>>48429907You are dealing with people whose whole identity is liking Pokémon.
They play Pokémon AND ONLY Pokémon for hours on end. They spend their lives shiny """hunting""" and breeding competitive Pokémon while you move on a couple of hours after beating the games.
They watch and read Pokémon religiously, be it the anime, movies or mangas.
The few hours they aren't spending with their hands on Pokémon, they are watching "Pokétubers" just reading to them shit straight from Bulbapedia that they already know, but like to listen because it validates their obsession.
Outside of it they are talking about Pokémon, discussing the same shit over and over and over and seethe when someone who isn't completely blinded by loyalism to their brand, their religion, barges in.
You can't even launch a new monster game without it being immediately attacked by "LMAO POKÉMON RIP-OFF" comments.
Have you seen how much Pokémon cards cost lately? They are being scalped for 11 months now and keep raking money for the scalpers because Pokémon fans KEEP BUYING them. They literally can't live without it.
