Why do Pokemon fans act Elitist despite Pokemon not being philosophical or having hardcore themes?

Elitist towards fans? Towards certain Pokemon games? Towards other games? In what way?

"The f**ker who goes round beating people to a pulp. He thinks it'll never happen to himself. But there's gonna be a day when the f**ker gets f**king beaten to a pulp too. But that day's f**king today and the guy doing the beating is a f**king c**t." - Sang-hoon, Breathless (2009)

Usually towards/against the newer games, Persona, other Nintendo franchises or owned, sometimes Final Fantasy and Disgaea.

People get passionate about stuff they like getting worse. Pokémon fans snubbing other series as worse is something I never see. Only kids would do that.

I have never seen a Pokemon fan be "elitist" towards any other RPG series. And what you are describing for the newer games is people being dissapointed by the newer games, not elitism. There is nothing really wrong with that, considering they have definitely made a lot of questionable decisions in recent years.

Well a lot of fans of Pokemon are Gen X/Millenials who probably foster a sense of entitlement because of the nostalgia they had for the older games. They are probably conflating their nostalgia with how good the games used to be and get mad because newer games don't give that same sense of nostalgia for them anymore.

I did actually see once a Pokemon fan go on a tirade on how it isn't a JRPG because those are for weird basement dwellers.

Both a lack of self awareness and out of touch with reality at the same time.

Yeah lot of Nintendo fans are pretty weird bootlickers who use morality as a guise to cover the bad shit development companies do lol, the best way to enjoy anything nintendo is to enjoy it by yourself since lot of them are addicted to soy and like watching their wives get railed by demonvarqtarious types from the ghetto in exchange for vasectomies to get switches lol.

If it is they don't like the newer games I mean I can see to that. I have problems with many devs pandering or having not sufficient design. I'm fine with new design if it's good not if it's nostalgia pandering or not really putting enough effort in. I mean if we see changes and we accept them it's fair but if not why say oh fans like this entry and ignore what it did entirely or not expand/maybe do new things not have an identity crisis on what systems or what direction or what audience to be wide appealing just pick one.

I look to Indies or third parties and see better design sometimes and I assume other Pokemon fans or other gamers do as well. How much are Paper Mario fans or Earthbound fans looking to successors in the Indie/third party spaces to PM TTYD and for good reason. Some go 'oh were big who cares' while others will go 'you got to compete not get comfortable'. Some games do get comfortable though.

(I have problems with the Ratchet games and GT7 for just game design reasons (no not the MTX) the campaigns are just not great, nostalgia isn't going to convince me game design is and otherwise the wide audience appeal/safeness didn't effect GT3 and 4 did they but nope apparently forget that follow trends and dumb it down more then open ended design which if they did they would get more people playing to justify the servers (even if I hate the internet connection element) how many people make challenge videos on those entries because of their design not design you play a bit and move on. Ratchet games just have an identity crisis even beside Crack in Time being praised they still seem to not get what people liked about that game or how to present new ideas then going Nintendo nostalgic for PS fans but in the most awkward way possible when we make it clear what design elements we like and they still follow trends and respond in the most awkward ways in game design responses).

Granted I don't know what kinds of things fans of Pokemon want of gameplay, story or otherwise but I assume their points can be valid. I play games that are family friendly because of the ideas they have, whatever gameplay or artstyle or whatever in them.

I'll play platformers for that reason not because oh it's for kids I couldn't care less I'll play because it has appealing elements to me just as much as a tonal different game. If it's a hack n slash you bet I will as I don't mind the silliness/parody/self awareness and the combat mechanics whether fighting robots, angels/demons or monsters doesn't bother me.

I mostly go for Nintendo games for the controller gimmicks and the variety of genres. I don't play Mario/Pokemon because their design doesn't appeal to me but I'll gladly Pikmin, Fire Emblem and others.

The JRPG mindset I mean since when did people go 'were Nintendo fans but we don't respect JRPG players' I always found it odd when people went 'eh Xenoblade or Fire Emblem or other JRPGs' during directs like you get enough other games to play if you look hard enough from third parties or Nintendo later in the year what are you people complaining about.

I mean I don't care for most JRPGs because of the mechanics, sometimes the stories can be compelling but if I see ones with compelling features I'll play them just as much as any other game. But I mean I only care for JRPG Tactics games really because of the small boards then in and out of battle and big worlds in western ones. Besides the strategy and unique features and funny dialogue.

