Born in the 90s, never watched an episode. Don't have to memorize shit.Brady Bunch is like...early 1970's. Why would a person born in 1991 have that show memorized? Even when I started watching tv on a regular basis the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Full House overtook that show on Nick at Night.
I largely agree with you. I'm just saying, the lack of the evolutions in Let's Go was largely a mistake, in my eyes, and absolutely shows that Game Freak treats the first 151 different from the rest, to the detriment of the games.Personally speaking, my beef with gen 4 is that those gen 1 evolution designs SUCKED, stat boosts were needed tho. And then I just don't like a lot of Gen 5's designs. But White 2 is my favorite game so we're cool.
I just don't care about Gen inclusion at this point. When you can access all gens anyway in the main series. I didn't care for Let's Go, I didn't buy Let's Go.
Seems more productive to request things like hard mode. More end game content. Bringing back PSS. Better AI. Rematches with gym leaders and so on.
Pokemon feels like a band and each generation feels like an album. Even if a band of mine released five okay to good to fantastic albums before they fell off, they'll be favorites of mine.The last two gens of Pokémon were also the worst two gens of Pokémon.
The best generation was Gen 5, which was bold enough to release a mainline game without Pikachu or Eevee. It cannot be overstated how crazy that was. But the backlash from Gen 1 fans (muh ice cream) probably scared them from doing that ever again.

You are weirdly insistent with a dumb TV show quote.Its one of the most famous TV lines ever and also one of the reasons we were to middle children the way we do. Born in the 90s, never watched an episode. Don't have to memorize shit.
Because you have some people on the internet who act like the only games they ever enjoyed playing were the Gen 1 games, and the idea that one can still be a fan of the series despite not liking any of the games released in the last 20 years doesn't sit right with some people.Probably because you said "generation one fans aren't even fans!!!"
Give me a break.
Not everything is an attack on you. Not everything is about you. How many different ways do I have to say that? Fuck. Offer a solution that's not "cater to me and not them". I cannot possibly make that any clearer.You are weirdly insistent with a dumb TV show quote.
If you want to insult someone why not just do so instead of hoping they'll understand what you're going for with an out of context to show quote they might not have heard of?
Why are you taking everything as an insult.Oooooooooooookaaaaaaaay....not realizing why my lack of understanding American Pop Culture is being used as an insult here. I've never heard of that, apparently this makes it ok to mock me for it.
Man it's a shame no one told Gen 1 fans this.
Nah son, I meant people who ONLY like gen 1 ain't fans. You can't like one instalment from 20 years ago and actively shit on everything from inbetween and call your self a fan.Probably because you said "generation one fans aren't even fans!!!"
Give me a break.
Sure, but good designs needed to go in their place. You can be bold, but the product you're putting in place of the old needs to live up to it, gen 5 is the only gen that failed to do that and that was the one gen that put everything up front. 6 and 7 could've done the exact same thing and not get that criticism.The last two gens of Pokémon were also the worst two gens of Pokémon.

I think you underestimate how much people didn't approve of Gen 5 only having new Pokemon, any generation that did that would have had a ton of backlash, regardless of the quality of the designs.Sure, but good designs needed to go in their place.

