Real talk tho, pokemon games have always been a good 7 years behind the times. The fact they have the staying power they do is a travesty

A game being buggy has nothing to do with whether it's a game of it's time or not.
@Ace66062 @alyx Not even, there’s a mountain of them in regular gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07yzTiND30U

>games of their time
Dragon Quest V and SMT1 both came out in 92.
SaGa 1-3 were already out for 5 years before Red and Blue.
Story of Seasons came out the same year and its GB port a year later.
Breath of Fire and Suikoden and Chrono Trigger were the state of the art.
RPGs had moved way past Pokemon in 1996, even moreso in 98 when US audiences got it. It becoming a fad stalled the genre as everyone rushed to copy it. The series has significantly damaged all subsequent JRPGs

@alyx No they’re not. First and second gen are some of the buggiest games on their respective systems. It’s almost impossible to do a playthrough of the games without encountering some sort of bug
