Pokemon Only fans are JRPG players that don't like JRPGs. They will play other JRPGs and complain about lots of story, text and long animations because they're used to all those things being awful or short enough that you can skip them all.

It's weird when people say SM's cutscenes and dialogue are too much when it's basically the bare minimum compared to other jrpgs

I like JRPGs, mainly mainline SMT and its spinoffs.
Pokemon is definitely the worst JRPG of the ones I do like though, especially since the series has been very disappointing lately.

Pokemon scratches a different itch than most rpgs, also Japanese storytelling tends to be very cliche and trite, the less the better.

Pokemon fans don't usually even play anything outside of Pokemon, it's why they defend to the death the constant shitty practices and lackluster games they get.

But you can't skip those things at all in Pokemon while in other ones, like Fire Emblem, you can skip even the most simple interaction.
Why are bootlickers so stupid, anons?

People complain about Pokemon cutscenes because the writing is ass and the cast is as deep as a puddle.
Doesn't help that ever since Gen V they decided to switch translators so everything sounds like it came out of a machine.

They will play other ones, but reject them for the sake of their mainstay's simplicity.

I'm not arguing that story heavy spectacle JRPGs are better nor worse, I'm arguing that JRPGs are usually story heavy spectacles or one of the two, which pokemon arguably isn't either.

This isnt a "Pokemon bad" thread. Go hate circle jerk somewhere else.

Skipping in pokemon means mashing A through dialogue without having to worry about knowing the plot or where you need to go next while having text speed on fast and animations turned off so you can mash through battles aswell

2 out of 3 of your accusations describe pokemon. Pokemon is anime trash.

Nah Pokémon's the only jrpg I play and that's more to do with the universe they'd created, than it was due to preferring the gameplay.

So? Pokémon is also a JRPG, even if it's a half-assed one. At least i don't have to put 150 hours on it to finish the main story.

The discussion isn't "why do Pokemon only players only play one JRPG" it's "Pokemon fans don't like other JRPGs because..."

I don't even know how to respond to this half-baked response

I know several people who despise turn based combat/level grinding and will seethe and sperg about how those two things are “bad game mechanics,” but circlejerk Pokémon’s gameplay to hell and back. Most of the people I’ve met who think like this also treat Pokémon like it’s is their only personality trait as well. They’ll bitch about how other JRPGs are garbage and unplayable because you have to grind and watch cutscenes, but Pokémon gets a free pass because “funny yellow rat go zap.”
It’s a really bizarre mindset I’ve only ever noticed among pokefags.

Old Pokémon games did indeed lack some of the defining aspects and tropes of the JRPG genre, and I honestly think that was for the better.
Even if Pokémon managed to pull of a story-heavy game well, why do it? That's not why anyone ever started to play Pokémon, and there are plenty of games that do that much better than Pokémon ever could.

I want to customize my party and just go to explore and beat bosses. I don't give a shit about the story and characters. I just to play the game. That's not a bad thing. I would like to find more jrpg like Etrian Oddysey desu.

Personally, I find it interesting how mainline Pokemon got standard fare JRPG combat and made something competitive out of it, but that is as much as it gets.