Quoting no one.Man it's a shame no one told Gen 1 fans this.
Or that I wasn't asking them to do that in the first place.
You need to relax dude. You're getting mad at people not hearing of a TV show.
To be fair thats what they've always done.The colors selected for the gen 8 games will be a variation of red and blue
FRLG were bad, bland, featureless games back when they were new. Do ya really think a proper do-over'd make 'em good?Honestly, I would. An actual FRLG remake with all the traditional mechanics in place would be an easy sell.
Im saying Gen 5 specifically got that slack because the designs weren't good not because old ones weren't there.I think you underestimate how much people didn't approve of Gen 5 only having new Pokemon, any generation that did that would have had a ton of backlash, regardless of the quality of the designs.
And I'm saying that even if the designs were good, people would have been angry that the old ones weren't there; it's the principle of the thing.Im saying Gen 5 specifically got that slack because the designs weren't good not because old ones weren't there.
So you missed all the "GF should get rid of everything after Gen 1 threads?" Or the "all Pokémon after Gen 1 suck" threads?Quoting no one.
Continuing to act like a child.
Putting words in my mouth.
Par for the course.
But hey just keep insulting others who disagree with you if it makes you feel better.Its one of the most famous TV lines ever and also one of the reasons we were to middle children the way we do. Born in the 90s, never watched an episode. Don't have to memorize shit.
HAH! Yeah right these people complain about literally every Gen of Pokémon. It doesn't remotely matter what Gen it was if it wasn't Gen 1 they'll complain.Im saying Gen 5 specifically got that slack because the designs weren't good not because old ones weren't there.
Quoting no one.
Continuing to act like a child.
Putting words in my mouth. Tell me more about how I'm upset people didn't know of a show I never watched myself.
Par for the course.
Please. The "lol Digimon" / "Arent real Pokemon" shit has been here way before Gen 5.Im saying Gen 5 specifically got that slack because the designs weren't good not because old ones weren't there.
They've been banking on Gen 1 nostalgia since 2013. It'd be nice if Gamefreak can have enough confidence in Gen 8 to forgo the use Gen 1 as easy marketing. X/Y and SuMo lack identity when new interesting mechanics are either biased towards Gen 1 or exclusive to it. Unfortunately, I don't think Gamefreak or TPC believes they can sell Pokémon without using the og 151 anymore.
I don't think TPC or Gamefreak are searching through video game forums or YouTube comments sections to make major decisions around the franchise. They probably just see that Gen 5 sold the least amount of copies in the series and have worked from there. It is a shame though, especially since gen 5 are the games in the series.It's isn't that they don't believe in it. It's that they don't want to deal with the intense mockery, backlash and complaining Genwunners lobbed at Gen 5 for having the hall to only have the new Pokemon playable until end game. That game-like all Pokemon games made bank, but it was horrible being a Gen 5 fan.
Ask people want they remember about Gen 5 off the bat and the first thing that comes to mind are people still saying it's shit because of the same 4 meme Pokemon out of a batch 100+ new mons. The only thing Gen 5 will be remembered for on the surface is the Icecream Cone/Trash bag Pokemon and being tjrast pixel based mainline games. Thanks Genwunners for successfully making GF averse to even acknowledging the games existence. Since Gen 5 all we get as nods of reference is Grimsley mini cameo in USUM and Chandelure existing in Pokken because it's stupidly popular in Japan.
Gen 1 Stan's have effectively made it so that GF will ONLY make nods to them. Fuck you if you were a fan or grew up with any gen past 3
can't be any worse than Let's Go thenFRLG were bad, bland, featureless games back when they were new. Do ya really think a proper do-over'd make 'em good?
If you love Pokémon like you say, then you wouldn't want more of what's been ruining the games for the past two gens.
I mean, yea. Unlike Genwunners, people who complain about the pandering actually like Pokemon as a series. People are just tired of the focus of it being entirely on Gen 1 when there's 20 years of Pokemon not getting the time of dayIt wouldn't be a Pokémon thread on era without shitting on gen 1. Y'all whine about gen 1 pandering more than genwunners whine about new Pokémon.
Folks are going to be so mad when gen 8 drops and gen 1 gets some other mechanic that is skewed heavily (or entirely) towards those Pokémon. And y'all will buy it anyway
And I ask again why would Genwunners complain when there the ones being catered to?It wouldn't be a Pokémon thread on era without shitting on gen 1. Y'all whine about gen 1 pandering more than genwunners whine about new Pokémon.
Folks are going to be so mad when gen 8 drops and gen 1 gets some other mechanic that is skewed heavily (or entirely) towards those Pokémon. And y'all will buy it anyway
On the other hand, this sweeping generalization isnt true either. I hate gen 1 pandering, and still think Gen 5 had weak pokemon design (stuff like klingklang, confagrigus, genies, duosion/solosis, cyagonal, etc). Though I do respect them being that bold, and wish they would do something like gen 5 again.HAH! Yeah right these people complain about literally every Gen of Pokémon. It doesn't remotely matter what Gen it was if it wasn't Gen 1 they'll complain.
I don't consider it as ruining. Thought that would have been obvious.
So you would prefer a lesser product over one that stands on its own merits?
Lesser in what way and to whom? I don't think it's possible to answer you overly vague question.
LEts go is a gen 7 game and melmetal is a gen 7 Pokémon .Gen 8 literally started with a "remake" of Gen 1. I've stated my feelings regarding PLG several times, so I firmly believe that's it's all downhill from here.
But Game Freak won't care. They will turn everything into PLG and you. will. like. it.
