maybe its the presentation like i said and also that ive muted the game and turned off battle animations so it goes faster but man. im coming to the brutal realization that my kanto issues probably dont stem from gen 1 as much as they do with pokemon yellow

#like. i LIKE pokemon yellows concept. i adored its manga adaptation in spe and i love pikachu and walking with pikachu #and i love the anime and all its references #but like. theres SO much charm that gets lost in that transition #i already said so with the sprites and all but pokemon yellow feels less like a game made out of love #and more like a product. yknow? i mean they all are but yellow just feels off in co #comparison to what im playing now #and its in little ways like all the antagonistic pokemon in the anime being unavailable and the really bad anime sound effects #like i didnt know the original pewter city did have a singing jigglypuff using the original soundfont #i thought it was a hasty anime reference made to justify the games existence. but now i know the anime jigglypuffs a nice homage to this one #and like that little jingle was infinitely nicer than the bitcrushed anime voice #i mean some if it is nice like team rocket being there but even they feel misunderstood sometimes #like theyre just smacked in sometimes and they just spout their motto #they dont do any of their jokes and meowth doesnt even talk. does meowth talk in lgpe? i dunno #but i do know that they dont even get their teams right. what is with nostalgiabait rocket references #that dont even bother to include any pokemon they had besides arbok and weezing. they have other pokemon!#in gen 1 alone you have victreebel and lickitung! maybe even growlithe if you wanna get fancy #ntm wobbuffet is constantly abandoned #ik ive said i dont like team rocket cause i got so burnt out on them in the show but like it stings more to see them and they arent even #arent even authentic. just their likeness slapped onto an npc to go ‘’wow remember the pokemon animes first season! that was nice!’’#(the pokemon they get replaced with arent even nice when they gotta do that. i love scyther but jessie wouldnt own a scyther)#she would sooner freak out at a scyther or turn it in to giovanni before actually using one #echoed voice
