This seems to be just your go to thing.  The simple fact is he did not say he didn't attack people.  He said nope indicating that he was disagreeing with some part of your post. Since the word nope absent of context is vague and unclear, he then provided two more specific statements precisely defining his disagreement.  His clarification made it clear that "nope" was not implying that he never attacked people for any reason.

But hey, responding to what you wanted him to say is much easier than responding to what was actually said.  Of course, I'm probably just nitpicking, because anything that disagrees with you tends to fall into that category.

Yep this exactly.  Thank you kindly.  

More specifically:

First Dolphin comment: "You attack people over games you haven't played, most of your post about Sw/Sh involves defending Game Freak from criticism. "

I said "nope" referring to "defending" Game Freak.  And I clarified that I am reserving judgement for when I play the game.  He then responded with "quoting" himself:

"You attack people over games you haven't played"

Note how he intentionally only quoted part of his original statement.  He did so to make it appear he said something other than what he originally did.   

Yeah. It went from you attack people over games you haven't played, to simply "I said you attack people".  Again, this is a pretty standard playbook.  Also, if a person expresses a desire not to engage with obvious and blatant dishonesty he'll go with the "you can't fire me, I quit" defense. Or in this case more accurately the "yeah you better run" defense.
