Well when the people are saying stuff like "You don't have the experience for programming and running a team", they are probably just jealous of you coming up with an idea like this and want you to feel bad so don't let their opinions sting you down.

Pokemon should of been like the first Digimon game the whole time. If anyone played Digimon World 1 for the ps1, you'll know why I said that.

Liking the anime doesn't mean you aren't a "true fan", same goes for hating it. "True fan" is one of the most obnoxious terms circulating the internet, and anyone that subscribes to to that kind of thinking can shove their arbitrary criteria where the sun don't shine. You seem to truly care about the franchise, and that alone makes you a fan.

I always hated those "hardcore" fans who are so friggin' focused on the old ways that they can't appreciate something different. Each new Gen. gets new hatred, worse than the last. Poor Generation 3! Gen. 3 Pokémon are awesome, but because of introducing new stuff and changing things up a bit, Generation 3 got intense fan hate.

I kind of like the anime, too, lol. Best Wishes is the best series so far, to be honest.

Hah, you think any one of us here have found our "identity" in the fandom? We all keep trying to define ourselves and others as "real" and "fake", while the very definition of those terms is fluid and constantly changing. Claiming to be "real" based on your likes and dislikes is absolutely ludicrous, because someone who calls themselves "real" may consider you "fake" for the very same reasons you define yourself as real. Ludicrous, I tell you.

I like the main games. I like the turn-based RPG battle system, as Pokemon is one of very few games who still use it nowadays. The side-games are a whole 'nother story. Mystery Dungeon is a fantastic rogue-like dungeon crawler, while Rumble is just a generic (and honestly quite terrible) beat-em-up. Then you have puzzle games like Trozei! and Puzzle League, strategy games like the GB adaptation of the TCG and Conquest, and party games like PokePark. Not to mention the ones I wish never happened. Fuck you Pokemon Snap. Because the side-games are so diverse, it's hard to justify how someone's opinion of them would dictate their "fan status".

I'm not gonna sugarcoat this: the anime is terrible. I hate it. Does that make me a fake fan? No. Does it make me a real fan? Hell no.

Don't worry about it; it really doesn't matter.

So, if somebody disagrees with you, you become the most hated person? I would be at the top of the list then.

I won't bother with replying to any of the other points, because I feel it's kind of moot, but I'd like to say that complaining about what other say when it comes to coding is just a lazy excuse, and you should start fucking coding it yourself.
