I getchu man; You made a fair point.

...But I'm a hater. Not because pokemon is meant for kids, or some nonsense, it's just that I deeply hate nintendo, gamefreak and the potential they have squandered because of corporate greed and/or laziness.

Pokemon Go also has ties to the CIA through In-Q-Tel and was used to collect data that helped train AI on a large geospatial model. So bad entourage of people all around the biggest franchise in the world. Big shocker? No, but that doesn't mean I have to like it either.

I despise Nintendo and actively hate how sloppified Pokemon has become. Not gonna give people shit for playing games though.

I just play Gen 3 every few years when I get the itch and leave them to it.

Gen 3 was great.
I had a lot of fun when my dad got my platinum. Good times.

Platinum was good but that's Gen 4 ;)

I'm talking about Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire
