The First Generation, and Why Your Nostalgia is Stupid

Hey, remember Pokemon Red and Blue? If you're reading this, you probably do.

CRAP. THAT RHYMED.

Hey, those days of 150 Pokemon are long gone, and things just aren't the same. Wasn't it a lot better then?

NO. YOU'RE STUPID AND YOUR NOSTALGIA IS TOO.

That's you, buddy. Slow on the uptake. What, was the first gen so freakin' great that it could never be improved? BAH. NO. And anyway, it was always 151. MEW, PEOPLE.

So people, here's why complaining about "POKEMON JUST ISN'T GOOD SINCE THOSE DAYS!" is a dumb thing to say.

Okay, first off, "THE NEW POKEMON SUCK! GAMEFREAK AND/OR NINTENDO IS RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS!"

Sure, ice cream, garbage bags, those kinda suck for ideas. Pokemon were much more creative in Kanto, right?

WRONG. When I think "Pokemon", I always think of a half dozen eggs. Really? This this what you consider to be perfection? How about this?

Everyone freakin' loves mimes! Oh, hey, here's this!

Yep. Yep. Nothin' wrong with that.

What am I saying here? Get them Cornn Berries outta your ears! THE POKEMON OF YESTERYEAR SUCK TOO! So stop wishin' it was the old days, and maybe we won't get a toilet Pokemon! Like, Water/Ground typing. Maybe some Poison attacks.

You complain, "PSYCHIC TYPE SUCKS NOW!" Durrrrrrrr... I wonder why! Is it because it was impossible to beat back in that broken mess of a game? They couldn't even program their own rules right!

There were lots of bugs, and not the typing. Ghost was weak to Psychic? Nice job! Missingno.? Loved him, but beyond bad programming! Glitch City? Yeah, this was a top-notch game, folks.

You see, your nostalgia just sucks. So did those games. Hey, it was because of Red and Blue that I even began this love affair with Pokemon! But really, they were not the shining gem on a pile of hay. They were sufficient. Definitely a great game there, but it coulda used more time to work on.

Anyway, that's this rant. Next time we'll talk about whatever I feel like. You'll tune in 'cause you know you wanna.
