Why is this site so deadlocked on converting people. I have reasons/opinions why I don't like certain generations. I was born in a time where there was NO pokemon or it was just being released in Japan. The pokemon now have rigid edges and aren't organic, which is why I state they look mechanical, not in appearance or composition but in the art element of line. Gen 1 did have Muk and Koffing but they were cleverly designed to make you think of what they could be. Now, it's just a pair of keys and a trash bag plain as day. Like I said, I was born in 1996 okay. The first pokemon game I played was sapphire, then diamond, I didn't even know about the first 2 gens. I had to backtrack to play the first 2 games. I have no nostalgia for the first two games. They were painful to play. But I could say that at least the monster designs were much better composed and recognizable. To me, the new designs look like nickelodeon cartoons. I'm not saying gen 6 didn't have decent pokemon, that's like saying 1990 was the only decade that had decent music. I'm just saying that In MY OPINION, they don't look as good as the first 3 or 4 gens.
The story in Pokemon games these days isn't that good anyways. It's not about story, so shoehorning a legendary just to "to create a more meaningful story to the game and they do a good job at that." isn't working that well. That Lasandre guy or however you spell his name was the lamest villain tied to legendaries in the entire series. I loved that the first games didn't give a crap about Legendaries, nor was much known about them. That, if anything adds depth to the story rather than spelling everything out to us like we're in kidnergarten like gen 5 and 6. In the first 2 games specifically, you were on a journey and by some chance you learn of legendaries. Now it's like every game, the legendary takes center stage. Pokemon never relies on a strong story, nor has it ever had one. Nor does it need one. But citing inclusions of legendaries as important plot devices isn't that cool.

I understand where you're coming from... but at this point, it's kinda useless to keep the discussion going.
(and I was born in 1995 and started with Blue, then Silver. lol)
I at least know I definitely am the only one who liked Team Flare and Lysandre's story.

True, let's agree to disagree :D I'm just glad nobody had to cuss me out.
