Now before I start let me say one thing, I'm not saying that Gen 1 was the worst gen. I'm saying that if it wasn't the first, everybody would hate the pokemon. I expect a lot of hate when i finish. Lets get started.
Grimer and Muk
A lot of people hated Trubbish because he was garbage. But he wasn't the first garbage pokemon, Grimer and Muk were. But you don't hate them. Why? Because they're from Gen 1. They took what Muk really was, muck, and just took out a letter. Garbodor at least looks different than Trubbish, but with Grimer and Muk, it's just a blob with arms involving into a bigger blob with arms.
Voltorb and Electrode
I don't have to explain this do I? I will, for the people who haven't seen Voltorb/Electrode. Voltorb is a pokeball with eyes. That's it. What does it evolve into? Electrode, an upside down pokeball with eyes. What does it do? Kills itself by blowing up. Umm, ok
Exeggute and Exeggutor
Exeggute are (or is, I can't tell?) eggs. Or are they? Here are some of their pokedex entries:
Red
Blue
It is often mistaken for eggs. When disturbed, they gather quickly and attack in swarms.
Emerald
It consists of six eggs that care for each other. The eggs attract each other and spin around. When cracks increasingly appear, it is close to evolution.
LeafGreen
It is often mistaken for eggs. When disturbed, they gather quickly and attack in swarms.
Black
White
Its six eggs converse using telepathy. They can quickly gather if they become separated.
Which one is it? Lets say its eggs, since eggs is in its name, what does it evolve into? A coconut tree! That makes sense. (Yes I'm fully aware of Remoraid and Octillerry.
Diglett and Dugtrio
Diglett evolves into three of itself. Very creative, GF. Also, how does Diglett and Dugtrio battle in water? It shows them on the surface of the water, how does that make sense?
Magnemite and Magnetron
Same deal as Diglett, Magnemite evolves into three of itself. 'Nuf said
Dragonair and Dragonite
A blue serpent evolving into an orange derpy dragon? Makes sense
Geodude
A rock with arms. Again, most creative GF.
Mankey and Primape
My problem with these guys is that all Mankey evolves into is itself, just with wristbands on its arm and legs.
Cubone and Marowak
Same deal as Mankey, Cubone evolves into itself with a skull that covers its eyes.
Well, that's it. And remember, I'm not saying that Gen 1 was the worst Gen. I'm saying that if Gen 1 wasn't the first, you would hate a lot of its pokemon. I also don't hate Gen 1 myself, I loved playing through Blue and Red and Yellow as a kid.
