>>27244725>And its introducing more people to the great franchise we all love, how could that be bad?Because most of these people aren't being "introduced", these are people who abandoned the franchise in the first place once they outgrew it, and are only playing now because it's trendy, and on a phone. These people wouldn't be caught dead playing an actual Pokemon game on a 3DS.
All this trend has spawned is cringe-worthy faux-fanaticism. Watch, the moment the drop Gen 3 Pokemon, if not Gen 2 Pokemon, everyone who is 'having such a great time' now will uninstall the game in disgust, because it no longer panders to their nostalgia.
