>>43461713a good chunk of shills don't play any other game or have any other activities besides pokemon. pokemon defines their personality and their way of life, and by insulting the only thing that matters to them, you're insulting their entire life. the franchise is slowly dying but shills don't want to admit it, they don't want to move on, they keep telling themselves "maybe the next game will be a smash hit" and it never comes. they're just stuck in the perpetual loop of "next game will be better".
