| JWeinCom said: First off, please show me any point where I said or implied that Game Freak said this was a rationale for reducing the number of Pokemon. It will be hard to do because I didn't. I for one don't make assumptions on the rationale of others without good reason. Second of all, please show me where I said that anyone was incompetent. Third, longtime players have access to a boatload of options because they have access to previous games and can transfer Pokemon. If someone already has them from previous gens, a new player will have to spend a significant deal of time to catch up. I thought that was self explanatory but if it wasn't, that's what I meant. Fourth and most importantly, are you capable of having a respectful argument in good faith, or are you simply going to assume motivations and put up strawmen? If you can, I can clarify my points. If you expect me to defend points I never made, I'm not going to bother. |
Accusing me of strawmaning when that's literally what you're doing right now. I don't think you're stupid, I think you understand what I said and are just nitpicking and reading too much into it to distract from the main point, that metagame benefits is a poor defense. If you have nothing more to say on that matter then we're done here.
