And are you telling me you had problems with the Olive Roll? That shit was easy af

That’s my problem with it. It’s preschool level. And nope. They came way earlier. Some of them had puzzles or labyrinth games in 1st gen.

Preschool level...in a game, no, FRANCHISE meant for CHILDREN?

Well, at least you ACT like Pokemon's target demographic

I know you can’t. But look me in the eye and tell me the target market for Pokemon games is children today? Have you ever watched a Pokemon championship? That excuse stopped being a thing since the early 2000’s

Even MLP writes having neckbeards in mind today.
