Dark Link Wrote:I'm officially sick of the subreddit now. There's a big group of people who are deliberately trying to undo any and everything Democracy does now just to prove a point about how Anarchy "must be the only mode" to accomplish anything on. Shortly after Democracy got into the Viridian Gym, Anarchy took back over and immediately went out and jumped the ledge to prevent progress because Democracy "doesn't count" now.

IllegallySane Wrote:I dunno. I kind of ignore those people and just focus on all the content the subreddit pumps out. So in other words I just focus on the "hot" tab and don't concentrate on trash posts like that.

Marksman Bryan Wrote:Oh I assumed actually using fly to travel would be ridiculous; I was wondering if they were trying to give him another attacking move since quick attack can only do so much.

Dark Link Wrote:Earlier today, nearly a quarter of the front page was just topics pomegranate talking on Democracy. The only thing I even liked about the subreddit in the first place was the fanart and whatnot, but that's starting to be drown out by the pure anarchists downplaying anything Democracy does now. It's a sad thing.
I don't know, I'm just being snooty about this whole thing. TPP HAS CHANGED ME!

I guess it's a good thing RES has an "ultra ignore" feature.

EDIT: Oh look, Democracy gets us back in the Gym and shortly after Anarchy takes back control, they instantly revert the democracy progress by running back out and jumping the ledge.

There's too much immaturity and stupidity going on for me to stay interested, that stuff instantly kills my interest of just about anything.

The fact that they think they can "prove their point" by reversing everything the other mode does just further escalates the pointlessness of everything going on here.

I'm sure the guy who started this has all the research he needs to do whatever he wanted to do with it (I doubt this came unprovoked). This Anarchy vs Democracy crap can write a few papers by itself.

Also, it's rare for something so seemingly meaningless, as you probably view it, could produce such a community and give meaning to non-sentient beings in ways one wouldn't have ever imagined. It's even better considering Pokemon Red/Blue has been around for over 15 years and this one idea, a new way of playing the same old game, has created something that the whole internet couldn't simply ignore. This will pave the way for something in the future. What? I don't know, but it's going to be interesting for sure.
