>>42386867... While in front of a million fans in the Pokemon fan base. Most of them currently using Twitter.
On Twitter, it's impossible not to have defendants. And we already know that the fanbase is now divided into three sections; the ones that do not give a fuck, the ones complaining about it and the ones who defend everything and anything the company does.
Because of ONE (1) single post from a Japanese person (not even related to BBND), there are outsiders rambling about "hurr durf worse than Smash fans" even though all fanbases are terrible and always have a dark side to them. In this case, this was a situation involving one person (already have been other people) frustrated with no dex, who was misinformed (since they did not know (and Masuda should have told)) that the 200 mons would be available regardless of expansion, as long you have the update (trading; Home transfer).
In this case, it was a ill-intended polite question dealt with lack of professionalism in not wanting to inform that the person in question was wrong for the sake of personal gain.
