Why the fuck would Pokémon Red and Blue get this far, let alone beat Ruby and Sapphire?

Next you're telling me that if R/B/Y went up against FireRed and LeafGreen, the Gen 1 games would win easily.

Fire Red and Leaf Green are bad remakes in fairness.

But also yeah, there's more than just Pokemon.

FR/LG weren't the best, but Gen 1 was too outdated

And what other games were worth noting?

FR/LG are pretty bland, and glitches were like half the fun of the originals, so RBY > FR/LG makes sense. Though Emerald, HG/SS, and Gen 5 are all better IMO.

The only good glitches are Missingno and the Mew Glitch.

But there are a lot of other glitches that don't add anything useful to the game. A lot of moves in the game don't function the way they are intended to be.

I always saw glitches as a neat little exploit as a kid, but after 30 minutes of fooling with them it wasn't much to care about.

They aren't a bad thing in how they affect Gen I gameplay. They're just a thing.

So is Gen 2, but they got an amazing remake. FR/LG added nothing, and it took way too long to be able to actually trade between it and R/S/E.


As for what other games 1998 have. If you think Ocarina of Time wouldn't get far on Gamefaqs, then this may be your first time entering a contest.

Final Fantasy Tactics, Banjo Kazooie, and Metal Gear Solid are also popular games.

RBY would sadly beat FRLG on this site. RBY existed at like the absolute maximum hype of the series. Most of us who come to this site likely grew up playing it, played with kids at school and even got suckered into buying the cards and playing/trading them too. It was a huge deal back then and people have a lot of fond memories of it even though the series continued to improve the game mechanics and whatnot. I don't think Gen 1 holds up at all compared to the later gens, but I can see why people still consider it the #1 even if I don't agree

^ I just call them "missing out" but yeah it's a silly thing to begrudge people over.


....Granted part of it started due to a lot of the gen 1 players talking crap about how the entire rest of the series(Except maybe 2) is bad and how they feel sorry for kids today. It's backlash that turned into... whatever it is today.

No it's a term for people that refuse to accept new things and think that the thing they grew up with is the best just because they have nostalgia for it
People that are not objective are the worst

I don't mind people thinking that there is a decline in Pokemon designs quality, but I read some people that say that every Pokemon past the 151 (or 251) is trash and they refuse to admit Gen 1 has some terribly designed Pokemon as well

Not to mention those are the same people that also tried playing newer Pokemon games and still insist that the originals are the best
I played RB again recently on the 3DS VC and oh my god they are worse than I remembered
Pokemon barely learn any moves, what they learn is usually trash, TMs are one use, GREAT BALLS ARE ACTUALLY BETTER THAN FUCKING ULTRA BALLS

No, that's not what a Genwunner is.

A genwunner is someone who insists that Gen 1 is the only good gen and all other gens after it suck.

Basically, they shame everyone else for enjoying anything past Gen 1.

red and ruby are pretty much the exact same game. sequels that don't make drastic improvements over their predecessors should not be weighted as heavily as if they were standalone games.

The first gen is definitely the one I nostalgia the most over. There are horrible design choices in it for sure, but they were our horrible design choices by golly.

I did play some of the gens that followed, and there were certainly some great quality of life improvements, but I just couldn't get into them past a certain point. I don't begrudge anyone for doing otherwise. People can like what they like and that's fine.
