Anyone else deal with the "only original pokes are good" people?

It's not very hard to argue with them. Trubbish is just garbage, then what is Ditto? I liked BW and it's probably my favorite game. I actually had a lot of fun playing it.

Well, originality has it's own flare compared to any of the new releases. Want a hint? They're original. They were what WE grew up with, where the show actually had dynamic characters and a plotline, the card game was simpler, and the concept itself was new. Don't get me wrong, the new games are great. The original Pokemon are just, well, original, and aren't knockoffs of each other.

I consider the original 251 to be original by the way.

There's a difference between having the first gen as your favourite, and thinking first gen is the only good gen and ramming it down people's throats.

Most of them are just hipsters who 'like' pokemon ironically/because it's retro. I mostly ignore them.

A bunch of my friends thought this. Then I forced them to play B/W and they love it. They no longer think the originals are the best... well... some of them do. But it's because they still like them the most, not because they are original.

I actually like most newer Pokemon. My first game was Ruby so I got attached to a lot of Generation III Pokemon and Generation IV Pokemon when I started playing Pearl.

I'm starting to get attached to Generation V Pokemon as well even though I haven't gotten Black yet (which I am getting as a birthday present).

They are just hipsters. My brother does that all the time.

It's worst when they're also nostalgic of the anime. I grew up playing the pokemon games in release order starting from Red but I am not one bit nostalgic about anything from the first gen and I don't give a rat's *** about Misty.

If someone thinks that Gen I is the best, let them be. Everyone has their own opinion.

I think that all of the Pokémon are great, however GenV (Black/White) seems massively different to the others and I don't really like it as much. It almost seems like the creators are running out of ideas, I guess...

Black/White has awesome plots and music to make up for that, though. I'm hoping they'll make a new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game with Gen V in it...

I find it odd that this has to even be a factor.

Believe it or not, my first game was not Diamond and Pearl, or even Ruby and Saphire. It was Pokemon Red. Do I look Nostalgia Biased? No. I have characters like Loudred, Simisear, and Magneton in my sig. I adore everyone's least favorite Pokemon like my favorite pet cat. I even prefer 4th gens new evos to 2nd gens. Sure I still think 1st gen has some cool monsters, but I will always have an open mind to newer gens.

It's pretty unfair to assume that the people who do say the first gen is better is because of nostalgia. The first gen is better in my opinion.

But most of the time they are.

"deal with them". How can you deal with someone's opinion? The whole world is full of them and if you can't even except the small fact that people like the 1st gen more, then your going to have alot of arguments through out your life. ^_^

I always deal with these kind of people, saying that the generation V starters are stupid, and they never compare to the Generation 1 starters. In my oppenion, Pokemon Black and White's starters are Serperior! XD

I have a bunch of friends who play Pokemon. A good majority of them think the original RBY are the only way to play, while the others are fine and enjoy the new ones. I don't really have a problem with the "150 only" people, I enjoyed the first generation. But I just think they're missing out by not playing the newer ones, considering how much the games have evolved.

Ehh, Emboar and Samurott are cool (Serperior doesn't exist to me) but I'd argue about that. I think Venasaur, Charizard, and Blastoise are pretty awesome, too.
 
I grew up with Generation 1....guess what? It isn't my favorite gen! o.o 3rd gen is. I dislike second gen the most >.> but I definatley don't hate it.

I don't usually see them, but they are annoying when you do find them. Just ignore them :3
