I've discovered that Pokemon is a Hardcore Game, therefore Pokemon Haters must be Casual Gamers (and a few Mid-core).

A casual gamer is a player whose time or interest in playing games is limited. Casual gamers tend to play games designed for ease of gameplay and don't spend much time playing more involved games. The genres that casual gamers play vary, and they might not own a specific video game console to play their games. (...)(more demographic stuff).

That's funny, I don't see anything there defining casual gamers as people who dislike a single arbitrary example of a hardcore game.

I'm not saying that every casual gamer is a hater. There are pokemon haters (there is no doubt in that) and what I'm trying to do is to find the type of gamer they are. Since pokemon fails as a casual game (see below the part you quoted) the most logical answer is that pokemon haters belong to the casual gamer group.

Read what I said again. I'm saying being a Pokémon hater doesn't make you a casual gamer. It's just one example of a "hardcore" game. Suppose we choose another equally "hardcore" game, like Mass Effect. What if someone is super hardcore for Mass Effect but simply doesn't like Pokémon, or vice-versa? Just because they don't like Pokémon, they're casual? Does this rule apply exclusively to Pokémon and to no other games?
