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?

That's a joke right?

I mean I love gen.1 but it has some of the worst designs in the whole series heck I bet if that gen. wasn't the 1st one but was the any other gen,especially the more recent gens,people would hate the majority of the Pokémon.

Well, that's your opinion and I have mine. The newer pokemon, imo, are cheaply made and were made without heart. Gen 1-2 and even 3, were very organic and to me, from the heart of the original character designers. I know an American friend in college who is now working on monster designs in Japan. Their designs aren't my cup of tea. They just look very cheap and not very genuine compared to the first 3 gens.

You love gen1, good for you but don't seat there and talk down other gens and how gen 1 is the best and let me tell you if any gen fits your " are cheaply made and were made without heart."is gen 1 since it's the laziest and less original out of all the Pokémon gens

You have talked about some of the newer and older pokes designs and you praise the old like they are gods apart MR.Mime and Jinx, from putting down an inanimate objects from the newer gens but defending one the older ones, putting down a trash pokémon but say nothing regarding a very similar pokémon from the original  gen.

You have a problem with an ice cream cone beign a pokémon but what about a bunch of eggs?

And let's not forget Diglett,Doduo,Magnimate that apart from their very simple design,when they evolve they just get a friend(s),or how about  the tiny bird pokémon that keep getting bigger or the rocks with arms or the bodybuilders or the KickBoxer that was divided in 2 or a ballon or a kanguroo or a palm tree or a cat and his evolution a bigger cat or a electric rat and his evolution where he gets fatter gets a different color, tail and hears.

I love gen1 but don't praise it and put down other gens for things that gen1 not only did it as well but did it more