I don't care for Pokemon because it has gameplay that doesn't interest me. I couldn't care less about the rest in it but do I think it stands out yes but is it also supposed to be accessible like COD is for people playing their first RPG or shooter also yes.

I think some people do get their 'my favourite company' side a bit too much. I moved on from Sony because their cinematic games aren't my thing but if that's their business now that's what it is. I've got all 3 consoles or more genres I've played now (to even retro games I can give my money to the second hand market I don't have to fun new games if I don't want to) so I have other choices.

I'm not bound to one platform maker nor their brands/how they adapt their brands in certain ways. That and I see how Nintendo handle Mario Sports games, I won't deny the old games had personality and gameplay ideas in them then just being a generic, add updates later and barely any exciting content to them sports games like now. I mean I like arcadey sports games but I won't deny they are getting pretty bad and I don't even play them.

Honestly I think StarfireDragon hit the nail on the head. In fact, some of the Pokémon fans that are becoming disappointed with the newer entries of the core series are starting to compare it to other RPGs that have things in it that they feel the franchise could take notes from. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I really empathize with those fans, but their concerns for the franchise are really understandable; in actuality I think some of the real toxic Pokémon fans are those insisting that there's nothing wrong with the games, saying that those who have complaints are doing it just to complain and be toxic, effectively shutting down these dissenting opinions in the process. Those types of fans are the real toxic ones in my opinion.

It's really not about nostalgia for some of these complaints about the newer games.

You know, I've never consciously thought about this, but it's been true in my experience. Self-professed Pokemon fans always act like their games are soooo much better than SMT, Persona, Disgaea, etc. They never understand why you don't care for the franchise, they always want to play 20 questions with you to figure out what it is you don't like about it, etc. I had one tell me once that Persona is bad because "Persona fans want to fuck underage characters." Strong cope. Wanting to bang an anime girl is a lot more normal than wanting to fuck fucking Gardevoir or Lopunny. Sick fucks. Rot in hell.

The consensus is very much divided on this lol. I'm guessing it all comes down to bias. I do think that one thing is for certain; in that there are a subset of Pokemon fans who are disappointed, and some who are fanboys for the sake of fanboys. In my personal experience, I have seen more of the former, or, at the very least, they are the more vocal ones (making trending hashtags and the like), and so, that is where I get my stance from. But I don't deny that Nintendo games typically do have a fanboyish fanbase a lot of the time.

Lot of these fans, happen to be minors as well too, you know easily impressionable kids so ofc, they'd think their opinon is the right one. And to quote mr.metokur, hearing a minors opinoin on anything should be seen as a human rights violation.

Also thankyougamefreak was absoultely fucking pathetic one its twitter a hell hole circlejerk and two yeah honestly game freak did deserve shit for delerving shit products like sword/shield they went a bit on the right track with arceus but yeah it still kind of went backwards with, the remakes of pearl/diamond and imo it should have been a octopath styled remake like live a live than a 3d one with poor source coding from the ds.

So yeah, Nintendo fans honestly annoy the hell out of me and no surprise at all either smash fans are massive groomers lol.

This is the most important review you will ever read on metacritic. These are the best games ever made. The criticisms are unfounded and dumbfounded. Why are you complaining about only having 400 pokemon to play as? Other RPGs like final fantasy and xenoblade and persona typically only have 7ish characters to play as. Yet people are upset about 400? Bad argument. Bad graphics? That's not true. These games are cartoony beautiful appealing graphics. They'retimeless. I think the Thanos snap of pokemon is the best thing to happen to the series. It exposes the fake fans and shows who really cares about pokemon. If you dislike these games then you need to purchase them again and try again. And if you don'tbuy them then dont talk.

These games are not as bad as people think. The removal of the national pokedex was to improve the quality of the game, and it removed a lot of unnecessary Pokémon I don’t care much for. While it did remove some fan favorites, we have over 80 new Pokémon to look at! Most of the new Pokémon are decent to great. Give the newbies a chance. I really like the wild area in the Galar region and it keeps me returning to the game. Outside the wild area though, the game is kinda boring. Being unable to turn off the exp share and high levels of wild Pokémon makes the trainers and gym leaders really easy. It does reduce the need to grind, however. My favorite aspect of the game is max raid battles. It’s great to feel like I’m doing a raid in Pokémon GO. While I can’t meet new people, I don’t have to leave the house for it. People are complaining about the graphics, but I don’t think they look that bad. Overall, I can say that Pokémon Sword and Shield are decent middle-of-the-road Pokémon games!

