>>46493932>Why are the fanbases for these games in particularly so obnoxiously defensive?Better question: Why are the hatemobs for these games so particularly obnoxious about hating them and it's fans? It's just a fucking video game and they're not particularly special from any first version Pokemon game. If you want to criticize it, that's fine but shit like "Imagine liking Gen 5, haha!" or "Seethe, Hoennbabies!!!" is not actual criticism. Also, trying to debate on subjective topics is bound to burst in flamewars.
