Cynical? Not hardly. I'd contend that we see more of the opposite a lot more often. People here are a bit too into Pokemon and take it too seriously.
I've seen more people on this board exhibit "drone" behavior more than anything else here. A whole lot of "I'm/You're going to buy it anyways" and villification of people that might not like the current state of the franchise. The anti-Genwunner sentiment has gotten so bad that one cannot say anything negative about new things without being dismissed or flat out denigrated for their own preferences.
People here also seem to have a tendency to believe that their preference = fact. Only other board I've seen that has this problem in this magnitude is /a/. It's cartoon monsters, people. Chill the fuck out.
Posing my favorites as proof I'm not biased.
