Who cares about strict mechanical polish? You can polish a turd all day and it won't be any better for it. Gens 1 & 2 had soul that gradually vanished until it became a woke pile of shit that's buggier than ever.Genwhunners are a plague. They exist on every fandom. "Their first album was their best", "the first season was the best", "the first movie was the best". And in many cases they are right but not with Pokemon. The best games were the Gens 4-6. l think you guys need a reminder of how much clankier the Gens 1 & 2 were. I played Crystal and it was rougher than I imagined it would be.
Gens 4-6 are fine, but they're more sterile and corporate, and you can tell. I genuinely can't even remember any of their stories or characters or even tie which Team Rocket clones go to which games in those, if I even remember their names.
And in case anyone says it, it's not because I wasn't a kid anymore either, by that logic I wouldn't like certain later games in other kid friendly franchises either. People don't criticize New Super Mario Bros because they're not 12 anymore, it's because they have legitimate gripes.
