>>38980555We didn't ruin jack shit. Game Freak is doing this, and we're not rolling over and pretending we like it. It's not our fault, and you can't expect us to keep liking inherently shitty products because of the brand attached to them. You want to talk about Pokemon? You want to have comfy escapism? That's great! You can do both here. The old games still exist, and they always will. Better still, there are writefags, romhack makers, and a few rp threads every now and then. You can make a thread and discuss comfy pokemon shit. No one is stopping you, but you have to understand that just as you have a right to talk about comfy pokemon escapism, we have a right to be mad at corporate greed and laziness. I understand it's hard seeing this. Believe me, I do, but the first step to feeling better is accepting what's going on. Only then can you take steps to meaningfully cope in a constructive manner.
