Nostalgia is making you think all other Pokemon aren't just as ugly and retarded in all seriousness.

I don't buy it. Those new 3 have nothing on Charmander/Squirtle/Bulbasaur... just look at them. Put them side by side.

Personally I haven't found any of the games after Red/Blue to be very engaging. I played Red/Blue a TON, to the point that I'm surprised the battery in the Red (I played Red more) cart didn't wear out. But all the ones after Red/Blue just seem to be imitations, as well-made as they may be. It's like the creators just said, "You liked 150 Pokemon? Now try and catch 300! Oh you liked catching 300 Pokemon? Now try catching 500!" Except that the number of Pokemon seems to be the ONLY real difference between all the games, and the quality of the Pokemon has degraded with each release.

Maybe this is just me, but it seemed like each Pokemon in Red/Blue had 'personality' if you can call it that. Though I do think the designs of the Pokemon in Red/Blue were more visually appealing, that isn't what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is, it seemed that most of the moves each Pokemon had were unique to that Pokemon. Sure there were some like Leer and Tail Whip that were shared by many, but unique move sets seemed to give each Pokemon a purpose. In the later ones, it seems that Pokemon share more and more moves. Maybe I just didn't get into the later ones enough, I don't know. Part of me thinks that this is just nostalgia, but honestly, if the newer games were a great as the first ones, I think I'd enjoy them a lot more than I have.

The starters are starting to look really really bad now...=/ I wonder what the final evolutions look like. First generation starters were the most badass and then they starting falling apart. T_T

also it never made sense to me why time seems to go backwards after i beat the elite 4 and champion. i think it would be much more interesting if you became the champion, still got to run around and do stuff, and you'd get a phone call saying "a new challenger would like to challenge you for the tile of champion" you go and battle him (this process would get progressively harder) and if you lose then you have to battle this guy the next time you run through elite 4. makes much more sense PLUS it would be great because eventually it would be lvl100 pokebattles which is not as lame as your lvl 100 mewtwo owning up some lvl 60 dragonite.

Well the Elite Four has been changed so that once you beat it they all become much harder and the highest level is 78 in Platinum. Then after you beat them so many times your rival becomes even stronger than the league champion. A similar thing is done in HG/SS expect instead of your rival it's Red, character Ash is based off of.Personally I think your idea would be great and I've thought of it too, but it would be odd. In order to train pokemon you would need to wait for a challenger or beat the Elite Four when you're already the champion.

Though if you want challenge after the Elite Four that was addressed with the Battle Frontier in Emerald and all subsequent versions. The Battle Frontier which is a bunch of facilities with various pokemon battle challenges, an endurance/adventure/management with Pyramid/Castle (depending on version), Battle Factory where you pick from a random draft of pokemon, straight up battles and some other weird ones which are hard to describe due to various versions. They're all about getting a high win streak and eventually you face boss trainers called Frontier Brains, some of the facilities also have a 2vs2 option. The facilities match your pokemon levels so you can't abuse your level 100 mewtwo vs a dragonite. Actually Mewtwo is a banned pokemon in the Battle Frontier, about 1/2 of the legendary Pokemon are banned.
