>inb4 they place a ban on everything but gen 1 mons

>>27718951
More people know gen 1 designs, they are more iconic. This is not pandering, it's not being stupid. Only a few really popular designs from later gens, such as the RSE starters, Togepi, Marill, Pichu, ect tend to be featured in a lot of generic 'pokemon' branded apparel.

For example if you look at the merch for XY a lot of it had the original starters with the new ones on it, it's largely because they know that the people who played pokemon when they were kids aren't going to recognize Chespin or Fennekin as a pokemon when they're buying a backpack for their kid.

>20th anniversary of the series
>STOP PANDERING TO THE TIME WE WERE EVER INTRODUCED TO THIS FRANCHISE!

I know Gen 6's pandering was completely unnecessary, excessive, and retarded. But at least this time it makes sense

Gen 1 is the only viable generation and Nintendo/Gamefreak/Pokemon Company recognize that, you little kids shouldn't even be here, this is an 18+ website.

>this shit again

>This is not pandering, it's not being stupid.
What do you think pandering is? You think they do so for shits and giggles?

>featured in a lot of generic 'pokemon' branded apparel.
Which this isnt since it's the championship, it's for pokemon fans, and they featured other gen mons on other advertisements.


>>27719161
If it makes sense now they shouldnt have done that in a gen that's not even over.

I just wish Gamefreak would get a bit of self awareness and realize why gen 1 is so popular.

>>27718951
Why pander to themselve

>>27719129
This.

As a Business it's the logical thing to do.
i dont get why people dont see this and get so butthurt about it.

>>27719372
Do you work for GameFreak anon?

>Waaaaah muh furfag waifu fox isn't as iconic as Squirtle! ITS KNOT FAIR

Gen 1 pokemon are the most known/popular i wouldn't blame them when it comes to advertising a huge event.

>implying its not the most popular gen
>implying it will stop being it

>>27719429
At least you don't even pretend to have a point.

>Zelda games are pandering to the original NES title by having Link, Zelda, and Ganon in them, but never repeating characters like Midna or Fi

>2014 was Mega Charizards to promote a popular Pokemon's new look in XY
>2015 was Hoenn Pokemon to promote the ORAS products
>2016 are iconic original Pokemon to promote the anniversary

Woah, impossible.

>>27719625
It's different. It's not like they are branching out to places they aren't supposed to be...

> Mewtwo in Kalos
> Legendary Birds in Kalos
> Kanto Starters given out at the start in Kalos
> Huge amount of Kanto Pokemon being in Kalos Pokedex.

>>27719812

Midna and Fi wouldn't be, it's all in Hyrule.

>2016 is Pokemon's 20th anniversary
>Pokemon R/B/Y were rereleased on the Virtual Console on 2016
>Pokemon GO which only has Kanto mons was released on 2016
>Implying this is was not intentional to happen

>>27718951
Does it matter?

>>27719129
People say this and it makes sense but I wonder. For example, I see kid's backpacks with Pokemon. But it has the kanto starters. Are kids really that familiar with the kanto starters? I mean, I know you got them in XY but still. It seems weird to think of it.

>Waaah!! fuckin genwunners!!! I hate u!
