Sorry for the late reply!

Like I said, it depends on what circles you surround yourself with. As long as you're surrounded by more positive energy and like-minded people, you'll realize just how insignificant the toxic groups really are.

You shouldn't let them get to you. For every naysayer and genwunner out there, there's tons of people who adore the newer games and sometimes value them over the older ones. You just have to know where to look.

I'm not entirely sure myself. Funnily enough, I read somewhere that Pheromosa might be partially based on a copepod, which lives in water; and Golisopod's dex entries describe things that very much fit the Fighting type (fighting skillfully and meditating peacefully). So I feel it would make sense to switch them.

Yeah. Ironically, Pheromosa can't learn any Water type moves despite being partially based on an aquatic animal, but it is extremely fast yet frail at the same time, especially with the 4x Flying weakness. Golisopod's design and concept also reminds me of Samurott as they both are designed after samurais, and the fact that Dewott and Samurott's categories of the Discipline and Formidable Pokémon are more likely to be associated with Fighting type along with their Pokédex entries makes me wonder "they should've been Water/Fighting type" even if it means having 5 weaknesses (4 before Fairy type was introduced).

It's all way too subjective, and usually pretty ignorant. Saying Zebstrika is a ripoff of Rapidash is like saying a zebra is a ripoff of a horse. They're not the same species and have wildly different concepts. But some people just want to complain. They could make a toaster Pokemon and they'll figure out how to call it a ripoff of Jigglypuff.

I haven't seen too much in the realm of hypocrisy per se, but one thing that's been bothering me lately is people's attitudes toward the post game. I guess some people felt that there wasn't enough to do in the post game, but I'm getting sick of all these "Sun/Moon has no post game" posts. I'm sorry, but that's the most fucking entitled wording I've ever heard. Either you like the post game content or you don't; either you thought it was enough or too short. But there is post game. Don't post straight-up lies because you didn't get what you wanted. I've kinda wanted to express this but it wouldn't be right for a Pokemon Hypocrisy because, again, it's not hypocrisy, unless I can find something to compare it to.

I also feel people are really overblowing the "inconvenience" of the Festival Plaza, but I can't say that's hypocritical either so I can't make a post about it.

I feel like people finish the games way too quickly, so that may be the reason why they complain and get bored easily, but that's pretty much it. Unfortunately, I'm not even close to the end of the main game (I just arrived at Ula Ula Island after my first visit from the Aether Paradise), so I don't know how to relate to that or how long it takes me to finish the game! The only things I could think of after the main game for people to do is catching all Tapus, Ultra Beasts and Necrozma or challenging the Battle Tree with the familiar characters, but there is possibly more to do in the post-game.

I mean, there's always people complaining about the post game because everyone has their own ideas of what the post game "should" have. It's just frustrating to hear people complaining about it so much, sometimes to the point of claiming there's "no post game." Especially considering how bountiful it is compared to X/Y's post game, but people won't even acknowledge that (hell, some even have the nerve to say that S/M has no more post game than X/Y, which from my memory I think is pretty objectively wrong).

If anything, I almost feel like we get more post game stuff than normal in these games, just in the number of NEW legendaries to capture and the latter half of Poni Island. I feel like with other games, we often unlock one town or route after the league that isn't usually that impressive, and may at most be able to catch a legendary trio and the "3rd legendary" (assuming they're post-game-exclusive). 

This is probably closed-minded but the only thing I can interpret from these extreme post-game demands is that people want practically a sequel to the main story, or at least recycling a bunch of older gimmicks to make it feel like a lengthy post game only because it takes like 10 extra hours to do it all, whether it's actually fulfilling or not. Either that or they just don't like anything about the post game but rather than saying that they say it's just not enough. Because it seems there are games with less post-game that get praised way more, it just so happens to include a popular feature like the Battle Frontier.

I guess I feel people put emphasis on how long it takes them to finish the post game and how much they like it but then try to make it about how much stuff there is to do. At least that's what I get from this general attitude of (possible spoilers): "We explore half an island, play through a Looker arc, battle at the Battle Tree, catch 7 UB's, 4 Tapus and the 3rd legendary, get cameos from older characters, defend our title as Champion and meet new characters, complete our Pokedex, and battle 8 Eeveelution trainers to get Eevee's Z-Crystal? That's it????" Either you like it or you don't, but don't just act like stuff you didn't like was never in the game to begin with.

Depending on how you define that, I think they can be just as bad. After genwunners poisoned the fandom when B/W came out, it seems that some circles of people felt morally obligated to hate gen 1 and everything about it, as if it validated gen 5 in some way. But ranting about how shitty R/B/Y are and giving no reason for it other than "Muk" and "bad graphics" is just as bad as the other way around.

But if you take anti-genwunner to just mean people who are against judging a region based in flimsy and hypocritical arguments, that's more reasonable.

With Incineroar, I can't help but feel people are back on the "Pokemon are supposed to look like animals" bandwagon, they're just complaining about humanoid Pokemon instead of inanimate objects. Cofagrigus might be for a similar reason, or the older "inanimate objects" butthurt, or both.

