I think the people saying the first gens were better are just suffering from "Good 'Ol Days" Syndrome (note: not an actual syndrome. I don't want a five paragraph lecture on how you suffered syndromes as a kid.), because face it, things will always seem better ten years ago or when you were a kid.
And on Gamefreak getting lazy, it's just a question of getting the most profit out of the least effort, which is what we all strive for anyway. As spriters, we reuse sprites in animations whenever possible, and as programmers, copy-paste the code where needed. Why exert more effort if a minimal amount of effort brings you big bucks?
Well, it looks like I was just repeating what everyone was saying, so ngieughhh
