>>51223519I agree, especially gen 6 and onward, everyone treats you like a literal fucking god after you defeat a bad guy with the likes of a ratatta.
>>51223592>>51223757I would argue it's significantly worse in Pokemon. The gratification itself is not an issue, but the way it's earned. The games are mostly a cakewalk for anyone over the age of 14. If I get through the first four gyms without blacking out and with minimal effort, it's absurd every npc is sucking my dick. I don't feel like I earned the respect and gratification and therefore it becomes a nuisance. If I'm going to be treated like a literal god, then the game play should be cock and ball torture level of difficulty.
