There has been much talk about which of these two Generations is superior, creating a rift between the users here. I have decided to step in, and lay out the facts for all to see.
Gen 1:
-Brought the entire series into existence. Established several game mechanics that are still a major part of the games today.
-Has memorable, likeable Pokemon designs which are recognisable to casual, and even non-fans of the series, such as Pikachu, Charizard, Snorlax and Squirtle.
-Contains minimal story, allowing it to have a simple, timeless appeal, and allows all different kinds of people to enjoy it.
Those who just want to play the game for its gameplay can make their way through it unopposed and unhindered.
Those who want a richer story experience can go out of their way to talk to NPCs or read diaries, expanding on the world's lore. They can also use their imaginations to flesh out the world too.
Gen 5
-Attempted to reboot the series, but failed miserably. Actually introduced the least game mechanics of any generation, with only Hidden Abilities and a few significant items being additions.
-Has horrible, unlikeable Pokemon designs which caused major outrage, due to essentially being inferior clones of the Gen 1 Pokemon, and Game Freak trying to replace the originals with them.
Black and White 2 quickly backpedaling on this change, and reintroducing the originals proves this idea was a failure and universally disliked.
Additionally, Gen 5 Pokemon are only recognisable and appealing to a small, niche clique of hardcore fans. While this outlier group will claim that Pokemon such as Volcarona are the pinnacle of design, you will be hard pressed to find a single casual or non-fan who could tell you what a Reshiram or a Conkeldurr is.
-Forces cringeworthy, poorly-aging melodrama down the player's throats. The large amounts of unskippable text that appear in these games make them unappealing to those who just want to enjoy the games for their gameplay, and make them too convoluted to be truly memorable.
