>>20324249op, i will be 100% honest -- you are the problem with your "inability" to play pokemon
you are not mannered enough to play the game just because you feel the need to follow these -- i wouldn't even know what to call them -- "trends" that you're talking about
>metathis can be easily ignored, but you are simply not mannered enough. if you're talking about game mechanics, yes, there were some changes, but it is still the same old stuff in the bigger scheme of things -- literally
>smogonyou are simply not mannered enough to ignore these unofficial set of rules and tiers
>nit-picking on few pokemonyou are simply not mannered enough to play the games to see all the other pokemon that you will probably like
op, you are the kind of filthy that really needs to get the fuck out. you base pokemon solely on nostalgia, and you have an unwillingness to even try out the newer games.
even though the reddits, kotaks, tumblrs, 9gags, gamefaqs, etc are fucking imbeciles, they actually mostly fall in line with the others here by SIMPLY PLAYING THE FUCKING GAME. you are not able to do this. there are plenty of people who just play the games without worrying about what is going on with the meta
and to think that gamefreak actually panders to your kind... i am disgusted right now
pls leave
sorry, i guess, if i came on too strong
