>>14443377Do you say the same shit about people who play Nintendogs, Animal Crossing, and Harvest Moon? Every character in those games is just data. The Nintendogs are data, the villagers are data, and the HM Waifus are data.
I would even argue that your Pokebros are more "real" than they are, because at least you can do cool stuff and win fights with your Pokemon. You can't do shit with any of the above, and yet no one complains about them being just data.
