Hold tight, motherfuckers, cause we’re going on a rant!Serious question time.
Behold! a Genwunner conversing in it’s native tongue of “Bullshitese”
Luckily, I am fluent in this particular dialect of English, so I can understand it just fine. (And so can you)
Why dost thou exist, genwunner?
I’ve never understood how anyone can stand there, point at the whole of generation 1, and claim that those 151 Pokemon were better and more original/creative than ANYTHING that came after.
Most commonly, when asked why they think this, they will almost always point out specific pokemon. It’s always the same pokemon, and they’re always from the most recent generation (in this case, gen 5)
This pokemon is based on a fucking BALL. Argument invalid
Pokemon based on Eggs. Argument invalid
Sludge. Argument invalid.
So once they run out of specific pokemon to rant about, they will start ranting about pokemon concepts in general, and how today they suck
ARGUMENT. INVALID.
So, obviously, Genwunners are people who are around our age. People who were actually around to play generation one back in the glory days of the 90’s.
they’ll often claim the above. that Gen 1 was their “Childhood” and that the new pokemon somehow ruin it. Tis not but another invalid argument.
I’ve got bad news for you. if you’re the age of most genwunners (early 20’s I imagine) then your childhood is OVER. IT CAN’T BE RUINED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST. You are in your 20’s, you are not a child, and there for are no longer in childhood. your childhood can’t be ruined because it’s already over. Get it?
The “It’s my childhood” argument is invalid.
Besides, it’s not like you can’t go back and just play generation 1 for the rest of your life. but you might want to read this
- Critical hits were based off speed.
- You had to save the game just to switch boxes
- Once a box was full, you had to go and switch it, otherwise you’d get “the PC box is full!” message when you tried to capture a pokemon.
- Waking up from sleep costed you a turn, meaning if your opponent was faster than you, it could put you right back to sleep before you could do anything.
- Blizzard had 90% accuracy
Enjoy your broken game, tiny overall move pool, and slim selection of Pokemon.
Ah, the final desperate bid by the Genwunner. “It’s my opinion.”
“it’s my opinion”
Oh, am I expected to stand in awe as the sudden realization that this is your opinion hits me like a sack of taytos?
saying “it’s my opinion” is a way to escape an argument that you have lost. it’s a final desperate scape goat that everyone seems to have up their sleeves these days.
I don’t care if it’s your opinion.
your opinion doesn’t suddenly make you right. it isn’t this magic fucking shield of ignorance that protects you from the facts, and renders invalid everything you disagree with.
You know what else is an opinion?
“God hates fags”
and just like that opinion, YOUR OPINION IS WRONG.
Now, if you’re a genwunner and you’re reading this, you might want to sit down, because what I’m about to say is gonna blow your fucking mind out the top of your head.
No generation is “the best”
It’s perfectly okay to have a favorite generation, but that doesn’t mean you have to shit on all the other ones.
Every generation has amazing Pokemon, and every generation has it’s duds.
All pokemon generations are equal, and pokemon designs and concepts have only become more creative as they years have gone by. they will continue to do so.
If gamefreak was running out of ideas, then why are they still making Pokemon? why is it, that every few years, 100 or so new pokemon suddenly appear. surely it can’t be gamefreak’s doing, because they’re out of ideas!
