If you have ever said anything to this effect, and I know you're out there, you're a moron, and I’m going to explain why.
Every time Pokémon comes up, be it at a video game store, or among friends, or on a forum, there is invariably someone who spouts the old "151 OG!" line, and it's time it stopped.
To you people out there who say things as stupid as this, I begin with a question: Why? Did Pokémon sell out with Chikorita? Is that where it went all corporate and started touring with poser bands? Lost its soul? Seriously. what?
oh wait no, i know the argument. "They ran out of ideas after the 151! there are so many lame filler pokemon in the new generations!"
let me tell you something about your precious original 151: Tauros. Eggsecute. Egsecutor. Clefable. Spearow. Fearow. Farfetch'd. Voltorb. Electrode. Jinx. Paras. Parasect. That’s just 11 Pokémon of some of the fucking stupidest, most ill-conceived, laziest creations to come out of the franchise, and they're in the 151. If you think Satoshi ran out of ideas AFTER the original series monsters, you're a pillock. Every generation has had some utterly dinky Pokémon, but every generation also has some seriously badass stuff, Gen 2 introduced Donphan, Feraligatr and Tyranitaur. in Gen 3 we got the infamous Mudkip, Sceptile, Agron, and motherfucking Exploud! the current generation (4) has brought Infernape, Garchomp, and my personal favorite pokemon, Luxray into the pantheon of badass pocket monsters.
If you don't actually like Pokémon, but you know it's trendy and you want to seem nerd-cool by saying things like "I still play my copy of Red on my gameboy!" then you deserve to have your dick ripped off by a Slakoth. There are perfectly good remakes of the original gameboy games available on the GBA. They’re better in every way, most notably the fact that half the sprites in the game don’t look like someone belched a stomach full of pixels onto a gameboy screen and called it Kangaskhan. The only reason someone reasonable would subject themselves to the original titles at this point, would be if they were too poor to afford any of the newer versions. If that's the case, you have my pity, but take your food stamps and shut the fuck up, because nobody cares what your broke ass thinks about the merits of Hoppip.
In summation, shut your stupid mouths. If somebody is talking about Pokémon, do not butt in with your obnoxious preaching of the evils that befall the children of Ampharos. We don't care. You are no better than the scenester scum who wear G.I Joe t-shirts that go perfectly with their thick rimmed glasses and complain about their lack of ReTweets, and like them, should die of some horrid disease and bother the rest of the world no more.
If you, in your heart of hearts, are truly of the mind that the first 151 Pokémon are the best and only Pokémon, then you still need to shut your fucking mouth, because nobody cares what you think. You’ve decided to not move on with the direction this franchise has taken, and that's your choice. Deal with the consequences of that: namely having to shut up.
