POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[Tellis]

It's not that you can't have opinions, it's just you keep claiming parts of your opinions as objective fact when Gen 1 has been shown to suffer from the same problems as the later ones, as well as later Gens also carrying many of the strengths that Gen 1 had.

If you were to chalk it up to the fact that preference over Pokemon designs is an almost entirely subjective matter, instead of relying on arguments that simply don't hold up on their own, then I think we'd be a bit more okay here. I, for example, disagree greatly with people who think Gen III had crappy designs but I can see why they'd prefer other designs, and I can accept that there's people who don't think Tropius is rad as hell.

Admittedly, RokuGurin didn't exactly handle that as gracefully as he/she could have, but no one's attacking you for your opinions. They just disagree and feel that the way you're defending them is a bit... misguided.
