HeavyMetalLover91 said: Lucario is easily in my top 3 Pokemon of all time. But isn't it a little sad that the only reference outside of Gen 1 in that ad is a fleeting appearance from the most popular Pokemon that wasn't in Gen 1 (and in his mega form for what it's worth).



Pichu, Lugia, anything from ORAS - the most recent games I might add, where's all the easter eggs for that stuff? Click to expand...

Well all anniversaries are supposed to bank on nostalgia. Look at the 30th anniversary logo for Mario.Or even the 25th anniversary logo.They both use SMB1 aesthetics. There not ignoring the other Mario games or saying that they are inferior, but they are making a callback to the original game because it's the one that started it all and it's nostalgic to look back on how far the series has come in the past few decades. The Pokemon 20th anniversary is all about nostalgia, specifically for generation one, so of course they would heavily feature it. But that's not to say there won't be stuff for long time fans. I mean Pokemon Z is probably coming this year and who else knows what.
