The point that I'm ultimately trying to make is that nobody understands just how much freedom developers have in deciding what type of game they want to make. So it's not that I'm against the idea of Pokémon branching into different genres, I think ideas like what I've said would have been awesome. I just think it's fucking retarded when people use the phrases like "supposed to be" when they have literally no idea what they're talking about at all.
