>>29535260The reason for it is to invoke strawman, sure, but the reason behind it is well supporting and logical point. I would disregard the levels because a couple changes to those is an unnecessary thing to bitch about
The real issue is an item that was once objectively inferior was an optional, mid-game present you can earn if you knew exactly how to get it. Now it's one of the first key items you obtain and it trivializes an already simple game
This would not be an issue if it were earned at a later point, but when the game is more fun without its aid, then the issue is the fact Game Freak is bothered by retarded kids dropping their games and need braindead handholding to enjoy an already braindead game. Meanwhile the older fanbase has split opinions on it, and no one can defend Game Freak for only focusing on the children when they have blatant Gen I and Kanto pandering in both Gen VI and VII and kids certainly don't give a fuck about that
