I say you attack people, you say nope, but then immediately admit to attacking people...

Yeah I'd stop responding too after that one. xD

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.

The game still looks like a big improvement over the last one gameplaywise,i do not really mind them cutting into the pokedex if what remains got effort put into it.
I also think they do not owe me to make every pokemon accessible forever.

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.

What exactly seems to be an improvement?  I'm legitimately asking, because reviews have kind of been vague on that, and I'm on the fence for this game.  I don't particularly care about the Pokedex issue.  I might buy it if I feel I can actually raise competitive teams without the huge time commitment of past games (which admittedly has gotten better with each release). I'm in law school right now, and if it's too much of a time sink, I probably won't do anything after the story, in which case the game isn't going to be worth it.

The scale,graphics and that semi open world area, also those big pokes to beat raidstyle seem like fun,no fixed camera and to be able to turn it how you want makes it more immersive,gives a greater feeling of freedom.

Heard there are plenty of gyms this time around and your character is highly costumizable.

But i'm not a good source to base your decisions on,i would firstly need to play it.

Fair enough, but those aren't the features I'm personally looking for.  Honestly the biggest thing for me is whether they have a feature such as bottle caps that let you raise IVs, and how easy they are to attain.  I just don't have the patience to hatch egg after egg.  Nature changing items are pretty cool though (although somehow changing a living thing's demeanor seems morally dubious).

Ha I must of have really made you salty if you're coming to the defense of a willfully ignorant liar, jumping on my one potential fallacy while ignoring his many.

Once again you're trying to derail discussion to be about how I don't word my post the way you'd like. We've had this discussion already, it's pointless and a waste of time, so I'm not going to engage further and you're just gonna have to deal with that.

Attacking people criticizing Sw/Sh is defending Game Freak and I'm not surprised you'd try to pretend they aren't one in the same. Therefore, even with the nope specifically referring to defending, I think the shortening of my post to be concise and to the point is still accurate.

Regardless, you're still an irrational liar, saying you don't defend games you haven't played despite this whole conversation being a result of your defending.

It's not about being owed, they don't owe us anything and we don't owe them. It's about standards not being upheld and blatant lying.

Right, your other go to move.  When you can't actually address the argument, simply assert the motivations of the opposing party in an attempt to discredit them.

Do yourself a favour and take an English class; it seems to me that you don't quite understand how the language works and the amount of time and effort it would take for me to explain how poorly you understood @Chrkeller is not really worth it. I will say, however, that based solely on what he's said and what you've said, he's right, you're wrong, and you're desperately clinging to your negative perceptions and cynicism in spite of his reason. 

So you should probably give up. His stance of "I'll decide for myself after playing based on the experience and the total package" is objectively a better and more intelligent stance than your "Despite having not played the game, I already know it sucks because it has reportedly done things I don't like." 

Are you his alt? Seriously, you both think you can make claims and expect everyone to take them as fact without explanation and despite rebuttal, then you think this doesn't make you irrational.

I should give up what exactly? Are you even paying attention? He came at me, I pointed out his nonsense, and then the discussion ended. Also no, blind faith is not more intelligent than informing yourself, I mean what the fuck, that's self explanatory. xD

The rest your wall of text is the same "Game Freak has been overdelievering!" justification for lower standards you've said before. Good luck getting anyone to believe that one.

Honestly, I don't even know where to start with this. You genuinely seem to either purposely misrepresent what people say in order to sound like you're right (this is a strawman fallacy) or you genuinely outright don't have the attention span to read till the end of the post. 

Until you learn to actually engage with others in a respectful and intelligent way, I see no reason to continue responding to you. Your response to my post and others is remarkably off base, responding to points we didn't make and making accusations that have absolutely no basis in the truth of our characters. We are not the ones being irrational, here; you are.