Amazing switch game. Everyone who says it’s not good isn’t a true Pokémon fan. It follows a non tradition story of gyms and strictly gyms. It has the flow of the anime. Very linear, yet still allows for a grand adventure. Has a good story, good characters, and great animations. How can anyone not like it

some of these ratings compared to the desc tho

It's clear that you don't even understand whats happening with the games.
You really think the people are just mad because of the limited pokedex? You're wrong.

People are mad because developers LIED, multiple times about this game.
The main reason they're cutting the dex was to improve the animation and models of the games. What did they do? RECYCLE ALL OF THE 3DS animation. Not only recycle but not improve A SINGLE DAMN THING about animations. There's no justification of this, there's no way to accept this kind of butchered game with little to NO improvement of the gameplay, specially considering that N64 Pokemon Stadium had MORE animation back them than what they're animating now.
Animations are just the bigger scale of the problem, there are multiple problems about the game that I won't even bother to explain because i bet you will continue to support this disaster of game.

You hope this sells better than previous games? Oh of course, so you're actually supporting their laziness and greediness? Haha. So you're supporting the downgrade of the franchise. I bet you would also support Bethesda killing Fallout series.
Because this is actually what's happening here. Producers lying and selling you a copy paste game with bad dynamics that don't improve the game at all.

I'm sorry that you're satisfied with low standards. But that doesn't mean others have to aim for low. Specially if they're actual fans of the franchise.

Lol you have NO CLUE what you're talking about haha all you naysayers are just butthurt you didn't get your way and that GameFreak is going to sell millions of copies of these games in spite of all that bitching. Just finished the game and it's totally fun, great to see GameFreak is able to slap all of you across the face with its giant corporate cock. Can't wait for Pokemon Gun or the Sinnoh remakes or whatever comes next :)

Don't even bother with that guy. Just see what he replied to me, unironically he himself admitted to enjoy GF giant corporate cock. He lacks of recognize that GF is putting a small amount of effort on the game. Not to mention that they did lied.

I would be defending this game if it wasn't that the same problems that S&S is having, were also since XY.

But apparently giving criticism while being worried about how the freaking maingames have sunk pretty deep because devs are lazy, is being "entitled" "butthurt" and "manchild".

Imagine you're a consumer of a franchise of food, they sell great food, make great income and gives you the balanced amount of quality considering the price you're paying, but they get a status quo of high amount of customers that would still buy their food even if they start dropping the quality.
Some customers realize and investigate they're lying about their products, they're selling cheap stuffs for the same or higher price, customers complain and yet people like this guy dare to say those customers are idiots while he keeps licking their boots.

Pretty sad. But lets just let him be.

Btw the problem is not Nintendo nor the Switch, is actually GameFreak.

It's amazing how completely over your head everything I said went, talk about hopeless. But hey feel free to cry some more stewing over your Dexit anger; the game broke the franchise sales records so Gamefreak and the players loving the game are all laughing at you all the way to the bank. Sorry man <3

https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1809866&show=50#msg58724031

Hilarious to see the Dexit manbabies here in this thread as well as everywhere else are still crying; luckily it seems like a lot of them have run out of the energy needed to keep pissing their pants. Meanwhile the vast majority of people as seemingly echoed in this thread are clearly enjoying the game. More sales information is out and it looks like the game will easily be the second best selling gaming in the Switch, may even somehow beat the untouchable Mario Kart for that number one spot. I know you're having trouble accepting it manbabies, but it looks like you took a big fat L. Enjoy <3

yes i did kinda have to scrape tooth and nail for this so i'm probably not making any real arguments
yes i probably need to go outside
maybe i probably feel sad everyday

I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a videogame, the wait has been excruciating! I haven't played a mainline Pokemon game since Pearl over a decade ago back when I was in Middle School.

It really bothers me all these entitled toxic man children bitching about the limited Pokedex talking endless shit about the game. Spend like five minutes on the Pokemon subreddit and you'll want to shoot yourself. I hope this game does even better than the last few generations just as a giant middle finger to all those pricks. Frankly I was really happy to find out that they limited the amount of Pokemon, I'd like to try getting into competitive and it gives new people (not transferring anything) like me a chance to catch up (even if a lot of my old favorites aren't there) plus it's better for the competitive meta game (almost 1000 different choices is way too many for team crafting). I really can't wait to play the game!

Are you sure you don't work for Nintendo? Because you convinced me to buy it. XD

Despite all the hate it's getting from the vocal minority of toxic man babies in the Pokemon community trying to shit on it in any way they can to punish it for the grave sin of not letting them transfer all their Pokemon; it's a genuinely great game (frankly I'm glad they limited the number of Pokemon, it let them balance the game better and help new people like me not start at an overwhelming disadvantage compared to all the long running players).

