Same reason people have come to hate Melee ( Faggot community ) except Genwun is an archaic product of its time full of convenient but bland choices: Whether that's good or not depends on who you ask.

They'll never understand because they weren't there.

mostly due to the fanbase

also glitches and bugs

sp-speshial...

pikachu...

EDEEEEEESHUN! xD

Yikes

at least melee is a wholy different experience than the other titles so the preference is justified. All other gens are superior to Gen 1 gameplaywise genwunners just hate it because there's more pokemon to keep track of. Gen 2 has more in common with melee but even then it had a superior remake in Gen 4.

epic

The game itself hasn't aged well compared to future titles, it feels really slow to play as well.

It's very outdated and every single entry after it is bigger, faster and more polished.

Gen 1 is great. Was great. It's just dated, nowadays. I prefer the newer versions just for all the improvements that have come along the way. Like not having to save every time you change a Pokemon storage box.

And no, I don't consider let's go evee and pikachu the best because they're the newest. Those are practically a mobile game port. I do not like pokemon go. Mainline games only.

Have no idea but if I had to guess it would be because pokemon's faggy fanbase started on later titles.

>literally fake glitches all along
Biggest shocker to me. There was no mew, no truck, no using cut without the HM, no missingno. Unbelievable.

gen wun haters everywun

everything after feels slow to play with all the bloat they added. experience bar animations, weather, innate abilities that give you status effects.

because gen 2 is the same game except better

I don't hate Gen 1. The ardent fans of it just tend to be extremely obnoxious.
The actual stuff from that gen is rather nice outside of the games. The TCG in particular.

They were raised not to. Nuture vs nature. Also low replay.

Because it's just not a good game and has a toxic community. Doesn't help Gamefreak throws genwun shit at our faces whenever a new gen comes out. They're clinging onto old bland ideas that keeps the franchise from having fresh innovations. Gen 1 is literally the reason the franchise is stagnating.

All the future smash games are also better gameplay wise unless you think there's only 6 stages in each game like a stinkyfag.

I'm talking about mechanics not stages

Genwunners are fags. The generation itself is fine, and the games were okay for the time, if not hilariously broken in retrospect.

The original gen1 games have mechanically aged like shit while visually you can take it or leave it

You said gameplay wise, and the stage choices count as a part of gameplay.
Nice try to backpedal, but I have you now!

Gen 1 is a mess bound together with bubble gum and tape, yet it still somehow works and established a good foundation to build on. I don’t see why a anyone would ”hate” it, but it’s pretty clear that the latter games are larger, cleaner and better balanced. That is, until the 3DS era where the series entered a freefall that has yet to end.

Because they're bitter about Gen1 players being bitter about how shitty pokemon has become. But that was inevitable, the game was already fucking boring and basically the same recycled game by Gen2.

Better question: Why do people hate Yugioh before it became about who can fish through their deck quicker?

>no Mew in Yellow

Everything after gen 2 sucks which makes what you say completely invalid.

Because some disabled people and their mothers praise gen 5

Gold and Silver, or the remakes, are unironically the best games in the series if only for the difficulty and full second campaign. Plus you kick Ash's ass for a final boss. Kino lads. 7 year old me was having seizures when I encountered him on Mt Silver.

Who hates gen 1 besides literal autists?

Damn broskis, I was fucking SEVEN when I bought a new shiny Gameboy Pocket with Pokemon Red. Now I'm 29. How the fucking time flies...

>Everything after gen 2
Gen 2 sucks dick, every other game that came after it was an improvement.

Game themselves are not so bad, but not really too goos either. The main thing is genwunners never shut up.

I asked my zoomer brother to play red when it came out on the 3ds eshop and he loved it. He said its his second favourite after emerald.

Ok, just to be clear, am I a "Gen Wunner" if I'm 26 and grew up with the games to the point where I have extreme nostalgia for the first game and most of my favorite pokemon come from it , BUT I recognize it as not being inherently better mechanics wise in comparison to following pokemon games?
