Does anyone get second hand embarrassment watching GameFreak

Nope

I don't think anyone that's been part of the fanbase since at least gen 4 would.

If the first Pokémon game I played was Gold, but it was actually around the time DP was new, where does that put me? I technically joined the fanbase after Gen 4 existed, but I didn't start with Gen 4.

It's been like that for 20 years. Add to that the very concept of dual versions with minor differences and it turns out that the Pokemon series is a very strange breed of games. It kind of killed the genre of monster collecting and raising, since everyone wanted to be like Pokemon.

I get first hand embarrassment being on this board