Granted I have seen someone go on a full-on "Gamefreak fucked up" tirade about Decidueye and I firmly believe people would still be hating on Greninja if it wasn't broken af, that still doesn't explain why the likes of Mewtwo and Machamp get off scot free. Or why Incineroar and Delphox are considered "furry bait" but Lucario is perfectly fine, despite the dozens of fursuits I've seen for the latter.

I feel similarly about people who hate Midnight Lycanroc for being "too edgy" but they like Zoroark.

cmile571 In reply to NekozRuleMe [2016-12-31 06:05:12 +0000 UTC]

If Game Freak fucked up, the company might as well shut down production in favor of one hater if not a group of haters who don't like the official designs. Aside from being broken, they also find Greninja overrated to this point, especially with Ash-Greninja and complain about how much attention it's been getting lately. Machamp didn't get any Alolan form or Mega Evolution other than being a Poké Ride for Strength and Mewtwo gets to have two Mega Evolutions like Charizard yet the genwunners had to complain about how Game Freak ruined the two "greatest" Pokémon that ever existed. Ironically, I can see why Incineroar is accused for being furry bait due to the fact that it shoots fire from its buckle in a pelvic thrust and its flame belt is close to its groin which makes its design rather questionable and gives it the wrong impression for the children playing the game, but I don't see how Delphox is furry bait, its legs are completely concealed by its robe and is more modestly designed than Braixen, then again it's not impossible to sexualize any Pokémon as long as they're bipedal or humanoid (preferably with fur), but I guess people think of vixen as another name for prostitute. I don't see how being "too edgy" is an insult to Midnight Lycanroc, didn't they want a wolf/ werewolf Pokémon for Rockruff's evolution? I was a little confused that it didn't get to be part Dark type when it was first revealed since Tyranitar remains the only one with that dual typing, but at least it doesn't get the 4x weakness. I've also heard from haters about how Midnight Lycanroc is a lanky malnourished rip-off of Zoroark yet I don't see how these two are similar aside from being bipedal canines. At least, Midnight Lycanroc gets to keep its tail while Zoroark doesn't have one and has its mane and ponytail as a replacement. Whenever I look at one of Zoroark's artworks, I once read a comment about how people are disappointed and complained that the anime haven't shown Lucario and Zoroark interacting and fighting against each other as rivals since these two are the "badass canines" of Gen 4 and Gen 5 respectively.

That's what bothers me. It's one thing to say "I don't like this Pokemon's design," but it takes a whole new level of arrogance to think you know better than Game Freak about what's best for the game. If Game Freak built the game around fan suggestions, it would be a mess. The cognitive dissonance is astounding, because people will complain that they don't know what the fans want, but then the second they give a fan favorite special treatment, it automatically makes that Pokemon "overrated" and suddenly no one likes it anymore. It's almost like Pokemon are only fun when they're not acknowledged by the developers. So why open that can of worms again?

Honestly, the whole "pelvic thrust Incineroar" crap is just people looking for stuff that isn't there. I can't see kids picking up on that sort of thing. It's one thing with something like Salazzle where that's literally part of its concept (reverse harems and all that), but when people implant something onto a Pokemon from their own perverted minds, I'm left wondering how the design is to blame. And saying something is for furries because they see it as sexual just perpetuates an entirely different slew of problems. But, to stay on topic, I just don't see why anyone lets their assumptions on a subculture they don't care about impact what is canon to the game. Not to mention how hypocritical people can be about it. Seriously, it's funny and ridiculous when a soccer mom writes a review on Pokken Tournament called "Parents Beware" because of Blaziken's "genitalia," but the same people making fun of her think they're being valid when they can't tell the difference between a belt and Incineroar's nonexistent junk?

And while it's true that many humanoid Pokemon are rule 34'd, I don't think people understand how expansive it really is. It's not just Incineroar or Delphox or whatever else is cool to hate at the moment. In fact, I think I've seen more porn of the more asexual looking Pokemon: Latios/Latias, Flygon, Lugia, Ditto, etc. And I don't see the waves of haters shouting "furry bait" at Charizard or Blaziken despite them getting a lot of porn. Actually, I'd go so far as to say it isn't so much humanoid or mammalian Pokemon that get porn as much as it is popular Pokemon. I mean, Jynx straight up has boobs and it wouldn't be that hard to make it thinner and more sexy, but people would rather forego that and instead put boobs on a Flareon or show a Flygon spreading its eagle.

Same, I don't get why being "too edgy" is a bad thing. And that was weird, people wanted a werewolf evolution to Rockruff, and Game Freak not only does that but gives a second form for those who wanted a "proper wolf Pokemon," and leave it to this fandom to find new reasons to complain. I suppose it could have been part Dark though I don't know how that would have saved it competitively (that being one of the complaints). Other than that, the complaints about its appearance are just absurd. "Malnourished version of Zoroark," lol, have they seen Zoroark? That thing's been in eating disorder rehab far longer than Lycanroc. I even heard people complaining about it looking like Vrelisify's fursona, but they have literally nothing in common other than being bipedal dogs; they don't even have remotely the same body shape or color scheme. As for the movie comment, it just sounds like people letting their own subjectivity get in the way of canon. Just because they think Lucario and Zoroark share a connection in both being "badass canines," that does not mean they were ever intended to be connected, much less have enough chemistry and story to fill a movie. With that logic, you might as well give Dragonite and Goodra a movie because they're both "derpy dragons."
