I dont hate gen 1. But the fact is gen 1 is always over represented. Most of the mega pokemon in X/Y, were gen 1 mons. Game freak used a very nice “alolan form” concept, but only for gen 1 mons. Now gen 1 is getting a second remake, while sinnoh any at all yet.

But lets say okay, fine to another gen 1 remake. Now, why exclude pokemon like scizor or steelix, who is an evolution of a gen 1 mon? Or how about at least give us sevii islands? Nope.

Oras did this right by including mons like gallade, evo of kirlia, which only came into existence in gen 4.

Besides, most of my complaints for the game isnt even because its gen 1. Its removal of wild battles (which were in the originals, btw), held items and abilties (which were in firered/leafgreen), making it piss easy to get shinies (diminishing its novelty). Cant battle randoms anymore, and wonder trade has been removed too.

Never said the game wouldnt sell (of course it would sell, duh), but the fact remains, compared to recent pokemon games, this looks like a husk of one.

And to repeat, I dont hate gen 1. I hate the over representation of gen 1.

This is no conspiracy theory. The things that are removed/not in the game are confirmed to not be there.

Alolan forms of gen 1 are garbage and lack creativity. Sun and moon is a disappointment it lacks gym battles and those z moves are weird. So if your benchmark of pokemon apex is the last gen that was released then this game is far better than the 67 you claim it deserves 

Fighting wild pidgey and geodude is not in any way what makes pokemon great. Raising your pokemon and catching collecting are the main points plus exploration which is in its prime now wuth these amazing graphics that allow kanto to shine better than 20 years ago and 15 when the remake was released. 

Sun/Moon were great pokemon games. The totem battles felt more like boss fights than the gym leader ever was (which was just normal polemon just two or three levels wbove normal). Alolan forms were qm awesome idea, especially exeggutor and ninetales.

No, wild battles are a huge part of pokemon, which make catching feel more rewarding than this waggle based minigame will ever do.

Better graphics wont make kanto any less of a bland region. Sun/Moon had more side areas to discover than red/blue, so there is no way exploration is in its “prime”
