Reading GameFAQs thread “Pokemon Sword/Shield or Pokemon Violet/Scarlett?”
OP asks what game is better to get back into. But one post said “Do not bother with any of the Game Freak developed 3DS or Switch games.”
Wow! I didn’t realize how much cynical Pokemon fans hated Pokémon X/Y and Sun/Moon. I know both generations aren’t as well received, but even after all the hate Gen 8 and Gen 9 got (to be honest, Dexit was a big mistake), they still hate Gen 6 and Gen 7 with a passion. Is Pokémon X/Y that bad of a game? What about Sun/Moon?
GameFaqs can be a very negative forum.
I spent a year posting there. It definitely has one of the more hostile user bases and many people will sour on things for the sake of it.
I mentioned enjoying a DLC and my post didn't go along with the rest of the thread of people complaining. So I got called an apologist.
Then another guy who would follow me into every single thread to disagree with me. (And he said it was necessary because my posts weren't of any quality).
I had enough. I'd rather spend down time here and not on a forum that drained my mental health.
