Oh, it all makes sense now! *Snaps fingers* You're not here to shit post, you're a Genwunner!

Well have you played any of the modern games? Because if you had, then the title would make sense, as others have said. Blue will always have a special place in my heart, but I wouldn't touch that game again with a 10-foot pole without my nostalgia goggles on. There are many things wrong with the modern games, but any objective person will admit that the Pokemon series as a whole (slowly) gets better with each progressive generation.

Of course it gets better, just like most franchises, but it could have improved so much more. Gen 2 improved quite a lot compared to gen 1, but after that the number of improvements made got smaller each gen.

Red & Blue were good games back in 1996, but Sun & Moon were pretty mediocre in 2016.

I mean, just imagine how good the games could be, if they were less linear, if there was less hand-holding, if they were somwhat challenging, if the story was actually good, if the post-game was better, if they didn't use the same Pokémon over and over again while forgetting about others...

All these points are true. But do you think R&B are better games today than S&M now? If I could quantify the pure fun I had with a game and love I have for it, there would be a giant statue of Squirtle in my living room, next to The Hero of Time. But that doesn't make Blue a better game today.
