For the last time...I was born in 1996. I didn't play Gen 1 until Fire Red and Leaf Green, and that was after I played Diamond and Pearl. It's not nostalgia, the designs were simple and effective and didn't look like cheap Americanized saturday morning cartoon characters like that bear. And Ice cream, keys, swords, trash, and God knows what else. Why is the only thing that upsets pokemon fans who see someone praising Gen 1, the pokemon designs?

 

Alright it was a bad assumption on my part to imply you're nostalgia blind, however your reasoning is hypocritical. Most Pokemon are based off real world things, be it objects or animals, that's been the case since gen1. It's pretty silly to say Klefki sucks while Magnemite is masterful. Also what really "upsets" me is when they try to say the gen 1 games are the best Pokemon games.

Yes, it was a bad assumption, and all imposing words are bad. If I don't like something, that's how I feel about it. You don't have to feel the same way about Gen 1 like I do. I'd rather use magnets because guess what, there are superheroes based on magnetism. There are no superheroes or anything supernatural about a pair of keys.What separates Magnemite from Klefki is the fact that Klefki is simply keys with eyes, Magnemite is much more complex and isn't just a N/S magnet.

Everyone has their own opinion, Gen 1 may be the best pokemon game...to somebody but that's as far as it'll go. It's as far as it'll go for someone to deem Gen 2 or 3 or 4, or 5, or 6 the best ones because there's no factual evidenec behind something like this.

I don't like Keys as monsters...I don't like Ice Cream as a monster. You may not like Magnets or Sludge, and that's fine. My issue is more of a design perspective than anything else. The new pokemon to me are ugly. IMO, magnemite looks better than Klefki in terms of design. But whatever floats your boat. I'll respect YOUR opinion, as long as you respect mine because if nothing can be proven as fact, it remains an opinion.
