Shit like complaining about level curves or game speed has only cropped up in the last few years as the result of a few things.
1. We've run out of things to argue about with these games
2. People's who's games we're left behind by the consensus (The consensus being that the DS games, namely Pt, HGSS, and BW2 are the best and your #1 comes down to personal preference between the 3) desperate to tear down HGSS, BW2, and Pt with whatever obscure niggling they could fine in the hopes it would elevate their game into that spotlight.
It's pure concern trolling, literally none of this shit we focus on in genwar threads today actually affects the end result of how fun these games are to play. It's a bunch of pseudo intellectual bullshit where genwar retards try to prove that some component of the games we like have a design element that could have been better, then that genwar retard proceeds to cling to and ride that negligible flaw into the sunset as definitive proof that the best games in the series are bad.
Every Pokemon game is slow as molasses and 90% of the fanbase uses speed up in the modern era. Why are they supposed to care that Chansey's healthbar drains on the slow side in gen 4? Answer: They don't.
Every Pokemon game is piss easy and full of non-encounters. So why would people end up caring that one game is piss easy like the rest, BUT with weird level scaling on top of that? Answer: They don't.
Every gym in the entire series is a joke that can be blitzed through without thought. So why are fans supposed to care when you indignantly point to the fact Pryce has a Seel? Answer: They don't.
These arguments are divorced from the reality of actually playing these games and what makes a Pokemon experience fun and exclusively focused on what can be said to try and tear these games down on an underwater mongolian basket weaving forum.
