We all know the stereotype of "genwunners" - Pokémon fans who only acknowledge the original 151 and hate anything that came afterwards. However, these people are usually stereotyped as "normies" and "dudebros", who, apart from their tastes in Pokémon, aren't usually laughably strange enough to be covered here, and it is indeed true that Gen I is the most marketable and profitable set of Pokémon.

Every generation other than Kanto, on the other hand, has a legion of elitist hipsters who bend logic and everything else to justify why their preferred generation isn't the absolute most famous or most mainstream.

By far the worst in this respect are "Unovabortions", fans who worship Gen V (Pokémon Black and White), and bash anything genwun-related while making ridiculous and counter-intuitive claims about why their generation deserves to be Game Freak's lovechild and why they, the special snowflakes, need to be catered to instead of the people who ACTUALLY give the franchise money. They were a real force to be reckoned with in Summer 2016, and I (or anyone with time) could probably look at a 4chan archive to dig up some of their ridiculous posts.

Discuss any findings on this topic here! I'll be updating this OP over time if the thread takes off (and is actually worthy of the Farms).
