>>53933564>Self-refutingIt's not, those are different things.
>No, it's because they just haven't implemented other kinds of catching contestsSo basically, "I'm right, the fact evidence contradicts me is coincidence". Okay, this is sad.
>It's equally nonsensical for people to catch bugs or fish in real life, because they're all just another animalNo? Not at all? There's a real reason why parents don't just let kids go out and try to bag a bear in the woods out back. Are you insane? There's a CLEAR difference in reality, but all pokemon are basically the same in universe, it's obviously a different thing.
>Do you seriously not understand organized competition?That's his whole point. The entire game is organized competition, and the same competition even. It's like if you ran a 500m race, but also the stretch of track between 200m and 300m is also a separate race for no reason at all, and you don't stop running at any point, and the raves have the same rules, and you just keep running to finish the race when you're done with that stretch anyways. It's just... there. It's pointless, it's nothing.
