Glad I'm not the only one noticing that Pokemon GO is bringing forth all these "not fans". :\ There's old fans that got back into it BECAUSE of Pokemon GO, then there are...non-fans that are just kinda annoying. You know, the people that play it cuz its so popular lololol

I don't see why Pokemon GO would make more people want to go to worlds, though. The GO players that you guys speak of, do you REALLY think they'd go to a tournament where they literally do NOT know what the **** is going on? You know, because they got their heads stuck so far up in Gen I that it's pathetic? Just saying.

Lol but the elitism from Xanthe's post alone is strong and just like, so true. xD It's how I actually feel about stuff, too, despite not wanting to admit it half of the time.

TL;DR: PoGO brought forth a lot of casual fans and mainstreamers, but it's not like it brought forth a whole bunch of dedicated fans or anything. (On that note, does anyone even PLAY Pogo anymore? I got so freaking bored with it because Niantic are horrible developers and the same Pokemon get old after a while)
