Can't we just attribute it to having a bad memory? I remember spending hours hatching the perfect Salamence and Metagross and customizing their movesets so they can cover their weaknesses. I think I picked the mudkip starter then, eventually evolved it to a swampert. That generation probably had the best set of starters after charmander and co. Second generation Blaziken and company were not impressive, statwise and design wise.. Anyway, i didnt know anyone my age then that was playing the game but it was enough for my nephews and nieces to have someone else to play with.
