>>53712552Because most of the Pokemon community are manchildren who are insecure about their interest in Pokemon and try to make themselves seem mature within the context of the game, which involves "challenging" yourself by not using items in battle or not using legendaries despite the fact every game in this series can be beaten by just mashing A with anything
This form of identarianism is especially prevalent amongst people who started with Gen 4 or 5 and found them hard as kids but realized they're piss easy as adults so all they can do is just replay their favorite games with these retarded "challenges" instead of either playing PvP or moving onto an actually difficult game
