God forbid thinking that this:
is a little compliated right? Maybe admit that the games became complicated for some people that don't follow the games as closely as you. gatekeeping at it's worst.
This... isn't exactly a very fair post or seems like it comes remotely close to arguing in good face. Especially since you're using stuff like how base stats are calculated to try and indicate how complicated the other games are, but like, even Let's Go Eevee and Let's Go Pikachu do exactly the same thing! Just with EVs not being a factor, and Awakening Values and the Happiness Boost replacing them in the stat formula! It's no less complicated!
So, like, if that makes the other games complicated, then Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are just as complicated for doing the same stuff, since, if you have to know them in the main games (you don't) or whatever argument you're making here, since they also exist in Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, you also have to know and understand that stuff to play these games as well, right?
But of course that's silly, you don't need to know any of that stuff to play Let's Go Eeevee/Pikachu, or the other games in the series. Nobody has the catch formula memorized, 'cause that doesn't matter anyway, and it all comes down to whether a Pokémon is weak enough and has a low enough catch rate that it can practically be a guaranteed catch, or it's something like a Legendary where it's pretty much just luck no matter what you do. Nobody cares about the formula, so bringing up the catch formula of all things as some kinda "gotcha" seems rather weak.
Like, if you want to argue that Pokémon games are complicated, that's fine. Because, indeed, there are a lot of complicated things about it, and we can talk about that. That's all fine, and I won't argue that. But this is not the way to make that argument and comes off really, really poorly and more like trolling than anything and just isn't the best approach if you actually want to get people on your side here, using obvious hyperbole like that, when, as far as those type of things go, even Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu do nothing to fix backend stuff like that and are just as complicated...
