Top 10 Things Pokemon Genwunners Say

1. Charizard is the best Pokémon ever

   

   I somewhat agree with this, but no, it's not the best because of its weaknesses to both Kanto and Kalos Gyms.

   It will never battle alone. It needs teammates on its side.

   I like Charizard (Lizardon), but I don't solo run with it. I wanted a team of Charizard (Lizardon), not a solo starter run.

   Genwunners don't bash newer incarnations. They ignore the franchise.

   For Genwunners, he is. For TRUE fans, he's not the best.

2. Mewtwo is the strongest Pokémon ever

   

   There are more Legendary Pokémon that are as strong as Mewtwo.

   Eternatus is the strongest Legendary.

   Ultra Necrozma will stop at nothing to destroy anything as a Legendary. It's stronger than Mewtwo.

   *Rayquaza and Mega Mewtwos enter the room, wreck Mewtwo.*

   Mewtwo is not the strongest. Genwunners probably hate "Mega Evolution" and other features like that, but a Mega Mewtwo X/Y or Mega Rayquaza could whoop Mewtwo to the ground.

   Sorry to break it to you, but Mewtwo can't beat the Diamond/Pearl trio.

3. They're really running out of ideas

   Well, sorry for having nostalgia. Well, sorry for trying to play Pokemon again, but it didn't seem the same, and I got bored. I know it's a kids' game.

   I'm from the first generation of Pokémon, but all generations have had weird Pokémon. I know about Muk and the egg Pokémon. I thought Gloom was weird with the drooling, some Pokémon looked like a Pokéball, and there were two with magnets. Do you want to enter a cave full of Zubats? But I know and remember the first-gen Pokémon more, and I'm just learning the new ones nowadays.

   New weird Pokémon are dumbed-down versions.

   The new starter designs look ridiculous.

4. Generation 5 has the worst Pokémon designs

   Actually, they rarely know about the existence of subsequent generations. Or maybe I'm salty because Gen 5 is my favorite.

   Well, they did, but it also had some of the best designs, like Hydreigon and Haxorus.

   Haxorus is an insane dragon that Gen 1 didn't even dream of.

5. They really should've stopped making games after the first ones

   Pokémon is too popular, but Nintendo and Game Freak have been making more out of the Pokémon gaming franchise after Generation One, which is the weakest of all Pokémon generations. I can hear the Genwunners berating me now.

   I admit the games are getting stale nowadays, but Pokémon is a juggernaut of a franchise that will never end.

   Gen 1 has a lot of flaws, and there's no stopping the Pokémon series.

   Here are the flaws:

   Gen 1 has one Ghost line and one Dragon line, and a move called Dragon Rage.

   Ghost type isn't effective against Psychic types, and Psychic types were overpowered.

   Critical hits are based on speed.

   Focus Energy reduces your critical hit ratio.

   You only have the Special stat.

   Sprites weren't as good as they should be in Gen 1.

   Haze is extremely hazardous and broken.

   Poison typing and Bug typing are both strong and weak to each other.

   The dual typing you dealt or took damage from is ignored, like Grass and Poison typing being resistant to Poison but four times weak to Bug types and weak against Ground types instead of taking neutral damage.

   Charizard (Lizardon) can't fly.

   You have limited item bag space.

   You can't catch Pokémon when your PC is full.

   Rage keeps you going until you switch or faint.

   Trapping moves prevent you from moving.

   Multi-hit attacks apply critical hit damage after dealing or taking a critical hit.

   You spend a turn after you wake up from sleep status.

   You can't thaw out from frozen status unless hit by a Fire-type move.

   Gen 1 Pokémon have limited movesets and no abilities.

   The pacing and progression are slow, and the AI difficulty in Gen 1 is too low.

   The low HP sound effect cuts some sound effects and Pokémon cries.

   The music is limited and decent but lacks some themes.

   There's no post-game content.

   Rare and Legendary Pokémon can dodge Pokéballs.

   Random moves sometimes miss.

   Your stats stay lowered while burned or paralyzed until you switch out.

   Leech Seed and Badly Poisoned statuses activate each turn.

   Move animations and routes were too similar and had too many trainers to fight without breaks.

   The overworld feels timeless.

   Gen 1 isn't perfect, but hey, they were okay games, in my opinion.

6. Pokémon Yellow was a gift from God

   *Laughs* Yeah, and Pikachu was just the BEST, most overpowered starter ever!

7. Pokémon today are nothing but inanimate objects

   Yeah, and these inanimate objects are combined with creatures (e.g., Scizor) to make them insanely powerful.

   "Pokémon just became inanimate objects!"

