>>53717204They just like Pokemon and don't feel the need to bleed their shitty opinions on reality into fantasy monster sims. The VGC scene in particular is a huge circlejerk.
Also dont get me wrong, there are still some who do, just not to the extent of westerners.
If you want to experience Pokemon pre-2012 again literally block/mute every english speaking person with VGC in their handle and only follow Japanese players (and dont be a dick jfc). Find the commentators and block them too (good luck).
You also have to know some rune, but there are guides all over 4chan for this.