LMAO..

And people could call you a Nintendrone that laps up anything that daddy Nintendo drops into your food bowl.. Why insult people who criticize the game..? Nobody has said nothing negative about people who don't mind the shortcomings and enjoy the product.. What's next.. going to call them entitled? I bet you know that they are right about everything they've brought up and this is the only way to make you feel better about buying this low effort gamefreak title...

There is a lot more issues with the game than just the lack of transferring.. but yeah all these people complaining may not make a difference in sales. Hell, I expect it to sell well because the Switch apart from 2-3 titles has a terrible catalog of games. Basically being an indie machine that plays stuff like Untitled Goose Game..

Don't even bother with that guy. Just see what he replied to me, unironically he himself admitted to enjoy GF giant corporate cock. He lacks of recognize that GF is putting a small amount of effort on the game. Not to mention that they did lied.

I would be defending this game if it wasn't that the same problems that S&S is having, were also since XY.

But apparently giving criticism while being worried about how the freaking maingames have sunk pretty deep because devs are lazy, is being "entitled" "butthurt" and "manchild".

Imagine you're a consumer of a franchise of food, they sell great food, make great income and gives you the balanced amount of quality considering the price you're paying, but they get a status quo of high amount of customers that would still buy their food even if they start dropping the quality.
Some customers realize and investigate they're lying about their products, they're selling cheap stuffs for the same or higher price, customers complain and yet people like this guy dare to say those customers are idiots while he keeps licking their boots.

Pretty sad. But lets just let him be.

Btw the problem is not Nintendo nor the Switch, is actually GameFreak.

It's amazing how completely over your head everything I said went, talk about hopeless. But hey feel free to cry some more stewing over your Dexit anger; the game broke the franchise sales records so Gamefreak and the players loving the game are all laughing at you all the way to the bank. Sorry man <3

Hilarious to see the Dexit manbabies here in this thread as well as everywhere else are still crying; luckily it seems like a lot of them have run out of the energy needed to keep pissing their pants. Meanwhile the vast majority of people as seemingly echoed in this thread are clearly enjoying the game. More sales information is out and it looks like the game will easily be the second best selling gaming in the Switch, may even somehow beat the untouchable Mario Kart for that number one spot. I know you're having trouble accepting it manbabies, but it looks like you took a big fat L. Enjoy <3

yes i did kinda have to scrape tooth and nail for this so i'm probably not making any real arguments
yes i probably need to go outside
maybe i probably feel sad everyday

Oh yeah, i remember that persons posts. That dude is only just saying it just so he can swallow Nintendo's semen even though to be frank, Nintendo couldn't really care less at all about any of the people shilling for them as they don't even know they exist at all as the ultimate form of irony lol.

Also btw, that users posts is actually liable to being reported for flaming and stiring up shit as that goes against the rules here something to keep in mind.

itt: an elitist complaining about elitists from other communities
as above said, every communities have elitist. pokemon has a really large fanbase, so you're likely to encounter obnoxious people.

You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

People get passionate about stuff they like getting worse. Pokémon fans snubbing other series as worse is something I never see. Only kids would do that.

Kids and some punkass, middle-aged Hawaiian woman both. Yes, that said old hag would stoop that low. That is, hating on games that have deeper stories than Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Zelda.

At least I'll have my PhD one day and that old Hawaiian will be serving my fries, but I doubt I'll want to meet her in a dreadful arid state called Nevada.

Texans are what again SpongeBob? Ever seen a Hawaiian as dense and hardheaded?

Must be easy to exclusively love Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Bleach and overly feminine shoujo manga like that old ingrate with the personality of a brick when you come from a backwater island.

I've never seen an elitist Pokemon fan, only elitist Pokemon haters.

Regardless, you can be elitist about anything it doesn't have to be deep. You could be an elitist about eating glue if you wanted.

Well, I did put this together based the opinions I've seen on Sword and Shield:

I had a lot of fun with Sword. Sure, some of the criticisms are fair, but it's the bits of incoherent and sophomoric rambling of how much they hate the games that makes me not want to talk to gamers anymore - like, I can't have a conversation with someone who just resorts to calling something dogshit ad nauseam as if there aren't more intelligent ways to describe things.

Why do Pokemon fans act Elitist despite Pokemon not being philosophical or having hardcore themes?