   *Oddish, Gloom, and Vileplume enter.*

   Fight me, because I like to protect all non-Gen 1 inanimate objects from those Genwunners.

8. They'll never make a Pokémon game as good as the first ones

   I personally don't like the Gen 1, 2, or 6 games, but I do like the Pokémon in those generations. I wish the games would be pixelated again but not too old-looking like Gen 1 and 2. Maybe like Gen 5.

   Yungstirjoey666 - bugs and glitches? I suppose you don't really like retro games.

9. I remember when Legendary Pokémon were actually legendaries

   Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres were the only Legendary Pokémon you encountered in Gen 1. However, that isn't enough for some people because the Legendary birds didn't have much lore, and the anime barely added any.

   "Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice, or lightning, lest these three titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash."

   There are more Legendary Pokémon than just Mewtwo and the Legendary birds.

   For example:

   Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, based on Time, Space, and Distortion

   The Lake Guardians: Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie, the ones with Emotion, Power, and Knowledge

   Reshiram and Zekrom, based on Truth and Ideals or Yin and Yang

   Eternatus is based on the Darkest Day lore

   Koraidon and Miraidon are based on past and future timelines

   And many more

10. I can't keep up with all these new Pokémon

    Dude, I can keep up. Just show me any Pokémon, and I can name it. Genwunners are pathetic.

    Who said you had to memorize them?

    Neither can I, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the newer gens.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Why would Honedge get another sword for evolution?

12. ?

    All of these new changes are ridiculous

The Contenders

13. Pokémon Red is the best game ever

    The best Pokémon game is Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl. It's very smart, deep, witty, addictive, and sharp.

    That is a biased opinion. They are all good, but my personal favorite is HeartGold and SoulSilver.

    Why ignore Platinum?

    It's better than both Diamond and Pearl combined!

14. Only the first 151 are original because they were made first, so nothing else is Pokémon

    Pikachu is the only one of my top 5 favorite Pokémon that is from Gen 1. (It's my favorite.) So that is an insult to my other 4 favorite Pokémon: Incineroar, Decidueye, Primarina, and Piplup.

15. Gen 1 is the best Pokémon gen ever

    I'm sorry to leave you thinking that. It's just that, well, Generation 1 (aka Kanto) is the only Pokémon generation that I like less - and I mean much less - mainly because it's the most underwhelming. Generation 5, which is on par with Generation 2, is far better in my opinion. My favorite and the strongest Pokémon generation is Generation 4.

    Yeah, and Gen 1 had the most glitches. Also, Gen 1 did not have IVs, EVs, or natures either. It only had 5 legendaries. Yeah, I know, too many legendaries can be a bad thing, but the legendary ideas in Gen 1 are some of the worst compared to others. The bird trio is just upgraded Pidgeys, and Mewtwo is good but isn't the best.

16. Ludicolo, really, how racist! Jynx clearly wasn't racist. It's a shame.

    Jynx got two episodes banned for being in them.

    Ludicolo? BROCK, a main character, had one, and no episodes were banned. So there.

    Who in their right mind would like Jynx?

17. Wait, people evolve their Eevees not with a Thunder Stone, Fire Stone, or Water Stone?

    Genwunners don't understand trading or evolving with different methods than usual.

    Yes, I evolved my Eevee into Umbreon by leveling him up with max happiness at night.

18. Fairy type? What's that?

    I'm a guy, and Fairy is one of my favorite types. Don't judge me.

19. Everything after Gen 1 sucks

    Pokémon was really just a '90s fad... until Pokémon Go was released.

    People who use the word Genwunners are, I'm guessing, bitter moaners who just didn't grow up in the days when it was more popular. Remember the card banning in schools? That wouldn't happen nowadays. Back then, everyone wanted the shiny card that you can now just buy on eBay.

20. No one hates fans of Gen 1 My Little Pony, so leave Gen 1 fans of Pokémon alone or else

21. Any Pokémon past Gen 1 isn't even a Pokémon

    Don't touch my favorite Pokémon, Umbreon!

22. It's not nostalgia, it's a fact

    No, it's literally a silly opinion.

23. The word "genwunners" is cyberbullying

    That wouldn't be the case if Genwunners weren't cyber bullies.

24. Stop moaning because you didn't grow up when it was popular

25. You watched Teletubbies or The Tweenies in the '90s, not Pokémon

26. The new Pokémon look a lot like Digimon

    Almost all of the Pokémon from Gen 5? Holy crap, will you just leave Oshawott alone?

27. Why are HMs gone? I miss the good old inconvenience of teaching my Charizard "Cut"

    I miss surfing on Kyogre outside of battle. Alpha Sapphire was great.
