Why is this entire franchise built on Gen 1?
Gen 1: Let's go to Kanto!
Gen 2: Let's revisit Kanto!
Gen 3: Let's remake Kanto!
Gen 4: Let's revisit Kanto in the remake!
Gen 5: Let's base the pokedex on Gen 1!
Gen 6: Let's give megas to a shit ton of Gen 1 mons while forgetting everything else!
Gen 7: KANTO THIS KANTO THAT also only Gen 1 mons get alolan forms!
Why is this allowed?

Captalism and brand recognition

Are you implying pandering to Gen1 is somehow a bad thing?
The same reason every other long-running video game series constantly drops references to its first entries.
because the franchise started with kanto
Also by your logic Platinum would end up being the best Pokémon game so you're ok with me

Yeah, that's why we are still buying their shit.

Capitalism is the only reason you got gens 3-7 in the first place.
