I think my I enjoy breeding and training too. I spent the better part of 4 weeks attempting to get every possible bankball, including rare balls. I'm fairly certain that dive ball chikoritas don't exist, so my next goal is to capture Bayleafs in Colloseum until I have them, just so that I can...

That's fine, I'll drop the points except to note that you misunderstood my league comparison and mischaracterized my arguments, and that I don't feel like I was particularly vehement at any point, I was just expressing what is obviously now an unpopular opinion. But, pursuant to your wishes I...

So, the way I understand your rebuttal, your actual defense applies only to two small subsets of the community. I find the 'Pokétubers' argument very suspect. To make a rough comparison: do league of legends pros, or those people who make a living playing league of legends get free access to new...

I think your bullet points are specious and caricature my meaning. Obviously the mechanics of the game encompass breeding in the way that breeding is typically done. This is evidenced by the great lengths that Gamefreak has gone to make breeding attractive and facilitate the creation of great...

I'm not entirely sure if this is an unpopular opinion on Smogon per se, but I'm sick of going to places like the Pokemon subreddit, popular pokemon youtubers channels, and other, smaller sites and seeing mass acceptance of things like the Pokehex browser injection pokemon. The justifications are...

PokeJapan: I just don't like that the games are physically disconnected from each other, because even though they reference each other it just feels like they've begun to exist in a bubble. I'm sure this could be solved by having games with multiple regions to demonstrate that it's a connected...

I mean, I don't really care about $5 USD a year, especially compared to the ridiculous way you transfer pokemon between gen IV and V (why can't I just skip this game wtf). You get so much value out of it I think complaining is a little bizarre. Even at the price point you quoted (120 HK = ~15...

It annoys me that, to collect all bankball pokemon, I need to go as far back as my Fire Red game to catch em all on my own. I get that they don't want to bloat the new games with all the old safari zone pokemon or whatever, but why the hell are so many bankballs effectively discontinued? Dream...

Unpopular opinions: 1) I think gamefreak should have finished designing regions based on areas of Japan, such that they could have a cohesive map. The way it works in-game now, it the game refers to the expanded dex as a "national" dex, which seems incongruous with the topology of each...
