Yeah, I figured this was a positive thing and then I see people hating it in this thread. Keep garbage like plusle and minon out of this.

The original 151 are the most well known and widely loved Pokémon. Of course they started with them. It would be stupid to start with any other subset.
And the key word is start. Obviously more will come, probably by launch even. Chill out people.

Well, no Milotics or Empoleons at the start for me.
However that does mean I go back to my original favorite Vaporeon!
The fact they have dark type implemented obviously means they're adding more mons. Gen 1 had no dark types.

I just wanna test if I can find one in the glades.

It's really not any more impossible than it was back then.
Modern day gaming has made me too jaded to believe that there will be more Pokemon at launch. I'd love to be wrong though.

I came into this thread thinking that everyone would be ecstatic that only Gen 1 is in there. That is plenty of content to start out with and Gen 1 contains most of the most recognizable Pokemon.

Only gen 1 makes sense. They need content for updates that will keep people engaged.
Player X has finally captured all his favorites from gen 1 and now that he is done evolving them he is starting to play less...... oh but look the game got updated with gen 2 so it's time to go back and play again. Oh and the update has landed the game on the front page of all big gaming sites....for free.

It's actually far easier than it used to be to catch 'em all. Breeding + GTS + generally increased variety of wild Pokémon help a lot.

Nope. I'm excited!
Definitely fine with this. I'm more worried about IAP. Hopefully they are as generous as Nintendo w/ DLC stuff
It should be obvious at this point these are going to be the only available Pokemon in the first few months depending on how long it takes them to update. I wouldn't be surprised if they're only starting out with like 30 Pokemon which means it's going to take an eternity to get to later gens if they're planning on adding them slowly.
I want Talonflame not crappy ass Fearow.

If Pokeballs are scarce and I wind up having to purchase them with IAPs to really even play this game properly
I will not play this game

Nice, always liked the cries more than the idea of them being voiced.
Yeah they have stupid things liek inanimate objects, piles of goo, animals with almost no changes, and weird Digimon looking things... Wait a second...

The people who actually want stuff to be Gen I only are a vocal minority. The opinion isn't actually that common in the general fanbase, and is largely held by people who stopped playing long ago.

I hope not! To be clear, my problem here isn't that there is only 151 Pokemon, it's that it's the original 151.
I expect them to update the game over time, especially before launch, but still.

If that's truly the case, then I'll jump on the game once the Gen IV patch hits.
Don't fret. Dark type is in and as far as I know there is not Dark type in Gen 1.
Be happy.

I understand why it's Gen 1 only at this point, I just hope for launch they at least include some select Pokemon from other gens. (Like starters & legendaries if legendaries aren't just event type deals.)
I'm more upset that I didn't get in the field test. (They can ignore the fact that I don't live in Japan, like I can ignore the fact that I couldn't do anything because of that fact.)

Can’t stump the diablos
I'm happy about Gen 1 only.
Weird to see the negativity here about it though I guess most here are young enough that their first entry to the series was later gens.

Oh, I'm not saying that I expected this to be it, I'm just saying I'm disappointed that it's launching like this. Obviously more would follow, especially given the amount of Gen 1 Pokemon with later evolutions.
I started with Red/Blue/Yellow
Gen1-only means I likely won't play this game too long at launch. I've seen those Pokémon waay too many times. Nostalgia is gone now and Gen1 and 2 are my least favorite (despite spending most of my childhood playing Crystal)

Only the original 151 unfortunately?
Unfortunately?
That's a fucking blessing in disguise! Could you imagine having to deal with nearly 800 monsters out in the field, a majority of which you'll never catch? And are mostly filler anyway? Not even Nintendo can cram in that many in their own side releases. People wanting all of the Pokemon, even half are being deluded. It would be a logistical nightmare.

Because all Pokemon spinoffs mix things up from all gens instead of only starting out with Pokemon from the same one.
This. No way a free mobile game would ship with all Pokemon, not sure why anyone with any knowledge of mobile games would expect that. They need to hold back stuff to update the app over time.
Makes sense they start with gen 1. I don't want some random fucking assortment from each gen every major update.
Just relax guys. Lol...also understand the majority of mainstream users will recognize gen 1. Pretty much if pikachu, bulbasaur to blastoise, and mewtwo aren't available this thing is DOA

Most games (both spin-offs and mainline) start with a mix of both new and old Pokémon. That would've been good to me
You still won't be catching most of the Pokemon if you don;t live in the right place or have some deep pockets. There's a ton of filler in the gen 1 dex too ya know.
So which team are ya gonna pick?
