>>33277486I honestly don't know OP. When the games were released the majority of /vp/ liked them. Of course there were few people who liked them but anybody stating otherwise was clearly not here at the time.
As time went on the hate grew and grew. The only thing I can imagine is that the people who enjoyed the game moved the fuck on. You can tell based on how the hate has changed that it's all meaningless and pointless for lack of something better to do.
At first the hate was sensible and honestly correct: can't skip cutscenes, no real post-game, no national dex, frame-rate, railroading. Now the hate is just generic and subjective; it's boring, worst characters, worst pokedex, worst region, shit game.
It's hate for hate's sake. Every poll on /vp/ has a majority of people liking the game.
I don't even bother anymore. I just enjoy what I like and let people hate what they want.
