>>36117489Huh, you're literally arguing with phantoms. If you honestly think I was trying to discredit his claim, you're literally even more obtuse than I could have possibly imagined. Alright, since it seems your reading comprehension is at best lacking, I'll spell it out for you:
I said that Ishihara had said something, which would be a statement of fact. I then posed the rhetorical question of whether or not his claim meant he or anyone else at Game Freak was worth listening to. I.e. whether or not they are worth taking seriously, on the implied basis of my dislike for the latest generations.
The point had nothing to do with whether he'd said it, or even if he himself is credible. It was about the dissonance with regarding them as core titles, since it isn't like we don't know the sweeping changes introduced in them were a consequence of appealing to the audience of lapsed fans/mobile gamers LGPE is trying to court, not core fans and as a consequence it means they can't be trusted to know or even care what core fans actually want.
Whether you agree with that or not, I have no fucking idea how you managed to arrive at an entirely shirt-for-brains conclusion where I am even remotely attempting to discredit what he said, as opposed to the value of his input with respect to the interests of core players. It just doesn't even make sense.
But then, that's reflective of this entire exchange. Stay mentally retarded, anon.
