Here's your post again:

You called it absurd that people defend Pokémon when (supposedly) nobody stuck up for the games you mentioned in the preceding sentence. It's a blatantly obvious false equivalence because the magnitude of falling short of expectations is massive between Pokémon and the other games that were mentioned.

Granted, outrage is not the only explanation for such an error, so maybe I jumped the gun with my conclusion. It could also be that you don't know enough about the situation at hand to provide an informed summary of the situation which makes it easy to mistake you for someone who is outraged. Or you are using this situation as an opportunity to launch an attack at Pokémon fans/Nintendo fans at large, implying that they are mindless sheep. Or maybe you have an entirely different explanation for your false equivalence.

But regardless of the why, it's a false equivalence that makes it a post that isn't well-reasoned because it builds on the false premise that Sword/Shield is a massive disappointment instead of the mild disappointment that it actually is. The outrage you attempted to justify isn't justified.

Based on what? I can tell you as a Sonic fan as well I was massively disappointed with Sonic 06 and Boom, but still less than I am with this game because Sw/Sh is the start of a trend that'll affect all future games negatively.
