>>22898232These people want to convince themselves that they're the torch holders for the 'original spirit of pokemon', like when they played Gen 1 and EVs ans IVs weren't such a big thing, and that everyone else is compensating somehow.
They just don't realize they're the ones who come off more elitist than anyone else. Honestly whoever made that comic seems like they're too busy shitting on every single other play style and thinking of why they're so great rather than actually enjoying the game. I love my sweet good IV and EV Pokemon, absolutely nothing wrong with making fun teams that also have good IVs and everything, win or lose I just love dicking around with them and playing with them. That's better than some pseudo 'fun' feeling they get from just shitting on others with whatever team and Pokemon they think represent 'le tru pokey an spirit'
