>>46378792The reason I brought up RPG mechanics is because that's where those arguments will ultimately lead. It doesn't matter if you use the mainline games or not because they just don't care to do so. Pokemon has made it clear that they are not pets. Masuda and other lead directors said so. Other people like me have said so with citation to back it up. They choose to ignore it. That's not the game's fault, that's just brainlets being brainlets.
To truly make your pokemon more than "pets", you have to bring them to an RPG standard which isn't feasible and will be ignored anyway ontop of pissing off other fans that want them that way in the first place.
My point is that it's their fault for seeing pokemon as anything other "battle pets" and if you're just bring the argument up then I'm sorry...you have to be around faggots who want something the series won't be able to give...especially without pissing someone else.
And this also extends to any other form of media, commonly the anime and manga. The same shit where instead they only look at the anime or manga. You can show them explains and given them screenshots and citations but also refuse to see whatever it is they claim pokemon isn't doing or doesn't have. And the same conclusion is there too that they want something that cannot be created and fulfull whatever irrational faggot desire they have.
And that also leads to other primary point, facts don't care about your feelings; just because you say it isn't there doesn't mean said statement is true.
And by you I don't mean you anon but the idiots that make those arguments. Just do what I do them and ignore them and enjoy pokemon. They're wannabe lorefags anyway; fuck them.
