Why do you "people" (term employed loosely) take Pokémon so seriously? You do understand it's a children's game and that it was never meant to be competitive?

Its unfortunately a symptom of living in the 21st century, brands and corporations have latched on so deep into western society that people have co-opted them into their identity and so make it personal whenever you criticize said brands as if you were criticizing the person's character instead

Funny you say that, since Masuda said the cut was for competitive balance purposes. Sounds like the devs itself are not aware it's a children's game huh

Just because something wasn't designed to be competitive, it doesn't mean that it can't be nor shouldn't be played competitively. All things in life with skill variance have the capacity to be fun when played against other people both casually and competitively.
You should try thinking for yourself instead of thinking the developer's intended ways of playing are concrete and unimpeachable.

I don't know if you're pretending to be retarded or if you actually are.
Why do we need to explain if a game with this kind of mechanical and mathematical depth and lore is not on the same level as Dora the explorer and Nintendogs?

Because fun is serious business, OP. If we didn't have fun/ entertaining things to distract us, it would be nigh impossible to keep our minds off of how shitty the world has become. I'd imagine at least 80% of the population of this website would have committed suicide by now if we didn't have our own ""happy place" to turn to in times of desperation. It's a pretty serious issue if entertainment media is no longer able to entertain a large portion of its consumer-base. That's why the ongoing decline of the Pokemon franchise is always a hot topic around these parts. Pokemon SwSh is merely the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.
