>>37495381>So is the genwunner portion of the fanbase basically entirely American?Basically, and I'll tell you why. You know how the fetishization of 90s culture really cropped up in recent years? It's ENTIRELY an American phenomenon, and one that started as a marketing ploy at that.
Consequently, we have millions of brainless, normie millennials lumping in Pokemon along with other old cartoons like Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Catdog, etc. The vast majority of these people were never dedicated fans of Pokemon, just casual tv watchers as kids (which is fine), but when this all interferes with the objective quality of my favorite franchise, and they pretend to care, that's when I get irritated. I was browsing on Pokemon's Instagram just today and someone was asking if LGPE was playable on PC. Truly dark times we live in.
