Why do people who play this franchise instantly resort to self loathing whenever someone criticizes Nintendo? When someone points out an obvious flaw or a downgrade from the previous games, another person will instantly will mock that person by implying they shouldn't be passionate about pokémon nor taking it seriously. I really don't understand why this mindset is so prevalent in this franchise. Granted that an individual is enjoying the games, why would he then insult another fan and attempt to mock them by pandering to societal norms for simply wanting to improve the franchise? I've just watched a few reviews of the new games, but i see this loser mindset everywhere, even on this board. Improving the games and what other people think about you playing them are two completely separate topics, why do these people confuse them for being the same thing? Do these people even reflect on their behavior?
