>I hate the worst of the pre-3D gens
as everyone but zoomers does
>I hate the best of the 2D gens
you're in the minority

irrespectively

because Classic Pokemon means first 4 gens while Vintage/Retro Pokemon is the first duology

this is how the majority of the fanbase thinks of it

before zoomer borts grew up, johtods were the most zealous cheerleaders of their childhood gen out of everyone, and loudly proclaimed that it was a given that gsc or hgss were the best games of the whole series, and somehow nobody bothered to dispute them until like half a decade ago

now, everyone who isn't a clueless normalfag that's not tapped into contemporary discourse has been made well aware of just how many innumerable faults and flaws actually exist in the west kanto games, such that this fanbase on the whole agrees that it's hands-down the worst of the oldgens

>Likewise I wonder if they were in a better position in development when they teased new Pokemon subsequent generations
Masuda had to take over Gen II's development because Tajiri had a breakdown, and they ended up scrapping a lot of beta shit and virtually starting over. They were basically just in survival mode trying to cobble something together to ship. Then the very next gen they make what is now considered the best gen of all time.
