Yeah Gen1 and 2 are my favorites. 3 was good but after that it has gone down hill... Its obvious too me that nintendo feels like they need to keep up with the times and in doing so creates pokemon that reflect advances in tech and pop culture but I just think they should use all those old pokes that are locked away that were gonna be in gen 1 and 2 but didnt make the cut and use all of them. I want too see those 3 "pokemon 2 demo" starters that were in beta testing and all the other beta pokes, Screw the new stuff. Bring out the old and people will love it.
Name ONE Pokemon that is based on something in pop culture. Well... I mean there are Smoochum and Tyranitar, but Gen 2 was ~perfect~ so I suppose they don't count. And Gen 1's urban setting and ideas about cloning are also a clear exception to anything to do with new tech, because they're Gen 1.
Did you know that the creator of Pokemon has said that he's had around 1000 ideas since the start of Red/Blue? Some of the Pokemon we have now may very well be modern versions of the beta ideas they originally scrapped. Or that have just been held off. Shellos/Gastrodon, for example, were originally planned for R/S/E.
