>>26810232If my contentions with the fanbase and with Game Freak’s feeding of it are not apparent enough as of now, I shall clarify it:
Even today, with as few sound designers who consider all the aspects of human nature to their creations, there is among the vast majority of video game buyers and players an insatiable thirst to obey, to find opinions ready-made, and to believe in some one or in some law. The way the name of science is invoked when a high authority is needed —the love of statistics and the meekness with which a company i.e. Game Freak grows silent when they are quoted; the fact that the most preposterous fashions are set in protagonists, in battle-design, and in music; the sheep-like way in which people will follow Game Freak, whether in the mainline video games, spinoffs, literature, or in anime, not to dilate upon the love of great names and the faith in the daily Press i.e. Kotaku, Polygon which nowadays, even prescribes schemes for college-commons conversation — all these things show what a vast amount of instinctive obedience still remains the birthright of the Genwunners and Unovabortions alike. For even advertisement hoardings and the excessive use of advertisements regarding Pokémon, in addition to the fact that they point unmistakably to the almost omnipotent power of their ability to direct attention to any Pokémon, feature, or petty spinoff(a power which vouchsafes them even the privilege of self-praise, which scarcely any other class of society could claim without incurring the charge of bad-taste), also show how docilely the greatest number must ultimately respond to repeated stimuli, and finally obey if they be told often enough to buy, or to go to see, any particular thing. We must look upon this with sympathy.
>>26810228I appreciate that. I enjoy time to myself in order to put together these little scripts, however meager they may seem.
