Ah, that all makes sense. I mostly agree about the Pokemon as well. Kinda cool to hear from someone else who has a dislike of some of the later Pokemon, lol. My favorite Generations are Gen 1 and Gen 3. I thought Gen 1 had better design in general, even though they were too simple and contain only a few of my favorites (mainly Scyther, Golem, Haunter, and Hypno). Gen 2, 4, and 5 all have a LOT of Pokemon that are overly wacky or unrealistic, completely draining away the pseudo-believability of Gen 1's designs, and as a result a lot of the quality as I see it. Though I do have more favorite Pokemon in those generations. Lol. Gen 3 balanced things pretty well though, and has the most of my favorites. :3
And yeah, we've talked about that before, lol. I remember you agreeing with Josh about Brawl vs. Melee. Are you looking forward to the new Smash Bros. game on the WiiU and 3DS?
