User blog:MrAwesome300/OFF TOPIC: Why I'm A Genwunner

Hey, this is an off topic blog, but I want to make something clear that isn't very important, but still kinda good to know. I'm a Pokemon fan, but also a genwunner. If you're unfamiliar with genwunners, they are Pokemon fans who only enjoy the first generation (1995-1999) and treat any other generation as complete trash. That is me.

Most genwunners get much hate, just like bronies, for being "overdramatic" and "trouble starting". Genwunners can even be a stereotype to some meme makers, making all genwunners as complete drama queens.

The reason why I'm a genwunner is for a few reasons. The first is for nostalgia. My first Pokemon game I ever owned was Pokemon LeafGreen, but I didn't play that one much before I got Pokemon Blue and watched the Kanto episodes of the show. I thought the first generation had the coolest Pokemon and the others started to run out of ideas and create big metal monsters like Dialga and Palkia instead of their roots of making them out of animal likenesses.

The second is just what I said in the last sentence: Nintendo is running out of ideas, just like any TV show or game, to make their characters out of. Pikachu was the first thing kids thought of when Pokemon was referred to, now it's some big metallic monster like Dialga or Arceus. Some kids probably don't even know what a Mewtwo or a Onix is.



People will probably think genwunners are indeed drama queens because it's just a video game, and I realize that. I don't live and breath Pokemon like most genwunners, but if somebody gets worked up and goes "I just caught a lvl 23 Arceus" or

"Ermahgerd I just used a potion on my Croagunk and won the battle against some Team Plasma guy"....I can get easily confused and upset.

Speaking of Team Plasma, whatever happened to Team Rocket? Were they not good enough? What happened to Meowth? What happened to Brock or Misty? Even Brock is gone and they replaced him with some green haired jackass.

I can't get into Pokemon's new age anymore because of all the new half-assed Pokemon creations and lack of ideas. I know they would never end the series after the Kanto age because video games never end after a good strive. It's all about the money, really, and Nintendo could care less about what some drama queens like genwunners could think.

This was just a little note on why I'm a genwunner. I know none of you will agree with me and people will find this blog to be possibly controversial. Hopefully my fellow Pokemaniacs will get my message. Long live Kanto!
