i really liked marenie/toxapex ... gen II people you just can't trust cos they're weirdoes. who the hell actually likes gen II. gen II did have steelix and scizor and also the creepy unown radio channel tho which i rlly liked. they never developed on unown like ever.
If this was true, then couldn't they just use the snes? Those were still around at the time, weren't they? And they had better graphics and sound!
To simplify what i think sapphirerobin was saying, when you have two different things, people are going to prefer one over the other, and gen 1's designs are definitely different from a lot of the later ones. Sure, nostalgia is probably the main reason people prefer gen 1, but its likely that there are people who genuinely just prefer its sense of style.
The style of Gen 1 is overall not too different from Gen 2, and Gen 3 blends in but it uses much more complex concepts for its Pokemon.
gen III people are pretentious self-important melodramatics who took the pokemon mystery dungeon "you're the SPECIAL UNIQUE CHOSEN GIFTED ONE" thing a little too literally
DONT LET THE PEOPLE ON STAGE LEFT KNOW THE SCRIPT
I've yet to hear from those people. Nostalgia is indeed pretty strong though and not many people will comment on it beyond "it was a simpler time." The style of Gen 1 is overall not too different from Gen 2, and Gen 3 blends in but it uses much more complex concepts for its Pokemon.
This is a good point actually - and I think the people who exclusively like gen 1 are almost always just nostalgic, as as you point out there's not a huge difference between 1, 2 & 3, certainly not to the extent you can massively prefer one over another (short of nostalgia or /possibly/ if you like really love 6-7 Pokémon from one which is what makes it your favourite I guess?), but certainly in my experience the people that prefer gen 1 but still like other gens (maybe not all other gens - I think almost everyone has an off-gen) tend to be less nostalgic and more on the design route.
