Best pokemon not by far though.

Yup. I preferred how a lot of the story stuff was in the background and it isn't forced down the player's throat like it is now.

Yup. Less "animal but a cute cartoon" and more "fictional but believable and appealing creature"

If we're talking about what gen 1 did right, I've come to appreciate the level design. There were so many points in XY where there's just some npc blocking the way because you're not supposed to go there yet. In RBGY if you weren't supposed to go somewhere your path would be blocked by an object and you'd have to search for the solution before you could proceed, giving a nice exploring/problem solving element to the overworld. In XY, however, you just get stopped by an electrician/team flare grunt/etc and told to go the other way. You're met with some unrewarding dialogue, maybe a piss-easy battle, and then you can go on, without ever really having any agency.

>poke red blue doesnt have a story

You are all literally 10. The story is that you're Red; and you set off on a quest to capture them all and beat the gym leaders. Oak sends you off to fulfil his wish where as your Rival seeks to beat you. Over the time; you learn that Team Rocket has a plot to take over Kanto and so you stop them which leads you to destroying their two main offices thus forcing Team Rocket to go legit. On the way; you discover a man who visits The Poke Tower after batteling a cubone who was killed by Team Rocket. Finally you make it to the island and discover the genetic freak Mewtwo. You then explore abandoned power houses and caves to capture the Three legendary birds. After getting all badges you join the leagues top finally solidifying yourself as the best trainor in pokemon history. Just because theres not a 20 minute cutscene explaining everything and hand holding doesnt imply it has no story.

>Oh no! My grandson, who you've fought the entire game with the same underlying goal that I thrust on you at the beginning, is now the strongest dude! Hopefully you'll beat him like you did every other time, because we can't progress until you beat him!

No Pokemon has a good story.

Not really that great. In terms of the villain team I like Gen 1 and 2 the most for their simplicity but in terms of the general story none of these games are very good.

I still am baffled that none of the games have really given the protagonist a REASON to beat the League aside from "it's there". It's like, along the adventure you just HAPPEN to be getting stronger, so you might as well complete the League while you're at it. If it wasn't so core to the series I'd say it was tacked on.

>>27054552
And it still looks better than a fucking blaziken, chestnaught or one of those retarded treeko things.
>>
>>27054568
Animals with angry eyes look rad.

Better than something that looks like blaziken the digimon that's for sure.

All those are rad except Mr.Mime and Jinx.

I think the original idea was that they want to attack you with their monsters but you use yours to defend yourself until they have none left.

Gen 5 had a reason to beat the elite 4, it was actually a part of the plot. You had to beat the elite 4 to get to ghetsis who just defeated the elite four

Because he wants to be the best. No different to competing at sports or games or whatever. People enjoy competition, and they enjoy winning.
>>27056464
And that's why no one gives a shit about Alder compared to other champions. Merging the climax of the villainous team plot and the Elite 4 was a mistake.

The design ethic of people who moan about gen I.
>>
>>27056670

My point was that not every Pokemon can be Charizard/Blastoise/Gyarados/Dragonite/Mewtwo. Genwhiners like to think that every Pokemon after the first generation is bad despite the fact that they only a handful of gen 1 Pokemon are remembered by everyone.

And isn't the whole point of Pokemon that you catch and train the ones that you like. Why should a blackface caricature or an ice cream Pokemon even matter when you can have an electric spider or a landshark dragon beat the shit out of things?

It's like you guys think that if there's at least one design YOU don't like, then they all suck.

Being Gen 1 means it created Pokemons, so the gen 1 pokemons are the standard of what a pokemon should look like.
