>>46574194made a small difference to me, I didn't buy a switch and just kind of moved on from pokemon. I've only been browsing /vp/ recently because I was nostalgic and had started a White 2 run. It doesn't really matter to me if pokemon fails, I can always play the old ones I like or move on to other franchises / genres which is what I did. The fact that the current players need to put down anyone who didn't buy them to me says that they're desperate to get us back into the fold for some reason. I'll just assume that because anyone with dignity has left the quality of the fanbase has plummeted with more fags and coomers and sjws shilling for gamefreak, and now you want non-NPCs back so you try to demoralize them and tell them their choice doesn't matter.
