Actually the new pokemon own and the old ones are poo poo because of old bad mechanics. The newer pokemon are better design wise too since they don't have the limitation of the gameboy any more.

Take an exisiting animal/object - put eyes on it - anime it up - there, new pokemon.

Gen 1 and 2 has the best designs, after 3 it was "lets put eyes on things."

gen 1 had lots of really iconic pokemon though. All the starters evolved into kicking rad monsters unlike the modern gen starters which have all been really forgettable

You mean the starters that are all fat and pathetic versions of the middle evo?

Gen1 pokemon is bullshit because if you start with charizard the first gym leader is brock who uses only rock/ground types who take ¼ damage from fire. So you have to use non-STAB normal-type attacks but those only do ½ damage anyway, and that fucker spams harden then uses potions during a gym battle like a scumbag.

What's more every pokemon on the way to the first gym is a bug type, flying type, or pikachu all of which are weak against brock's rock/ground types. Everything just SUCKS. And then like half the game is Caves o' Geodude so really if you just picked a grass or water starter you could be rocking 4x effective attacks instead of needing to capture an abra and beating the whole game with only him because his attacks are effective against everything and he gets a lot of high PP psychic moves that you need for those long-rear end caves.

Ground doesn't resist fire and onix takes more damage from a fire move than most physical moves. Besides butterfly owns him.
