Rant

Stupidly deciding to check out Pokecommunity again, I came across a complaints thread. You know, because that's what the fandom does best. Of course, I got the age-old complaints that everyone in Pokemon is too happy. You know what, I've given up trying to argue with the complainers anymore. So, if you can't beat them, join them.
