2 Gives overrated gen 1 Pokemon special treatment for no reason at all except for fan service

Both the reason and the response are perhaps the most distorted, illogical, warped, and tortured set of reasoning ever, and about a topic that matters exactly zero.

T! H! I! S! I'm a little tired of gen 1 Pokemon being treated like they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. I think all Pokemons deserve a time to shine, which might be hard with +1000 now, but it's not by giving Charizard two Megas, one Gigantamax and making it the ace Pokemon of the Galar champion (who, outside of the Gigantamax form which other Pokemons have as well, has no business being the ace of the GALAR champion, that should be a Galar Pokemon.

6 It doesn't really need to happen
7 New Pokemon games need to stand on their own as a new experience for everyone and not throwbacks to gen 1 most of the time
8 Kalos ended up not being much of a entirely new region like it was supposed to be in the XY games

Since Let's go is out now. Lets just hope stuff like this doesn't happen again.

9 May cause Pokemon Sun and Moon to have a pandering/fan service crisis like XY that could lower the quality of the games
10 Alola Wound Up Being Kanto V2
The Contenders
11 It was nice at first, but now it's getting aggravating.
