Pokemon General [SFW, No NSFW]

Is this a Pokemon thread or a fuckin’ debating thread?!

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear
 
Seriously, I don’t even go for the full National Dex in most games. It sucks, but it’s not a dealbreaker in the slightest.

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear  
Dude, transferring pokemon up is cheap. I think you’re too focus on underplaying this that you’re being an asshole to those that are being affected by it. Seriously, it’s like saying that measles don’t exist to someone suffering from it because you were vaccinated to prevent getting it.

@Jarkes  
I’m asking you to specify and explain your feelings, damnit. I’m assuming because you’re not telling me anything else. >:v
 
For the record, no, I am not excited or hyped for Sw/Sh, but I felt that since the beginning.
 
@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear  
You do know that you can have that opinion even with a full coded dexbase, right? That’s like saying “i don’t like contests so I’m GLAD they no longer exist because now I won’t be forced to do them even tho I wasnt in the first place!” great, cool, awesome, changes literally nothing for you then. I’m happy for you, truly I am.
 
So fuck everyone else then, eh?

@Jarkes  
I don’t complete it, but I do like transferring my teams past teams up, because that’s kind of part of the appeal of Pokemon to people like me.

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear  
You are free to leave at an time, or change the topic.

@Meanlucario
 
He keeps getting yelled at for daring to be positive, and yet HE’S the asshole?

@LightningBolt
 
I don’t know, things like someone literally making a list on Twitter labeled “Game Freak shills” or “Game Freak Defender Bingo”? Accusing people of “ruining the franchise” for being positive about things? Flooding Game Freak social media accounts with bitching about it? Those kinds of things?

Remind me what’s the slogan for this franchise again?

@Jarkes  
Okay? And? I’m sorry people like that exist, but it’s not fair to treat everyone on the ‘opposing’ side as like that? Cause I’m not. I don’t really care what you think or feel about the whole ordeal, I just wanted to know what it is, and while I’ll be a bit sad if you don’t care about it, it’s not my decision to tell you what to feel.
 
@Darth Prime  
Honestly I was hoping that damn slogan stayed dead as I hated it. Not for any particular reason other than “ugh it’s so stupid” along with the original dub anime theme because I hate things people love.

@Meanlucario  

 
Because you can totally trust Reddit to not cherrypick sources or not be a complete circlejerk. Oh, wait.

 

@Jarkes  
It’s ignorance, not positivity. Seriously, it’s GF giving us their sloppy seconds, and there’s a reason even their Japanese fanbase is pissed of, who are apparently usually quiet about changes. Seriously, I’m linking the link a third time, so please read it to understand the deeper reason for why people are pissed.  

@Jarkes  
Like what you’re doing?

@LightningBolt
 
My opinion on it is that it is absolutely a dumb decision and I’m disappointed by it, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me.
 
There, you happy?
 
And I haven’t once claimed that the whole opposing side is like that.

@Jarkes  
yes. That’s all I wanted to know D;

Like, even Shofu was calling out the people who were being overly-negative about it, and he was quite vocal about his criticism on the matter too.

I’M NOT TRYING TO BE AN ASSHOLE HERE ;-;
 
_{I just wished everyone would chill plz chill…}

@Jarkes  
Yes, there are those over reacting, but that doesn’t excuse you or Takengrin underplaying it or ignoring the reasons it pisses people off, like them not being allowed to transfer past teams in a series that focus on nostalgia and memories to GF and Nintendo not caring about the series other than making money, and being too cheap to hire more workers for their cash-cow while their A-team works on a completely new IP.

^

Look, here, this’ll bring a good mood to everyone! :3  
 
_{plz forgive meh… ;-;}

@Meanlucario  
yeah, pretty much. it’s not fair to treat and act like everyone mad is just an asshole or a jerk and that you need to be nice and happy and positive. You can love a series and still get upset at bad ideas.
 
I mean I’ve loved Pokemon since before Takengrin was born, and I’m not blindlessly praising it and happy. I critique what I love because I love it. I’m not here to say “wow Sw/Sh sure is shit!” because I want to be genuinely happy, but beyond Wooloo and Corviknight, nothing has made me all too happy so far.

@LightningBolt  
Welcome to where I’ve been with Star Wars for the last couple years.

@LightningBolt  
I myself was excited for SnS until I realized what was being taken away, and now I’m on the fence about pre-ordering it.

_plz..
