Admittedly I like *just* Charmander more than Torchic, but I prefer Blaziken to anything in the Charmander family.

How are you a weeb, then?

It's babies first anime

Babies grow up eventually.

I was a huge weeb for a few years, and I never played anything other than Pokemon Blue or watched more than 2 or 3 episodes of the show, because by the point it came out I was already watching stuff like Fist of the North Star, Record of Lodoss War, Urusei Yatsura, Fushigi Yugi, etc.

Though honestly, based on what I've seen from younger weebs today, I'd argue Dragon Ball Z is more baby's first anime. Or maybe Naruto.

Pokemon is more kid friendly than dbz or naruto. If it's after your time then I guess you wouldn't have enjoyed it.

The games are surprisingly complex if you battle with other people

No. Youd want everything there plus new ones, with balance.

Yeah, but your handle isn't weeb.

The "everything plus new stuff" design philosophy seems nice on paper, but in practice, that's somewhere on the order of 1000 Pokemon to try balancing. The series already has major issues with 90% of Pokemon being useless, and that list only grows with each new generation. I'm okay with the idea of having fewer, better-balanced Pokemon.

That's meta though.
That's a whole different world than playing for fun. In any game there will be a handful of guys that a by far better than the rest.
To curb that only make a few pokemon from each gen meta worthy and the rest serviceable with optimal investments.

Or, you know, don't make more fucking pokemon if you yourself can keep up.

Given the nature of Pokemon, I wouldn't consider it a path to weebdom. Unlike other anime, it doesn't really lead to anything; it's kinda like Speed Racer in that regard, since that also had a fandom that didn't create a deeper interest in the genre.

1st time playing gen 3 i picked torchic despite it's design because i like fire types.... was very disappointed.

though if you just compare 1st forms, i guess a chicken is better than a monkey with a turd on its head...
