Then there's this statement of yours, that whole "opportunity to try different pokemon " thing. That opportunity has ALWAYS been there, they didn't need to remove entire species from the games just to force players to use others (which by the way is a terrible tactic if your goal is to get people to like something new: removing something old that people already liked just to force them to use the new thing is a surefire way to get at least a good chunk of players to outright resent the new thing), players always had the option to try something new themselves whenever they wanted. And even if some of them didn't so what? Not everyone has to play the game a certain way, and forcing them to play a certain way honestly feels pretty insidious.

I'm still very on the fence on if I want to get SwSh or not because on one hand there's a lot of things that look very fun, but on the other the downsides like the dex culling and especially (for me anyways) the move culling are just too big of marks against it that I'm not sure if any of its potential positives could actually make up for that...
I’m only speaking about how it affects me personally because I can only speak for myself and my own experiences. I can’t speak for your or anyone else because I don’t know what your options are, hence why I keep saying FOR ME. I’ve said multiple times that you’re okay to feel the way you do, I just don’t share that view. That’s why I keep stating this is MY perspective and no one else’s. You obviously feel differently and I have never said that WASNT okay. Scytherwolf Can feel however she wants. I only responded because you quoted me and I figured that meant you wanted my perspective but I guess not. I’m really tired of arguing with you about this. Neither of us is going to change our perspective on this, so I won’t respond further if you tag or quote me further.
